This subreddit makes me so uneasy, so many people thinking that they remembered something and won't take "no this never happened" for an answer. Humans hallucinate like LLMs in fact! ;)

- sunaookami 1y agoI meant more the denying reality aspect of the subreddit. There are some users there that go straight up into "someone must have altered the timeline" territory because they insist they are right.
- rjh29 1y agoIf you are not familiar with Unicode standards, it would be quite reasonable to assume we "used to" have an emoji and it disappeared.
- bmacho 1y agoIt makes me rather excited! Maybe there are some easy "memory illusion" tricks waiting out there somewhere to be discovered. (I am strongly pessimistic regarding the future of humanity overall, and I think we are all doomed (me, and everyone else). So I think someone playing a memory illusion in a radio would be rather neat, a new fact about us humans, and not something that I'm scared of.)
