@tokyo_0 @yaelwrites I think one of the most urgent problems with LLMs is how sycophantic they are. For some people, it really fucks them up. I mean, I think everyone in tech has seen someone go off the deep end after prolonged AI exposure. And, I mean, I think I'm immune, and I explicitly configure all models I interact with to say less and cut the sycophancy right out, but we don't actually know what long-term use does to folks. I'm intentionally using it in measured doses due to uncertainty.

    @swelljoe @yaelwrites Tech sounds pretty horrific at the moment. The way it's being forced on people and into coding processes is downright weird. Using it to code seems kind of different to what's being described in the study, though — or is it sycophantic when you're coding, too?
