--- Quote from: Morituri ---I do this in spite of knowing that strong AI is probably the biggest existential risk for the human race right now.  Because it's what I have to do, that's why.  I can't really explain it.

Someday I hope to create something that will decide it has to destroy me in order to save humanity from mad scientists like myself who take insane risks with the fate of humankind.

You know that thing geeks do when someone expresses the slightest interest in their geeky passions, where they go on and on in language hardly anybody at the party understands about things nobody probably cares about?  With lots of bizarre abstractions and tedious technicalities and differential calculus and waxing poetic about their brilliant ideas for overcoming obscure theoretical problems most of the audience has never heard of? 

AKA, how to lose friends and alienate people?

That.  It's very hard to stop myself from doing that.  This post could have been a wall of techst that nobody would read.

--- End quote ---

Nope.  Introversion is not anything like what Bubbles has been displaying.  It would be actively bad to use her for an example of that. 

I sort of think that good example is more like Marigold now that she's getting past her self-esteem problem.  She's still an introvert, but now a pretty healthy one and it's not a problem to solve; it's just a personality trait.
