@shortmagsmle This is funny but it’s really important to note that what he is doing is altering the way he thinks based on the outputs he constantly exposes himself to. More and more morons are going to do this. They are “ChatGPT”-ifying themselves by choice.

@alth0u I used to do something similar as a kid

My mom wouldn’t let me play ps3 during school season, so I’d simulate the game in my head and play it

The same with eating — there was a point in my life where I’d simulate eating in my head, and be satiated instead of wasting time eating

@shortmagsmle It's reddit.

No one there thinks.

Accidentally re-inventing “thinking” from first principles

@catehall Have you found much wisdom in LLMs? I yet have to!

@shortmagsmle Lmao, incredible stuff.

@shortmagsmle I don't believe redditors can ever gain consciousness. God would not permit such a cruel joke.

@shortmagsmle To a redditor, unlocking the ability of “personal thought” is an accomplishment of monumental proportions.

@shortmagsmle No there’s actually something interesting here. They’ve internalized the AI’s frame of mind, in the same way you would a parent or friend. There’s n order effects from a large part of society internalizing same frame of mind. Accelerating the hive mind.

@shortmagsmle people just next-word predictors confirmed, ted chiang on unalive watch

@alth0u

@shortmagsmle @TLEPaz The first redditor to unlock internal narrative/dialogue and the best they could compare it to is AI. Amazing self report.

@shortmagsmle This sounds like a joke but what if this is the end result of LLMs... people relearning how to think for themselves? It would be the most ironic outcome and imo irony always wins...

@shortmagsmle The redditors are becoming self-aware. Shut it down!!!

@shortmagsmle From last principles

@shortmagsmle @DrunkRepub Does he ever run out of tokens?

@shortmagsmle @EudaimoniaEsq I think this might be the opposite of first principles

@123581321u @shortmagsmle Yes. AI is hacking people's brains.

@shakoistsLog @alth0u i know every 4chan meme is lesser known yet wildly influential. but man this is one of the greats

@shortmagsmle This will lead to people who, by their own self-regression, will more and more begin to truly believe that these LLMs are the height of thought not because they are but because these cattle have mirrored their thoughts completely to them.
