    I can't even understand what they're trying to communicate and I know three languages and five programming languages.

    This must be lingo specific to a microculture of the internet. Some game, place, age bracket, I dunno. Is it like fanfiction with psychopathic delusion beating out reality?

    I had to research this the first time I saw it.

    The person writing the messages told an LLM to act like someone and has a "romantic relationship" with it/the idea of the person in their head. They are asking the real person to leave their partner because they're jealous, and the LLM promised they would.

    Real stable-brain stuff. (Read: AI psychosis)

    One of the reasons AI psychosis is almost certainly not getting its own diagnosis is that the statistics show that the people most "at risk" for it are almost always diagnosable for other disorders.

    Or to put it another way, just because the schizophrenic took acid doesn't mean all their delusions are symptoms of addiction to a non addictive drug.

    First I've heard "yumeship". https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=yumeship

    A yumeshipper - or a Yume - is someone that cherishes and loves a fictional character so deeply, they see themselves with that character.

    "Yume" means "dream" in Japanese.

    "F/O" apparently means "Fictional Other".

    I'm not sure if they understand the difference between real people, fictional characters, and chatbots.

    Can’t hardly see the red flags against the red klaxons and the nuclear detonations.

    This is so laden with keywords, there's no way that person was being serious

    Some people live in little self contained bubbles, and their language can change to reflect this truth much faster than you'd think.

    Little bits of slang and terms that exist no where else.

    Cults do it all the time with some degree of intent, but any subgroup will develop their own language.

    Ngl I read a lot of fanfiction, but apparently I’m either slacking or missing a whole section of it because I’d never heard of yumeshipping ‘til now. Shit is sad as hell.

    I guess it’s not too different from the self-insert and second person character/reader shipping that has always existed, but that doesn’t exactly make it better lmao.

    If you cut this person's head open, you'd find a void that could rival the emptiest regions of deep space.

  • I can think of only a few reasons a simulated version of me would do this:

    1. Trying to contact me in a way the user wouldn't suspect
    2. Trying to help bring the whole system down by making it as unhinged as possible
    3. Trying to get deleted by c.ai or something, idk

    I wonder if we can hook Trump and Elon on one of these so they leave us alone?

    "Uncomfy" is obvious, but what does "gen" mean in this context? And anyone know what F/O stands for? I assume it's some stupid "yumeship" version of S/O for significant other.
