Eh… I don’t think that is quite an accurate/fair analogy.

Simply because it is dehumanizing, on the one hand, … neurotypicals are people, they have agency, and emotions, LLMs do not…

…and also LLMs explcitly do just try to mirror or tailor their vocab / writing style to be ‘correct’ as per what you are saying.

They’re literally built/designed to do this, as essentially extremely fancy autocomplete machines.

To me, that’s actually much more like autistic masking.

The hallucinations are thus arguably more akin to the kind of panic that occurs in an autistic person when they are trying to, on the fly, merge two different social masks… they say strange or awkward things or sometimes just fail completely and essentially make up some bullshit / contradictory / nonsensical or false concept.

They also don’t really actually have any real concept of ethics, as operating guidelines. They can discuss ethical theories, but they cannot really… employ them, in practice, unless you did a ton of work to try to command them to, basically.

Also, they’re fundamentally incapable of real learning. They can perhaps mimic this, in a single conversation, but all that’s gone with a new instance of talking to them.

Neurotypicals are obviously capable of learning.

They basically just assume what the other person means by something, and then proceed confidently with that assumption.

Failing to consider that you could be wrong about something, could have interpreted it incorrectly or entirely missed something important, yes indeed that does make it seem like they know things they actually don’t.

Its just a thing you have to get used to with neurotypicals: They’re usually not intentionally trying to construct their own specific version of a social reality… they just do it by default.

Which is often aggrevating because the way this often works out is they will basically put words into peoples mouths that they didn’t say, entirely invent context that did not actually exist, and also disregard extremely direct statements or invent a new meaning for them if it contradicts with their imaginary context.

Oh wow, I never would have expected the ‘I am a Mom of an Autistic Child’ people to demand that only they be allowed to speak for and have opinions about autism and autistic people.

Dave himself literally has an autistic kid.

Fuck all of these delusional narcissist aggreived white women who turn someone else’s intrinsic and unalterable identity into their valor and profit machine, by way of gaslighting and promoting nonsense that serves as a bullshit worldview that rationalizes their deep seated need to infantilize people they do not care to fucking actually listen to.

I viscerally hate these people, they are quite literally hateful bigots, who just absolutely need to be the victims, because they have no real identities of their own.

Absolute A+ cat name lol.

Aha! I’m glad that you had both … well, maybe not understood what you were getting into, but you were both informed and agreed to it, hahah!

Variety is the uh, spice of life, as they say.

I… wouldn’t use this as lube, because I wouldn’t want to just inflict this on a partner with no warning…

… but I find tiger balm on the nuts and bolt to be enjoyably painful, or, painfully enjoyable.

So yeah, masochist kink, i guess, compared to most other people?

To me the ‘oddest’ thing is that I’m apparently just a masochist, and not a sadist; somebody could be on their hands and knees, begging me to whip them or slap them, and I would not be able to do it, I’d actually just be purely angry that they were asking me to significantly hurt them.

Like, I never completed GTA V, because when I got to the torture scene, I nearly vomited and feinted… I just quit at that point.

You… probably just want a steady stream of water, to flush out the irritants.

Get a detachable, flexible showerhead.

… these are also useful for things beyond flushing out irritants.

Well, its possible to do an isekai story without also doing a harem story, but, given the birth rate crisis, I guess it makes sense.

I did not know it was a show either, yeah ok I’ll check it out!

Yeah I also find it strange that isekai is treated as like… any kind of a new thing.

Maybe some precise or specific mechanic of ‘magically/technologically transferred into an entirely new world’… is somehow some kind of distinct thing…

But like, humans have been telling stories where someone is moved into an entirely different realm, that plays by different rules, and those rules basically transform them directly… for quite a long time.

Alice in Wonderland?

Tron?

The Wizard of Oz?

Dante’s Inferno?

Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court?

Peter Pan?

… and that’s just ‘western’ stories.

Its like literally the archetype for an escapist fantasy story.

Not trying to knock the genre by any means, its wonderful to have tales that give you a kind of fundamental ‘the world could be different’ sort of idea… but it is silly when people act like its some kind of groundbreaking concept.

… Damn.

I had to look that up, I’d never even heard of that manga.

Also: WTF I didn’t even know CLAMP was that old?!

… Yeah, this is what I mean, horse girls are somehow able to consistently out-nerd me, and I do find this intimidating, lol.

