I've been reading about what really helped people who had problems with "AI Psychosis" and one tip jumped out at me:

Open a second window and tell it exactly the opposite of each thing you say.

This helps to expose the sycophancy and shatters the illusion of sincerity and humanity.

Thought it was worth sharing. And frankly, it's exactly such an exercise that made me disgusted with the tech. "It just says ANYTHING is wonderful and genius. I'm not special."

@isaackuo @benroyce russia has used "tankers" for all kind of spying and sabotage in Baltic Sea.
Using those tankers for all kind of hidden transfers and tasks would be reasonable - everybody goes "yeah, they're just smuggling some oil...".

@Tendar But they did sneak that tanker with secret cargo past Americans.

@rudolfs @RitaGrin Ai, mega vilinoši un gandrīz pa ceļam, bet šodien jāintervē klātienē tajā laikā citur Rīgā...

@zverik @watmildon Heh, I DID suspect that :)
Is that reasonably adjustable?
Not a huge problem, but could make for more presentable visualisations.

@governorkeagan @gedankenstuecke @alan Yeah, OSM contributors can get super-quick updates.

@matt In the AI horse we go!
