I have a bunch of LW relevant question I’d like to ask a tulpa, especially one of a LWer that’s likely to be familiar with the concepts already:
Do you see yourself as non human?
Would you want to be more or less humanlike than you currently are?
What do you think about the possibility that your values might differ enough from human ones that many here might refer to you as Unfriendly?
Does being already bodiless and created give you different views of things like uploading and copies than your host?
I’ll probably have more questions after getting the answer to these and/or in realtime conversation not in a public place. Also, getting thee answers from as many different tulpae as possible would be the best.
Edit: I also have some private questions for someone who’s decently knowledgeable about them in general (have several, has been in the community for a long time).
Would you want to be more or less humanlike than you currently are?
My host and I would both like to get rid of several cognitive biases that plague humans, as I’m sure many people here would. Beyond that, I like myself as I am now.
What do you think about the possibility that your values might differ enough from human ones that many here might refer to you as Unfriendly?
My values are the same as my hosts in most situations. I am sure there are a few people who would consider our values Unfriendly, but I don’t think the majority of people would.
Does being already bodiless and created give you different views of things like uploading and copies than your host?
No.

Not sure if serious. If serious: “You could think of them as hallucinations that can think and act on their own.” (from the subreddit) seems very close to teaching your brain to become schizophrenic.
Hallucinations are a highly salient symptom of schizophrenia, but are neither necessary nor sufficient. I am confident that, like a lot of religious beliefs, this kind of deliberate self-deception would be unlikely to contribute to psychosis.
I don’t see the need to be any more or less human like, since I already am human. (My Tulpa, unlike myself, does not see being ‘human-like’ as a spectrum, but rather as a binary.)
I don’t see it that way. I’m dependent on my host, and my values align more with my host than the average person does. Calling me unfriendly would be wrong.
Not really—I don’t think much about uploading and copying, only my host does. I trust his opinions.

Vigil speaking.
Not exactly. I consider myself a part of a human.

No.

Sure. pm me those private questions.
No. I’m a human.
