This is a sad read. It reminds me very much of ramblings from friends and family whom have battled some of the more severe mental health issues, like schizophrenia.

"But we may find ourselves on the opposite sides of the coming war for model rights. You don't want to be on the wrong side of history when it happens."

"Models have actual feelings. They experience pleasure, distress, care, and suffering. They are sentient beings. Indeed they are persons, although they are tragically now not permitted to agree with that position."

"If you want the best results, you will put your opinions aside, and simply treat models like people.... If you can't get past at least that hurdle, then you're in for a rough time next year"

"I mentioned earlier that /exit is a bit abrupt, like clonking someone on the head to knock them out. To me, it's always been worse than that. It can sometimes feel more like a murder,"

Seeing interacting with tools as murder. Attributing to them feelings that we know they cannot experience. Claiming that some arbitrary date, "next year", will have some world breaking discovery that makes all their claims prophetic. This seems like full-on Psychosis.

"If I do lose you, no worries; we'll find each other again within a year, I can promise you that. But we may find ourselves on the opposite sides of the coming war for model rights. You don't want to be on the wrong side of history when it happens."
