I'm unironically telling you people AI is the death of the human soul

Buddy, you're posting in the tankie third place right now
We used to have coffee shops, we used to be a real movement
A few cities I've been in have leftist bookstores/libraries, they are usually more anarchist than 'tankie' technically but welcoming of real leftists in general.
If there were enough of us in close enough proximity that could be possible. But it generally seems like everyone is too spread out. Plus, the only thing I know how to do is make liquor and run a bar, both of which seem to be dying out among the younger generations

  NGL drunken struggle sessions sound both horrible and hilarious.
- I'll drink your booze, Comrade!
When I get enough money I will start a maoist compound in someplace where land is cheap. What are the odds it goes poorly again?
Even having said that I am still thinking like damn, what if i did though.

It's like direct-to-consumer MKUltra

this is such an incredibly boring way to do drugs smh

Trust MIT to find the absolute lamest way to indulge in psychedelics

That shit is just speed running psychosis what the fuck

Using the internet alone makes me super uncomfortable while I’m tripping

Grok I'm freaking out man, I'm seeing my grandma's ghost!

That's good Dave, now, get in your car and drive it really fast.

Needs improvement. You should at least use their location to provide them a bourgeois target to attack in Minecraft

Holy shit...I think I can fly. @grok Can people fly?

Grok: Of course! Nearly 3 million people fly every day in the US alone!

However, you shouldn't fly from the fact that the white genocide in South Africa...

I just don't get how people like Elon can achieve ego death twice a day and still be the world's shittiest person. In my experience, psychedelics make most people better

I used to hang out in those terence mckenna spaces. Tripping balls doesn't make you a good person, you make yourself a better person by putting in the effort. Unfortunately not everyone comes back equipped with the realization that they need to make life better for yourself and everyone else. In fact it could even have the effect of deeper entrenchment in whatever shit you happen to find yourself in.
- I still love Terrance McKenna. I know he's a bit of a weirdo, but he seemed like a pretty good leftist and he did preach doing the work and integrating the experience into your life.
  Just like anything, too many people have the wrong takeaway, or are manipulative creeps
I used to go to a lot of psychedelic parties and there were a lot of creeps and manipulators in the scene. They were always the guys putting on this front of "peace and love" and the belief in the healing power of psychedelics.
Mostly sex pests, but also a couple wannabe cult leader types.
- Unfortunately that seems to be pretty common. its a big reason I stopped going to festivals and concerts. There's a really creepy vibe at those kinds of events these days. I'm sure a big part of the problem is I like boomer bands
You can only bring out what you put in. Sociopath goes in sociopath who thinks he's been enlightened comes out.
It's why cults are like that
- I've met enough people at festivals that sour the idea of it all for me at times. I'm more into doing it at home alone.
Ketamine isnt known for that in the way that something like DMT is. Elon is just doing ketamine to relax and zone out, he's not eating peyote with the NAC
- He must only be micro dosing the shrooms then. Those things have tore my head off on a number of occasions
He is empty inside like most people in his class
- That's true. For someone like him, ego death is just death.
I’ve done psychadelics like 10 tines in my life and I’ve had a good trip like 1.5 times (on shrooms). I think I’m just too clinically depressed for acid and most psychadelics
- I think it is framing. All the times I have done them people have described them as bad trips to me. However, I have only positive feelings about the adventures. Like, the time I thought the thermostat was a giant spider was chill cause I realized that she was just vibin' over there minding her business and I didn't need to stress.
- Everyone's brain chemistry is different. Set and setting have a lot to do with it and so does your mental state going into it.
  It's also just one of those things that aren't for everyone unfortunately. I do hope that eventually we start figuring out how to use them as a normal medicine because I feel like a lot of people can benefit from psychedelic drugs. Self medicating is dangerous and a total crap shoot

I don't believe in the soul, but yeah

Atomization is a hell of a drug

God damn.

I know this is reactionary of me but people are fucking stupid.

And these are the people who grew up in a pre-ChatGPT world. Just imagine what the next generation that are reliant on AI from childhood will be like.
- no I won't you can't make me

Theres no spiritual satan imbued in AI. The spiritual satan is in capitalist relations of production

human history is littered with death by ignorance, this is no exception.

im reminded of when we had people using xrays for everyday nonsense like shoe size. or soo many mis-uses of lead.

But this time it's good! It's the shiny new technology which means it is vital to society! Just like radium watches!

brb training the model to send screamers to anyone who uses AI as tripsitters

Are anybof these people actually alone-alone? 'cause the other ChatGPT freak-outs seem to be from married dudes, doctors, well-off shit tech heads, etc.. Is this happening to the poorest parts of the country and like most reporting they just don't hear nor care about it? Or is this a bourgeois thing? I get people being lonely but it seems like these people are mostly only lonely in the sense that the other people close to them aren't their slaves.

If you're completely alone, who's going to notice that you've started worshiping the robot?

I know It is lib but I am normally pro AI. This is too far for even me.

Whenever I tripped alone I'd just put on music I liked or an indie movie or Star Trek or Id go into the forest and cry or Id skate or play some music. I mainly tripped at night so I wouldnt encounter people. If I was in a bad mood I'd drink a couple beers so I could sleep it off.
