Is he saying that AI mentally crippled him? Because people have been figuring this out for millennia.

I'm pretty sure that he's saying that ChatGPT is the cure for having no idea how humans work.

Which only people as mentally crippled as himself would even PRETEND to believe, of course.

It's literally off the rails crazy. Has been ever since 9-11 opened the rift that flung is into this wild ass timeline.

I always figured it was the LHC destroying the entire planet, shifting our reality to a slightly less likely reality over and over via quantum immortality.

But it turns out that a national trauma (or series of them) really fucks a people up.

  • Russia got fucked by the Soviet collapse
  • US by 9/11
  • UK by 7/7
  • France by Charlie Hebdo
  • Japan’s Tsunami
  • same for Indonesia before
  • Then Covid did in China and then the rest of the world
