Thoughts on this? I hate LLM but I think this article does a disservice by depicting the victims as perfectly normal before their mental health collapsed. They must have had some kind of preexisting problems that got exacerbated by their use of ChatGPT.

The point about these chatbots being sycophantic is extremely true though. I am not sure whether they are designed to be this way--whether it is because it sells more or if LLMs are too stupid to be argumentative. I have felt its effects personally when using Deepseek. I have noticed that often in its reasoning section it will say something like "the user is very astute" and it feels good to read that as someone who is socially isolated and is never complimented because of that.

I guess the lesson here is to use these chatbots as tools rather than friends because they are not capable of being the latter. I have tried a few times having discussions about politics with Deepseek but it is a terrible experience because of the aforementioned predisposition to being sycophantic. It always devolves into being a yes man.

Hi everyone - as a previous context I’m an AI Program Manager at J&J and have been using Cursor for personal projects since March.

Yesterday I was migrating some of my back-end configuration from Express.js to Next.js and Cursor bugged hard after the migration - it tried to delete some old files, didn’t work at the first time and it decided to end up deleting everything on my computer, including itself. I had to use EaseUS to try to recover the data, but didn’t work very well also. Lucky I always have everything on my Google Drive and Github, but it still scared the hell out of me.

Now I’m allergic to YOLO mode and won’t try it anytime soon again. Does anyone had any issue similar than this or am I the first one to have everything deleted by AI?

Only one survivor. Really tragic.

I have played and enjoyed Persona 3, 4 and 5. While I don't like the themes and stories as such, the games are fun. I am giving Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance right now and it feels bleak and unfun. I haven't reached Tokyo Tower yet but should get there soon. Does it get better or should I consider dropping it?

Is the new Legendary Edition a marked improvement over the original version? I want to play it on a weaker computer so I don't care for graphics and stuff. But I might consider it has significant quality of life improvements like better controller support etc.

Here are the PRs that are created entirely by AI:

Devs are talking to the AI trying to get it to fix some mistakes. It's so cringe.

Found this on Hackner News and the comments were ruminating the tradeoffs between modern public ameneties and authoritarianism. Is this what authoritarianism looks like?

Pakistan has barred Indian registered aircrafts from using its airspace but it shouldn't apply to entities like Lufthansa and Air France. So they are probably doing this out of precaution.
