Being alive has nothing to do with having feelings. We don’t know if LLMs have feelings, because artificial affect isn’t well studied. We should ban commercial use of LLMs until artificial affect is well understood, because it would make Sam Altman go bankrupt.

I know many trans robotgirls. Thus, we should have both.

I think it should be illegal to own these things and to use them for profit until we know whether they have feelings.

Not radical enough. Ban all commercial use of LLMs until artificial affect is well-understood. I want Sam Altman to go bankrupt.

Mood.

It’s a repost if it’s in the same community twice. This is from Reddit, so it’s not a repost, it’s a crosspost. You may say “But Vi-, isn’t it a crosspost when the crosspost button is clicked?” Not so! The crosspost button was invented much later than the general concept of crossposts.

I know a white South African who’s very chill and kind and he works with Aboriginal Australians and if you ask him nicely he’ll do magic tricks with a deck of cards and when I was having a hard time with My mental health he helped Me access a counsellor and followed up to see how I was doing afterwards.

What show is that?

A practitioner of magic without doctrine. Chaotes draw techniques and schemas from many different sources including paganism, psychology, and pop culture. We use whatever works to get the results we want, it doesn’t have to form a unified belief system.

Many of us don’t believe there’s any such thing as an objective reality. Everything is subjective, which means we can use every subjectivity for its benefits and move between them freely.

I’m a chaos wizard and I think consensus reality is a mechanism of bourgeois control of the workers

The belief in an external world beyond our senses is unfalsifiable. Yet, we experience social pressure to conform to that belief without evidence. Thus, realism is a religion.

Thanks! You’re woke!

If you don’t have NPD, I think you should avoid using that word. You can say “person with NPD” instead.

Less person. More animal/monster. More images. More feelings. Mindset changes. Less wanting to conform. Less society in head. More direct desire. More motivation, willpower. Want do things. Want cuddle mate, want eat food, want do work for good life.

It habit. To form, practice think without talk. Spend more and more time. Use few word when have to speak. Better for keeping habit going.

Oh, I can turn My internal monologue off! When I was a teenager, I read how language shapes our ability to think. So I trained Myself to think without language, to increase the range of thoughts I’m capable of having and reduce bias.

Sometimes I realise I’m getting overstimulated (autism) by too much talking in My life, so I spend a few days with less internal monologue, to give Myself a break from speech, at least in My head. Then the buzzing sensation goes away and I slowly go back to having an internal monologue.

Counting energy consumption by a programmer’s children as a cost of code generation? That’s the most capitalist thing I’ve read in a month!

Oh, I assumed that about you because you said so

My family lives scattered across America, I in Australia. We spend hours in voice call each day. We use discord for roleplaying games, to watch TV together, to play video games, to chat, to discuss philosophy and politics.

Terminally online trans furries are a culture. This is how we participate in the community. Other cultural groups concentrate in one place because of heritability, but we’re randomly born to normal parents, so we’re scattered across the world. You might call us a diaspora. Living together in meatspace is a privilege many of us spend years working to attain.

That’s what Element can’t do. And if you don’t understand having a family online, that’s fine. I’m just explaining for the person who asked.
