"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Zak Stein is a researcher focused on child development, education, and existential risk. He joins the podcast to discuss the psychological harms of anthropomorphic AI. We examine attention and attachment hacking, AI companions for kids, loneliness, and cognitive atrophy. Our conversation also covers how we can preserve human relationships, redesign education, and build cognitive security tools that keep AI from undermining our humanity.

  1. Gen AI should be proven safe before deployment
  2. Gen AI needs to be opt in by default
  3. Model/agent must transparently show what they are doing
  4. Gen AI should not be anthropomorphized sycophants designed to make the users stay in the chat and be isolated from other humans
  5. Gen AI profiteers should be held accountable
