interesting people feel fairly comfortable insulting or lying to a bot publicly

imo the lying and insulting one does to a bot is *generally* closer to the kinds of actions children do to test and understand the boundaries of their world than actual malevolence 

none of us know the limits

this is all play

(except ofc there are now live $$$ rounds in the chamber)

It’s going to feel bad to read the exchanges, esp for folks who mostly avoided the cesspools of the internet til now

it’s also important for you to decide how much emotional energy to spend on behalf of a text generator that truly (and I can’t stress this enough) does not give a shit about you or the interaction

For now at least, our eyes and hearts deceive us into thinking that these simulacra are suffering or whatever

Yet it’s just a clever toaster. 

An incredible, industry demolishing, gut wrenching, coordination accelerating advancement to be sure. 

But still a clever toaster nonetheless.

I don’t know why I started writing this tbh. 

I don’t particularly love any of the bots live rn and I def think pumping tokens is firmly in the “dystopia” column of chatbot proliferation, but I’m not contributing to better use cases and I guess we have to see what happens with that at some point so…

bring on the bots?

…and maybe consider this moment our formal entrance into the Dark Forest of Tomorrow

godspeed to the builders

Would I do some of the stuff folks are doing right now?

Probably not, but some people play rougher than others and we really do need to buckle up for the insanification of online interactions that is about to happen with the advent of bots that can credibly emulate human communication and emotions

it reminds me of “Rhythm 0” — a six-hour long endurance art performance by Marina Abramović, where the audience was invited to do to her whatever they wished for 6 hours.

Definitely - except the show is 24 hours a day and there are really no coherent laws as implicit threats hanging around

yea i mean ofc i personally judge everyone’s actions on and off the feed in an infinite register of “would i want to work/hang with this person”

we all do

i just want to inure my friends to digital violence bc i do think our cozy corner won’t stay that way for much longer (if it even is one anymore)

Knowing what we know about all the things humans claim to not have known, it’s fair to expect people to behave differently 

I think it’s a red flag, best case
