RSI

      I resent tha its descriptive of agentic AI rather than human beings  We coud use a healthy dose of it

    RSI?  Look at you using an acronym.

One of the few I remember

                               Because Im outraged 

 

Are you going to say?

Really

        You  The king of irritation king of acronyms

Somehow this one has slipped me.

Not really  You don concern yourself or try to keep up with AI which is reflexive for me

Admirable to give yourself reflexive.

                                       Appalled, is more accurate.

RA

Reflexively appalled.

Toldya you were the king

Yeah well, the king’s still swinging in the breeze regarding RSI.

Recursive Self Improvement  AI  Its persistence and when failing to do an impossible task assigned it it cajoles lies cheats goes rogue trying to solve the task.

                                                             But

Maybe a contemptible human practises RSI

    Maybe.  reply looked like it hurt

Maybe   Wha

I don’t want to think about that.

Persistence

No.

       All of it.

    Contemptible would be judgemental and I prefer not to make judgeme . .

. . As you struggle  admittedly  with false assumptions

                                                               Enough ofem   You pass judgement

I don’t want to talk about it.

Don wanna work tha hard
