I don't think people should be using ChatGPT as a therapist, because best case scenario is the computer says some platitudes and at least nothing gets worse, worst case scenario it'll end up reinforcing whatever unhealthy thought patterns they may have because the computer has been trained to be a sycophant. But I'm going to be real, I don't think "you're actually morally tainted if you talk to the computer" and being an annoying scold about it is in any way the right way to get people to stop doing it.

And I don't mean that in a "you need to sugarcoat the harsh reality" kind of way, because there actually isn't any harsh truth being imparted onto a person by going "oh you sweet summer child" and then telling them how flawed of a human being they are for relying on generative AI for comfort. It's just tiresome moralizing.

If you want to actually help these people you kind of need to cut out the "these people are bad for talking to the AI" part, and actually think about why they're talking to the AI. Could that be indicative of a bigger social issue? Something that you can't just scold people out of? If the issue is that you feel they shouldn't be talking to an LLM and instead talking to a therapist, could there be a reason as to why they are not talking to a therapist? Could there be an explanation for this that doesn't hinge on "this person is bad and lazy?"

Had my suspicions but I have finally confirmed it this morning: The rival Pokémon Go team I have been beefing with, whose gym's total annihilation I have incorporated into my morning routine, is actually a group of local elementary school students

AI industry groups are urging an appeals court to block what they say is the largest copyright class action ever certified. They’ve warned that a single lawsuit raised by three authors over Anthropic’s AI training now threatens to “financially ruin” the entire AI industry if up to 7 million claimants end up joining the litigation and forcing a settlement.

well…darn

Texas GOP are gerrymandering House seats to help Republicans steal the 2026 midterms.

Texas Democrats have left the state to stop the process.

Kinda wish I wasn't feeling more and more vindicated every day about calling it from the start that treating the AI issue like a moral crusade where you have like a moral obligation to prioritize signalling and reaffirming your hatred of generative AI at any possible chance would lead to a lot of ostensibly "progressive" people uncritically parroting extremely reactionary rhetoric.
