For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines

this is just basic psychological self defense.
ads - not all ads, but many ads - want to make you FEEL BAD.
they want to create in you a feeling of loss, a feeling of absence, that they can promise to fill with their product.

You would be upset to learn how many little fun factoids you've taken to heart were actually just made up by some guy online 20 years ago back when no one bothered fact checking stuff.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

this is some evil shit they're doing. I know they hire some good people and still do a lot of genuinely great journalism but when they produce this kind of sick propaganda and mix it in with genuine news it undermines anything positive they might be producing. They simply can't be trusted.

A good Monday to all!
I was trying to exhaust all my other options, but I'm at the point where I can no longer wait. I made a GoFundMe to hopefully catch me up with rent so I don't get evicted. Please, if you can spare or share, I'd really appreciate it so much

I genuinely don't know how to process this. It seems unthinkable that deliberate, calculated mass starvation is just... happening. In full view. It's impossible and yet real.
World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...
World Central Kitchen | WCK Forced to Halt Cooking in Gaza as Supplies Run Out
After serving more than 130 million total meals and 26 million loaves of bread over the past 18 months, World Central Kitchen no longer has the supplies to cook meals or bake bread in Gaza.
