To anyone going through a difficult time:

Before you talk to an #ai chat bot about some deeply personal or difficult situation you are in: please please PLEASE remember that these are machines.

They have no consciousnesses. They have no understanding of you or the world around you.

They have no feelings or emotions, or any real understanding of them.

They don’t actually, truly THINK. They are simply designed to look like they do.

People are having mental breakdowns after falling into an ai-generated delusion, and LLMs have only been known to the wider public for 3 years now.

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.

Futurism
lol people are actually surprised to find out the llm doesn’t actually “think”
Finally made the switch to #Hyprland. I’m quickly falling in love with the more keyboard centric way of doing things.

Looking for a log analytics software, preferably something that runs on a Pi. From what I understand, Graylog is a little resource heavy.

Any lightweight recommendations?

Alright,

thx to the tutorial vids from @learnlinuxtv I'll set up #ansible quite easily. I moved it back to sometimes "in the future", but with Jay's videos (and a little help from AI ... eerm) I have updates automated and looking at other stuff to do. #Watchtower is taking care of my #docker containers right now so I'm set in that regard which is nice. :)

Next step: hardening my online services
