I mean, it's entirely possible that psychosis has, indeed, happened a few times, it's not impossible that the gaslighting could trigger something. Just like with Howard Hughes. But it's the exception.
Neither is being so incredibly incorrect that you think that is what is happening with AI. Delusions aren't beliefs that are incorrect, they are things you believe in regardless of reasonable counter evidence. (Hell, they don't even technically have to be wrong.)
Simply choosing to believe one authority, an authority that you work closely with and trust and is your friend, over other people, is not a delusion.
No it doesn't. The requirement for something to a delusion requires more definitive evidence that they reject.
It's hard to think of what could be more definitive than 'a self-aware machine with the entire sum of human knowledge'.
Also, psychosis requires more than delusions.
It also, for the record, leaves out a bunch of people with schizoid personality disorder, who simply see no point in therapy and likely cannot connect with a therapist regardless.
One consequence of the White House being irrecoverably high on its own supply is that they seem to keep forgetting who started this war (it was us) and whether they were forced into it (it was a random surprise attack). Thus all the various complaints of things going wrong hit a little different.
To be fair, the plans probably did not account for the possibility of randomly attacking Iran and killing the leadership.
Contingency plans are for things that happen to you, or things you can't avoid doing because of other things.
You don't make contingency plans for yourself being an idiot.
... Pretty sure doing a Nazi salute, in full view of the entire United States, _is_ a crash out.
The fact that it isn't is a problem with society, but that doesn't change the underlying fact that no one would think that was reasonable if they had literally any feedback in their life.
The personality disorder is when the feedback I'm getting is entirely positive, the most positive possible, which changes how I react to things and think about things.
It's sort of like a cult, if the only one in the cult was yourself and a mirror.
Believing that is not a psychosis, or even a personality disorder. If I look up something about physics and some japster has replaced the Wikipedia page with total nonsense, and I read it and don't know enough to disbelieve it, so I believe it, that doesn't make anything wrong with how I think.
Indeed, it's misleading the call what they believe 'delusions' to start with, a delusion is a belief that persists despite people being shown overwhelming evidence otherwise.
They are being presented with overwhelming evidence (which is entirely made up) in FAVOR of their wrong beliefs.
This is not, in any way, psychosis.
It is something akin to paranoid personality disorder, with a hint of schizotypical personality disorder.
Although neither of those is quite exact. It's something new.
A diagnosis of psychosis would require a level of delusion that these people do not show.
Oh good, the person who decided to image quote tweet me, and misrepresent my ideas, and also restrictive reply so I couldn't reply there, has now decided to block me.
As, again, literally evidenced by the people who are having breakdowns due to AIs doing exactly that.
Because they have that happen to their brain too, but then they have to live in the real world, unlike billionaires, who never leave.
This changes your brain, in ways that make it hard to function outside those circumstances.
And like it or not, being constantly gaslit about how awesome you are, with no one even slightly wincing at anything you do or say or think, is not an ideal circumstance to be in, and does that too.
Personality disorders, as currently understood, are not any sort of biological issue, although they can be influenced by biology.
They are maladaptive behavior patterns, usually taught by a person being in...non-ideal circumstances, I guess is the best way to say it.
But regardless of the fact that billionaires have, almost to a one, developed a personality disorder...they, like everyone who has a PD, are still responsible for how they affect people.
And I also literally point out that they are being gaslit constantly, and in fact would be a little sympathetic... If, you know, they weren't doing what they were doing.
Indeed, the people who are tricked by AIs are in basical the exact same boat, and aren't bad people.
Or, alternately, I actually am using words I know the meaning of. I actually am 100% aware of what a personality disorder is.
Because I literally have one. I am schizoid.
But this person has decided to conflate the post I'm quoting, which calls it AI psychosis, with me, who does not call it that.
*hold finger to earpiece*
Sorry, I'm being told something.
*turns away*
... What happened? How many dead?
... No, but I can't say that.
... Yes, that's true, but that... I can't say that here.
*look back at camera, awkwardly*
And now let's move on to something else.
As for the death threats, murder is completely unjustified and immoral outside of very rare conditions.
For the most obvious example, if they are some sort of sociopath that have killed quite a lot of people and see nothing wrong with that, and you have to kill them to stop them from killing more.
I think the judge should require an explicit statement, from them, as to why this behavior would cause reputational harm.
Let's fucking document that too.
Hey, we don't know that it's the truth, they could have been committing perjury!
Warning, I just got the notification that:
@ashleighlodge.ca has added you to the "Right-wing/Authoritarian/Fascist Bullshit" moderation list
If you're using that list, it's fairly clearly an op.
They, very obviously, should not have violence then against them for that. No one should have violence done against them for flying any flag.
That wasn't the claim, the claim is that it was not a racist assumption that they supported israel, because they were literally flying the flag of Israel.
Not only that, but they get confirmation that everything they think in general is genius, so they're way more likely to say that shit out loud.
Everyone occasionally thinks really stupid things. They usually don't make it past our lips, and when they do, people frown at us.
They might agree with your political tags, but if you were to show up not wearing pants or talking about how the corn has eyes and is looking at you, even the most extreme echoey political echo chamber would start looking askew at you.
the wealthy live in one that calls them a genius.
Because the feedback on what is a consensus reality is entirely broken.
And I don't mean like in a normal political echo chamber, where you only interact with people who agree with you.
Those people only mostly agree with you. Generally agree with you.
See, I don't think that's the same thing. That also happens with rich people, and it causes them to be a narcissist, which is a different personality disorder.
The personality disorder I'm talking about is the one where they no longer operate in a consensus reality.
