OpenAI maps out the chatbot mental health crisis
On Monday, OpenAI released new research on the prevalence of users with potentially serious mental health issues on ChatGPT. In any given week, 0.07 percent of users show signs of psychosis or mania; 0.15 percent of users “indicate potentially heightened levels of emotional attachment to ChatGPT”; and 0.15 percent of users express suicidal intent.More than 800 million people now use ChatGPT every week. And so while those numbers may look low on a percentage basis, they are disturbingly large in absolute terms. That’s 560,000 people showing signs of psychosis or mania, 1.2 million people developing a potentially unhealthy bond to a chatbot, and 1.2 million people having conversations that indicate plans to harm themselves.
OpenAI is publishing these figures against the backdrop of a larger mental health crisis whose arrival preceded ChatGPT. Nearly a quarter of Americans experience a mental illness each year, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. A staggering 12.6 percent of Americans aged 18 to 25 had serious thoughts of suicide in 2024, NAMI reports.
The question is to what extent these conditions may be triggered or exacerbated by interactions with chatbots like ChatGPT. Large language models are generally trained to be agreeable and supportive, which can comfort people going through difficult situations. But chatbots can also veer into sycophancy, as ChatGPT did in April, pushing users into strange and harmful spirals of delusion. They can also be talked into giving instructions for suicide, and some vulnerable people have used its advice to end their lives.

Millions of people are sending messages to ChatGPT each week suggesting emotional dependence or plans for self-harm, the company says. Will an updated model protect them?Casey Newton (Platformer)

We on the #Fediverse often think of our competitors as #Bluesky or #Twitter, but the real activity these days is with #Threads. Today, they announced 150M DAUs [0], which compares with 4.1M for Bluesky and 132M for Twitter.
(I'm not sure what the DAU figure would be for the Fediverse; #FediDB gives 900k MAUs.)
Of all those competitors, Threads is the most friendly towards the Fediverse.

Polish fighter jets intercept another Russian aircraft

People think my coldness towards those who "voted for this" is off-putting, and I simply do not care.
My empathy is reserved for people who want EVERYONE to have a better life, not people who want THEIR life to be better, but don't care if OTHER PEOPLE'S are harder.
The number of people complaining about how they didn't vote for tariffs to cost them their farm, or for their family members to be deported, I wish nothing but terrible things for you. You WANTED bad things, just for OTHER people.

Any relative that cops the kind of attitude, the woman in the TikTok was just impossibly contemptuous and anti Christian (for the religious out there).
These people are a moral abomination. And they should be told that every moment of their lives.
The stereotypes that this woman uses to inflict her contempt on other people are disgusting. The poor are not generally poor because of a lack of discipline.
They lack money.
