What? This style of site uses 1/3 of the page to display 3 icons. It was definitely a trend, but sites used to contain better information density prior to this marketing style trash site.

I worked on getting [Omnivore]( https://github.com/omnivore-app/omnivore ) from cloud to self hosting. I never appreciated the value of Self-hosting until then. I was so sick of finding new services to do essentially the

So, if I'm understanding this correctly. The latest ChatGPT features are... That it can now message me without me talking to it, and can automatically buy things for me.

And that it often spits out the exact same wrong answer in response.

1000% As I said in my comment. I never thought I'd be better. I am. I am happy and I live a worthwhile life. In the throws of intense depression it's hard to even wake up. The idea that I was acting in my right mind, and was able

OpenAI has the ability to detect whether a conversation is about a certain topic. It has the ability to end a conversation, or, if you think that is too much, it has the ability to prominently display information. My preference would be tha

I clearly didn't claim that. My own depression was multifaceted, stemming from genetics, upbringing, social isolation. And the help I got was also multifaceted and involved identifying all those causes. Does it not give you pause when

Take a step back and think about what the Model told that Teenager. It told him to specifically hide his behaviour from people who would have tried to prevent it and get him help. There is no comparison to therapists. Because a therapist wo

What? Is this deliberately obtuse? Books are not granted freedom of speech, authors are. Their method is books. This is like saying sound waves are not granted freedom of speech. Unless you're suggesting there's a man sat behind e

This is probably fair - My experience comes both from the UK (where it was admittedly worse, but not that much) and the Netherlands - where it was fantastic. Even in the worst experiences, I had a followup appointment in 2, 4 and 6 weeks to

Not my experience at all. The Psych that prescribed me antidepressants was _incredibly_ diligent. Including with side effects that affected my day to day life like loss of Libido. We spent a long time finding something, but when we did it w

There was a fascinating article I read a while back about Sylvia Plath, and the idea that she likely wouldn't have commited suicide a few years later due to the removal of that method. It was mostly about the access of guns in the US,

I don't know this for sure, but also I'm fairly sure that google make a concerted effort to not expose that information. Again, from experience. It's very hard to google a painless way to kill yourself. Their SEO ranking actu

Fair enough, I do agree with that actually. I guess my point is that I don't believe they're making any real attempt actually. I think there are more deterministic ways to do it. And better patterns for pointing people in the righ

The suicidal ideation of Antidepressants is a well communicated side effect. Antidepressants are prescribed by trained medical professionals who will tell you, encourage you to tell them if these side effects occur, and will encourage you t

Thank you. I am glad too, I sought help, and I got better. I think the state of mental health care is abysmal in a lot of places, and so I get the impulse to try to find help where ever you can. It's why this story actually hit me quit

Further than they went. Google search results hide advice on how to commit suicide, and point towards more helpful things. He was talking EXPLICITLY about killing himself.

Counseling is (or should be) heavily regulated, and if a counselor had given advice about the logistics of whether a noose would hold it's weight, they'd probably be prosecuted. They allowed this. They could easily stop conversati

I have looked suicide in the eyes before. And reading the case file for this is absolutely horrific. He wanted help. He was heading in the direction of help, and he was stopped from getting it. He wanted his parents to find out about his pl

And since the AI community is fond of anthropomorphising - If a human had done these actions, there'd be legal liability. There have been such cases in the past. Where the coercion and suicide has been prosecuted.

I think the biggest problem with both technologies is how many people seem to think this. Crypto was a way that people who think they’re brilliant can engage in gambling. AI is a way for “smart” people to create language to make their opini

…they already used other versions of ChatGPT. I doubt very much apple had any say over the personality of GPT-5. And if it did, it’d be in the prompt it sends over to ChatGPT - not in the training and reinforcement part.

I just don’t know that you’d name that 5. The jump from 3 to 4 was huge. There was an expectation for similar outputs here. Making it cheaper is a good goal - certainly - but they needed a huge marketing win too.
