But when people with existing mental health struggles come into contact with a chatbot, it often seems to respond in precisely the worst way..."https://futurism.com/commitment-jail-chatgpt-psychosis

       Wandering into my feed to say, “Oh, but *I* use it and *I’m* okay!" is not going to get you anything but a big ol' block.Chrissakes, people. Respect yourselves more.

       From the above-linked article: "These people are powerful because they have names that are protected by the press. They are powerful because it is seen as unseemly to mock them because they are rich and “running a company,” a kind of corporate fealty that I find deeply unbecoming of an adult."

       @cstross I’ve come across the concept, yeah. It is both deeply hilarious and deeply unsettling, not to mention unsurprising once one really stops and thinks.

       @cstross A toddler that never sleeps. A toddler with claws and better fangs, that never sleeps. A toddler built like a slinky who can chew through your walls and never sleeps. A toddler with musk glands and more intelligence than it needs to destroy every item in your house AND NEVER SLEEPS.

       @cstross I welcome our new weasel overlords. Honestly they seem rather an improvement on current affairs...

       "Within about three minutes of the crash, the Model S uploaded a “collision snapshot”—video, CAN‑bus streams, EDR data, etc.—to Tesla’s servers, the “Mothership”, and received an acknowledgement. The vehicle then deleted its local copy, resulting in Tesla being the only entity having access."https://electrek.co/2025/08/04/tesla-withheld-data-lied-misdirected-police-plaintiffs-avoid-blame-autopilot-crash/

       I do not want to quote anything in particular from this article, but I *do* want to point out that unchecked, uncontrolled growth which steals resources from surrounding tissue is commonly called a tumor.https://fortune.com/2025/09/24/sam-altman-ai-empire-new-york-city-san-diego-scary/

       There is no “coming ‘AI’ revolution”. There’s a coming “AI” *crash*, where the grifters will flee with their gains and the rest of us will have to deal with the wreckage—especially of the internet which used to be useful and now is deeply infected with slop.That’s all.

       In other words, Meta doesn't care about fraud. They care only that they get their slice from the grift.
