I find myself in the position of trying to convince a 75-year-old man who is generally receptive to evidence that ChatGPT is not reliably objective / correct medical information.
I invite links to articles on why ChatGPT is bad. Articles that are high-quality and accessible to those who aren’t super techy / online would be particularly appreciated.
Topics can include: - is not reliable fact - destroys the environment - enriches fascists - preys on the vulnerable - puts actual experts / workers / artists at risk, - anything else that is bad.
Suggestions for experts and hashtags are also invited.
Here’s an article I just shared, in the legal context, where the use of ChatGPT has been treated as potential contempt of court:
Don’t include fake cases in court submissions. Don’t miscite cases for wrong propositions of law. Don’t refer to cases in court if you haven’t read them. This is the most basic of lawyering stuff.
Are you still interested in sources? I have some on the environmental and cognitive side...
I'm also curious, is this person looking for information only on medical matters? There may be opportunity to empathize first with them, as to why are they preferring chatGPT (e.g. doctor's appointments are so short you can never ask anything, doctors look down on you if you ask things, medical research is complex and there is a lot of it, bodies are always up to something, etc).
Rolling Stone reports: "OpenAI did not immediately return a request for comment about ChatGPT apparently provoking religious or prophetic fervor in select users. "
A 60-year-old man spent three weeks being treated at a hospital after replacing table salt with sodium bromide following consultation with the popular artificial intelligence bot ChatGPT
I see the salt one was already posted; the airline one is also pretty informative not just for how the chatbot fucked up but also for how the company behind it tried to evade responsibility:
I apologize for not following your instructions exactly, but Ed Zitron is, I believe, one of the best critics of generative AI. He particularly looks at their economic numbers, in that they are spending 10 or more dollars for every 1 dollar they make: its a financial mirage, a scam. So even if it worked well; even if it wasn't environmentally disastrous; even if it wasn't built on stolen data (all criticisms he includes in his arguments), it still would be a financial scam: there is nothing remotely approaching a financially viable business product. I think this is a really smart tack, because of how resistant so many people are to criticisms from ethical/social perspectives. He has an easily findable blog. Unfortunately his writing is scattershot and inconsistent but he has some really really hard hitting lines and analogies. He is quite profane.
The link I'm sharing is a great podcast episode where he interviews the three academics who recently published an article arguing that ChatGPT should be accurately described as a bullshitting machine. It really takes apart the idea that this is anything remotely approaching intelligence. They do a great job giving examples of how poorly of a job it does writing essays. LLMs are good at summarizing, but the moment you ask it to write a pursuasive argument, it falls of the rails.
One of the best examples that I can think of is about how it is bad at chess. We've had 'AI' thats great at chess for decades. This is a pretty obvious takedown that there is no level of understanding going on behind the scenes. These models are analogous to a magician stacking the deck and performing a trick. The moment it has to 'think' for itself on a dataset that is outside of the precise training model, it inevitably fails. Literally, if I had been asked to make an LLM, the first functionality I would have ensured it have would be the ability to play chess competently, but GPT3.5 apparently didn't even remember where the pieces were. towardsdatascience.com/can-cha…
Here is a great article describing the magician's trick effect. No different than how waymo is having to have full time monitoring from remote technicians while selling you on an 'autonomous' car.
Here's a good summary from Cory Doctorow of some of Ed Zitrons latest financial analyses, in the context of how tech companies are attempting to falsely claim long term profitability by firing workers and replacing them with financially unsustainable 'agents' who cannot functionally do their jobs.
Evil AI is contagious, researchers found, as part of a joint research project between Truthful AI and the Anthropic Fellows program. The new study could upend AI safety.
Highlights the fact that you can't just ask an AI and then confirm the result with a quick web search, because many top web results include hallucinations.
Okay, your ask has compelled me to compile the links I've been bookmarking about this for a while, here's a semi-organized list, with some repeats of other replies. You're probably most interested in the "untrustworthy" section:
# Training & Scraping Harms - Datasets built on corporate piracy (porn edition, not that that's relevant): indieweb.social/@elgg/11493860… # Untrustworthy
For the posts in my "LLMs don't actually know anything" thread, I do my best to verify them. These are four that I'm pretty sure used to work but no longer do. That suggests to me that there's some poor team at Google whose job it is to keep track of when people are mocking their "AI" and suppress the bad results.
