  • Employees also reported less clarity about what is expected of them at work and were less likely to feel that someone at work cares about them as a person.

    This sounds like a healthy relationship with work to me! They don’t care about you as a person. Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional and probably needs an intervention.

    Do I care about my coworkers as people? Absolutely. Do I have any impact on their work or pay? No. So what I think is irrelevant.

    If companies want to change this statistic, upper management—all the way to the top—needs to demonstrate that they care about their employees as people. If they’re making 100x more than the average and they’re handing over nearly all profits to shareholders via dividends, then clearly they do not.



  • Serious question: Let’s say that AI “gets good” and overcomes the hallucination issues. Would it still be negative for mental health? Would it be even worse (because reality sucks for kids right now)?

    I want to know if it’s AI that’s the real problem here or the world in which we’re forcing kids to live.

    I can imagine a situation where a kid with (insert serious problems) asks AI to be realistic about their future job/economic prospects. It returns truthful statistics, then that kid commits suicide. Was the AI culpable?

    What if it recommended joining a revolutionary group as the most likely way to improve their lives or the lives of their children/families?

    What if it suggested that sacrifice is necessary to improve the condition of the world?

    Would an AI that does these things be good or bad? If the AI’s system prompt has, always tell the truth will we have created a vastly more dangerous monster than the AI we have today?
