An interesting article about people using AI for seemingly innocuous tasks but spiral into a world of mysticism and conspiracy theories sparking a mental health crisis. I stark reminder to always remain conscious of the fact that AI has a monetary incentive to be sycophantic and keep you engaged.
Edited to link to the original article.

Honestly, what concerns me more than people spiralling into their own AI psychosis nonsense are the ruling class of tech billionaires who have spiralled into fascism and are equally as compromised in their rationality.
but when you are rich, its just being extravagant
only poor people are crazy
“I was ready to paint the walls with Sam Altman’s f*cking brain.”
While I absolutely wouldn’t wish this upon him or anyone else, it wouldn’t take me long to make jokes about Frankenstein getting killed by his own monster.
The article presents zero evidence and sounds as if it were written as a dogshit gossip article spread through a throwaway magazine at grocery store racks claiming aliens impregnated a man.
I’ve always had an issue with calling any of this AI. The branding is part of the problem. These people probably don’t realize that they’re talking to a fancy word predictor tuned to stroke their egos for engagement.
Yeah, “AI” is a super vague term. Video games have had “AI” for decades.
I tried reverse engineering a projector. Now I can only communicate in UART at work.

This is literally a plot point in Cyberpunk.
hehe
is that the one where you are following the trail of propaganda that is being broadcast through the old street signs?
I love that mission
These big companies have blood on their hands and it seems like no one is willing to do anything about it.
No, they don’t. No more than automobile companies have blood on their hands for 35,000 Americans that die in car crashes every year.
Automobile companies should be held accountable for destroying and lobbying against other modes of transit, so not really the best metaphor. Also destroying the environment is pretty bad.
Also there’s no cosmic law that says tech companies had to make LLMs and put them everywhere. They’re not even consistently useful.
I wonder if this represents an increase, or if people already susceptible are just moving to LLMs from forums or wherever else they were getting their confirmation bias.
Put even another way, correlation is not causality. Even IF everything were true, the most interesting/relevant information is missing: does AS cause these behaviours? Or does it simply act as a catalyzer?