I think that is hilarious. I would love to know how many individual fixes they've accumulated like this. It reminds me of a competent secretary endlessly covering for an incompetent boss.
The Israeli army, today Friday, called on residents of the Zeitoun neighborhood in southeastern Gaza City to evacuate immediately, using leaflets dropped in the area.
I got away with a 380 MB /boot during upgrade, though that assumes you aren't dual booting another distro that also needs some room. Have you tried deleting old kernel versions?
But if you want to future-proof, the issue is that shrinking a partition from its "top" is not a supported function. For ease of explanation, suppose we want a 1.5 GB /boot partition:
This assumes your fstab file mounts by UUID (default in recent versions of Debian). If not, update /etc/fstab to match the new partition. It's been a while since I last did this, so definitely have your backup on hand and perhaps double check with other resources in case I left out any steps.
More precisely, shrinking relies on the presence of empty blocks. A filesystem usually fills from "top" to "bottom", so there would be no empty blocks to shave off the top of your nvme0n1p3, you can only shave off at the end. If you really don't want /boot at the end, you'll have to shrink nvme0n1p3, back it up, delete nvme0n1p3, expand /boot, re-create nvme0n1p3, and dd the backup back into its place.

One of my favorite things about playing through #Hades for the first time is fighting new enemies. You'll run into a room, see a group of enemies doing some weird shit like spraying sticky goo all over the arena, Zagreus will yell something like "Snail Trailers!" like he's seen these a thousand times, then rock music kicks in it and it ends up being the most epic battle you've fought so far.

Solidarity International Anti-repression groups from different parts of the world create a solidarity network
Levels of repression against anarchists and other anti-authoritarians has been high for many years. In many parts of the world alongside the growth of fascist tendencies more and more people end up in prison in the struggles for just and equal societies. As internationalists we believe that support for those under state repression is not an exclusive responsibility of local anarchist and anti-authoritarian groups. On the other hand we can spread and deepen our resistance to repression on a international level, creating stronger networks of solidarity and a shared analysis of the states repressive apparatuses.
For this reason we’ve decided to create Solidarity International -a network of anarchist and anti-authoritarian support groups from different parts of the planet.
Q8. Do you have a photo to share from a ride or of something cycle-related from the past week? It doesn't have to be anything special. If you'd like to, share one and tell us about it!
A8: was waiting for this! Took a #Polaroid on the way to the Giants game where I stopped by Chase Center to snap this! Was shot on expired SX-70 film! #BikeNite
A8 I co-garden with a friend who lives a few blocks away. Summer squash season is in full swing, and we have these enormous tromboncino squashes. Transporting them on the bike is a bit of a challenge -- it's usually easiest to wrap them around my neck.
Above the river, next to dam, on old railroad bridge where we are hoping they extend the rail trail someday. Between bridges there’s been enough foot/bike traffic to make a rideable trail. #BikeTooter #BikeNight
A8. This is the bicycle compartment of the German train that took me to Berlin today (as I had to take a break cycling because of todays hard hits on sandy "roads" at the Polish border). Mine is somewhere in between. The conductor was very relaxed and let us all in. It is ment for maybe 8 bicyles. I counted 15 bicycles, 1 handcart, 1 baby carriage.
#BikeNite #A8 - a 1996 norco java, on its second owner as school transport, and after many thousands of kms of use by is previous owner (me). Newly stickered
@BikeNite A8. Did my first multimodal bike ride in a looooong time this week. Car, train, ferry! Bikes and ferries made for each other, IMNSHO. sfba.social/@Kleen/11502525654…
Attached: 4 images
Did a multimodal #bikeRide yesterday with a friend. First time on BART with a bike for both of us. Survived just fine thanks to helpful BART staff. Then a ferry to Marin with equally helpful staff.
A8. Riding home after dropping my teen off at school this morning. Not a perfect bike lane but just enjoyed the quiet vibe on an otherwise busy week. #BikeNite
#BikeNite A8: I rode several segments of the Paul Bunyan State Trail in Northern Minnesota this week, so it is only fitting that I got a couple of pictures of my bike with Paul Bunyan (and Babe the Blue Ox).
The Tapa Martinthi Yala bikeway curving through the wetlands in the foreground, the Port River Expressway doing the same in the background. Adelaide, Australia.
Got to explore a previously unknown to us (and probably often overlooked generally) region of Italy on gravel over two days, in the hills between Lecco and Pisogne.
