I published a GPT, “Psychotherapy Simulator”. It role-plays a patient scenario and provides feedback on the session with the goal of improving a therapist’s understanding of themselves and the case. It’s trained on psychodynamic texts.

@prmshra The issue is that you can only mute/ignore so many people. The amount of dipshits just gets to you sometimes you know

@prmshra For you is garbage. You may need to stick to Following only for a while. I’m genuinely getting better interactions on LinkedIn unfortunately

@AviSchiffmann I truly hope you are wrong about this future. The idea that “people are crazy” is obtuse and unfortunately for me, proves your point. Relationships with other humans are what brings life meaning to most people.

The entire motto of @Replit should now just be “you can just do things” cause that’s exactly what I’ve been doing for with it. Things.

This post is exactly the issue. It’s a ChatGPT response that took about 15 seconds of effort for the poster and all these people are lauding it “wow so well written”! All of them are going to get replaced by AI. Not skilled legal immigrants who don’t care about your job.
.@VivekGRamaswamy Oh, Vivek, where do we start? You’re out here saying America’s culture celebrates mediocrity over mathletes, prom queens over problem-solvers, and hey, maybe you’ve got a point about priorities. But then you turn around and want to gut the very thing that could change it: education funding. You can’t bemoan America’s STEM talent deficit while calling for the Department of Education to be tossed like yesterday’s trash. That’s like blaming the forest for forest fires. Title I funding? Gone. Mental health support for students? Vanished. After-school programs that could’ve nurtured your future engineers? Poof. And let’s talk about this “normalcy” you’re so ready to vilify. Not every kid has tiger parents who both work two jobs to put food on the table or a weekend science fair to fall back on. You take away federal education dollars, and you’re not just losing sleepovers and mall runs; you’re shutting the door on millions of kids from struggling families who’ll never even see the starting line, let alone cross it. So, yeah, America might need a cultural shift toward valuing excellence, but guess what? That takes investment in schools, not defunding them. You can’t lecture us about the “Sputnik moment” while you’re busy dismantling the rocket launchpad.

The amount of people that can't detect AI generated posts is staggering. At what point will we hit >90% AI-generated content? 2026? 2027?

the word "slop" is so good at eliciting the feeling that it's trying to describe that it's basically an onomatopoeia

IMO this is straightforward because cognitive longevity is still primarily physical. Periodic cognitive function tests (memory, processing speed, executive function), genetic testing (apo E etc), mental health general screening, lifestyle assessment (sleep, exercise, social engagement, work functioning), nutrition. Make general protocols, then tailored recommendations for individual clients. If you decide to build this or integrate this into cline, let me know. I’m available for proper consulting if you’re interested.

I think the question is a good one and my sense is that this lies in mental/emotional optimization, which is coordination of numerous services (keeping in mind that much of mental health is physical) - biomarkers (sleep quality, HRV) - regular high quality depth therapy - access to group therapy with people also subscribing to the same model - biofeedback - highest tier would be medication management, psychedelic therapy Although as I write this out this is so similar to what @RavMenace has envisioned There’s also the idea of cognitive longevity which is its own domain and would mean regular in depth cognitive assessments, assessment and prevention of the various factors leading to a faster decline

The blurrier the lines, the more trouble a LLM will have with making decisions. "I won't be replaced by AI anytime soon" says the psychiatrist with his head in the sand
