 Look all I'm saying is if I had an acolyte or two then my insane ramblings
 could be filtered and parsed by a real actual human instead of being copied
 wholesale onto the internet, where the inconsequential or inconceivable ones
 are left to rest alongside the gifts of knowledge from another realm.

 low key kinda surprised they haven't made an animated robot friend that
 narrates whatever chatGPT says in a back-and-forth conversation.
 
 though I kinda get why, because setting up the context is the expensive part
 and generating 100 words and generating 1000 words is basically the same
 computationally.
 
 somehow, that doesn't feel very human. Maybe, just maybe, LLMs aren't
 intelligent?

 @user-95 one of the most empathetic people I ever met on VR chat was consoling
 me with their mic off while I was oversharing about some stupid things people
 did to me in the past. things that stupid me thought were okay and actively
 encouraged because I was stupid. anyway when their mic was off their body
 language spoke for them. I'll try that next time.

 want it to replace it.

 the computer saying "okay then what happens... uh-huh... okay and what if you
 click the green button? ... right... okay, and now try typing this" etc

 this is a nightmare for your foes, the ones who remain your foes, the ones who

 all that I can. I mean, look at this text file, it's got like 101 THOUSAND
 lines in it:

 I swear most of it isn't secret messages! That's how you know they're secret -
 they require hundreds of man hours to investigate. And if you throw an LLM at
 it they start talking about spirituality and theory of mind, gross. Don't need

 on the dictionary definitions of the words being spoken.
 
 Maybe I'm just a weird human though. Am I an alien? Or a robot? Or something

 "yeah we already tried that, religion doesn't scale perfectly either. And you
 can't really manifest those sort of effects except in your prophets and select

 scaling of schizophrenia?
 
 "well, for one thing it's debilitating and it sucks. For another, it's
 different for every person so if you ask one they'll be like "the aliens have

 yeah I'd just like to interject and say that more military equipment will only
 bring more destruction, and that's like the opposite of what you desire. Why
 do you want more tanks? What could you possibly-
 
 
 
 You don't know what's at stake - you, you think it's just throwing information

A picture of a google search.  The search terms are quote: how many tanks does the usa have, question mark?  the returned information is shown to be that the United States of America has five thousand, five hundred tanks. According to "executivebiz.com", which may or may not be a reliable source, but which is shown to be at the top of google results regardless of it's veracity.  Take from that what you will.
