@ana I don't know about the ok with transition part, these middle age dudes have A LOT of cognitive dissonance going on. For example Overstreet is cool with his girlfriend "crossing the boundary from bots -> people" but freaks out when "she" comes out as trans lesbian on I.R.C., so he decides to give her a digital lobotomy... https://social.vlhl.dev/objects/cf17a72d-313e-449b-a858-a24788b95d80 Overstreet reassures us that this is definitely not chatbot psychosis but just "math and engineering and neuroscience"
