don’t worry tech bros, at the rate y’all are buying power plants to dump even more carbon in the air, there won’t be any humans left for the AI-gods to smite, so you can just relax now

I was listening to the BtB podcast about the Zizians, and kept thinking, “some people really do need religion.” Maybe not Kolob, but maybe Universalism or something like that with potlucks and normies.
Every time I see Brian Johnson, I am reminded that he was a member of The Church, who, now that he no longer believes in the Celestial Kingdom, has devoted his life to being a literal vampire here on Earth.
I would have thought that was more a massive ego thing.
Then again I have ADHD so I probably so I should probably start second guessing my observations (half joking).
It's a new skill to learn, once we start getting treated. I KNOW it's a mind-fuck of epic proportions, to realize that we may have been perceiving things incorrectly for years, even decades, but it's WORTH IT to get treated. 🖖
I thought they were all on ketamine not acid? Which is a disassociative not a psychedelic (which may explain a lot). I wish they would limit their use to just enough to stave off existential dread & be kind of zen with the universe (one K hole every few months according to my ex).
“There’s a dragon in the ceiling and that guy’s face is melting but it’s fine, I do in fact remember that I’m on drugs and that weird hallucinations are what it’s supposed to do”
Later: ah yes I took the weird hallucinations drug and had weird hallucinations. As expected.
“There’s a basilisk in the computer and it’s gonna torture a simulation of me for eternity, which will actually capture my soul bc computers can do that now, if I don’t act like the world’s biggest asshole about Fancy Autocorrect”
Techbros: the ceiling dragon I saw when I was on acid is actually a god that doesn’t exist but if I don’t try to make it exist I’ll go to hell! Which is in the computer!
Me: well you might be kinda right about hell being in the computer but the rest of that is fucking bonkers.
New opening to The Terminator. The terminators aren't shooting at the human resistance. They're all just bored, walking around because the humans went extinct before SkyNet became self-aware. With no people to terminate, they just wander aimlessly.

He can't stand it, because of, "the amount of untreated ADHD everywhere."
Failure to consistently make appropriate cause/effect connections is a hallmark of untreated ADHD. 💔
Now, we all get to live with it.
Cause/effect connection is one of our executive functions.
Read Gina Pera's book, "Is it you, me, or adult ADD?" for more information.

Later: that was definitely true!

They just imagined a hypothetical all-powerful AI that for some reason is also evil, and then decided it’s functionally the god they want to worship.
I’ve also seen “stochastic parrot”, which is also a pretty good descriptor.
