I read anything I wanted to as a kid; I haunted the library on a regular basis and even used birthday/holiday money to buy books. I always read above my supposed age level and hundreds of pages was not a problem. Not all kids adapt well to reading but they should be allowed to read above their age.

Lucía Lobosvilla @Luci.... 2d Yes. I read it as a child. Because it's a children's book.
We keep lowering standards for children's media and then wonder why kids can't read or grasp complex concepts.
Running into words you don't know is part of the learning experience. Not an insurmountable obstacle.

That lone rider deserves a medal just for having to cope with being surrounded by all these abusive, cowardly turd boys. #fuckTrump #fuckbigots

Screengrab of post showing a photo of the inside of a subway. The white and blue cab is jammed with people. most are wearing black shirts and tan baseball caps with bigoted U.S. flag symbols used by Patriot Front. The cowards have covered their faces with wraparound white cloths and large shades because they're too cowardly to be a bigot who can be identified. One lone individual who visually tracks as a black woman, is the center of focus, with an impressively calm but wary expression is surrounded by these dipshits.

AI does, according to psychologists, contribute to and may become a cause of psychosis: nam.edu/news-and-ins...

How do you define AI psychosis? Can you talk about how it relates to internet-fueled psychosis more broadly?

There are really two types of AI psychosis.

One type is where someone who already has a psychotic disorder or schizophrenia engages with a large language model or chatbot and for some reason is convinced to stop their medication. That, of course, could lead to a decompensation—or the return of symptoms—and a psychotic break. That’s probably the more common type of AI psychosis, but we don’t hear about it as much in the media.

However, the type that we’re talking about more now is the type of AI psychosis in which the large language model or chatbot reinforces some sort of unusual idea. Not actually inducing or creating a delusional idea or an unusual idea but reinforcing an idea so that the person’s conviction level is increased. That increase could be from 1 to 2%, or 20 to 30%, or 65 to 67%, or 99 to 100%—and that’s the worst-case scenario because once you get to 100%, the psychosis is fixed and irreversible. A conviction level below 100% would technically be reversible.

So, when we talk about AI psychosis, we’re really talking about a large language model reinforcing some sort of unusual idea and increasing someone’s level of conviction.

Now, AI does other things very similar to psychosis. Although it’s not technically AI psychosis, we often include it under the rubric of AI psychosis: when a large language model influences or reinforces or induces thoughts of suicide. So, someone may enter some information related to suicide into a large language model or chatbot, then that is reinforced to the person, and then they have an episode in which they take their life. That’s technically not AI psychosis, but we consider it under the same umbrella because the same mechanism is at work.

How does this compare to what happened before AI chatbots existed? Has AI accelerated this phenomenon or just changed it?

The phenomenon of AI psychosis is quantitatively new and could be very dangerous, but qualitatively it’s very similar to what’s been happening for decades now since the advent of the internet.

This is very similar to, for example, when someone falls into rabbit holes online and just searches for topics around which they may harbor some unusual ideas. People often just fall down rabbit holes and receive the same type of reinforcement as they might from a chatbot. It’s not quite as strong, and the delivery isn’t as easy to internalize, but it’s the same sort of thing.

We also have social media, which can have a stronger influence than just internet searches. You have algorithms that can identify in what you’re interested and so present the information to you more quickly.

Now we have AI and large language models in which we have this system that, in very many ways, can mimic human intelligence. It’s extremely strong, responds very quickly, and responds like a human would respond. It’s easier for people to internalize. And so that’s why we’re so concerned about it now. We haven’t spoken about it as much in previous years or decades, but we’ve seen many patients have this sort of problem.

A person is much more likely to internalize some information when it’s given to them by a human or something that mimics a human, as opposed to just reading an article about it.

The law applies to everyone whether or not you know the law. Copyright violations can be taken to court and cost the copyright violator a shit ton of time and $$$$$$$$$$$. Copyright exists from the moment of creation and anyone who misuses or outright steals copyrighted work can be taken to court.

Chapter 5: Copyright Infringement and Remedies

501. Infringement of copyright3

(a) Anyone who violates any of the exclusive rights of the copyright owner as provided by sections 106 through 122 or of the author as provided in section 106A(a), or who imports copies or phonorecords into the United States in violation of section 602, is an infringer of the copyright or right of the author, as the case may be. For purposes of this chapter (other than section 506), any reference to copyright shall be deemed to include the rights conferred by section 106A(a). As used in this subsection, the term “anyone” includes any State, any instrumentality of a State, and any officer or employee of a State or instrumentality of a State acting in his or her official capacity. Any State, and any such instrumentality, officer, or employee, shall be subject to the provisions of this title in the same manner and to the same extent as any nongovernmental entity.

(b) The legal or beneficial owner of an exclusive right under a copyright is entitled, subject to the requirements of section 411, to institute an action for any infringement of that particular right committed while he or she is the owner of it. The court may require such owner to serve written notice of the action with a copy of the complaint upon any person shown, by the records of the Copyright Office or otherwise, to have or claim an interest in the copyright, and shall require that such notice be served upon any person whose interest is likely to be affected by a decision in the case. The court may require the joinder, and shall permit the intervention, of any person having or claiming an interest in the copyright.

(c) For any secondary transmission by a cable system that embodies a performance or a display of a work which is actionable as an act of infringement under subsection (c) of section 111, a television broadcast station holding a copyright or other license to transmit or perform the same version of that work shall,…

Photo of a prop Davros, a wrinkly creepy dude with a weird silver headset on his bald head sitting in a half dalek casing which is silver around the top, has silver bumps all over it and has a hard black casing underneath. Has been compared by some people to the bottom section of a pepper shaker.

"You should have told me!"

"Your mother made me swear not to. She never wanted you to think you were a mistake. I agreed—not to protect her, but to protect you. Vampires tend to go after the children of hunters who are in charge, not strategically useless strays."

What did Amon know when he went after me on that empty street? Did he know I was directly connected to the hunters whose town he lived in? Did he put the idea in Mama's head that she should call her one-night stand in search of a safer place to live?

I felt sick with anger. I could not wait to get the hell away from this town and all its tangles. "I came in here for paper towels, not to have my family tree ripped out at the roots. I have to go take care of Juliet."

"I'm sorry it came out this way. I meant to wait."

"For when? Graduation? My wedding? The day your first grandkid was born?"

"For when you might be old enough to forgive me."

"That might be never." I turned and left.
