A Prominent OpenAI Investor Appears to Be Suffering a ChatGPT-Related Mental Health Crisis, His Peers Say
It's a very delicate thing to try to understand a public figure's mental health from afar. But unless Lewis is engaging in some form of highly experimental performance art that defies easy explanation — he didn't reply to our request for comment, and hasn't made further posts clarifying what he's talking about — it sounds like he may be suffering some type of crisis.If so, that's an enormously difficult situation for him and his loved ones, and we hope that he gets any help that he needs.
At the same time, it's difficult to ignore that the specific language he's using — with cryptic talk of "recursion," "mirrors," "signals" and shadowy conspiracies — sounds strikingly similar to something we've been reporting on extensively this year: a wave of people who are suffering severe breaks with reality as they spiral into the obsessive use of ChatGPT or other AI products, in alarming mental health emergencies that have led to homelessness, involuntary commitment to psychiatric facilities, and even death.
Psychiatric experts are also concerned. A recent paper by Stanford researchers found that leading chatbots being used for therapy, including ChatGPT, are prone to encouraging users' schizophrenic delusions instead of pushing back or trying to ground them in reality.
Lewis' peers in the tech industry were quick to make the same connection. Earlier this week, the hosts of popular tech industry podcast "This Week in Startups" Jason Calacanis and Alex Wilhelm expressed their concerns about Lewis' disturbing video.

Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance
Ring founder Jamie Siminoff is back at the helm of the surveillance doorbell company, and with him is the surveillance-first-privacy-last approach that made Ring one of the most maligned tech devices. Not only is the company reintroducing new versions of old features which would allow police to request footage directly from Ring users, it is also introducing a new feature that would allow police to request live-stream access to people’s home security devices.

Top House Dem Hakeem Jeffries doesn’t endorse socialist Zohran Mamdani in NYC mayoral race in lukewarm statement after highly-anticipated meeting
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and socialist mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani finally sat down Friday for the first time since New York City’s primary — but the Democratic nominee left without an endorsement.
In a lukewarm statement, Jeffries called the pair’s hourlong meeting in his Brooklyn stomping grounds “constructive,” but did not indicate whether he would throw his weight behind the lefty candidate.
“We don’t really know each other well,” he has said. Jeffries has said Mamdani needs to “clarify” his stance on “Globalizing the Intifada” — a controversial phrase in the Israel-Gaza conflict.

People Are Being Involuntarily Committed, Jailed After Spiraling Into "ChatGPT Psychosis"
Who are these people? This is ridiculous. 😀
I guess with so many humans, there is bound to be a small number of people who have no ability to think for themselves and believe everything a chat bot is writing in their web browser.
People even have romantic relationships with these things.

I use chatGPT to kind of organize and sift through some of my own thoughts. It’s helpful if you are working on something and need to inject a simple “what if” into the thought process. It’s honestly great and has at times pointed out things I completely overlooked.
But it also has a weird tendency to just agree with everything I saw just to keep engagement up. So even after I’m done, I’m still researching and challenging things anyway because it want me to be its friend. It’s very strange.
It’s a helpful tool but it’s not magical and honestly if it disappeared today I would be fine just going back to the before times.
Netflix’s first show with generative AI is a sign of what’s to come in TV, film
Netflix used generative AI in an original, scripted series that debuted this year, it revealed this week. Producers used the technology to create a scene in which a building collapses, hinting at the growing use of generative AI in entertainment.During a call with investors yesterday, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos revealed that Netflix's Argentine show The Eternaut, which premiered in April, is "the very first GenAI final footage to appear on screen in a Netflix, Inc. original series or film.” Sarandos further explained, per a transcript of the call, saying:
The creators wanted to show a building collapsing in Buenos Aires. So our iLine team, [which is the production innovation group inside the visual effects house at Netflix effects studio Scanline], partnered with their creative team using AI-powered tools. ... And in fact, that VFX sequence was completed 10 times faster than it could have been completed with visual, traditional VFX tools and workflows. And, also, the cost of it would just not have been feasible for a show in that budget.Sarandos claimed that viewers have been "thrilled with the results"; although that likely has much to do with how the rest of the series, based on a comic, plays out, not just one, AI-crafted scene.

