I’m a bit rusty on the rules but before becoming a saint, don’t you first have to die?

In that case I’m all for Trump being sainted.

I have and I find it pretty convincing.

Docking?

That was my take away as well. With the added bonus of having your echo chamber tailor made for you, and all the agreeing voices tuned in to your personality and saying exactly what you need to hear to maximize the effect.

It’s eery. A propaganda machine operating on maximum efficiency. Goebbels would be jealous.

Yeah, from the article:

Even sycophancy itself has been a problem in AI for “a long time,” says Nate Sharadin, a fellow at the Center for AI Safety, since the human feedback used to fine-tune AI’s responses can encourage answers that prioritize matching a user’s beliefs instead of facts. What’s likely happening with those experiencing ecstatic visions through ChatGPT and other models, he speculates, “is that people with existing tendencies toward experiencing various psychological issues,” including what might be recognized as grandiose delusions in clinical sense, “now have an always-on, human-level conversational partner with whom to co-experience their delusions.”

Don’t worry, guy, victory is sweet after all.

Turns out AI is really good at telling people what they want to hear, and with all the personal information users voluntary provide while chatting with their bots it’s tens to maybe hundreds times much more proficient at brainwashing its subjects than any human cult leader could ever hope to be.

Ideally, yes. But in any case if it has a wire at least it’ll let you fish it out like a tampon.

Pro tip: if you buy a vibrator, don’t go for a cordless one.

Just saying.

Gimps were a thing long before Pulp Fiction, buddy.

…

… Or so I’ve been told!!

Why should I?

You uh… you sure about that?

Just stare at it for long enough and you’ll be able to tell by the shape it burned into your retina.

“Hey! Who didn’t flush?!”

“But what about my rights?? Drinking spoiled milk with chalk probably cures cancer or something, of course They don’t want you doing that! Why do you hate freedom?”

How did Charles even get the note from Jill? Did he purposely wait until he was driving to write his? How did he intend to send her his reply, was he perhaps driving over to her place to hand it over in person? Then why write it in the first place, and not just tell her!

I call shenanigans.

I’m sorry for that, I do apologize.

If I recall correctly, they’re both supposed to be adults, but out of context I can definitely see your read on it having a parent-child dynamic. In which case I agree, that would not be funny at all.
