That’s the same flawed reasoning Kirk flaunted when discussing gun laws. It ultimately proved to be wrong; as in it’s all fine and “Vulcanian Logical” until you or your close ones become the statistic
"People with real questions get roped in by an enthusiastically confirming sycophantic model that will never question or push back, just confirm and lead on."

I read that, but still fail to see evidence of a concrete "disaster". For example, are we seeing a huge wave of suicides that are statistical outliers triggered by using Chatbots? Or maybe the worry (unsubstantiated) is that there's a lagging effect and the disaster is approaching.
I suspect the outcomes are going to be less catastrophic; specifically, it seems to me that more people will have access to a much better level of support than they could get with a therapist (who is not available 24/7, who has less to draw upon, is likely too expensive, etc.). Even if there's an increase in some harm, my instinct from first principles is that the net benefit will be clear.
This isn’t accurate though, the models do push back and do question.
I would say ChatGPT is way way better than the average therapist. I’ve seen maybe between 15-20 psychotherapists over the course of my life and ChatGPT is better than 85% of them I would wager.
I’ve had a therapist recommend me take a motorbike trek across Europe (because that’s what he did) to cure my depression.
I think people tend to radically overestimate the skills of the average therapist, many are totally fucking shit.

When I try to help people in support group/ therapy group although I am not a therapist, I also try to explain how I fixed my issues or how I do so.
I feel like, that isn't bad take to be really honest in the sense that I personally feel like there are times when we lose the fact that our lives have purpose and your therapist grappled with it by having a unitary goal for himself
If you felt like that was a bad idea, just tell him that what is the thing that they got out of the motorbike trek race that cured their depression, I'd be more curious about that. Considering, maybe then I can try to see if my life has/had the same problems and what is the common theme and discussing about it later.
Personally I feel like Chatgpt is extremely sycophantic and I feel really weird interacting with it. For one, I really like interacting with humans atleast in the therapy mindset I suppose.
But telling someone living in New York with a full-time job and a girlfriend etc, that the solution to their depression is to quit their job and take several months to travel across Europe on a motorbike isn't exactly practical advice. Which was my point.
I could get better advice by asking an LLM what to do about my depression.
Ah context matters.. for someone currently single lets say with no jobs and feeling lack of purpose, it wouldn't have been so bad. Maybe tried to self project with different context and I mean, its understandable why you might feel this way regarding him
I still doubt asking an LLM about depression if I am being honest, I just don't think its the best thing overall or something that should be considered norm I suppose but I am not sure as even in things like these context matters.
> I mean, that question is already well answered within the first (opening) comment of marsf,
No, it's not. Half of the listed reasons are obvious enough, but the half is very vague. I don't know if they are something you would understand as an insider, but as an outsider there would be many open questions if it would be my task to make this work.
The whole communication seems like people on one or both sides lacking information, and one trying to fix this to start the process for solving the other sides' problem. Nothing wrong with this in a professional environment.
Christ what an ugly kludge. Just spend a weekend in Amsterdam and check out the Tenways and the Vanmoof roaming the streets for an idea how to do it, if not right, at least decently
If manufacturing is to return to the USA, it will be as fully automated as technically possible. So forget about jobs, there won't remotely be as many as needed to "reboot the working class"
The effect of weakening the dollar is not to return manufacturing jobs to the US while allowing the same dollars to buy the same products. It's to make imported goods more expensive so domestically produced ones win out in the marketplace, both in and outside of the US. To make you switch because your favorite products become too expensive.
It's to make you chose Californian wine over French one, so to speak. Whether you are in the US or elsewhere.
If technological advancement is going to kill the working class, this might slightly accelerate that development but it does not change it one way or the other.
I still don’t understand the point of all this exercise. In the long run, without a fairer redistribution of wealth within US society (which isn’t going to happen with these polices and the politicians pushing them) forcing re-shoring will still result in higher prices overall: expensive Made in USA products, and expensive imports due to a weak dollar. So why?
Oh nice, thanks for mentioning UGREEN. I had a quick look at the website and it looks fairly cheap. I wouldn't trust their software but the base system comes on an MMC, does it mean I can flash it with TrueNAS or Unraid?
Yes, their units come with a HDMI out, and you can connect them up to install onto them like any other server - but if you ever want the (admittedly very, very good) factory software back on them I'd recommend imaging the internal storage first as I couldn't find a way to get their OS installed back afterwards.
While I'm using UGOS happily, yes you can install other OSes. For better or worse they have a very active Discord server with a ton of great information.
The base software is modified Debian Bookworm and it's been stable and pleasant to use.
