AI psychosis and the warped mirror. Cory Doctorow: “While the internet makes it far easier to find a toxic community of similarly afflicted people struggling with your mental illness, an LLM eliminates the need to find that forum. The LLM can deliver all the reinforcement you demand, produced to order, at any hour, day or night. While posting about a new delusional belief to a forum won’t generate responses until other forum members see it and reply to it, an LLM can deliver a response in seconds.”

I think a person can stay sufficiently well informed on five minutes of news consumption daily, 360 days of the year. That excludes professional news, news you legitimately enjoy consuming and news about events that directly affect your life, like natural disasters in your neighborhood. Spend as much time as you need or want to on those types of news
