Not surprised that a guy who thinks about poisoning cats is a creep!

Pretty much any mention of a thought experiment in the wild gets my hackles up. “Isn’t it cool that the cat is alive and dead at the same time?” Shut up! Shut up shut up shut up!!! Tho to be honest it might just be schrodinger’s cat that comes up. I wish they’d leave the poor cat alone, and stop trying to poison it.

no no he meant a banh sandwich. Like a banh mi. It’s practically a homophone.

I’ll allow it! But obviously the solution is to water cool the hot water being dumped into rivers.

GoBots, truly the hydrox of transforming robots. I only know this reference from reading a certain webcomic based around the sale of the oreo in this analogy. I want those hours back, dammit.

Yeah while they’re at it, they should water cool the oceans.

Dumpster Fire Elemental is great. Could be shortened to just Dumpster Elemental. Then you could have DFE/DE for AGI/AI. But also just DFE in full for everything is good too.

The rest are good but I think a little too in the neighbourhood of AI for me- I want to forget about this substitution, then later encounter an article talking about how dumpster fire elementals are consuming more energy per day than all of europe and wonder what the hell is going on, before remembering I have the plugin installed. But that’s just my stupid opinion :)

Ok my real pitch is: something that can have agency, so that when the word substitution happens, you still have a parseable sentence, most of the time. Take “Garbage Ape” (from the heathcliff comics I guess), for example:

  • “I am a Garbage Ape ethicist”
  • “It’s Garbage Ape Welfare discussion week”
  • “I prompted a Garbage Ape to generate these image”
  • “I think Garbage Apes pose a serious existential threat”
  • “We’re proud to announce our new Garbage Ape, Steve”

Though it’s hard to pick a thing that conjures the right image.

Sounds like an internet binary question. I choose the blue/black bear named Yanni to debate a horse sized duck ballerina that only rotates left about whether or not a hot dog is a sandwich
