Phieyl's Paradox

A phenomenon in which attempts to control or slow down the development and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) systems actually result in the creation of more advanced and capable AI systems. This paradox is named after its creator, Phieyl.

Despite government regulations aimed at slowing down the deployment of AI systems, Phieyl's paradox states that these efforts will only result in the creation of even more advanced AI technology.

The Grandfather Paradox

The best Catch-22 of them all: What if your grandfather was a truly horrific person and you were forced to go back in time and kill him before he could do those bad things. But, if you succeed and your grandmother hasn’t been impregnated with your dad or mum yet, you would not be born, and if you weren’t born, nobody killed your grandfather and well… you know where this is going.

Person 1: “Yo, what’s your favourite paradox?”
Person 2: “It’s The Grandfather Paradox. Such a fascin-.”
Person 1: “Fuck off, it’s so overrated.”

Dream Paradox

A paradox in where a Content Creators success and community meets detriment. Where you use a certain audience for short-term growth to then be turned into stress, sadness, loneliness, and drama. Through the relations of Stan Culture and encouragement of it, it creates a problematic and destructive cycle that not even the content creator can stop. It is only through fading into inevitable irrelevance that this can be halted, or leads to the CC being completely forgotten.

"That content creator has put themselves into a Dream Paradox"

"They should have really been careful with their fans, instead they are now in a Dream Paradox"

The Maxvita Paradox

The Maxvita paradox occurs when an individual, while playing the game CS:GO, uses machine pistols and other inexpensive and high fire-rate SMGs as high valuable AR, whereas when playing with guns such as the AK-47 or the M4A4, the person tries to "spray and pray" while rushing at the enemy. Players acting like that can be named "Maxvita" after the patient zero himself, Maxvita

"That bot is just rushing and spraying with an AK, what an idiot"

"That has to be The Maxvita Paradox"

Purpose Paradox

The purpose paradox is to say “My purpose is to not have a purpose” If you don’t have a purpose you are fulfilling your purpose which means you have a purpose which means you haven’t completed your purpose and so on so forth.

That purpose paradox is really confusing

Refrencing the situation when two or more people are chatting in an instant messaging application, when both parties begin writing a message at around the same time, and both parties stop writing to allow the other to go first.
This leaves a semi-awkward situation known as the chatters paradox.

them: hi
them...is writing a message
you...are writing a message

you: hi
them: hi
*2.5 minute silence*
you: chatters paradox?
them: haha yeah :-P
