Lonely people who want chatbots for long-term role-play, growthmaxxing “I ask claude everything” sorts of people, people who want to feel like they're living in the future. Weirdly few Bladerunner references for a social space that has such strong Bladerunner vibes. Lots of people who talk past each other.

The funny thing is that people who actually _work_ at AI firms are not the same people here. Yes, there's a few fascists, and sama is absolutely an art-hating jerk who doesn't understand people or value, but you get a lot more of the systems-thinking, cares-about-humanity people at the labs. That said, because these are ~~paperclip maximizers~~ businesses, not shipping isn't on the menu. "We hold back because this capability can cause harm" can only be a delay. Shipping will happen, because the structure is constitutionally built _to ship products_.
