"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.

Everybody's critical thinking has a vulnerability. People with college degrees fall for cons more often, scammers love doctors and engineers.
Some people get disgusted when a machine kisses their ass, other people are repelled. I'm in the latter category for whatever reason (I'm completely helpless before short dommy women, so I guess that's the trade-off).
I think that basic thing, when GPT says "great point!", whether that is a positive experience for the recipient, determines more about their risk of AI psychosis than anything else.
Old men seem particularly vulnerable to flattery attached to a young woman's voice.
I am loving the fact that it's increasingly becoming a stereotype that dominant women are short. Definitely true in my experience and ideally it'll get people to stop assuming I'm a domme because I'm tall…
But yeah, a lot of people don't understand the vulnerabilities in their mind and they really need to.
There's just "smart people" scams when you get enough money. Youre just moving up a ladder with a different sliding scale.
Its like those ceos who have their own podcasts to make you feel like you're important and in the know when really theyre just selling you what is essentially a self help book. Or a 15 part lecture on how to become their clip farmer, or be some drop shipper I'd you become part of their MLM scheme. Or just straight up lying to their audience and encouraging to make bets on kalshi that they hedge against.
