This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It also would’ve been cool if there had been the slightest concern for ethics prior to its rollout. It’s potentially a powerful tool for disinformation, without any ability to verify whether or not the information it takes in or puts out is factual.
The fact modern LLMs weren’t given any sort of fact-checking abilities is one of the things that scares me the most about their popularity. Then they were dropped on us amidst an election where a perpetually-lying fascist was on the ballot? It may sound all “conspiracy theorist,” but I don’t believe that timing was coincidental.
We could’ve had something great if we had a society that valued planning for the future and doing the right thing. Such values could have been incorporated into the design of this technology from the get-go. But when business-people run the show, ethics are among the first things thrown out the window.
