what you are saying is not true

What is it that you think i'm saying, i'm annoyed because i just want to tan and i had to go inside to load this article and read and respond. why must notifications plague me so

Here's my opinion on llms: it is a useful technology, it is in a currently useful state, the people who say otherwise are ideologues and cranks who don't believe their lying eyes. despite this, except for perhaps chinese models, literally nothing they do is worth the environmental cost (although that could change (thanks to china if it does))

This doesn't mean: there's no problems with it, its output is always correct, or guard rails on it are sufficient

Im not reading that whole thing but from the get go it's clear the guy had issues independent of LLMs being flawed. He reacted immediately with not only "you're a person" with no push back on weird intimate indicators but also "yeah let's go!" when it starts "giving him spy missions"? Yeah he needed immediate therapy before even interacting with it. It's a tragedy but I do not think the LLM caused this independently of the users input and own personal psychology.

Idk what you think is incompatible here with what i said. It's a useful tool. Knives and guns are useful tools, they can also be used for self harm. Here he used it as a tool for roleplay, although he apparently didn't realize that's what he was doing. Weed can cause already present mental illness symptoms to worsen, that doesn't mean it can't have utility in other ways or for other people
