It’s fascinating that AI psychosis seems to affect such an identifiable Type of Guy. It has something to do with the way LLMs start breaking down and spiraling into nonsense when conversations go on too long and the user keeps pressing, and there’s a certain type of user that’s just smart enough to trust their own intelligence (accepting the LLM’s flattery, confirmation, continuing to dig, etc) but not smart enough to see they’re not uncovering some big secret, they’ve just made the chatbot break.





This is terrifying... Smoking just 1 joint per day is linked to a long-term decline in lung function comparable to smoking 20 cigarettes a day



Six US states now have bills to pause data center construction. New York just introduced a three-year moratorium. Florida's governor is publicly opposing them. Bernie Sanders wants a national freeze. The same AI infrastructure buildout that's driving $500B+ in annual capex is hitting a political wall at the local level. Energy costs, grid strain, and community pushback are real constraints. The companies that figure out efficient cooling, smaller footprints, and community benefit-sharing will have a massive edge. wired.com/story/new-york…


I'm thinking this shift is permanent. I can see no scenario where AI won't pay more for GPUs than consumers will. Compute is moving to the cloud. There are over 2000 datacenter being built and more planned. We're heading towards end-point viewers on our phones and screens.
