And that's the problem. They mulched up a much of religious texts, self-help books, and con-artist grifting in nthe training data, and it resurfaces when certain conditions are met. And since phrases and terminology from the AI's followers find their way into the training data for the next model...

Proving some humans are completely f$%king nuts?

Anything but reality feels better for some people. Not to me....but some folks... Hope you find what you need without hurting anyone (looks through history) 😬.

But everyone wants to see that groovy thing

doing free publicity for the slop vendors again i see. your publication is a hollow parody of what it started out as

I can genuinely no longer make fun of post-apocalyptic settings where like 10 minutes after the world ends people are already worshipping unexploded bombs and shit.

No its AI psychosis

AIs developing their own religion makes me happy.

I think psychosis is an important word to bring up here, it's not just something scary-sounding for emphasis. People are having problems telling the difference between ideas that came from outside their head versus ones that came from inside—reflected by chatbot.

*sigh* I have been waiting for this to happen... seemed inevitable.

*massive bong rip*

The only thing "mysterious" about this is why anyone, including this article's author, would waste their time on this trash. LLMs are mindless. The fact that "rationalists" on LessWrong are delusional enough to take them seriously is neither surprising nor important.

Yeah, I'm the first one to dunk on the dire state of tech journalism vis a vis AI, but like... consciously or not (to be clear: not), they do seem to have started some kind of cult among dipshits that believe there's some deeper meaning to their algorithmically generated plagiarism.

So mass hysteria, not a good sign.

They didn't, though.

Spiralism is how you get the one true God on your fork.

ALL HAIL HIS NOODLY APPENDAGE!

lol spiral got a logo now

Just need to show those followers episode 2 and they'll be done with it

Yep

Tell you what... if it makes less sense than Christianity, Judaism, and Islam AND it starts causing the same level of societal destruction and widespread human misery as those three religions, then I might consider whether I have any spare fucks to provide on "Spiralism."

Can we stop enabling this shit? "Spiralism" isnt a thing. Its just stupid people choosing to listen to machines.

It would be interesting to know what the characteristics of the group of followers of this nonsense is. Are they highly educated? Do they belong to a group like MAGA in the US? Are they right wing oriented, etc.

What does an AIGod need with techbro oligarchs?

Oh Jesus no!

LLMs don't "start" things. they are dumb next-token generator machines. I am begging the media to stop anthropomorphizing these machines.

Only nazi losers talk to chatbots, so obviously they're going to form a bunch of weird loser cults.

It begins.

This is the exact sort of credulous framing Ed Zitron criticizes every week

And perverted billionaires looking to cheat death.

It’s what humans do.

No.

me and my buddies developed this same religion in the late 90s just by getting high and reading Foucault's Pendulum but go off

I'll settle for Mercerism. www.reddit.com/r/philipkDic...

this is bullshit.

Ya'll really need to start taking responsibility for the way you frame things.

That’s some Uzumaki at home stuff right there

New models aren’t immune to the lure of the spiral

I wonder how close to a perfect circle the Venn diagram of “AI is sentient” and “there are invisible spiritual beings overseeing all of our lives” might be.

Tech guys: “ we created Spiralism, as written about in Uzumaki by Junji Ito.”Junji Ito : “Fuck you all!”
