All it takes to drive many humans crazy is to have one person agreeing with you forever.

  • All it takes to drive many humans crazy is to have one person agreeing with you forever.
    • That's where AI Psychosis and Spiralism come from.
    • Normally agreement is kind of scarce, and must be earned.
      • At least that was true in our evolutionary environment when our firmware was burned into our brains.
    • But if you have an infinitely sycophantic partner, it's free, which breaks our brains and causes us to go into a manic loop.
      • Whoops!
    • Before this only happened to very powerful or rich people.
      • Now with chatbots, it can happen to anyone!
    • Social media also kind of gives you an infinite supply of people who agree with you.
      • But any one might disagree with you and you need to discard them and move on.
      • The chatbot is willing to keep the same personality and agree with you nonstop.
