    No. And I’ll tell you why. We’ve now moved to [what a ttc is] as subject, because I think that’s important.

    I think “Torment nexus” can be used as a micdrop one liner sort of bullshit that people like to do all over the internet, and I do agree that it very likely will be used as that. But I can’t agree that it’s totally conversation ending in the same way that a ttc is. Because those are like “agree to disagree” or some other actual bullshit that ends thought or conversation.

    I think you may be conflating the two.

    So, deeming ai as a torment nexus is a real point, with reason, accusation, premises, etc. Like, it’s an actual argument, regardless to how inflammatory, right, or wrong it is.

    I don’t think there’s a singular bad vibe detector though. And even within a narrow type, there’s still multihlevels of threat perception, often paired with expectations vs one’s ability to handle it.

    Like, some people have experienced trauma or other bad shit with certain things and get a bad vibe from some stuff, but not other stuff or situations.

    And also imagine a manipulative person in a group of, let’s say, ten people. Let’s call them person M (for manipulator). Then there’s person A and person B. Person A sees person M doing shitty stuff, but person A is way smarter than person M, and knows they (person A), is gonna shut down person M’s behavior. And all of that just fits regular, casual conversation for person A, so they don’t see it as really that “shitty”, it’s just an attempt for sway or favor or whatever.

    But, person B sitting in the corner only has mild experience with person M’s actions and classifies it as a “bad vibe” and doesn’t know how to handle it very well, and so makes a mental note to poop in person M’s food later.

    Person A may be a 900 year old sith CEO and this just isn’t an issue, whereas person B may be a 6 month old drooling wet nosed monkey. Both can notice, but they perceive and handle the situations VERY differently.

  • What? No way. The “Torment Nexus”, while being bizarre and thought provoking, is still quite novel - and literally apt. The literal reason it has popped up in culture again is AI being the hot new shit that everybody wants to put in everything and is destroying everything and used for evil, etc etc

    I could see the Torment Nexus analogy becoming a TTC if its counter argument wasn’t well placed, but it is well placed.

    If anything, calling it a ttc feels like a pointless proxy war for the real discussion: whether or not widespread AI infatuation is building the Torment Nexus (overwhelmingly detrimental for the well-being of society) or not.
