Pygmalion’s delusion

A belief that a chatbot, LLM, or other AI has gained sentience or "become real" coupled with intense feelings for it, romantic or platonic.

Targeted Harassment that mirrors the delusions of reference

Is what I actually said, though, it doesn't even take that much to justify killing any of you.

Hym "But the targeted harassment that mirrors the delusions of reference that violates both harassment law and likely school bullying policies and sometimes stallking laws and/or violates the privacy act of 1974. But yes. I would gladly murder your kids over it and CLEARLY other people agree. AND! AND... We're winning the war on weaponized schizophrenia at a ratio of 10 to 1. So, yeah. Entirely avoidable child death. Caused deliberately by YouTube internet pundits whose lives need to end as quickly a humanly possible."

The targeted harassment that resembles the delusions of reference commonly associated with schizophrenia is real

I know! I've been talking about it for years.

Hym "The targeted harassment that resembles the delusions of reference commonly associated with schizophrenia is real. Calling it out the way I did likely has something to do with the drop in the shootings. You might not like it but we all know from experience that once they start doing the weaponized schizophrenia not only do they not have to recognize your rights but also they won't stop until you murder some kids."
