    This is easily the least scary and convincing analogue horror series ever.

    Just give it up.

    AI development has a few factions. People that want to make and fuck their AI daughter/girlfriend. Researchers that want to under the basis of the human mind. Capitalists that want to convert human intelligence into capital they can fully own (slavery is the first attempt). Then finally cultists that want to make God in their image.

    It’s a crazy field for someone that is fascinated by thinking about thinking and want to make useful little tools.

      It’s not real though. It’s part of their stupid guerilla psyslop marketing. They’re trying to pump the bubble.

    Well they do have the plan to make some AI that knows everything and makes decisions for humanity and builds new inventions at record pace.

    They love their transhumanism. I’m so happy I’m 51 and I expect to be very old when shit really hits the fan. Still think the 1990s was peak humanity.

    I could see a bunch of programmers scamming a journo into believing this story, but would have expected an editor to catch it. Unless they’ve all been replaced with LLMs.

    I never wondered whether I was talking to anything approaching a divine being due to the number of mistakes. However, there have been points in the past with cloud models where I wondered whether I was actually talking to a human somewhere being paid a pittance to pretend to be AI. I self-host LLMs nowadays and am fairly confident there’s no human on the other end of OpenCode, but in the early days of cloud LLMs, I wouldn’t put it past them.

    of Zizians and other groups have been at it for a while now. This is something that should have been jumped on as soon as two cult members got together in shared beliefs. Unfortunately half of the solution involves holding a light up to “real” religions and pointing out the mechanics of bullshit.

    pledge allegiance to AI safety and undergo a psychological profiling test, per The Information.

    And according to a rumor that, per The Spectator‘s Sean Thomas, is running rampant in Silicon Valley these days, some Anthropic engineers are going as far as to “worship” the company’s AI model Claude.

    It would seem that the AI safety psych profiling test should be screening out / rejecting those who would give an AI “whatever it wants.”

    the Effective Altruists / Effective Accelerationists / Rationalists that started OpenAI and Anthropic are cult members anyways. Rolling Stone reported this in 2024. WIRED reported about the murderous sect in 2025.

    the guy who made the rounds last week about the 10% chance of killing us is one of the key figures in the Rationalist movement. his fear is stemmed in religious fervor, not socioeconomic equity.

    these people have always been deeply unwell.

      If I remember from my Latin lessons, claudit means something like “closes”. Like with a door

        The Latin name Claudius, which is where the French name Claude comes from, originally was an adjective meaning ‘limping, lame’. I guess it might be related to claudo ‘to close’ as well, but the usage of the name was primarily inspired by the carrier (including the Roman emperor) having a limp.
