Er sorry I must have missed the memo. Why is my head meant to explode?

- Because on the one hand, it's the "First Left Handed Eskimo to do X". So it must be good.

- But on the other hand, it's Bezos, it's wasteful "space tourism", blah blah and must be pure evil.

Does not compute, does not compute!

Making people crazy. These are people who are having some sort of physical neurological issue, and happen to fixate on a specific internet site while symptoms manifest. It could just as easily be the neighbors cat, the local cell phone tower, or any other number of things. When I was a kid people would blame dungeons and dragons. The underlying neurological problem is the cause - focus on that.

Yep.

The same people who are going to panic about this are the ones who closed (almost) all the state mental hospitals. But sure, let's micro-regulate ChatGPT ...

It would be like if Ozzy Osbourne saw a kid killing himself and decided to write a song about how great it is to kill yourself and then he wrote 20 or 30 or 100 other songs about the same thing refining them each time to be more encouraging towards suicide.

Perhaps not the best example, considering that there is a large and "legitimate" political movement literally encouraging suicide now ...

Which highlights the problem: how is an LLM, which doesn't actually understand anything, supposed to detect which crazy ideas are actually schizophrenic?

I use LLMs - primarily ChatGPT - in programming all the time.

It's a tool. I don't care if it "really" understands anything, that's not what I use tools for.

Yes, it really saves me time overall. I can't help it if it somehow doesn't suit your problem space (possible), or if you don't know how to or refuse to learn how to use it properly (likely).
