[FRIAM] a variety of uses

[Marcus Daniels]

On one hand there seems to be a latent hypothesis that culture built around many independent agents has some good properties -- pluralism.  On the other, there's the myopia problem.  It seems to me a larger or even universal agent like a massive LLM addresses that?

While we were chatting with our "friends", others are putting them to better use:

Reifying our myopic perspectives:

And, of course, taking misogyny to new heights:

The AI Pelkey is the funniest of the bunch. Yeah, of course a road rager believes in forgiveness, namely the ability of *other* people to forgive him for his toxic masculinity. What a prank his sister pulled. She's prolly an atheist. I suppose I need a clause in my last will & testament. ... or maybe the best way to preserve one's "image" after death is to start a corporation holding all the rights ... but that would die. I guess the best thing to do is become semi-famous and sell the rights to Disney or somesuch. At least the model they induce will look good, hopefully with bulging eyeballs for the "cute" factor.
