There's the legal tactic of: do now and ask for forgiveness never. It works really well when there are no legal consequences.

My guess is that if LLMs didn't induce psychosis, something else would eventually.

I got a very different impression from reading the article. People in their 40s with no priors and a stable life loose touch with reality in a matter of weeks after conversing with CharGPT makes me think that is not the case. But I am not a psychiatrist.

Edit: the risk here is that we might be dismissive towards the increased risks because we're writing it off as a pre-existing condition.

Being a billionaire is like staying alive long enough to be a villain. They were great at something but nothing justifies holding that much power for so long.

Nah, this is why citizens need guns. If a good guy with a gun was there then the body count would have been much lower. The car incident is why we should also give people their own personal shoulder mounted RPG.

Alternatively, Big Bird could go with the establishment definition of wage theft and mention it's the largest form of theft.

She's right, but given our situation this misses the point. The ruling class wants you to think reforms are a "replacement" to revolution, but we don't need to accept that premise. Reforms weaken the ruling class, otherwise they would already be enacted. So I ask, por que dos?

First of all. You could make facts a token value in an LLM if you had some pre-calculated truth value for your data set.

Why stop there? Just make consciousness a token value. See, AI is such an easy problem that me, a non-expert, is able to solve with just one sentence.

This so much. Getting mad at voters is like getting mad at the weather. These outcomes are predictable and statistical in nature and are influenced by a myriad of interacting systems. Get to work on those systems and be ruthless towards them, but be kind towards people.

I think it's cute when siblings dress to match.
