The moderators of a pro-artificial intelligence Reddit community announced that they have been quietly banning “a bunch of schizoposters” who believe “they've made some sort of incredible discovery or created a god or become a god,” highlighting a new type of chatbot-fueled delusion that started getting attention in early May.

Boy have I got news for you.

Look up the Zizians.

(Ok they’re only a tangential offshoot of people who maybe really like the Basilisk thought experiment and mostly don’t believe it. But hey. It’s underway!)

shit is so fucking insane, hard to believe. not gonna help us trans folk with the whole "this is just a mental illness" look either, especially with the "correlation is causation" attitude running so rampant these days.

honestly I get popping off once in a while but the reasoning is poor in this case. they could have done something more actually effective with all those resources and shit, why this?? I mean, I totally get cultism - I spent 16 years in a cult. but ugh what a waste.

Its so fucking crazy that it actually broke Robert Evans, who is primarily famous for learning, writing about, and presenting the most fucked up parts of history.
