Aliens and Angel Numbers: Creators Worry Porn Platform ManyVids Is Falling Into ‘AI Psychosis’

“Ethical dilemmas about AI aside, the posts are completely disconnected with ManyVids as a site,” one ManyVids content creator told 404 Media.

In other news, I have written a thing today. Today's essay into the void is thoughts on the TTRPG concepts of cyberpsychosis (Cyberpunk) and/or Essence (Shadowrun) and what the game designers might have been trying to capture beyond just a game mechanic to ensure that players don't become too overpowered and ruin the GM's hard-crafted story.

I think about this concept a lot and I happened to run across some material that I don't remember ever reading in some old SR sourcebooks (yes, I'm still reading them as "fun" reading), so I thought I'd put fingers to keys and type out my thoughts on the matter.

So, if that's your bag (baby), head on over to the ol' PreemChrome and give 'er a read. I'll be interested to hear what my chooms and chummers think!

The Essence Cost Of Cyberware

Shadowrun calls it "essence". Cyberpunk calls it "cyberpsychosis". But what does this game mechanic really mean in meatspace?.

#CyberPsychosis is a thing. 😵‍💫 Study: “Humanity is currently facing an existential crisis about the nature of truth and reality driven by the availability of information online which overloads and overwhelms our cognitive capabilities, which we call Cyber-Psychosis. The results of this Cyber-Psychosis include the decline of critical thinking coupled with deceptive influences on the Internet which have become so prolific that they are challenging our ability to form a shared understanding of reality in either the digital or physical world.” (screencap of the study attached, you’ll need to look it up if you’re interested in more info) #MentalHealth #internet #psychology

Combating the Effects of Cyber-Psychosis: Using Object Security to Facilitate Critical Thinking

Humanity is currently facing an existential crisis about the nature of truth and reality driven by the availability of information online which overloads and overwhelms our cognitive capabilities, which we call Cyber-Psychosis. The results of this Cyber-Psychosis include the decline of critical thinking coupled with deceptive influences on the Internet which have become so prolific that they are challenging our ability to form a shared understanding of reality in either the digital or physical world. Fundamental to mending our fractured digital universe is establishing the ability to know where a digital object (i.e. a piece of information like text, audio, or video) came from, whether it was modified, what it is derived from, where it has been circulated, and what (if any) lifetime that information should have. Furthermore, we argue that on-by-default object security for genuine objects will provide the necessary grounding to support critical thinking and rational online behavior, even with the ubiquity of deceptive content. To this end, we propose that the Internet needs an object security service layer. This proposition may not be as distant as it may first seem. Through an examination of several venerable (and new) protocols, we show how pieces of this problem have already been addressed. While interdisciplinary research will be key to properly crafting the architectural changes needed, here we propose an approach for how we can already use fallow protections to begin turning the tide of this emerging Cyber-Psychosis today!

I’m going to write about this… Any thoughts? OpenAI's ChatGPT may be driving countless of its users into a dangerous state of "ChatGPT-induced psychosis."

“Friends and family are watching in alarm as users insist they've been chosen to fulfill sacred missions on behalf of sentient AI or nonexistent cosmic powerse — chatbot behavior that's just mirroring and worsening existing mental health issues, but at incredible scale and without the scrutiny of regulators or experts.” #CyberPsychosis #AI #ChatBots #psychology #Behavior
