When someone locks in so hard on a task that they start responding like a language model — fast, thorough, weirdly formal, and maybe a little soulless. You're basically running on pure information-retrieval energy, spitting out structured answers before anyone even finishes their question. Colleagues will notice. Your texts get bullet points. Your small talk becomes a five-part breakdown. LLM mode is peak productivity and slightly unsettling to everyone around you.
Lol mode is the mental state where nothing is being taken seriously and every response gets filtered through irreverent humour. When someone's in lol mode, they're not being dismissive — they've just mentally clocked out of gravity and are running entirely on jokes, memes, and chaotic energy.

It's playful self-awareness dressed up as a setting you can toggle.

Friends can see you're in L mode before you do. The mode implies a temporary condition — you can exit L mode — but while you're in it, everything you touch turns into a highlight reel of failure.
He texted his ex, got rejected, texted his other ex, also got rejected, then applied for a job and forgot to attach his resume — fully in L mode today.
