  • Funny thing is, there are a lot of reports from experiencers that there really is a non-material world out there, and a creator of some sort, and the NHI here are well aware of that. You have to go into the occult/new age/woo side of the phenomenon to get that perspective, but it’s pretty firmly established in “the lore”.

    No one knows how official first contact with NHI is going to go, if it even happens. I’m just saying don’t assume this will be the death of religion because there is plenty of hearsay out there that claims the exact opposite.

    I think it’s going to be hilarious if NHI show up and want to proselytize to us.

    I thought Reddit and Twitter were pretty clearly responses to the massive data grab by OpenAI that let them train their language models.

    I assume there are other factors involved too, like Reddit trying to force everyone to use its app. But I don’t think it’s coincidence this happened not long after ChatGPT took off.

    … Though now that you mention it, I wonder if there’s a connection between Netflix stamping out password sharing and Youtube getting serious about ads.

    It’s a little disgusting, but completely in character, for Reddit to leech off those apps for over a decade and then stab them in the back.

    And by leech, I mean I question whether Reddit would have grown as much as it did without the 3rd-party apps. Hardly anyone uses Reddit desktop.

    … it’s probably a good thing that I don’t have Reddit on my phone now, to be honest, just wish it hadn’t happened this way.
