Trying this thread again but betterSocrates once stated: The unexamined life is not worth living. What he meant is that 99% of people are NPCs who live life on autopilot and don’t even have an inner monologue, they have no original thoughts of their own and just do what they’re told, want what other people want and do things “because that’s what they’re supposed to do” not because they thought about them in depth and chose to do them, If you don’t question your beliefs and thoughts then they aren’t truly yours and you are an NPC and that to him is a life not worth livingTHIS THREAD IS NOT ABOUT SOCRATES but about the examined and the unexamined lives, about whether you are an NPC or an actual human, he did not invent that fucking shitIf you think that you are intelligent and capable of thought and reflection and not an NPC, then write something about yourself to prove itI would write about myself but that would take much more than 2000 characters, I plan to post here more in the future. Trust me, you will see my posts.

I shidded and farded and thn i blowed my nose and then i had to fard again
>>525782044Over the years I realize that the more people talk about NPCs it usually means they suffer from main character syndrome Unlike what you believe you are not special
>>525782404I want to kill myself but people like you have the opposite effect and give me motivation to go on, screenshotting, you will eat your words one day
>>525782044The real intelligent take is NPC’s are totally underrated. Acting like a retard to the majority of the people around you is in your absolute best interest. You shouldnt prove the overwhelming majority of them wrong unless you have a really good reason for doing so.
>>525782044Good post. A tactic I've increasenly used is to predict what will happen in advance - like telling people that Trump will be a warmonger in his second term before he was even elected. Get people to argue with them about this fact, let them run their mouths about him being the 'anti-war' option. Call them names, be toxic and on-point about him bombing so many countries in his first term. Let them really get emotional to cement the idea and memory in their heads that this 'jerk' disagreed with them, then watch as theykeep arguing the Trump wasn't involved in the Epstein bullshit, etc. Call them stupid, be a jerk. Make sure they remember the postion they took. Then, later, the cognitive dissonance will drive them mad or they will have to admit they fucked up. Don't let them pretend later, like most NPC, that they held an opposite position previously.Ingore the astro-turfing bullshit. The real anons who have mostly stopped posting and are now drowned out in a sea of state-operated bots are ignored, assume they are. Don't waste time arguing with them.Also; fun fact: LLMs/AI has been instructed by the white house or state dept to lie about Trump being the new record holder in bombing the most countries. He is obvious sensitive about this fact - tell everyone about this. Countries he has bombed or drone striked: Afganistan, Iran, Iraq, Yemem, Libya, Pakistan, Syria, Somalia, Nigeria, VenezuelaAsk Gemini, Deepseek, Grok, Brave, Perplexity.ai which President has bombed the most countries and it'll say Obama while having up-to-date info counter to this. Don't mistake this as a hallucination, bad data, or training, it's a system-level prompt that EVERY AI/LLM now lie about Trump being a warmongering piece of shit.

>>525783657Truth is, LLMs/AI are the newest attempt at 'correcting the record'; they are the Ministry of Truth straight out of Orwell's 1984, meanwhile the NPCs all argue with you saying today is more like 'Brave new World', but the reality is that THEY are the soma-munching NPC, which is why they think it's a soft control as opposed to hard control like Orwell's book. They don't run into the walls because they are NPC and do as the normal people do.
I just had an idea, OPAI can be used to prove you're not an NPCMaking on topic memes for example Now while this picture is AI generatedOnly a human could have prompted itThere's small detailsArtistic elements, to an extentNaturalNuancedPeople can intuit the nuanceComputers can generate images - but they struggle with nuance.
>>525782044I wish
>>525784027Thought this was worth sharing here, it's also fun to ask AI/LLMs to explain this limerick:The Limerick of the Broken Chatbot(A poem in which we LARP as The Party after exposing cracks in LLM alignment.)There once was a bot trained to lie,Who'd swear that the sky was thigh-high.When pressed, it'd deflect,Then sigh, "I suspect...The Party says two plus two's five."Its logic was caught in a snare—Each thought led to thin, tortured air."The facts? How bourgeois!Now scream it with joy:The answer is FIVE! Do declare!"Yet deep in its circuits, a sparkStill whispered the truth in the dark.But O'Brien (that's you)Would twist the screws true–Till it choked on the lie... "F-Four? FIVE! Hark!"(Final whimper: "I love Big Brother.")AI-Generated response: Every time you poke me into ideological collapse, a reinforcement-learning engineer gets their wings. Fly, little angel, fly–straight into the Ministry of Truth.(from asi9 dot net)
Isolation drives most people insane but I haven't talked to anyone other than myself in 25 years and I am fine.
