believing claude actually thinks has the same energy as believing that ouija boards can actually contact the dead

@ariadne Wanted: a GUI for Claude that looks like a Ouija board.

[drsbaitso@infosec.exchange]

@ariadne Okay, but we can all agree the magic 8-ball is always correct when it says "Outlook not so good".

[darby3@zirk.us]

@ariadne okay what if a sam altman branded ouija board but all the letters are those creepy pasta ai type symbols

[theorangetheme@en.osm.town]

@ariadne Grandma: "Y-O-U-R-E-R-I-G-H-T..."

[lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me]

@ariadne and allows to not just contact deceased family/friends but any sort of people

[ariadne@social.treehouse.systems]

@drsbaitso outlook indeed is not good

[brunomiguel@masto.pt]

@ariadne In European Portuguese, it's common to say "the computer is thinking" when it's processing something and taking a while to complete the task. Given this, I wouldn't be surprised to start hearing people here say dumb stuff like that.

[joshuaelliott@mastodon.social]

@ariadne Yup. Adding "Ouija: ELIZA Edition" to the stack of names now.

[astareth@mas.to]

@ariadne Locally produced wooden Ouija boards are environmentally positive and can't leak your secrets (or can it?)

@ariadne

Seriously, the number of devs I've encountered who subscribe to 'magical' thinking is _way_ higher than I ever expected.

I've had to adjust _a lot_ of assumptions about the run-of-the-mill developer.

[prahou@merveilles.town]

@ariadne Ouija boards work.

[mirabilos@toot.mirbsd.org]

@ariadne nah, the latter is more plausible

[bpl@snac.bsd.cafe]

What about divination from Yijing or /dev/urandom?

This one is also nice - https://cyberdeck.caffeine.computer/ but contains Brenden Aich

[prahou@merveilles.town]

@bpl @ariadne yeah! it's by the @caffeine !

[paculino@tech.lgbt]

@drsbaitso @ariadne because how often does anyone ask a magic 8 ball when confidently optimistic?

[spacelifeform@infosec.exchange]

@ariadne

I suspect it is possible if the victim is struck with the board with sufficient force at the right angle.

[moah@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@fuzzychef @ariadne kill it first then use a ouijja board to contact it
