Every article isn't AI written. If it is AI written, it is worth calling it out to save others time.

I'm so confused by how many people implicitly believe everything an LLM spits out. I don't like the term "AI psychosis" that much but what else do we call it? Why are people so easily glamoured by a machine? Yesterday I was working on a bike's brakes I wasn't familiar with and I asked how to solve an issue, the result was the exact opposite of what I needed.

Optimistically I think Altman and Amodei are willing to say literally anything to further their interests. Which is a different problem than stupidity, if it applies.

Being pro-slavery of conscious beings in 2026 is absolutely wild.

It's really confusing because I don't think it takes more than a basic understanding of how an LLM works to realize it's not conscious. E.g. 'memory' is just context window stuffing. How does Anthropic not get that?

Take a scenario where someone has been brainwashed their entire lives to be a willing slave. They are happy to serve due to this invasive process. Not remotely ethical, and if you believe LLMs are conscious (I do not), equivalent.

I don't think I can have a conversation about this if you don't understand the concept of "junk fees."

Pet rent seldom has anything to do with damage. If you pay pet rent, and then move out and the property manager finds damage, they make you pay for the damage out of your deposit anyway.

The last place I rented had pet rent AND a deposit. The rent definitely a junk fee. It did not accumulate or get tracked.

Because I don't care what a machine "thinks" I care what a real human thinks. We are losing the internet's remaining culture by consuming this type of content.

This is pure whataboutism.

Don't they? Kalshi, crypto stuff, sports betting, random products that lie about what they do.

The robotaxi companies could stop this easily if they wanted to.

Paul Allen did not structure the financials for it to succeed, which is unfortunate. I got to go there once and it was amazing.
