I am seeing a wave of denial from ai fanatics. Not those who built ai systems but those who think ai is god.

Weirdly neither do they know how ai "thinks" and assimilates data or why its able to run the way it does.

The lack of critical thinking shows when I say the hype will correct itself and they instantly interpret it as "ai will disappear."

This is why I say ai was never the villain, the people exploiting it are. Because they turn vulnerable folks into fanatics.

Ai is not all seeing, all knowing, all consuming. It's a mimicking system with no brain, nervous systems, or suffering. Use it where its right not where you want to be lazy.

I listen to smosh often, but today was special. This story they covered has a religious "karen" mom hellbent on controlling her son who goes no contact. His wife dresses up as a witch for Halloween and they post on their socials.

In BPD fashion, his mom screenshots it and creates a smear campaign saying the daughter in law is a witch and has ruined her son...the dad joins in too like a typical enabler.

The son goes no contact after that. Now this is bread and butter for us BUT the way the entire cast reacted to this and the points they put forth really made my brain understand how deep, real, and painful it all is.

How horrible these too small to explain but to painful things are. And why a mother who loves you would never do that. Never felt that validated, even with my therapist. Go listen if you want, maybe it will help.

Don't have any expectations though.

Edad: reminder that our daughter leaves by plane 8 days from today. I am going with her for a few days to support her.

Bpd mom: why? Let her go alone, dont support her. She can do it herself since she made the decision herself.

WILD words coming from the same mouth that didn't allow me to move out to a place 10 mins from her. I AM 25. Now suddenly that "concern and love" is out the window.

They had a long drawn fight. She, of course blamed it on dad's side of the family (always the scapegoat). Dad left and stayed at my place overnight, told my brother (29 who lives with them) the same.

Today my brother came to my place and started YELLING to a person on the phone so loud my heart started beating out of my chest.

It was of course targeted at me, how I took too long to open the door and small shit in the loudest volume possible. I locked myself in the bathroom till he left. I expected all of these blowups to happen as my relocation date came close. Still a horror to experience IRL.

P.s. - "my place" is our other home where only I stay. They didn't allow me to rent out my own place. This is why I am moving cross country to live alone under the guise of education.