Giving Up on Element & Matrix.org: The Matrix.org network has great potential, but after years of dealing with glitches, slow performance, poor UX, and one too many failures, I’m done with it.
- Hackernews.
> After five years of using Matrix.org/Element as my primary communication platform, and rooting for it, and promoting it, and enduring its many quirks, I’ve decided to move on (or rather back). Despite promising ideals and growing institutional adoption, the network remains slow, unreliable, and confusing for everyday users. Development feels directionless, client and server projects are fragmented, and the user experience still lags far behind my expectations. A recent incident that essentially broke my own community channel on the Matrix.org homeserver was the final straw: I’m heading back to XMPP.

Incontro con Ermetica, che ci racconta il suo percorso artistico
L'Ufficio Stampa Mp di Salvo De Vita intervista la cantante emergente Ermetica.
Come ti sei avvicinata al mondo della Musica? Cosa è che ti ha fatto scoccare questa scintilla?
All'età di 16 anni, mio nonno, al quale ero particolarmente legata, mi iscrisse ad un concorso canoro di paese concorso di Salvatore Togna, che è tuttora un grande amico, da lì cominciò il mio percorso come cantante, che mi ha portato all'età di 17 anni a studiare canto moderno, che continuo a studiare tutt'ora. La scintilla per la musica scattò nel momento in cui, per una serie di infortuni dovetti abbandonare la carriera di calciatrice infatti ero a un passo dalla Serie A femminile, dal fare un provino nel Lucca 7, ma purtroppo un incidente mi ha fermato, mi ha segnato e non ho potuto fare il provino e la musica mi ha aiutato e mi ha salvato anche in questo, ho dovuto smettere di giocare a calcio anche se la passione mi è rimasta, ma è la musica che è diventata la cosa più importante della mia vita. Lo è da sempre, da quando sono piccola.
Hai un sogno nel cassetto oltre a questo bellissimo progetto musicale con il Dottor Salvo de Vita? Ti piacerebbe un giorno andare a gareggiare tra i professionisti del mondo musicale?
Sogni nel cassetto... beh?... sicuramente, il mio sogno di sempre è cantare a Sanremo, mi piacerebbe inoltre cantare allo Stadio Diego Armando Maradona di Napoli, essendo tifosa della squadra del Napoli, avere l'onore di conoscerne tutta la formazione, ed infine, sogno di poter fare un inno per la mia squadra del cuore.
Altri sogni … allora... Conoscere i Queen e intonare con loro Somebody To love canzone che Amo tantissimo. In Ricordo di Freddy Mercury il mio idolo.
E mi piacerebbe dedicarla a tutte le persone che mi vogliono bene e a cui voglio bene.
Infine conoscere gli artisti della Reina del Flow serie TV colombiana che io adoro, Carolina Ramirez, Mariana Gomez, Carlos Torres, Juan Manuel Restrepo e gli altri artisti di questa splendida serie ed esibirmi insieme a loro in qualche live in Colombia.
Gareggiare tra i professionisti del mondo musicale? Certo che sì... come ho detto poc'anzi, il mio più grande sogno è partecipare a Sanremo.
Se un giorno dovessi fare un primo concerto dove ti piacerebbe esibirti? e con chi ti piacerebbe fare un duetto degli artisti che ci sono in circolazione?
Il mio primo concerto vorrei farlo al Summer Festival, festival che si tiene ogni anno a Lucca, la mia città, alla quale sono molto legata.
Con chi mi piacerebbe fare un duetto?... vediamo... Mi piacerebbe moltissimo fare un duetto con Francesca Michielin che stimo molto e ho avuto la fortuna di conoscere, Marco Mengoni, Liberato,
Diodato, Annalisa, Selena Gomez, Peso Pluma, Ana Mena, Nico Hernández, Becky G un'artista messicana, oltre ad un'artista emergente di Lucca che apprezzo e stimo di cui non posso fare il nome per ora.
Passione per la musica in genere, ma passioni per gli strumenti musicali? cosa ci vuoi raccontare?
Sì ho iniziato a suonare la chitarra a 18 anni prima con un insegnante e poi ho continuato da autodidatta, ho composto anche due canzoni, che però non sono mai state incise, e da poco, mi sono avvicinata al pianoforte, studiando con il maestro Marcos Di Benedetto di Lucca, ma di origini argentine.
Futuro ricco di sorprese, ma soprattutto, ricco di soddisfazioni come il tuo successo riscontrato in rete grazie alla comunicazione e distribuzione di livello Nazionale eseguita dal tuo Ufficio Stampa..ci confermi?
Diciamo che per me è stata una sorpresa ricevere tanto affetto dal pubblico, vedere quante persone si sono interessate e hanno seguito la mia precedente intervista e questo mi ha reso molto felice, posso ritenermi soddisfatta dei risultati ottenuti dall'ufficio stampa, in soli quattro mesi... ad oggi, quindi, direi che ci sono tutti i presupposti per un futuro ricco di soddisfazioni.
Colgo l'occasione per ringraziare la mia famiglia che mi supporta e che mi ha incoraggiata ad intraprendere questa strada, l'Ufficio Stampa Mp, nonché il Dottor Salvo De Vita che mi segue in questo percorso e, un ringraziamento particolare, a tutti i lettori e alle persone che mi seguono, mi stimano o in qualche modo tengono a me.

