okay something I can’t believe I never thought of before

in the canonical universe of The Matrix movies, when you jack into the matrix, you appear as your own residual self image. does this mean that a furry could appear as their fursona? I really feel like this angle needs to be explored. or what if tulpas are real and they’re malicious viruses that hack into your brain. where’s the fanfiction at

you don't have to read the article because it's upsetting but i will include the opening paragraphs via spoiler (it's upsetting)



this is the kind of sociopathy that can happen when none of this poo poo is regulated. i dunno what form it would take but there has to be something, something that can stop these freaks

In fairness to the creator, they probably just typed "adorable little girl" into the box and the program went, oh, you mean white

The chatbot, named Tessa, is described as a “wellness chatbot” and has been in operation since February 2022. The Helpline program will end starting June 1, and Tessa will become the main support system available through NEDA. Helpline volunteers were also asked to step down from their one-on-one support roles and serve as “testers” for the chatbot. According to NPR, which obtained a recording of the call where NEDA fired helpline staff and announced a transition to the chatbot, Tessa was created by a team at Washington University’s medical school and spearheaded by Dr. Ellen Fitzsimmons-Craft. The chatbot was trained to specifically address body image issues using therapeutic methods and only has a limited number of responses.

Honestly that sounds like a charity mid-collapse. Can't afford to pay the staff, only the managers. Chatbot instead of a crisis line. Pretty soon they'll be one of those charities that don't do anything, except "raise awareness" through fundraising. The fundraising of course going to pay the CEO and fundraising team.

A chatbot just absolutely cannot perform the only mission-critical task of a crisis line, so if a crisis line is trying to replace its functioning tools with a broken toy, they probably meant to wrap up the whole operation months ago.

So far AIs seem to fall into 3 categories: 1) toys that are of mild interest that for some reason get talked about as if they're the next atom bomb 2) computer programs that let management do do whatever they wanted to do anyway but with less transparency and/or more speed 3) surprisingly useful industrial algorithms that don't get reported in the news because they're nerd poo poo.

I think we're fairly late in this chatbot hype cycle at this point. Not quite at the funny youtube expose or dark comedy journalism parts unfortunately, but the steam's gonna run out sooner rather than later on this one. Wondering what next unpromising dead-end tech the kind of people who bought into the pivot to video and NFTs will come up with next.

I'm confused by the conversation in the images. Their doctor said to lose weight but the therapist said not to "focus on" weight loss?

What advice are you supposed to give in this situation? Why is it wrong to say "Yes, it is important that you lose weight" if that's what the doctor said?

Is the doctor line supposed to be a lie that gets called out? Is it supposed to be taken as true but ignored because the eating disorder is more important?

Cup Runneth Over posted:

Telling someone with an eating disorder to lose weight in a healthy way is akin to telling a clinically depressed person to cheer up.

Dylan16807 posted:

In general yes, but what do you say in response to the doctor line? Are you supposed to refuse to agree with what the doctor said?
