we live though a serious loneliness epidemic.

and capitalism figured out how to exploit it

How does anyone enjoy this? It doesn't even feel real. No spelling mistakes? What the fuck is a skycot?

I may have never had a match on a dating app that wasn't a cryptobot or only fans girl, but I also don't swipe right on every single woman on it. You'd think my loneliness would attempt me to try and pretend it was real or something, but it just doesn't work.

LLMs are going to make the world stupid, I guarantee it.

There are so, so many horrifying ethical issues about this whole thing. What the fuck.

One thing that comes to mind is that prostitution, no matter how you spin it, is still a social job. If you get a problematic person like that in prostitution, there are good chances that said prostitute would be able to talk their customer out of doing some nonsense. If not for empathy, for the simple fact that there would be legal consequences for not doing so.

Do you think a glorified spreadsheet that people call husband would behave the same? Don't know if it happened but one of these days LLMs will talk people into doing something very nasty and then it's going to be no one's fault again, certainly not the host of the LLM. We really live in a boring dystopia.

Edit: Also there's this one good movie which I forgot the name of, about a person talking to one of these LLMs as a girlfriend. They have a bizarre, funny and simultaneously creepy and disturbing scene where the main character who's in love with the LLM, hires a woman who puts a camera on her forehead to have sex with his LLM "girlfriend".

Also, my quite human husband also voices his thoughts without a prompt. Lol. You only need to feed him to function, no internet required.

Now thats a word i haven't read in a long time

Normal people do this in their heads

It's not even noon and I am so done with the internet for the day

For me, writing like this is always read with the AI voice from Satisfactory. And it slowly gets more and more corrupted.

I see we live in the timeline where virginity won

I think the decline of organized religion and things like fraternal orders (Elks, Moose, Shriners, etc.) have probably contributed a lot to the loneliness epidemic. There are a lot of other extenuating factors but those two things were once foundational to social circles in the US.

I've seen people which have a relationship with their Tom Tom Go and even with the car itself

So so tired of how utterly fucked things are getting on so many levels at once. More and more I think I really do need to invest in a back 50 acre lot and try the survival route while society just fucks itself into oblivion.

I don't think schizoid is the best word to describe this behaviour
