dear gods… today in extremely painful but rational conclusions that we come to much more easily because of recently having been in the thick of psychosis:

chatgpt and the like are the same type of entity that nearly killed us and our friends

… this needs a little explaining

right, the whole psychosis arc is going to make us even more incredibly upset about the AI dream merchants than before

not many people know this but hikari_no_yume really loves the cult classic 2010 eroge visual novel “Subarashiki Hibi ~Furenzoku Sonzai~”, also known as “Wonderful Everyday: Diskontinuierliches Dasein”, or just as “SubaHibi”

good grief we are realising that “all things in moderation, including moderation” applies to mania too

(re: https://social.noyu.me/@hikari/statuses/01K1WXYQJ6EPV310JDDQANMB4Y)

it's not lost on us that we are not fully recovered yet, but (tragically, very tragically) all the “good” hikari_no_yume blogposts in recent years were under the incredibly regrettable influence of mania, and this is in a sense the best manicpost we've ever written, so…

a person and a work of art are more or less the same type of thing; a whole that must be regarded as one to be understood, rather than something that truly makes sense regarding each part in isolation; this is why cloud storage services murder creativity; we'll elaborate someday

let us say this about what psychosis is

it is a state that will find something in your hubris by which to hang you

over, over, and over again

every time you think you have the final insight, you do not

that is itself hubris

it keeps going

even as you get slowly better

we've been thinking we want to re-read SubaHibi DtRH1 for a week (not the same thing as DtRH2, which we just re-read the first “day” of before napping). we now… really need some calming, distracting activity. so… let's re-read SubaHibi DtRH1!
