Didn't Bill Gates fly on the lolita express or something? Bet half the room is on Epstein's list.

How many of them are on Epstein's list? Bill Gates got divorced because he was a little to friendly with Epstein...

Saying that you're not worth the time for personal interactions but here's a reason that's okay is a platitude.

Too bad they're likely to learn the wrong lesson.

Additionally, AI will only be getting better,

It might get cheaper, but that doesn't mean it's doing a better job.

if the alternative is telling people that are struggling and have no other options that they have to tough it out

That's just it, if you're talking to someone who's is struggling with this there is already a better option: showing empathy. I suspect our perceived lack of empathy is a reflection of how society treats people in general, we are just more honest about it and recognize it's mostly platitudes.

I'll be honest, I find the framing of the study offensive and I'm not sure if I have the words but I'll try.

It's less about this study comparing itself to no intervention instead, but the social & political context of AI being pushed as a way to make care giving more efficient while sacrificing quality.

half were assigned to use Noora for four weeks and half received no intervention.

If only they gave a control group an off-the-shelf social game like LA Noire or a D&D play group

Full title:

No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model Book by Richard C. Schwartz

Lookup internal family systems (a good book would be "No Bad Parts"). It's like you have parts of yourself arguing and putting other parts down. It's all parts of you trying to protect you but they maybe don't recognize the roles each part has. Try to find out what your anger is trying to say, sometimes when the part is heard it is more manageable. The point isn't to make the anger go away but see if it can let other parts help in whatever need it is trying to accomplish.
