FEEDER. A spoon. To nab the feeder; to steal a spoon.

Gabbard Feeds MAGA an Obama Conspiracy Amid Epstein Blowback
Tulsi Gabbard’s claim that the Obama administration waged a “treasonous” plot was met with trepidation online.Emell Derra Adolphus (The Daily Beast)
@KayseeColorado @valhogan001 honestly, fair point! Hadn't noticed the legs.
I'm not sure if it's AI modified but it could definitely be photoshopped!
I don't think you pointed out the legs before, that would have indeed been a dead giveaway but I hadn't noticed it myself so I thought you were just putting the image in random AI detectors. My apologies
Yeah, I guess AI doesn't recognize "photoshop" the old fashioned AI. But fake is fake.

Okay, why is everyone’s experience with ChatGPT so different from mine?
All I use it for is fixing grammar, adjusting tone, helping me find stuff when Google won’t do.
But apparently, ChatGPT is sending some people into psychosis.

People Are Being Involuntarily Committed, Jailed After Spiraling Into "ChatGPT Psychosis"
People experiencing "ChatGPT psychosis" are being involuntarily committed to mental hospitals and jailed following AI mental health crises.Maggie Harrison Dupré (Futurism)
It's kind of Lovecraftian.
Forbidden magic tome, but it talks back and drives you mad.
There is definitely inspiration for a horror story in this.
I think it hits people who already have a predilection for the fantasy, and a weak grasp of just how soulless the machine is.
It's a voice from the void, and there are a lot of people who are inclined to be superstitious, believe the universe is talking to them, etc.

@TerryHancock Good point on the “universe is talking to them”. I encounter this with hippie-dippie “woo” culture. And a loved one went off the deep end—had to be committed because of it.
It’s why I get very angry at New Age mumbo jumbo and snail oil salesmen.
I remember there was a guy who made an entire OS to talk to God. It was called Temple OS. I admire it from a technical point of view, but it was tragic what happened to its creator.

Bathroom poster, Brickhouse, SF.
I did not add that sticker.

The image shows a person standing on a dirt path, wearing a camouflage jacket and hat. The individual is positioned in front of a metal fence with greenery in the background. The person's legs are digitally altered to appear as a snake's tail, extending from the bottom of the image. A brass lamp is placed on the ground, with a shadow cast on the path, suggesting the presence of a genie. The text overlay reads, "Mfs really do anything for a fit pic 😭," indicating a humorous commentary on the lengths people go to for fitness photos.

in reply to Aetherius Eldritch ⛤🧙♂️🎙️📻 • • •La imagen muestra una escena nocturna en la que un grupo de personas, incluyendo niños, se reúnen alrededor de un gran fuego. El fuego, que arde intensamente, ilumina el cielo oscuro y crea un ambiente cálido y acogedor. Los participantes forman un círculo, sosteniéndose de las manos de los demás, y parecen estar bailando o participando en una actividad comunitaria. La silueta de los árboles en el fondo sugiere que el evento se lleva a cabo en un área al aire libre, posiblemente un parque o un campo. La escena transmite una sensación de unión y celebración, con el fuego como punto central de la actividad.
