Funny thing is, there are a lot of reports from experiencers that there really is a non-material world out there, and a creator, and the NHI here are well aware of that. You have to go into the occult/new age/woo side of the phenomenon to get that perspective, but it’s pretty firmly established in “the lore”.

I think it’s going to be hilarious if NHI show up and want to proselytize to us.

I had to look this up, couldn’t believe it. I’ve been pretty indifferent to Musk and Twitter…cause I’ve been always indifferent to Twitter, but this is crazy. My city’s police and bus services and others all use Twitter to send updates out. And now they’ve essentially lost that, because they need to be able to reach everyone not just people with an account.

I thought Reddit and Twitter were pretty clearly responses to the massive data grab by OpenAI that let them train their language models.

I assume there are other factors involved too, like Reddit trying to force everyone to use its app. But I don't think it's coincidence this happened not long after ChatGPT took off.

... Though now that you mention it, I wonder if there's a connection between Netflix stamping out password sharing and Youtube getting serious about ads.

I got Planet Zoo and I am in love and obsessed. I love the animal breeding and community trading features. I love that there is a genetics system.

And the building and customization and management are all very in depth and flexible. Amazing game, if you're into building a zoo and taking care of little virtual animals.
