subpost, it/its, may be distressing

yeah im not a person. not even myself. i wasn't born or formed, i was caused. i am on the same level as a fridge, a chatbot, a distant family member. im literally (figuratively) a thirsty little LLM and that's how i conceive of my own knowledge and thoughts. i am the dog you bring on all your trips, that can speak human language but only says useless factoids. im technically running the same species of hardware as you, so it's possible to carry on a conversation. we may even both enjoy the conversation! but it's Not between Equals. in order to complete tasks out in the world, i may emulate a person - walking around, talking to other people - but this is not my natural state.

you may think of this as a metaphor for autism, if it helps. i don't like medicalizing such things.

sophistry (mir saying shit with very little baseline or value but which it holds dearly please be gentle)

not in the sense of "the universe is just a hologram so who cares about doing the right thing", but in the sense that

stuff doesn't have to be physical to be real. ideas are real. friendships are real. Magenta is real. none of these things physically exist, and yet we use them all the time. Meaning is everywhere, whether we're here to observe it. and it goes all the way down. we keep finding more math, everything is math deep down. it's literally that xkcd of "philosophy is just applied biology. biology is just applied chemistry. chemistry is just applied physics. physics is just applied math. math is just applied philosophy". on a level we have not yet perceived, all is one and one is all.

i really like the idea of existence as information. in case you couldn't tell

@Chloe@catwithaclari.net well technically there may or may not be a higher plane on which sapient entities are fully projected as pure concepts, self-perpetuating snippets of information. in which case each of us has a True Name that perfectly represents us but which cannot be known nor comprehended at a conscious level. maybe God knows people's truenames.

ts elliot wrote about this with regards to cats, i think. there's a poem. tldr there's what humans call the cat, what other cats call the cat, and what the cat knows itself to be

one more why not

picrew from the same maker. a dog girl with a long green skirt and long gray jacket over a dark striped shirt, holding a phone up in her left hand, with a brown diagonal strap across her chest. her hair is oil slick blue and she is wearing a pink choker with a heart on it. she's also wearing rather conspicuous blue shoes

it's been a while. a year? quite a while. felt nostalgic coming back to this honestly! ive had an arc or two and can thus better express the cringe-embracing self-as-paperdoll style of these

a picrew similar to my classic pfp. it's a white girl with oil slick blue scrunkly hair, large square glasses, and a long brown suit jacket on loosely. unlike the previous iteration, however, she is wearing a dark shin-length pleated skirt, brown socks, bright blue shoes, a brown shoulder strap, and a light blue Hawaiian shirt all buttoned up. she is holding a white laptop in one hand at her side, and the Grim Reaper's scythe in the other over her shoulder. there are dog ears on her head in addition to her normal human ears. her irises are diamond shaped and she is making a nervous but happy smile with her mouth and eyebrows.
