“Christmas comes this time each year” is the Platonic ideal pop lyric: catchy, rhythmic, utterly inane

One tragic side effect of the decline of hobbies is the loss of rock bands formed around a shared interest. The Beach Boys took any tune and asked, "How can we make this about surfing or drag racing?" Little Saint Nick is just a song about a guy working on his car

I understand ghost stories but what do you mean by “tales of the glories” of past Christmases? Were you at war

Why is it so hard to make an LLM say “I don’t know”?

Post-postscript: the metaphor is imperfect and AI psychosis is obviously worse than unhelpful, not least because of AI’s willingness to lead one down an uncertain path for far longer than a human would while still projecting total confidence

Or maybe it’s that the “Internet Age” didn’t properly begin until the arrival of the iPhone

I have this theory that there was a kind of modern era that ran from the 1920s until 2007 and that in hindsight the dividing line between “pre-smartphone” to “post-smartphone” will be brighter than the dividing line between “pre-internet” and “post-internet”

Postscript: I suspect this is actually a great way to learn a language. The feedback loop just needs tweaking.

I imagine this is a little bit what AI psychosis feels like. The difference is, with AI psychosis, your friend never leaves.

I had never received negative reinforcement for getting a word wrong because I was always “close.” I had always been able to convince myself that I “knew that” when my friend stepped in to hand me a plausible translation.

The moment I had to fend for myself, it was obvious how much sycophancy and confirmation bias had contributed to my sense of learning.

Unsurprisingly, I couldn’t read anything new. Unfamiliar words became immovable obstacles. The “closeness” of my guesses was immaterial. I did not speak German.

On the last day of the trip, my friend left, so I walked around the city by myself.
