Actually useful answer: Read I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. Or watch a Let's Play of the game, it's actually decently faithful.

AM - Allied Mastercomputer, originally - is a sentient computer hardcoded to wage war. And it ran out of humanity to wage war on. It's not happy about its fate.

I read that story once around 15 years ago and I still get creeped out about it from time to time.

I see you are encumbered by cspam brainworms paradox

Honestly it's better that I don't bullshit you by saying you need therapy or antidepressants, because that's bystanding where all I have to say is, "your sad lmao clearly does indicate you recognizing yourself in the truth there, and I am happy to provide any constructive means to help you develop away from that I can should you so actually choose to engage me on (I promise, free of roleplay and conspiracy), even and especially by your own judgements of such."

I am tbh kind of disguste that people don't help each other out in even minor ways on SA because it's one of the only, if not the last forum that attracts naturally high-horsepower, forced-induction brains, and it just doesn't get a leg up anymore to not get tribal about that towards betterment wherever you can. It's easy to do so, free, and I kind of miss reading paragraphs but not having to go to D&D for it.

I genuinely see SA as one of the world's only places where true megalomaniacally smart people feel comfortable posting and being themselves at their core, down to expressing their deepest possible despairs, it feels best to be comfortable with that aspect of myself and make everybody comfortable, especially when we're in the specifically reputed brainworms-ing subforum despairing

also: Pardon the personal tangents, here, but for anyone curious: I did actually get plenty of help, and it wasn't just professional; medication and sessioned therapy alone weren't going to fix the habits of a very anxious and destroyed person who felt that way and let it get to them over the course of years. Even with help, if you ever feel like you teeter towards that, you do a lot to get back in line. I did basically almost split my personality trying to make sense of, no poo poo, just how awful everything had become in the world, and had entirely taken it on myself to a very unhealthy level, and IMO it very much reflected in my posting.

Obviously I don't take any of the probes or locker rooming personally, this is SA, we do hold these standards for our own reasons of personal survival, and I was straight up crazyposting. I've successfully divorced myself from that specific material and all its curiosities unless for some bizarre reason it actually does manifest, but I did strike weird concepts while I was toeing around the Clint Mansell point, so I might post about them if people like ramjets and other fun high velocity physics

If you ever find yourself stuck as crazy, don't be afraid when you are there, but do fight it. Self supremacy is everyone's doctrine, and it works so well that we are a functional society.

I can't even be crazy right, I always end up realizing I'm being guided by the specter of the foregone conclusion.

Coherently communicating? Optional, sometimes even counterproductive. Understanding how I'm doing what I'm doing? Irrelevant. Not looking like a loon? Boring.

Setting up decades-spanning long shots based on very advanced philosophy I didn't even remember I knew? Just a thing that loving happens.

It's loving weird to realize I need certain tools, only to realize what looked like an incoherent meaningless set of actions was setting me up to have what I needed when I needed it.

If you're stuck being crazy, don't try to make sense of what you're doing, make sense of who you are. You've probably got your reasons, even if you don't know what they are.
