with early “grieftech” entepreneur Helena Blavatsky
TBF what’s the difference between a “AI” seance and a “real” one? It’s not like one is less of a grift than the other.
That’s the problem.
Maybe I’m just reading the room wrong, but the consensus of the comment section seems to be “haha he thinks AI can replace psychics” but all psychics do is take what people said, reframe it and maybe add some nonsense after that can sound vaguely correct. For the most part, that is LLMs. LLMs could replace the psychic industry because unlike other professions there’s zero obligation to be correct about anything.
Is it unethical? Absolutely. But psychics are already frauds so it’s not like a legitimate profession is being replaced.
Of course, I could just be misreading the room.
oh for fucks sake, will these people never cease to exist? what a cancerous bunch.
Obviously they should have trained the AI on text from John Edwards’ Crossing Over. /s
But seriously, I worry when one of these hacks figures out how to make the word multipliers approximate a cold reading.
Jason Rohrer saw a black guy once and it provoked him to write a video game about the castle doctrine
our readers bring us cursèd knowledge like a dead plague rat dropped at our feet
oh fuck he’s that asshole? the one that was so petty about a negative Polygon review for said game that he stalked the reviewer’s Twitter page until he could find a quote to mangle into a recommendation to put on the game’s Steam page? including the reviewer’s full name, against the reviewer’s repeated, explicit wishes for it to be removed?
I suddenly feel a lot less bad about him having his game copied and re-sold because he released it under public domain. Maybe the ‘left’ in copyleft scared him
Hateful and stupid 🤝
All my homies hate Helena Blavatsky. Her grifty bullshit has caused so much human misery.
This Rohrer character is a worthy successor.