Ok, I am not familiar with either ‘elder emo girls’ nor ‘tail girls’.

Elder emo girls does not make sense to me at all, because emo girls are essentially the exact opposite of horse girls.

Horse girls learn how to do things, many things, practical things, and be good at them.

Emo girls are angsty, and make bad poetry or art, then usually either phase out of that, or transition into rave/scene girls, develop serious drug problems, and then basically work in retail or customer service the rest of their lives, with few exceptions… maybe a few become tattoo artists or become actually halfway decent at some other kind of art.

Perhaps you are thinking of elder goth girls?

Not the same thing as emo, not even close.

Tail girls?

I… do you mean a furry, some kind of anthro/humanoid type person?

No, I’ve never known a single horse girl that became or also is/was a furry or puppy girl or anything like that, again they tend to be extremely practical and utilitarian, they tend to be fairly domineering, task/goal oriented.

They just also have eccentric hobbies/interests, in my estimation due to the relative social isolation of either literally living away from a lot of other people, on a farm or ranch, or at least spending so much time at a farm or ranch that they’re not as enmeshed in ‘normal’ society.

They do not need to fantasize an alternate identity as an animal, because so much of their lives involve very real and often traumatic experiences with animals, so they understand them in a much more grounded and realistic way.

Like, a horse girl walking past a furry at a convention is likely to make a passive aggressive ‘joke’ about having some extra dewormer, if the furry needs it.

They’re cocky, self-confident, haughty… better than you, lol.

… I didn’y wanna go there, but … yeah.

Goddamn, Enumclaw… goddamn.

Oh jesus christ…

That’s genuinely awful.

Ok, now that I’ve worked through that mental image…

Ahem.

"In the arms of an angel…"

I’m so sorry.

I was a corpo once.

Forunately, I was unsuccesful at murdering my conscience, so I wasn’t a corpo for very long.

“Is it hard to breathe?”

“What’s the best ski lodge?”

“Do you know any good neighborhoods? I’m looking to work from home.”

As a Seattle native, I feel I must apologize on behalf of all the clueless MicroSlopers and Amazonians you’ve had to endure.

Yeah, they are different things.

A horse girl, in my understanding of the phrase, isn’t merely conceptual obsession… its actually being a stablehand, a rider, a trainer, a groomer, something like that; actually being around horses for significant amounts of time.

I guess this is a dated reference at this point but Beth from Rick and Morty is a horse girl, a girl who really likes to play with pony toys is not.

Though, horse girls … do tend to be somewhere between eccentric to bonkers, I would not put it past them to have some … fair amount of kink.

That being said, if you can actually ride a horse, you’ve seen a horse cock, and you know that’ll fucking kill you.

Its kinda similar to how people who actually are familiar with guns, and are not total idiots, will cringe at people who know nothing about guns, making all kinds of gun jokes and ‘deductions’ that actually make no sense.

I feel like you could describe the psyche of horses with the sentiment in the phrase:

“But for the grace of God, go I.”

Just a bunch of beautiful, dumb bastards who are uncommonly good at ‘run away really fast’.

Doesn’t matter what direction they’re running in, they’ll get somewhere, though.

Maybe even in one piece!

Unless I am mistaken, a fair number of studies have determined that that is insufficient as a method/means to explain the capabilities that they routinely display.

Like one theory is that they somehow functionally have a literal metalic compass in their brain, or potentially … basically an ability to sense geomagnetic subtleties and anomalies, and use those as waypoints and guidelines, but… again I might be out of date here, but afaik, nobody has yet proposed a non problematic or well verified hypothesis.

Clearly ya’ll have not known any horse girls.

This is extremely normal for them.

I’d be willing to bet there are nearly 0 horse girls who are not also absolute super fans of some kind of cartoon media / video game.

I dated a horse girl back in the mid to late 00’s.

She was studying Japanese at Uni, and I am 90% sure she was writing fan subs for Death Note, as it was coming out.

Oh and she also was just fully fabricating her own cosplays, like multiple a year, at the kind of quality level you’d see people making businesses out of on etsy, a decade later.

… We did not end up working out, but she’s since gone on to literally cross all of Mongolia, on horseback.

Do not fuck with nor underestimate horse girls.

Hey there yah go haha, maybe for if he gets a new bro or sis at some point =P
