       @davidgerard https://www.ai-wellbeing.org/I cannot express how angry the recent push to consider the "wellbeing" of token generators (while ignoring the wellbeing of humans) makes me.

       @peter_mcmahan @davidgerard this definitely should be on top... I'm sick of hearing techbros talking about feelings of machines and software, at the same time mercilessly exploiting their workers, living and feeling human beings.

       @madargon @davidgerard I've been seeing an upsurge in this kind of discourse recently. Generally more discussion around "please dont be mean to the token generators" like this from Troy Hunt a couple of weeks ago https://www.troyhunt.com/weekly-update-501/

       @davidgerard @pikesley @peter_mcmahan @madargon Personally I am more into fucking nonlinear algebras because they have more interesting curves.

       @davidgerard @pikesley @peter_mcmahan @madargon They hate that actual human beings have the ability to tell them they're wrong and say no to their propositions, while with AI, the answer is always yes and in their eyes, true personhood is only ever granted to people who agree with them.They're so narcissistic that outside perspectives are never sought, nevermind considered, so it only stands to reason the thing they really want to fuck is a sycophantic virtual mirror, as free of morals as they are, only in it's case it's a quirk of design rather than an intentional choice.

       @davidgerard Maybe this bullshit: https://www.techdirt.com/2026/05/06/more-liability-will-make-ai-chatbots-worse-at-preventing-suicide/Apparently, demanding provider liability for chatbots' potentially terrible suicide prevention advice is a "moral panic", and also somehow makes the chatbot responses even worse...? 🤨🤔

       @haverholm @davidgerardHoly shit I hate this article so much I am too angry to write a coherent response, just, gah... "Some people even find chatbots to be more compassionate and understanding than human healthcare providers."Some providers are shit. We all know this.But the bot HAS ZERO CAPACITY FOR ANY COMPASSION OR UNDERSTANDING AT ALL, it is a fucking bot, it's a bot, your Furby doesn't understand you, Tickle Me Elmo doesn't possess compassion, wtf are we even doing when we're talking as if a bot is any substitute for human relationships?? And the jackasses writing these articles are looking at this like, "well we put a soft dummy in the monkey's cage and the monkey, TRAPPED IN A CAGE BY THE DESIGNERS OF THE DUMMY WHO MADE DAMNED SURE THE MONKEY HAS NO FREE TIME OR MONEY OR THIRD SPACES IN WHICH TO INTERACT WITH OTHER ACTUAL MONKEYS likes hugging it, so the dummy is providing meaningful important care and why would you take that away" In the comments people are pointing out the author is advocating letting the "AI" companies do wholly unregulated experiments on millions of people, but nobody is even bringing up yet the Network State shit the investors behind these tools are into. This shit is being brought to us by eugenicists who want to build digital gods using the last fresh water in a burning world, the same people who throw buttons at us that say "Remind me later" as if "no" isn't even a fucking option and we're expected to think they give one single damn about ethics??? Fuck this these bots are psychological WEAPONS, they're not designed to help anyone, they're outright fucking poison."Moral panic" seems to be a term getting tossed around a lot by people who think the whole idea of morality is silly.I work in mental health care. This entire situation is a nightmare.
