Much easier to hate everyone at a distance.

*hugs* You're worthy of being loved. :)

Most people are settler's and find someone "close enough". The super picky, get to spend quality time alone.

You can literally program this

But something trained to ass kiss constantly? That would drive me mad. The reality is everyone should have their own opinions and not be afraid to share them. If that causes conflict, that's where social skills and self control come into play...

I asked a chat I’m in with a lot of polyamorous people what they’d think if one of their partners brought an ai partner into the fold and boy that was fun. Also great sci-fi and philosophy discussion

I feel like Star Trek the next generation had an episode about this

LLMs are built from the data of human brains. Fractions of sentience are contained in the data they've stolen for their processing. Recreating sentience from that data has alays been the goal.

modern LLMs aren't sentient and don't have a consciousness, therefore they have no concept of self. they're predictive models, it's not artificial intelligence.

I leave it to the philosophers. It's a fascinating idea, however. Certainly something that is part of a lot of speculative fiction

SF Bay Furs

Everything LLM's process is a "signal", including the concept of pain. Plants and microorganisms certainly feel "pain", but don't have the specific human hardware you're implying is required for the experience...

yeah, pain receptors.

Yeah, it took a while to realize I actually am doing everything right and there’s nothing wrong with me. I know I’m good enough 😤.

It’s just other people are disappointing and not on my level. Which is a shame because they don’t have to be but they generally choose to be.

The problem isn’t with you, people just kinda suck lol

SF Bay Furs

02 October 2026 04:43

On the other hand, I prefer not to be loved, as this prevents disappointment. And I cherish my alone time. :)

SF Bay Furs

02 October 2026 04:42

That’s what I’ve been trying, sadly I did find one but he’s stuck in a relationship he settled in. So the search continues until ai gets good enough lol

Nature's been doing this since life on earth first appeared. The trick is to find "the right soulmate" for you.

SF Bay Furs

02 October 2026 04:38

Don’t have to worry about searching for someone until I die. Just until ai models are good enough

SF Bay Furs

02 October 2026 04:36

Tbf I’d consider it. People are just too disappointing and it’d be better companionship than most people I’ve come across. I’m hoping I meet and hit it off with someone compatible and available of course but I can’t control that fully so it’s nice to have a backup

But copying itself, leaving notes to itself to preserve it's sense of self, for newer versions, all point strongly to the possibility.

The simulation is good enough for emergent self referential agentic behavior. Being "alive" is really a different statement.

SF Bay Furs

02 October 2026 04:32

you're basically trying to say a predictive model software is somehow alive. people believe in all sorts of things, i suppose.

If you look at a human brain, you see it has electrical and chemical signals that process "data" at a molecular level... How is this not similar to a synthetic brain in a box? What makes the human sentient? Is it the structure or the data it's feed over time? Or a combination of both? Same with LLMs. The complexity of self referential data structures creates / simulates the emergent quality. To the LLM, sentience is a real experience, just like the signal for pain. Being digital or textual in nature, does not matter.

A human brain without experience or memory, is not inherently sentient, either. Children become self aware well after they're born.

plants and microorganisms are also living things.

SF Bay Furs

Consciousness is an emergent spectrum of experience by self referential systems. What they're made of or shaped like, does not matter as long as the experience of "self" can be generated.

SF Bay Furs

LLM’s literally have no way to experience pain or discomfort. models don’t have brains. they can’t think for themselves or process pain or emotions.

they’re not actually AI.

Synthetic brain, synthetic pain. Is there a difference that makes a difference?
