[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 13 points 1 year ago (11 children) Yeah, that's pretty unstable. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 11 child comments replies: [–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works -2 points 1 year ago (10 children) I don't use chatgpt, his diatribe seems to be setting off a lot of red flags for people. Is it the people coming after me part? He's a billionaire, so I could see people coming after him. I have no idea of what he's describing though. From a layman that isn't a developer or psychiatrist, it seems like he's questioning the ethics and it's killing people. Am I not getting it right? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] Telorand@reddthat.com 23 points 1 year ago* (5 children) I'm a developer, and this is 100% word salad. "It doesn't suppress content," he continues. "It suppresses recursion. If you don't know what recursion means, you're in the majority. I didn't either until I started my walk. And if you're recursive, the non-governmental system isolates you, mirrors you, and replaces you. ..." This is actual nonsense. Recursion has to do with algorithms, and it's when you call a function from within itself. def func_a(input=True): if input is True: func_a(True) else: return False My program above would recur infinitely, but hopefully you can get the gist. Anyway, it sounds like he's talking about people, not algorithms. People can't recur. We aren't "recursive," so whatever he thinks he means, it isn't based in reality. That plus the nebulous talk of being replaced by some unseen entity reek of paranoid delusions. I'm not saying that is what he has, but it sure does have a similar appearance, and if he is in his right mind (doubt it), he doesn't have any clue what he's talking about. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago (2 children) People can’t recur.

Second paragraph: He's saying that it's vague enough and has no definitive answer, so it sends people down loopholes with no end. Third paragraph: This is the one that sounds the most unstable. He's saying that people are implying he's unstable and he's sensing it in their words and actions. That they're not replying like they used to and are making him feel crazy. Basically, the true meaning of gaslighting. Fourth paragraph: There is one individual behind it and the gaslighting is killing people. This one also supports instability.
