  • This is an angle I’ve never considered before, with regards to a future dystopia with a corrupt AI running the show. AI might never advance beyond what it is in 2025, but because people believe it’s a supergodbrain, we start putting way too much faith in its flawed output, and it’s our own credulity that dismantles civilisation rather than a runaway LLM with designs of its own. Misinformation unwittingly codified and sanctified by ourselves via ChatGeppetto.

    The call is coming from inside the house mechanical Turk!




  • This is a pretty specific recommendation that might not apply to your situation, but if you’re into gaming (at any level), I highly recommend No Man’s Sky and its communities on reddit and Lemmy. The people there are the most welcoming and friendly I’ve ever encountered in the context of gaming, and finding new friends to co-op with is easy. From there, you can get to know people more and chat in non-gaming contexts.
