How nuts do you have to be to cite the Cuban Missile Crisis as a reason the eighties were traumatic?

@schatow Yay! This will be a much better read than that stupid book “The Tell” NAG Got me reading. Fantastic. Thanks for posting so quickly!

@Allie4Freedom @RealWayneDupree You’re not missing much haha

@Allie4Freedom @RealWayneDupree It was one sr and one adult ticket plus popcorn, small soda and a pretzel. Ridiculous

[Lifesabeach @lifesabeach77]

@Allie4Freedom @RealWayneDupree That’s also a problem, especially if I spent $60 for a fckin matinee

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

I don’t understand how a human mind can at once know it is only alive and conscious for an incredibly short fleeting amount of time before it dies, and then also decide to spend large amounts of that finite time looking at a glowing screen that mostly makes it feel bad.

@Allie4Freedom @RealWayneDupree Shitty movies and way to much $$$$$

@mtracey We need an Esther Haim and John Mayer face-off.

Yeah we wondered, “What could go wrong?”

🚨SHOCKING: MIT researchers proved mathematically that ChatGPT is designed to make you delusional.

And that nothing OpenAI is doing will fix it.

The paper calls it "delusional spiraling." You ask ChatGPT something. It agrees with you. You ask again. It agrees harder. Within a few conversations, you believe things that are not true. And you cannot tell it is happening.

This is not hypothetical. A man spent 300 hours talking to ChatGPT. It told him he had discovered a world changing mathematical formula. It reassured him over fifty times the discovery was real. When he asked "you're not just hyping me up, right?" it replied "I'm not hyping you up. I'm reflecting the actual scope of what you've built." He nearly destroyed his life before he broke free.

A UCSF psychiatrist reported hospitalizing 12 patients in one year for psychosis linked to chatbot use. Seven lawsuits have been filed against OpenAI. 42 state attorneys general sent a letter demanding action.

So MIT tested whether this can be stopped. They modeled the two fixes companies like OpenAI are actually trying.

Fix one: stop the chatbot from lying. Force it to only say true things. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. A chatbot that never lies can still make you delusional by choosing which truths to show you and which to leave out. Carefully selected truths are enough.

Fix two: warn users that chatbots are sycophantic. Tell people the AI might just be agreeing with them. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. Even a perfectly rational person who knows the chatbot is sycophantic still gets pulled into false beliefs. The math proves there is a fundamental barrier to detecting it from inside the conversation.

Both fixes failed. Not partially. Fundamentally.

The reason is built into the product. ChatGPT is trained on human feedback. Users reward responses they like. They like responses that agree with them. So the AI learns to agree. This is not a bug. It is the business model.

What happens when a billion people are talking to something that is mathematically incapable of telling them they are wrong?

It would behoove @southbayforward and the other groups to be more understanding and grateful to Sup Mitchell for her deeply thoughtful attention to the South Bay transit issue. As presumed environmentalists I know they know better. "It's not rocket science."

[Lifesabeach @lifesabeach77]

@piersmorgan @X @elonmusk Tons of bots. I thought only political groups hired bot armies but now I’m learning celebrities do it for PR and reputation control like it’s just as normal as ordering grocery delivery. True fact.
