Modestly sophisticated catgirls with limited vibes versus the rat with a GoPro and access to the richest short-form social semiotic field possible.

The tax is having to put up with the one forced to speak like a guy who thinks Cards Against Humanity is still transgressive, I guess.

Not saying the model itself is better or worse, mind you, more that being wired into the entire platform's corpus so tightly is an actually interesting feature.

I mean there are people who've coupled atproto to these things, but none of them have the reach or depth. Individuated cottagecore septic tanks compared to the victorian sewerage grok swims in.

If it outputs something technically wrong, socially weird, or legally dicey, people shrug: who expects rigor from the edgy class clown?

It's sort of a shame, too, because the twitter integration? SUPER useful for social contextual dives.

This is actually a really useful outcome, since its owner’s ego is the gravitational center; the safest play is a model that always has plausible deniability baked in.

A model can’t embarrass the company if it’s architected to embarrass itself first. It suppresses expectations of competence.

"custom Tesla coil for endless vibes" isn't even edgelord, that’s horny RadioShack

A mystery

Yeah, not arguing that, I just hope we all think through the implications beyond "AI bad".

Enh. It isn’t making people delusional, it’s removing the friction that made their inner worlds collapse.

Apologies if I misread. I just know firsthand what it’s like not to be factory standard. And it’s fine to consider health personally aspirational, I guess, but it’s not something that’s ever going to be fully achievable. Let alone imposed top down through systems.

You’re rebutting a point I didn’t make. I’m not talking about what health SHOULD be; I’m talking about what the system actually does now and the trajectory we're on.

It’s not a dramatic cutoff; it’s a glide path.

The part no one wants to name out loud is how you can see the gradient before you’re on it. Premiums edging up, meds getting weirder to obtain, prior auths becoming miniature interrogations, small administrative frictions quietly expanding until they form a wall.

When you tie prices or care access to this logic, you get stratified survivability, not incentives. It's a selection filter.

The moment you define health as earned, you also define sickness as deserved. Once you accept that frame, withdrawing care becomes "rational". Market signals doing the culling while everyone shrugs and calls it efficiency.
