Are your friends turning into insufferable AI slop? Here’s how to catch them before they fall. Do you have a friend that you hardly recognise anymore? Maybe they just speak slightly differently or have to check their phones before ever thinking. Sometimes it's less subtle. Maybe you look at them...

Oh wow! That is good to know haha (counter/counter/counter culture I guess) - do you have rules to spot them or is it just they look so out of place its obvious to anyone who moderates?

Maybe they just speak slightly differently or have to check their phones before ever thinking. Sometimes it's less subtle. Maybe you look at them and think: if I had just met this generic weirdo in a smoking area we really wouldn't be friends.
Don’t panic, but it sounds like they may have been oneshotted by AI.
Great, what does that even mean?
Oneshotting existed far before AI. The term, originally gamer slang for being killed by a single blow, has recently become associated with the process of people being irrevocably changed... (read 1630 more words →)
Hey! Thanks for the comment. I actually think it will be a net positive, despite some setbacks (financial crises of sorts) along the way.

But as is human nature and greed to overreach in the short term, people always tend to blow up with the first iterations of these things (and I think the same will be true here), but good in the long term.
I think society should be embracing these things because they lead to growth (eventually). But as more and more people are becoming part of the investor landscape (through 'passive' flows, etc.), they should try to understand as much of this new confusing paradigm as possible to take advantage and make sure they are not being taken advantage of!

If you are an investor, builder, or anyone with money, this is somewhere you will want to get up to speed because…
TLDR Financial engineering is only going to get crazier (especially with AI and crypto), and if you don't understand it, you will get left behind.

Looking for some constructive criticism as to why this post got so many downvotes? Currently wondering if this is a good contra signal that many of the poor souls that read my post are oneshotted and don't want to hear it or (much more likely) it just wasn't a very good post for other reasons!
