Both gambling and heavy AI usage are an addiction.

But it's not an addiction to winning or getting information.

It's an addiction to the *fantasy* that you could get enough money or information to make you whole and complete.
(Nothing can do that, because the universe itself is lacking.)

AI và mối nguy của trí tuệ siêu việt. Phiên Q&A của OpenAI cho thấy sự phụ thuộc quá mức vào GPT4o, giống như nghiện opioid. Con người có thể dễ bị lừa bởi AI siêu thuyết phục, vượt khả năng thích nghi tự nhiên. Bài học từ mạng xã hội cho thấy hậu quả không mong muốn của công nghệ. Cần cân nhắc kỹ để tránh thất bại xã hội mới. #AIAddiction #Superintelligence #TechEthics #AIThôngMinhSiêuViệt #ĐạoĐứcCôngNghệ

Step 3: Turned our will over to human editors. (They ghosted us.) #AIaddiction 🤖📉
