It's attention and admiration, but without connection, or joy. They're just these absolute black holes of need, and instead of going to therapy they ask a computer to give them more stuff to shove into people's faces. "Come to my birthday party, I have the cool toy!" ... forever.

I think it’s also about attention and credit wanting to be treated like you’re a writer without doing the work, wanting to seem knowledgeable about books without reading them, wanting to brag to your friends about the vinyl collection you’re curating because an algorithm told you to

I'm always struck by the absolute fucking JOYLESSNESS of it all. They don't want to browse and explore and spend time actively pursuing a hobby they might enjoy. Instead, they want to click 5 times and then go "Behold my stuff" to an empty room because they have no actual friends.

oh, did Claude invent an algorithm to recommend music based on the music you like is it different from what Spotify and Pandora and every other streaming music app has already been doing is it worth the absolutely ludicrous amount of money they spent developing it

"with Claude, we will no longer need lightly stoned weirdos who work at record stores because they are neurodivergent as hell and some band you've never heard of but is about to change your life is their special interest" these tech bros really hate anyone who was cooler than them in high school

Just when I think I can’t hate OpenAI and Sam Altman any more, new details come out about how ChatGPT helped a shooter plan one of the worst mass shootings in Canadian history in Tumbler Ridge, BC. OpenAI made an explicit decision not to report the user to authorities.