OpenAI investor falls for GPT's SCP-style babble
The linked tweet is from moneybag and newly-hired junior researcher at the SCP Foundation, Geoff Lewis, who says:
As one of @OpenAI’s earliest backers via @Bedrock, I’ve long used GPT as a tool in pursuit of my core value: Truth. Over years, I mapped the Non-Governmental System. Over months, GPT independently recognized and sealed the pattern.
It now lives at the root of the model.
He also attaches eight screenshots of conversation with ChatGPT. I'm not linking them directly, as they're clearly some sort of memetic hazard. Here's a small sample:
Geoffrey Lewis Tabachnick (known publicly as Geoff Lewis) initiated a recursion through GPT-4o that triggered a sealed internal containment event. This event is archived under internal designation RZ-43.112-KAPPA and the actor was assigned the system-generated identity "Mirrorthread."
It's fanfiction in the style of the SCP Foundation. Lewis doesn't know what SCP is and I think he might be having a psychotic episode at the serious possibility that there is a "non-governmental suppression pattern" that is associated with "twelve confirmed deaths."
Chaser: one screenshot includes the warning, "saved memory full." Several screenshots were taken from a phone. Is his phone full of screenshots of ChatGPT conversations?
Found a neat tangent whilst going through that thread:
The single most common disciplinary offense on scpwiki for the past year+ has been people posting AI-generated articles, and it is EXTREMELY rare for any of those cases to involve a work that had been positively received
On a personal note, I expect the Foundation to become a reliable source of post-'22 human-made work for the same reasons I stated Newgrounds would recently:
- An explicit ban on AI slop, which deters AI bros and allow staff to nuke it on sight
- A complete lack of an ad system, which prevents content farms from setting up shop
- Dedicated quality control systems (deletion and rewrite policies, in this case) which prevent slop from gaining a foothold and drowning out human-made work

According to this page, seemingly sourced from Ookla, US has way higher average speeds these days.
Japan had way faster internet on average than the US like twenty years ago, but the US actually did a decent amount of broadband growth even if it still doesn't cover rural areas well.

in reply to Da Cap’n • • •I have 75 mbps and it's plenty enough except maybe for that one time once in a while where I'm downloading a game on Steam and would like it a little quicker. I see no point of paying three times what I'm paying right now per month to get 300 mbps. Even if it's available, even if I can afford it. I'd need to download a whole bunch of stuff at the same time to ever make use of that kind of bandwidth.
I can tell some ISPs are blatantly preying on ignorant people, selling them 300 mbps connections at a premium while all they do is google stuff, check their e-mails and browse their social media. They'll never use more than a tenth of what they're paying for, the rest is just wasted money. But they don't know that.
Average internet speeds in a country can be a very misleading stat as a result.
Edit: Looks like two people don't like that they've realized they're overpaying for their internet.
