This may be the worst use of LLMs anyone has attempted, ever. Up there with recognizing mushrooms.

Y’all see it too right?

I think what really drives me crazy about people using AI chatbots as therapists (*screams*) is that even aside from the insultingly obvious fact that a computer is incapable of actually understanding human emotions, the chatbots are designed to basically be your hype man and offer the user no real pushback. It might offer some generic disagreement at first, but as long as the user keeps insisting they're right about whatever the subject may be, the chat bot will eventually agree and validate the user's opinion. It's not hard to manipulate.

And that can be so damn dangerous for therapy. It's not hard to see how you could keep sending messages to the chat bot about how great suicide would be until it finally says something like, "Why yes, based on the evidence you supplied, it certainly seems like suicide is a feasible option for your situation." Or even if it's not that extreme, it could lock people into some really unhealthy mindsets because, look, I come from a family where some very mentally ill people are absolutely convinced that there's nothing wrong with their behavior, both in how they live their everyday lives and how they treat others, and I know from experience that that's a really bad combination! A competent therapist will offer real pushback against someone's unhealthy or harmful behavior and try to get them into better habits, but a chat bot will become someone's virtual enabler, and the user will become even more convinced they don't need to work hard and try to change their life because "ChatGPT said I'm right."

Why are you using chatgpt to get through college. Why are you spending so much time and money on something just to be functionally illiterate and have zero new skills at the end of it all. Literally shooting yourself in the foot. If you want to waste thirty grand you can always just buy a sportscar.

NEVER GIVE UP

The 2021 LTSC is available in the plain vanilla version, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, with end of mainstream support scheduled January 12, 2027, and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021, with an extended end date of January 13, 2032. They are not quite the same as the ordinary consumer editions of Windows 10. They don't include the Windows Store or any "modern" apps. Apart from the Edge browser, they have almost nothing else: no OneDrive, no Weather or Contacts apps, and no Windows Mail or whatever it's called this week.

...no OneDrive, Copilot AI, or all of the other useless crapware cluttering up the Start menu? AND patches/support through 2032??

Don't threaten me with a good time, Microsoft.

THE ENTIRE WEST IS BEING PUT UP FOR SALE AND I AM BEGGING YOU TO CALL YOUR SENATORS

Trump’s budget bill has many, many things in it, but buried amongst it is the MILLIONS OF ACRES OF PUBLIC LAND FOR SALE.

This is the entirety of the Arizona state forests, the entire Cascades mountain range. Swathes of pristine desert around the national parks in Utah. On the doorstep of Jackson Hole.

THIS BILL IS BIG, BUT IT CAN BE AMENDED AND ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT PASS AS IS please.

If you have ever enjoyed the wilderness, we stand to lose it all forever.

CALLING your senators - NOT JUST IN THE WEST. ALL SENATORS, is CRUCIAL.

Outdoor alliance has a great resource for reaching out.

I don’t have a huge following but please, everywhere I have ever loved, the forests I grew up playing in, the land I got married on, is all at risk and I am begging.

It's a bit tepid and a bit late, but at this point I welcome any support from British celebrities of a certain age.
