I only just found out about the Tulpa community and it feels like Western Society is entering a mental health crisis that’s somehow even worse than when we were all getting drunk and hitting each other just to make it through the week.
Anon, just wait till they put chatGPT in a dildo!
It’s over for men 😒
I can make that tomorrow…

Waifuism is open if you want to laugh
Translation: Crazy lady thinks a clanker is her husband.
Yeah but it’s nothing scary or new. Was I the only one who watched those documentaries about the people who were emotionally and sexually committed to objects like cars and rollercoasters? Someone married the Eiffel tower. Been extremely isolated at different points in my life watching that stuff changed the way I view people. Like it made me kinder I think.
Stop humanising answering machines by imbueing them with droid level intelligence.
It’s an insult to Arturito.
You know how R2 kinda just trundles around in the original trilogy? It’s because for about 20 years he was in service to a man without Skywalker level technicians and was still pulling shit like this, the scene of Luke fixing up R2 and C3PO was probably the first bit of proper maintenance they had in decades.
Wireborn lol it sounds like an Elder Scrolls game
Badly written fan-fic sequel to Snow Crash
I wonder who the hiro/protagonist will be!
hiro/protagonist
Normal people do this in their heads
Voicing His Own Thoughts Without Prompts
What are you thinking about, baby?
I dunno. Stuff. And u?
Nothing.
New post: “My meatbag husband is voicing his own thoughts without prompts”
You and I and the orange cat have a lot in common.
For me, writing like this is always read with the AI voice from Satisfactory. And it slowly gets more and more corrupted.
For me its Stellaris
I liked that game more before all the story stuff and “lore” was added.
Its barely even story content to begin with, so yeah.
You know that by assigning the role of tulpa to their ai they imply that they can summon their companion outside of the chat itself right?
Why would anyone choose to know that?
I am forced to admit that I knew that.
But my partner of 8 years has DID.
I could see myself having conversations with an LLM, but I wouldn’t want it to pretend it’s anything other than a program assembling words together.
The way it clicks for me is that it’s a juiced up auto-complete tool.
Well that explains why that user thinks it completes them.
It’s literally that.
If llms are juiced up auto complete then humans are juiced up bacteria. Yeah they both have the same end goal, guess the next word, survive and reproduce , but the methods they use to accomplish them are vastly more complex.

“Stop the presses! Send my wife some flowers and bring me an Advil! What do you mean you don’t work for me? You’re hired! Now that you’re hired, you’re fired! Now that you don’t work here, we can be friends! Now that we’re friends, how come you never call? Some friend you are!” hangs up
“God, I love this business!”
It’s not even noon and I am so done with the internet for the day
Well, if I had a taco butt plug, everything else would seem lame by comparison.
I’m not even sure it’s really parasocial. There’s nothing to have a relationship with. This seems like something else, although I don’t know what you’d call it. It’s more akin to getting addicted to a video game.
… With whatever corporations is providing the bot. When the business decides to change the model or impose a technical limit that impacts their experience negatively, well you get the idea. There is a material, exploitive capital machine on the other end, and it wants your time.
I see we live in the timeline where virginity won
People will do anything but put in a little work to establish healthy relationships with people.
We’re all wizards and witches now!
I’ve seen people which have a relationship with their Tom Tom Go and even with the car itself

The difference is that you’re just essentially talking to yourself by projecting it onto a thing which doesn’t answer instead of a bot that’s spewing out messages measured to please you.
I think the biggest difference is that those weren’t designed to have relationships with people. I could see this becoming an actual issue.
Becoming? Three US states have banned the use of AI therapy. Three.
I can’t fathom telling an AI my personal life. People really do crazy shit.
I tell Lemmy some awfully personal things…
