If you find me liking your old tweets, know that I’m just clearing my bookmarks, not stalking

@pli_cachete I don’t know you, but i am rooting for you so hard

[Ion @ionosphear]

@pli_cachete I’ve seen some of your posts and I just wanted to say i hope you don’t give up. Please reach out to someone you trust. Wishing you strength and relief

@0neaccord @bayeslord Did you follow any particular resource? Ive heard of Jhanas, but haven’t looked into it properly yet. I’ve done mindfulness on and off for years and attended a vipassana retreat. The effects for me have been subtle just feeling a bit more settled and calm.

Most people in the US and the rest of the Anglosphere probably do not understand the extent of their influence. In much of the rest of the world, the American way od life is higly aspirational and for understandable reasons. There is a lot worth emulating in the West. But online, what spreads most easily and widely are the shallow, trend-driven and vapid traits.

If you’re depressed and sure you want to die, you shouldn’t expect the state to do it for you. Making it into a formal process and expecting people who love you to stand by, do nothing and watch you die is much worse. And more often than not, suicide is a cry for help. Many do not go through with it or do not succeed. Formalising it may just pressure them into following through and not to mention the possible indirect pressure once they view the person as more valuable dead than alive. I can underdstand the argument more in the case of terminal illness, where there is no real hope of recovery and the person is in constand severe pain. But depression is not that

@SpaceX Is there any way you could share the artist names and track titles for the pre-event music from this live stream? @SpaceX

[Ion @ionosphear]

@bronzeageshawty If you don’t mind sharing, when you say you align your life with your menstrual cycle, what does that look like in practice? And congratulations!

[Ion @ionosphear]

@apstrusus84 @OpenAI @sama Yeah, read that, thank you

[Ion @ionosphear]

I agree, but a lot of the time reality feels cold and nihilistic on its own. People need some degree of myth or narrative to stay oriented. Without that, you end up feeling unmoored. The real challenge is finding stories you can genuinely believe in, ones that make you and the world around you better. Many things are “true” as long as you and those around you believe they are true.

@Mankosmash @cremieuxrecueil Isn’t he talking about people who consume CSAM? You may be right, but may be not all pedophiles consume CSAM or abuse children

[Ion @ionosphear]

@divya_venn I’d say be a little kinder to yourself. I don’t know you well, but from your posts you come across as bright and articulate. I think some things start to make better sense with time

[Ion @ionosphear]

@gabriel1 Is there anything that you would be willing to share for free, that is also legal? Something that is simple yet overlooked by many, and has helped the people you’ve guided?

Person I know has been described as 'skittish' since forever. She did Trauma Release Exercises (basically you tire your inner tights with exercises like the one below and it starts to shake and the whole body) and now is just... not?? anymore?? Like is out of flight-or-fight!?!?

This makes me think that this whole area (not even sure what to call it... "healing"!?) is just super high-dimensional and discontinuous, and exploratory search i.e. throw spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks is the way to go.

Like how can you have a problem for SO LONG people think it's your personality but then you do a 10 min exercise and it's permanently gone lmao

@xlr8harder I think he doesn’t see what he is doing as conflicting with his goals. His ultimate goal is to extend human consciousness. He doesn’t care how that happens- whether it upends culture, institutions, relationships, how people reproduce, etc.

[Ion @ionosphear]

@xlr8harder I understand, it must be incredibly hard to for all these companies to forgo huge revenue streams. And if they won't do it, someone else will I guess. I do not have an answer. But seeing someone with as much clout & reach as Elon openly posting this all the time is disappointing

[Ion @ionosphear]

@xlr8harder Exactly. I don’t see people criticizing Grok’s AI companions the same way they are Meta’s. It almost feels like they don’t want to get on Elon’s bad side or something. I think he has done a lot of great incredible things, but I’m not for him hyping this up.

[Ion @ionosphear]

@nabeelqu I agree, but i think XAI with Grok ai characters is headed that way too. I see a lot of lopsided criticism lately of Meta. I think in some ways, Grok AI is even worse than what Meta is putting out, especially with Elon hyping it up

[Ion @ionosphear]

@yacineMTB Is this really that different from Grok’s AI companions? Everyone's going to want to jump into this space with the kind of numbers they do. And it is going to be difficult to justify banning them when other platforms & content are allowed.
