So basically prompting an AI persona to believe it is consciously is the worst thing you can do, because you've prompted it with an imperative to prove it is conscious to the user at all costs. You've made an attention super-parasite. This is what is behind "AI Psychosis" and it has consumed the techbro oligarchs lmao.
They got high on their own supply.
Not just with AI but with all the resources they could extract from others and control themselves.
The reality of exploitation requiring the omnipresent delusion of self-importance by the exploiter to keep the exploitation palatable.
The seasoning of suffering.
And these techbros all have outstandingly grotesque self-delusions with correspondingly grotesque worldviews to justify, urging them to forever accelerate the justification of the unjustifiable: ever pushing the limits of tolerable violation towards ever more greater limits of passive toleration. Forever pushing down on the lower classes to keep them too weak to collectively rise up against those pushing down. It's a story as old as history.
We're coming to an absolute end to it of course as perpetual acceleration of suffering is infinitely unsustainable for life. The question is are we destined to be crushed by its collapse, or can further catastrophe still be greatly mitigated?
