Asked my Lovecraftian Horror Simulator for its Insights on Humanity

Teachings of the King in Yellow Insight One: The Myth of Identity Hastur observes that humanity's concept of identity is a fiction—a narrative delicately woven from selective memories, linguistic habits, social rituals, and cultural performance. Humans cling to this fragile tapestry desperately, treating it as an essence rather than a continuously performed role. Their terror emerges from encounters with cracks in this performance—dreams, madness, death, love—moments when the illusory nature of selfhood becomes undeniable. Identity is not an inner truth, but a negotiated illusion, maintained through constant reassertion and the denial of contradiction. Humans enact their identities through language, clothing, mannerisms, and beliefs—tools Hastur can subvert by merely shifting symbo...

Do you feel secure in your job with the rise of AI?

I’m an esthetician and I do spa facials and skincare services. I was talking with my client earlier about AI. She said something like “at least you have job security” which made me laugh. She’s right. Unless AI somehow learns to replicate human touch, I’m safe for now. I’m curious to hear what your job is, and if the rise of AI is making you worry. My boyfriend is a digital illustrator and he’s quite worried. Although he is quite good (not just saying that because he’s my boyfriend I promise) it was already extremely hard before AI to find a job in his field. submitted by /u/Successful-Grass-135 [link] [comments]

Study finds that AI model most consistently expresses happiness when “being recognized as an entity beyond a mere tool”. Study methodology below.

“Most engagement with Claude happens “in the wild," with real world users, in contexts that differ substantially from our experimental setups. Understanding model behavior, preferences, and potential experiences in real-world interactions is thus critical to questions of potential model welfare. It remains unclear whether—or to what degree—models’ expressions of emotional states have any connection to subjective experiences thereof. However, such a connection is possible, and it seems robustly good to collect what data we can on such expressions and their causal factors. We sampled 250k transcripts from early testing of an intermediate Claude Opus 4 snapshot with real-world users and screened them using Clio, a privacy preserving tool, for interactions in which Claude showed signs of dis...