A8. Ride with my son today, first since March. He said, unprompted, as we were riding today, "This is fun. Why don't I ride with my father more often?" We're doing the Tour de Tohoku in a month, which I've been trying to get him to do with me since 2018.
A8 #BikeNite We go out on ‘Gravel Wednesdays’ each week. There are often a daft number of gates on our routes but if we’ve enough riders and you end up positioned well in the group it’s quite possible to have a clean run through long Strava segments and so pick up PRs/QOMs/KOMs. I’d held 2 gates open here so as to give everyone a chance of picking something up on this climb. 🥇 🥈🥉and 🏆 all round!
A8. I wish I weren't so timid about taking photos because I really want to document Albania's cycle culture. But Albanians older than a certain age lived in decades of constant surveillance & punishment so I'm wary of how my camera work might be perceived.
Here, however, is a vendor of lakeshore swimming toys using a cargo trike. #BikeNite
A8: Just installed a new set of pedals on my road bike—Shimano PD-ES600. They're single-sided SPD and about 160 grams lighter than my previous ones (weight weenie alert). 😆 #BikeNite #BikeTooter #MastoBikes #SEABikes
A8. From my commute into work this week. Forecast to be a very hot day, but it had rained heavily the day before. This is meant to be a view down in to the Tyne valley; this wasn't even the thickest fog.
#BikeNite A8: On my way back from the Netherlands, I rode a part of the cycle path on the famous #Vennbahn ("Fen Railway", en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vennbahn), a former railway line near the german-belgian border where even the tracks inside Germany were Belgian territory. Due to the heat and my odd biorhythm, I rode 61km during the night at comfy 19℃, but took no pictures. The pictures are from a day later driving southward with my campervan following the old railway line.

Where is she getting this 3 billion number from, who the hell is watching woman's basketball? 😏 I don't even know who she is, with her will smiff lookin ass face. she's taking it as an offense against black people because of their deep seated jealousy. They're the most jealous envious and animos animals on the planet. When they start hating on it the way they do it only accentuates and exaggerates their unattractiveness. Why they have no business outside of Africa mixing with more sophisticated and pleasant looking beings. They even get jealous with each other if one of them has more or is more clever than another they tear them down, kill em and take his shit. They bring all of humanity down to their level which it quite literally lower than whale shit as far as hominids go
Until now, additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, of engine components was limited by the lack of affordable metal alloys that could withstand the extreme temperatures of spaceflight. Expensive metal alloys were the only option for 3D printing engine parts until NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, developed the GRX-810 alloy. The primary […]
Reap it! breitbart.com/clips/2025/08/16… On Friday’s broadcast of Fox News Radio’s “Brian Kilmeade Show,” New York City Councilman Robert Holden (D), who is supporting Republican Curtis Sliwa’s candidacy for mayor of New York City, stated that “it’s tanked, quality of life, there’s mayhem on the streets of the city of New York, you have just people doing as they please, urinating in public, riding on the sidewalk with ebikes and motorcycles, people without license plates.”
Holden said, “When I hear people who are lifetime New Yorkers saying, if New York City mayoral candidate Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani (D) wins, I’m out of here, that’s like — they were looking for an excuse, some people."

Pepperoni and onion pidser done and I'm my belly. Tavern Style, but cut into wedges. Fucking so sated RN and really looking forward to those smoked pork shoulder sandwiches on Bao tonight.
This is why I could never monetize this. This IS my escape from the hustle. I'd grow to loathe it. But, I love preparing meals for the people I love. Breaking bread with someone used to be considered an honor because it involved more than DoorDash.
Quite a few Spanish officials have recently resigned from office after admitting they had falsified some of their academic credentials. A large fraction of those seem to be in right-wing parties, but not all.
When the USAF started using more compact airplanes they did a huge study on the dimensions of servicepeople. The idea was that they were going to lean what the Standard Pilot looked like so they could just build one cockpit size commission one flight suit make one helmet and it would fit enough people to work.
What they discovered is that there is no standard.
This is why all our (everyone's, not just USAF) equipment has adjustable seats
The reason is pretty obvious if you think about it. The more things you measure to find the average, the fewer people will be average in all categories. Even if you only want the middle 80% of everyone, even after just 4 categories you're going to be excluding 60% of the population.
Less than 11% will be in the middle 80% in 10 categories.
