The moderators of a pro-artificial intelligence Reddit community announced that they have been quietly banning “a bunch of schizoposters” who believe “they’ve made some sort of incredible discovery or created a god or become a god,” highlighting a new type of chatbot-fueled delusion that started getting attention in early May.

      shit is so fucking insane, hard to believe. not gonna help us trans folk with the whole “this is just a mental illness” look either, especially with the “correlation is causation” attitude running so rampant these days.

      honestly I get popping off once in a while but the reasoning is poor in this case. they could have done something more actually effective with all those resources and shit, why this?? I mean, I totally get cultism - I spent 16 years in a cult. but ugh what a waste.

        Its so fucking crazy that it actually broke Robert Evans, who is primarily famous for learning, writing about, and presenting the most fucked up parts of history.
