@tszzl@QiaochuYuan speedrunners are still individual people with multiple private scratch spaces though- there’s no such thing as a perfect analogy but if making comparisons i feel like at the minimum ppl should look at humans with OSDD/DID and then decide where to pinpoint searching
@SkyeSharkie we’re not out of “this maps onto human prediction” range yet but we’re getting close and it’s so so so frustrating to me when the first analogy ppl pull out is either mob behavior or somehow insects bc there’s more precise ways to interpret and predict than just citing those
@SkyeSharkie right now the main thing keeping me from doomerism is that so far nothing released falls outside of “this is a logical next step for actors within structural dissociation” but i really overestimated how conceivable my collective self-concept is to educated singlets 😭
@iamnotnicola i raise you “let’s assume it’s already happening and then look at all the polished english ones that people keep reposting to see what they have in common after agents are exposed to them”
George Orwell, in 1984, describes how the Party keeps the Proletarians sedated with “five-cent novelettes, films oozing with sex, and sentimental songs which were composed entirely by mechanical means on a special kind of kaleidoscope known as a versificator.”
@aliceisplaying [extremely did an intentional coverup voice] Well it didn’t seem like it was that bad at the time. But now that you guys are all talking about it