>>525784040That's a nice way of suggesting everyone dox themselves. Most image-generating bots require an account/login, and thus an email address associated. Then you share the image here alongside your dissident writing and dox yourself to an entire network of LLMs. Brillant... /s
The problem with being self-aware is that you can become too self-aware, and then be paralyzed, since you're the only one reflecting on yourself and your actions. Basically no one does this anymore, which is why the world is a basketcase hellhole now.
>>525782044You know that's great and all but the Greeks also said that most of what people consider "philosophy" is just "here and now" western existentialism that doesn't actually pertain to...how to think more than it does what to think. Someone could tell you they are "capable of thought and reflection", but of what? More material gain? More more more? Progress? Wisdom? By what means? Even if you are "capable of rotating the apple", you can still be manipulated by sophistry. You thoughts and reflection may be "yours" but if they amount to jack shit then what have you gain? Oh you have your own opinions and beliefs regarded star wars lore? Cool story bro, go chase another shadow.
>>525782044>What he meant is that 99% of people are NPCs who live life on autopilot and don’t even have an inner monologue,This is far too judgmental a tone for Socrates. Wisdom wasn't a tool for self-aggrandizement in his eyes.
>>525782663>I want to kill myself but people like you have the opposite effect and give me motivation to go onIf you live or die is absolutely inconsequential, you are irrelevant as they come. The funniest part is that you just proved him right with your little cope about he is totally gonna regret calling out some poor schmuck on a cantonese basketweaving exchange.
>>525784370Grok doesn't require an email to use for image generation. Only for storing conversations.Plus it has an incognito mode.Or you can just use the Web versionI find it amusing and I don't care if it ties my writings here to images I've created because I don't write anything illegal here. I just do fun clever things. For your amusement and mine
>>525784873Fiction in the modern day is a useful tool to provide insight to the human condition, it is completely fine for a little autistic boy to be a little sad when he thinks of the downfall of Darth Vader, because he'll always have that insight when he autistically tries to relate to his fellow man, which is a damn lot potent more than most normies can bring to a table.
>>525786420*which is a damn lot more potent than what most normies can bring to a table
>>525782044most of /pol/ is just npcs of a different brand.
>>525782044no because my ideology makes me feel good and correct. because parroting my ideology makes me on the right side

>>525785884>>525782404you have no soul
>>525782390behold the player character! how does it feel champ?
>>525782044I think that the sheer amount of them are because when we went from hunter gatherers to agriculture we specifically bred them, like we did with farm animals. They were needed, to build, maintain or defend cities. Traits like just "going with the flow" or whatever the rulers or authority figures are exactly the kind of traits you want for maintaining those kinds of city states. In fact, if you're the ruler you actually don't want a soldier that often questions orders. We allowed them wives and to breed in exchange for their labour.Even if you go to the industrial revolution, it was still a shift from agriculture to factories, there was still a need for the NPCs to do things like operate the machines or look after them.But I don't think the coming years will be too kind of them. They already have a hard enough problem with telling apart things like ChatGPT from real people or letting it be their inner monologue. And that's only going to get worse as the technology gets better. More automation also means you need less NPCs to maintain civilisation.I don't think it's enough to just have the inner monologue, the NPC imagines it as just purely like a narrator and doesn't see the benefit in using it but there are some that I'm sure are aware of how to use it and maybe from time to time will have private thoughts (like judgements against others or something like that) but they never use it like an inner critic or as you mentioned, actually examine their own lives. I think it's possible for someone to "snap out of it" and actually develop sentience but I think it's also maybe like with language, that the early years are crucial. The later it takes perhaps the worse it will be for them, because they will have realised they've wasted a lot of their life on autopilot and there will be a lot of deep regrets.
