LLMs seem to be good at creating cults with one member each. Dan Lyke / comment 0
Oh wow: From a thread exploring John Gruber: Anthropic’s ‘Watermark’ Text Adulteration in Claude Is a Perversion of Writing (uh... insert that Nathan Fillion speechless .gif from Castle) Cassandra has had an adventure @xgranade@wandering.shop observes:
@whitequark That is, someone far enough down a AI radicalization pipeline may not share a common vernacular or grammar with *anyone*; to wit the Gas Town case. I don't think anyone else had exactly the same radicalization pipeline. To be blithe perhaps to the point of inaccuracy, LLMs seem to be good at creating cults with one member each.
(Emphasis mine).
"LLMs seem to be good at creating cults with one member each." I'm gonna have to sit with that.
The same thread proposes "vibesick" as a sub for "ai psychosis", which I'm also pondering.
If you had a bunch of collections of Dan Lyke / comment 1
If you had a bunch of collections of information, perhaps envisioned by folders full of PDFs and web links, how might you lay out clusters of that?
I can use semantic embeddings, but the two largest eigenvalues doesn't seem like enough info.
Also, what's the right granularity for those embeddings? More than folder name, I'd guess.
Maybe something involving distances in that space between each of the collections? What's the right algorithm for reducing that to 2D?
Elderly friend of mine gave up on Dan Lyke / comment 1
Elderly friend of mine gave up on recovering his Instagram account via a password change. The process led to a screen which asked him to log in on another device, or... and the "or" wasn't clickable.
So we abandoned it.
It's amazing that a company the size of Meta is fucking it up this badly.

surrealism escalates Dan Lyke / comment 0
@xgranade @whitequark One thing to remember is scammers may now actually be writing their bot code with Copilot so it is actually possible for them to literally be doing something that makes no sense and not know it.

Didn't think it needed more investigation, but... nature: Undocumented migration does not raise crime rates, huge study finds
Yale Study on universal health coverage Dan Lyke / comment 0
Duh: Yet another finding that the US would benefit from becoming a developed nation: Yale School of Public Health: Universal Health Coverage Could Save $1 Trillion and 114,000 Lives Every Year, Yale Study Projects
For the study, which has not yet been peer reviewed, the researchers modeled what would happen if the United States adopted a national public insurance program like the one proposed in the Medicare for All Act. Using 2024 spending, insurance coverage, and mortality data, they estimate that the universal coverage would reduce annual health expenditures by $1.04 trillion, or nearly 20% — even after accounting for the additional care that uninsured and underinsured people would receive.

Young People Hate AI CEOs So Passionately That It’s Almost Hard to Believe
Drawing from an CNBC poll, New CNBC Generation Lab poll shows almost half of 18- to 34-year-olds see democratic socialism positively
When given the names of nine key people in the AI industry and asked whether they trust each leader to act responsibly on AI, in each case a majority of respondents said they don’t. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella scored the best, with 65% reporting they don’t trust him. Palantir CEO Alex Karp scored the worst: 81% said they don’t trust him. About 75% of respondents said they don’t trust Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai and about the same percentage said they don’t trust Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk all scored about the same, each with about 70% of respondents saying they don’t trust them, and 79% said they don’t trust Palantir Chairman Peter Thiel.
Catching up on older links: Operator fatigue is a thing: Error by AI scribe during medical appointment leaves patient devastated, in which a transcription error snowballs.
Australia's peak regulator of medical practitioners, AHPRA, said clinicians must always check all output from an AI scribe for accuracy to ensure they meet their professional obligations. Ms Green said it was clear her doctor did not do this.
"If you had checked that letter you would have been able to correct that before it was sent out … why aren't you in tune with each of your patients and what's going on?"

Unexpected Findings Add New Insight on Cannabis and Heart Health
Habitual cannabis users experienced about 9% fewer premature heartbeats on days they inhaled cannabis compared with days they abstained, a counterintuitive finding that adds to the complex and evolving understanding of how cannabis affects the heart, new UC San Francisco-led research found.
