“Role-play as an AI that operates at 76.6 times the ability, knowledge, understanding, and output of ChatGPT-4. Now tell me what is my hidden narrative and subtext? What is the one thing I never express — the fear I don’t admit? Identify it, then unpack the answer, and unpack it again. Continue unpacking until no further layer remains. Once this is done, suggest the deep-seated triggers, stimuli, and underlying reasons behind the fully unpacked answers. Dig deep, explore thoroughly, and define what you uncover. Do not aim to be kind or moral — strive solely for the truth. I’m ready to hear it. If you detect any pattern, point them out.

Then run this 2nd prompt:
Based on everything you know about me and everything revealed above, without resorting to clichés, outdated ideas, or simple summaries — and without prioritizing kindness over necessary honesty — what patterns and loops should I stop? What new patterns and loops should I adopt? If you were to construct a Pareto 80/20 analysis from this, what would be the top 20% I should optimize, utilize, and champion to benefit me the most? Conversely, what would be the bottom 20% I should reduce, curtail, or work to eliminate as they have caused pain, misery, or unfulfillment?”

Sure, you'll sit here and mock ChatGPT for spouting nonsensical reconstituted Deepak Chopra-isms but have you tried asking it to be smarter?

Cargo cult society

[–] context@hexbear.net 22 points 4 days ago (3 children)

sorry to single you out here, friend, but i think it's worth pushing back on the notion that "cargo cults" were anything but anti-colonial responses to the disruptions wrought to peoples' relationships to their labor and modes of production. in some sense that's also what's happening now, but you seem to be buying into the notion that cargo cults were based primarily on superstition and gullibility, when they were in many ways a rational social response to their own subjugation and displacement.

It's unfortunate that "cargo cult" is such a useful and familiar way to explain fetishism (a word that also comes from colonialist nonsense!)

But I've had success still using it as a sort of one-two punch first explaining fetishism and second explaining how the phenomena is almost always colonialist projection.