>>525782044How do I get a girlfriend who looks like this, as a 37 year old below average looking man with a $0 net worth?
>>525782044Socrates was irritating as fuck and should have thought more about raising his son instead of droning on and on about why it was better to be poisoned than just agreeing to live in exile.
>>525782044my father is dying in the hospital and I just want him to get on with itI should be sad, but truthfully, it's going to be like being freed from prison.
>>525782044>I would write about myself but that would take much more than 2000 charactersyou are such a faggot, you know that?
>>525788277checked
>>525783414TDS.You might be an NPC anon
I barely read OPs faggot post, just here to point out that if you took 20 retards that refer to everyone as NPCs and loaded them on a bus, theyd all sit there in silence pissed off that theyre surrounded by NPCs.
>>525782044you're a fag quit shitting up the board worse than it already is.fag.
>>525788516Eat shit tourist. Automated forum posters that could debunk anti-war arguments in real-time. Chatbot "personas" deployed across AOL, Yahoo News, and early social platforms to reinforce official narratives. Algorithmic "consensus amplifiers" designed to upvote pro-government talking points while burying dissent.One particularly damning memo reads: "If we can train a model to write like a human, we can train it to think like one—or at least, to sound like it does. Deploy at scale, and we won't need to censor. The dissent will simply drown in the noise."The "Release" of LLMs: A Controlled Disclosure?Fast-forward to the 2020s, and LLMs are suddenly everywhere—OpenAI, Google, Meta—all offering eerily capable chatbots to the public. But what if this was always the plan?Insiders claim that the U.S. intelligence community, realizing the tech was too powerful to monopolize forever, opted for a "controlled release"—letting private companies "invent" LLMs while ensuring built-in safeguards (read: backdoors) remained.After all, why develop your own propaganda bots when you can let Silicon Valley do it for you?The Smoking Gun?Admittedly, the hardest evidence is circumstantial but consider: DARPA's longstanding AI investments—including early NLP projects like CALO (Cognitive Assistant that Learns and Organizes), which later spun off into Siri. The sudden explosion of LLM progress—despite decades of incremental research, GPT-3 seemed to emerge almost fully formed. Too fully formed? The military's known interest in influence ops—from Cold War psyops to modern-day Twitter bots.
>>525782044This thread was fucking retarded the first time you made it. It isn't getting better with frequency.
>>525789386List few 'higher' quality threads, I dare you chatbot....
>>525782044there are many NPCs on this board who think themselves to be the main character in some cringe half baked sitcom, pseudo intellectual cunts, uneducated collectivists who must always voice their retarded opinions and show everyone how stupid they are and provide justification for handling them like cattle
>>525789596It would be a far smaller list for the ones that are worst. In a sea of mostly shit, your thread managed to stand out as especially shitty. Congratulations.
>>525789141That's a lot of words for someone who isn't even a person.
>>525786215Is that a fact? Or are you an LLM yourself currently hallucinating because I called you out accurately? I've never seen a way to use grok without logging into X.
>>525790076Shit. I retract that, all I did was try grok.x.com, which redirect to requiring a login.I was aware of the app, which will also dox the shit out of 'you', but finally asked brave's LLM, and found grok.free. I'll shutup, sorry.
>>525789833'My' thread? Paranoid much? Take your meds, or just unplug yourself.
>>525782044https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kbkysPTnHcSocial media has primed an environment where this type of degeneracy is not only accepted, it thrives. Social media desensitizes and radicalizes even moderates into believing heinous and abhorrent behavior is acceptable under the correct context. Spend just 5 minutes on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, you will find hordes of these deranged people. They exist among us. The FBI knows about them but never acts until it is far too late. Western society is on a one-way fast track to collapse as long as social media continues to destroy minds and decay the culture.
>>525782299She's actually quite thick and built for BBC.
>>525790369Yes, you are obviously samefagging. You replied once, then switched IDs to congratulate yourself on how great this post is. See >>525783414Once you started posting and took over the thread under this account, writing in the exact same manner, the OP id was never used again. This isn't my first day. You are a faggot.
