Cory ODaniel @coryodaniel.com · 10/09/2026I'm trying to generate a like 13 second jump scare creepy pasta audio clip and Claude Fable keeps tripping its safeguards and ChatGPT generates just the weirdest shit. Its like a robot grandma demon and then it tries do a jump scare but its just a high hat. I havent laughed this hard in a minute. 100
Cory ODaniel @coryodaniel.com · 10/09/2026I'm building a catalog of the horrors I predict coming down the pipe when AI hits the masses.

Cory ODaniel @coryodaniel.com · 14/08/2026So I've reached that hyper optimized point where AI does all the things and I just kinda approve the output and route shit around and I just feel like a meatprocessor. Not like, working in a meat processing plant, I mean like, an organic based CPU. 100

Cory ODaniel @coryodaniel.com · 27/05/2026If an LLM is conscious, you have to accept that you can pause and fork consciousness. Flesh firmware is toast. Parfit’s fission cases stop being thought experiments and everything becomes … fucked? Locke’s continuity, cooked. Descartes before the horse. 211
