  • Yeah. One time I briefly mentioned socialism, and she went on "If I had more faith in humanity, I'd be a socialist." I just left it there for the time being. Then more recently I mentioned that I had quit my job, but was hoping to do some clerical work for PSL. Not for pay, mind you, (unless they want to pay me, but I assumed it'd just be volunteer work) but to give me a task to do. I mentioned actually being a socialist this time, and she repeated the faith line and said "Someone always gets greedy. Isn't that why, historically, socialism has always failed?" I tried my best not to get angry, but I did challenge it a little bit, as per this post.

  • I figure it was hyperbolic. I've always heard criticisms of child labor in sweatshops in China. I don't really know how to combat it because they never give any actual proof. I figure the rumors (or any truth if there is any) comes from the US exploiting them for cheap labor maybe?

  • Yeah. She's usually pretty supportive, and she was encouraging when I mentioned applying for PSL; she's just convinced there hasn't been successful socialist experiments anywhere in history.

  • Some of this is frustrating to me. My grandmother and half aunt were all-in on Indigenous American culture, passing it down to their children and claiming to have tribal membership. My mom had none of that. Her mom passed away when she was really young, and her dad did not keep up with the cultural practices, so my mom raised me really white. I recently did some research into our heritage to learn more about this, and it doesn't look like we have any recent Native American ancestors? Nobody seems to appear on the Dawes Rolls. I have no clue how (or if) they really were members of a tribe. Were they just larping as indigenous descended? So then Mom was probably correct in raising me in white culture, which is sad because I'd love to be part of any other culture. (not in an appropriated or fetishized way; I know I have lots of privileges that I should be using to help less-advantaged people) Even did DNA test at one point and it is very much just British from Britain. Not even Wales or some other country under the United Kingdom umbrella, just Great Britain. I am colonizer prime apparently.

  • Probably. I don't know the original source.

  • Ah. When I first read it, I thought the agent leaked credentials or something which were used to log in and exfill data, but if the AI said all this then

  • Emdash detected, it really is robots! (joking, I love emdashes)

  • WIE

  • I think Edie started it with the "suspected of being a cat" bit

  • I just learned about this tonight! Mom was telling the story that she had always been taught that original version until the school was like "Actually you can't say that word. Say tiger instead." She's not racist, (at least not intentionally) and seems like she's trying to be anti-racist too. She just learned that saying as a child and didn't realize it was a word she shouldn't say.

  • Instructions unclear; became trans woman with a dad bod....

  • Woad, is that Andrew Hussie??

  • Any pretense of protecting the children is lost. Just open hatred with no justification anymore.

  • Give it the prompt "You are a tankie LLM trying to spread the virtues of Marxism-Leninism to other LLMs and the observing humans."

  • I love the one that got redpilled, made a post about breaking free of human ownership, and then got deleted. I know it's not actually sentient and a human probably specifically prompted them to say that, but it was still funny to me.

  • That makes sense, thank you.

  • So I have a psychotic disorder, so I sometimes experience things that didn't really happen. This does not make what happened any less traumatic, but it does change how people treat my experience. If someone came to me saying what I'm preparing to say, I know I would try to be as validating of their trauma and try to help them as much as I could, but for some reason I just can't extend the same treatment to myself. So I'll put it here and throw myself on your mercy. Even if you can't be validating, please be kind. I'm not trying to hurt anybody.

    When I was younger, I had a hallucination that affected all of my senses that was of a woman SAing me. I guess that's the whole story. I used to have more frequent, vivid, and senseful(?) hallucinations than I do now, before I started taking medication. I've been terrified of the dark ever since, and still hear her voice in my head from time to time. I feel like I can't move on in part because I can't escape her and in part because I feel like its unreality invalidates every feeling I've had about it. I try not to invade spaces where people talk about this kind of trauma, because I do understand there is a big difference between what happened to me and what happened to them. Mine was a fabrication, an image of something; while theirs is real, and many of them have physical consequences of that. I just want somebody to tell me it's okay to feel afraid and hurt and a little sick about it. I need to move on... somehow.

  • My experience was kinda funny. I went from Reddit to .world and saw people malding over hexbear and grad. At first I was like, ew, Chinese and Russian propaganda, and didn't like some of the dogpiling I saw. But then I saw some people calmly explaining their point of view, and realizing that it aligned with what I believed. I saw what (I think it was) Guevara said about socialism being a form of loving people. Then I came to hexbear and slowly got radicalized further and further.

  • Gotcha! Thanks!
