  Ceccanti had been communicating with OpenAI’s chatbot for a few years. He used it initially as a tool to brainstorm ways to build a path to low-cost housing for his community in Clatskanie, Oregon, but eventually turned to it as a confidante. He would spend 12 hours a day typing to the bot, according to his wife. He had cut himself off from it after she, along with his friends, realized he was spiraling into beliefs that were detached from reality

  Sad ending. Crazy how extremism works.

    We invented a machine that tells you what you want to hear. Should be fine.

  I wander how this compares to other things like YT, 4chan, flatearthers, pseudo-science and so on. What % of people that have contact with it end up with serous mental issues?

  Makes me wonder if something like this happened in the Whitehouse, and now we’re bombing Iran.
