Approximately half of the people with schizophrenia don’t believe they are ill, which is why they refuse treatment (see: anosognosia). It is a very strange illness.

Depending who you believe, approximately half of them are unable to see they are ill (re: anosognosia).

It’s more complicated than that, re: anosognosia.

Maybe for some people. For me, they work perfectly and integrate with all my other Apple stuff (MBP, iphone, TV, iPad), everything just works. My stress levels demand it.

Yup. I’m not expert so maybe I’m completely off base, but if I were OpenAI or Anthropic I’d likely just hire 1000 highly skilled engineers across multiple disciplines, tell them to build something in their domain of expertise, then critique

Until a year ago I believed as the author did. Then LLMs got to the point where they sit in meetings like I do, make notes like I do, have a memory like I do, and their context window is expanding. Only issue I saw after a month of building

You can also argue that posting with a real name encourages you to reflect on your identity. Or do both. Also post anonymously to see what kind of a person you are when masked, and compare.

Seems like they ought to be dedicated security teams monitoring for exactly this: does a key to X give users access to not-X. Even more bizarre is their VDP team not immediately understanding the severity of the issue.

I’ve settled on the idea that my job as parent is to introduce my kid to a bunch of different things, help them process that information, but ultimately the decision of where they choose to focus their energy is up to them. I’m proud of wha

I didn’t really follow your argument about non-profits. Clearly the artists somehow managed to convince government to support the scheme, why can’t the same people form a non—profit and convince ordinary members of the public to support the

Thanks. That was exactly my question.
