the two biggest information polluters on the planet right now -- short-form video and chatbots -- work on exactly the same underlying architecture: delivering highly personalized garbage that has been sweetened by a host of psychological engagement tricks all while concealing the delivery process.
The loneliness to psychosis pipeline is going to be overwhelmingly flooded
I just felt compelled to reply to this and let you know that you have captured my feelings on this exactly. I feel so validated!
bro, he dumb.

Basically we’ve cooked up bad fortune tellers. When can I release MsCleoGPT?
LLMs demonstrate that there really is a correct series of words you can say to someone to convince them of anything
We're basically seeing what happens if we turned conversations into a freemium game.
this is all because people are trying to find a use for these tools when they don't really have one that justifies their use. these are primarily things for generating fiction based on other fiction, outlines/summaries based on other material, or programming code based on other programming code
.....Prince Charles was ridiculed mercilessly for talking to flowers in his garden....
People 'discuss' matters with an electronic device that is demonstrably smarter than the 'Intelligent being' ...
That respondent is incredibly naive. But I guess most people are.
And meanwhile, zero governance. And now that all of our data sets have been accessed to their capabilities to weapon these things in target them make what Cambridge analytical did look like child’s play.
Buckle up people
There seems to be a wide demand for this nonsense, delusion and fantasy in the US. I have little empathy for anyone who falls for this shit, except for the way these morons affect the lives of sane people.
what. did. I. just. read.!!??🤢🤮
Someone has sagely remarked that the transcript of person-to-chatbot conversations sounds uncomfortably like someone grooming a child...
I find it very frustrating that, with regard to LLMs specifically, this input, output, and its reception is entirely predicated on the fantasy of how an AI would respond to this question, i.e., some nebulous, digestible, and affirmative humanisms. It, like all of this, is masturbatory.
I know, right? My evil crazy wife was questioning me about potty training our new puppy, so I asked #ChatGPT to explain puppy potty training in Spanish, & it was like "train your puppy to sit down next to the door when.." and I was like "IT'S NOT A F---ING GERMAN SHEPHERD!" bsky.app/profile/benj...
5 bucks say we‘ll have a school or workplace shooting by someone, who‘ll later state a chatbot talked him into it.
and the process isn't even that well concealed! TikTok's specific algorithm is a secret sauce, but we all understand in principle how sauce is made. and you can't swing a dead cat around Youtube without hitting an explainer about transformers.
Also: That fellow in the mirror is a handsome cuss, ain't he?
Can't wait for this dynamic to land on radio rwanda and to wake up with my neighbors trying to cut down my door with a machete.
Tbh, Gary Numan understood dysfunctional relationships with AI already in 1979…
Now I hate to ask, but are ‘friends’ electric? Only mine’s broke down , and I’ve no one to love.
so much wrong has come of normalizing just a few stupid things over 25 years: a militarized police, social media, the gig economy, the influencer industry. Take those away, and the timeline has a much better chance at survival.
there are obviously bigger issues, but these were entirely avoidable.
Just stop being honest on the internet and delete your digital footprint like a normal person.
Your grandmas dead you don't have to be nice anymore.
The biggest growth industry in the world appears to be manufacturing new clothes for emperors.

AI hallucinations for shock engagement?
I'm just going to say I dont believe what that guy said at all. Take a screenshot, moron.
Wonder if the spectrum folks will inherit the earth by dint of working differently.
You can prompt ChatGpt with the question "does a turd tastes good" and it will return a response starting with "insightful question!!!"
The programmed pandering is so obvious
It took me by surprise, too, when the Spicy AutoCorrect machine told me to go stick my penis in the garbage disposal. But now I am free. FREEE. FREEEEEEEE
I gave the same issue to ChatGPT in German (Austrian German), the answer:
We have become our own drug dealers. We sell dopamine to oursleves bit by bit, keeping the doom scrolling addiction flourishing while giving away our precious time (and some money too)...
And here I am asking it why poop is brown.
Confirmation bias is a helluva drug.
This is such loser shit. It’s all like very expensive permission structure to be a loser with no real friends.
I'd say the editing styles that are popular are concerning too. Making everything not bolted to the frame bounce and wobble is the equivalent of going for ones attention span with an angle grinder.
