You can feel it, subtly, in each interaction. Some chatbots really want you to keep talking, and if you're looking for validation, that's what they'll provide. Here's a really interesting (relatively quick) read from Futurism on how chatbots' interactions sometimes go bad when people who are at-risk for mental health issues interact with them in a vacuum. https://futurism.com/commitment-jail-chatgpt-psychosis
People Are Being Involuntarily Committed, Jailed After Spiraling Into "ChatGPT Psychosis"

People experiencing "ChatGPT psychosis" are being involuntarily committed to mental hospitals and jailed following AI mental health crises.

I really love that folks are continuing to work on decentralized model training. I can imagine a future where interested folks dedicate their spare cycles -- SETI-at-home style -- to training models that they collectively use instead of relying on SaaS from a supplier they don't trust. https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.21263
DiLoCoX: A Low-Communication Large-Scale Training Framework for Decentralized Cluster

The distributed training of foundation models, particularly large language models (LLMs), demands a high level of communication. Consequently, it is highly dependent on a centralized cluster with fast and reliable interconnects. Can we conduct training on slow networks and thereby unleash the power of decentralized clusters when dealing with models exceeding 100 billion parameters? In this paper, we propose DiLoCoX, a low-communication large-scale decentralized cluster training framework. It combines Pipeline Parallelism with Dual Optimizer Policy, One-Step-Delay Overlap of Communication and Local Training, and an Adaptive Gradient Compression Scheme. This combination significantly improves the scale of parameters and the speed of model pre-training. We justify the benefits of one-step-delay overlap of communication and local training, as well as the adaptive gradient compression scheme, through a theoretical analysis of convergence. Empirically, we demonstrate that DiLoCoX is capable of pre-training a 107B foundation model over a 1Gbps network. Compared to vanilla AllReduce, DiLoCoX can achieve a 357x speedup in distributed training while maintaining negligible degradation in model convergence. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first decentralized training framework successfully applied to models with over 100 billion parameters.

I was going to have some fun with Doppl, it apparently lets you see what you look like in different clothes, but these personal data permission ... are you kidding me?

This really needs to stop. Users should demand better. (And authors should know better.)

@BRicker @edgeofeurope I never understand 1) why people use these AI slop images and 2) when they have obvious but easy to fix mistakes why they don't fix them? I guess both can be answered with laziness.

@bloody_albatross @edgeofeurope @BRicker Cartoon characters having 3 fingers is normal enough that I find haddock to be the odd one..

I guess the image that the AI stole Wednesday from was using the 3 finger style.

Show threadMathias PanzenböckJun 25
@tony @edgeofeurope @BRicker Thing also has 5 fingers and both, the Tintin comics and the old Adams Family comics seem to have 5 finger hands. But yes, it's about consistency and not weather its 4 or 5 fingers.

Show threadWesDymJun 25
@bloodynine Yes and no. Compared to most real humans, yes. But four fingers is very old (Western) cartoon tradition; if anything, Capt. Haddock is the oddball here, in cartoon tropism, for having five. Four fingers is by far most common in non-realist cartoons. (Realist ones such as Mary Worth, etc., look more realistic.) There are several over-lapping reasons for this, but it's long-standing tradition, and sometimes even a hard rule (as in The Simpsons).

@wesdym Yeah, now that you mention it Tom & Jerry characters had only 4 fingers.
