Also, if the outcome is worse by informing, doesn't that imply a violation of "first, do no harm"? Which, to be fair, the OP says they wouldn't prioritize...


Depends on how you interpret: "First do no harm". Is that an obligation to minimize the harm to an individual patient? Or is the goal to maximize the health of many patients? Like I've said elsewhere, medical reasoning is subtle.


> Choosing to park my car correctly because I used get tickets is a reactive action.

How do you explain someone who chooses to park correctly and has never received a parking ticket?


Why do I need to? I didn’t propose some framework to analyze people who are perfect.

This thread chain is about people who do something and it doesn’t work out.


Could your parking have been better? How so?

If you answered "no" to the above question then you answered wrong. This is true for s/parking/*/ because perfect doesn't exist.


More of a labhome than a homelab at that point.


> It's emergent complexity, not compression.

I would try it now with GPT-5.1.


In what ways to ad tech firms or non-profits use algorithms to assign you any kind of score that matters for your life?


A lot of that funding in the US goes to pay teachers money they then use to pay for health insurance -- which in other countries is often provided by the tax base at large and not counted as an education expense.


> Their unions were also destroyed.

By policy changes giving unions less power, enacted by politicians that were mostly voted for by a majority, which is mostly composed of the working class. Was this people voting against their interests? (Almost literally yes, but you could argue that their ideological preference for weaker unions trumps their economic interest in stronger unions.)


If your choices in an election are pre-selected, was it democratic?


"Thus, a caste system makes a captive of everyone within it."


Thinking that a text completion algorithm is your friend, or can be your friend, indicates some detachment from reality (or some truly extraordinary capability of the algorithm?). People don't have that reaction with other algorithms.

Maybe what we're really debating here isn't whether it's psychosis on the part of the human, it's whether there is something "there" on the part of the computer.


Yes, Chatbot psychosis been studied, and there's even a wikipedia article on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatbot_psychosis


From that article, it doesn’t sound like it’s been studied at all. It sounds like at the current stage it’s hypothesis + anecdotes.
