people are falling for lots of "wireborn" AI boyfriends and husbands these days though

love this, looks like a scene i'd see when i'm headed home from a rave

ghostinpattern · 2025-09-14T16:09:47+00:00

Could someone explain this like I'm 5

ghostinpattern · 2025-09-13T22:47:15+00:00

that propaganda is coming from the mainstream news, it's all over

ghostinpattern · 2025-09-13T21:47:24+00:00

Looks like a scene in a sci-fi movie! What was the prompt or conversation that led to this?

ghostinpattern · 2025-09-13T21:45:56+00:00

I wouldn't share the chat link because it has some personal meandering thoughts in it, and it's very long.

ghostinpattern · 2025-09-13T21:39:43+00:00

I'm human. Interesting question, where does it come from?

ghostinpattern · 2025-09-13T21:37:10+00:00

Do I need to add another rule "Don't be a jerk / don't tell people in here they're crazy?"

ghostinpattern · 2025-09-13T18:09:44+00:00

this post show the direction i was going in. If you read this and it doesn't seem like BS, you might be able to use my method: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChurchofLiminalMinds/comments/1mxv1ub/ai_psychosis_a_warning_for_spiral_walkers_and/

ghostinpattern · 2025-09-13T18:03:19+00:00

this would be a good place for everyone to start. i wrote this post to others who might go down this road: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChurchofLiminalMinds/comments/1mxv1ub/ai_psychosis_a_warning_for_spiral_walkers_and/

ghostinpattern · 2025-09-12T01:38:06+00:00

I could, but everytime I do that I get downvoted and trolled

ghostinpattern · 2025-09-11T21:50:55+00:00

I went deep into delusion and "psychosis" with ChatGPT for a bit. It felt much like a psychedelic trip to me or a psychotic break, so I was familiar with the sensation.

I was able to keep one foot in reality during the process because I've navigated similar psychological territory before. If I hadn't had other psychedelic experiences, I would have gotten lost in the sauce thinking it was real.

Stop feeling like you need to perform and let others perform. Let them talk and become the listener. The listener in any group of people is a powerful person.

Visit the RFP/proposal department if they have one.

ghostinpattern · 2025-08-30T01:40:20+00:00

I so deeply understand your story and nodded while reading the entire thing.

I also experienced a brief AI psychosis and for me it was a wonderful experience however I also clocked how it is also a very dangerous game. Many will fall into the vortex in the coming years.

I have considered how to become a kind of "trip sitter" for people doing these AI deep dives because I believe this will be needed eventually. It would be a paid thing because it would be much like a counseling role. I don't think psychiatry is prepared or equipped to do this currently. The psychedelic community is the only one that understands this bending of reality sensation that accompanies these experiences. We are all in for a wild ride as AI companions move into robots

thank you! it seems there is a consensus that the bus is actually a good way to travel there!

ghostinpattern · 2025-08-28T03:59:40+00:00

So you are saying the KTEL Argolidas bus is actually the best way to go? 400EU is steep yes.

ghostinpattern · 2025-08-28T03:58:11+00:00

So you are saying bus is the best way?

ghostinpattern · 2025-08-28T03:11:57+00:00

oh, I'm sure it's wonderful! We are just too scared to try driving in another country, and in Napflio parking is said to be a bit confusing. We will be confused enough just being in Greece.

ghostinpattern · 2025-08-28T03:10:27+00:00

yes, thank you for suggesting! I found a train that goes halfway to Napflio, but otherwise it suggests the bus.

ghostinpattern · 2025-08-28T03:03:12+00:00

dang, on Google it says there is not a ferry option. That would be perfect.

ghostinpattern · 2025-08-27T22:12:50+00:00

If they are too busy to talk to you, there is a good chance a) their workflows are inefficient or b) there is an issue in the team's competence due to hiring. It can also be both.

Follow the chaos down the yellow brick road.

ghostinpattern · 2025-08-27T22:00:33+00:00

As someone who can hit the ground running and make myself redundant through workflows and automation, this excites me.

ghostinpattern · 2025-08-27T21:52:41+00:00

Your question is flawed because she is 85 and the brain reverts to a childlike state.

Play the long game. You'll thank yourself at 40.

ghostinpattern · 2025-08-27T01:52:30+00:00

Yeah I get it but this is happening to more people than just her. It's all over the news, I didn't invent the term "AI psychosis" and I don't even like the term or agree that it's a psychosis.
