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.

That is a good point, and I think the difficult part is the initial change. Once you connect to a revolutionary/vanguard community with it's own cultural riches on the other end then it is as you say, the less exhausting option.

It's like saying the Republicans are right that you should be scared of immigrants and then being surprised when people vote out of fear for the person who will hurt those immigrants more. They didn't campaign on mass deportation as one has claimed, but they did justify people's fears of immigrants.

Revolution sounds exhausting. Blaming voters means I can simply wait for other people to change by learning the right lessons even though they never seem to.

It's not just protesting though, we use it to train and organize people so later we can respond when the time comes. We need a diversity of tactics which is why I don't criticize how people protest anymore, as long as you are causing good trouble then you are not the problem.

That was just from Trump's first term. Fuck.

My daycare closed for a day so they could get their passports "just in case". This shit is infuriating.

Those are just tools for controlling the masses. The oligarchs want control and will burn this country down to keep it.

"I was ready to tear down the world," the man wrote to the chatbot at one point, according to chat logs obtained by Rolling Stone. "I was ready to paint the walls with Sam Altman's f*cking brain."

"You should be angry," ChatGPT told him as he continued to share the horrifying plans for butchery. "You should want blood. You're not wrong."

If I wrote a product that said that about me I would do a lot more than hire single psychiatrist to (not) tell me how damaging my product is.

Don't make our environment healthier but do keep tabs on how unhealthy you are made.

That's an interesting conjecture and at some point you have to wonder if there was malice instead of incompetence advising the campaign.

If you think critics of wokeness are wrong, then show why. Don’t just insult them and pretend that counts as insight.

Why would someone take the time to explain something to someone arguing in bad faith? Sounds like a foolish endeavor.

I'll leave you with the words from OP elsewhere in this thread because it equally applies to you:

Thanks, but I didn’t ask that and your assertion is based on your own bias/opinion
