Dilbert guy scares himself with a computer

Truly a genius. Far too dangerous

I one hundred percent believe that Scott Adams was hypnotized by a LLM.
- "As a Large Language Model, I think you should put on the cat ears Scott"
  
  Meow like a good kitten and I'll tell you more about how deep my rabbit holes go
- You can hypnotize yourself if you stare in a mirror or watch a recording
  
  This explains why binging TV shows is so addictive, it's hypnotism!
- This on those things that is an unforced self own.
This "LLMs are super scary you guys they might even be sapient" grift is so eye-rollingly stupid. These people are on the mental level of literal children.
- If my furby wasn't sapient, how could it talk to me?
  
  That was the Chinese secret police ya dingus.
- I'm pretty sure children are much smarter than some of these people
  
  I shit you not I heard an 11 year old kid buying candy at the cash register and he was legit explaining some basics of labor theory of value through the lens of candy price increases. Kids have damn good intuition.
Not sure why you'd want to advertise that you're extremely susceptible to suggestion but maybe that's why I'm not an alpha male
- Didn't he like recently get scammed for a shitload of money and then told people about that too
  
  Really? Does anybody have details on this?
- The computer told me to close my eyes and not think and I did. Check mate beta cuck
Every time I hear something else about Scott Adams, I get more embarrassed about liking Dilbert when I was a shitty teen.
- My godfather got me Scott Adams' business book when I was 10 for my birthday present
  
  I didn't even like Dilbert, I was a Calvin & Hobbes kid
  
  I'm still a Calvin and Hobbes kid
  
  Calvin and Hobbes is still so good
  
  Christopher: "He was my godfather. But he knew I liked Calvin & Hobbes. He knew that. Dilbert - who likes that shit? Nobody wants that shit."
  
  Adriana: "So that's when you keyed his car?"
  
  Christopher: "No. That was another thing. Are you even listening to me! Pass me the bowl!"
  
  Adriana: "Pass it to yourself." And she walks angrily to the bedroom.
  
  He throws up his hands.
- Isn't his descent into madness more recent? Like the bulk of his work was before he went insane. Right?
  
  No, he's like Kanye or musk, always insane but better at hiding it
  
  He's probably gotten worse, but looking back, there were warning signs
  
  He showed hints of it when the tea party was taking off, but it was fairly level-headed stuff. The descent into madness was gradual, and I feel blessed to read his earlier posts where a germ of the madness started off.
- I was never into Dilbert but my parents got me that big collection of them where Scott Adams leaves little comments on them in a sort of marginalia way. It was before a large car trip and I think they thought it would be just funny cartoons like Calvin and Hobbes (which I'd read earlier) to keep me entertained. And so for some reason I can remember certain Dilbert comics in crystal clarity including Scott Adams opinions on the reaction at the time.
  
  Weirdly a similar thing happened to Mattie Lubchansky author of the Antifa Cookbook and Boys Weekend.
  
  I had several of the cartoon books, but the only one I remember specifically is the one where Dogbert asks a recruit for the holy war (Linux vs Windows, I think?), "Can you chant?"
  
  Something about that just really tickled me.
same vibes as that cult expert who said sissy hypno videos he found on the internet were CIA-tier brainwashing or something
- This is an incredibly high-tier bit!!
And you didn't let it hypnotize you into becoming a sissy cuckold? What kind of man are you?!
- Sure, I fantasize about being forcibly sissified and liling it. Plenty of cis people do, amirite lads?
  
  Helloooooo
  
  Forcibly cissified
  
  Ain't nothing gay about getting stuffed by the homies unless you cuddle afterwards... Or so I'm told
  
  I do :hyperflush:
  
  yes, there are literally dozens of us
- He did, and that's why it's so dangerous
He sissy hypno’d himself
- hahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahah
  
  Rod Dreher, you have customer...

last night i made my amazon alexa tell me a scary story and the ghost of lon chaney jr. popped out of the floor and he looked at me
The prompt: You will not call your ex after drinking
hey you, did you know that The Digital God is coming, trust me on this, also if you can make a donation to our 'Society for AI Alignment' that would be great too
Is it possible to train an AI to convince people who believe LLMs are sapient to take a permanent vow of silence?
He was hypnotized long before the LLM got there.
