Eventually, yes, I think it will be. Not yet though, the tech just isn’t strong enough atm. But an AI is resistant to the emotional toll, burnout and low pay that a real life therapist has to struggle with. The AI therapist doesn’t need a therapist.

Personally though, I think this is going to be one of the first widespread, genuinely revolutionary things LLMs are capable of. Couple more years maybe? It won’t be able to handle complex problems, it’ll have to flag and refer those cases to a doctor. But basic health maintenance is simpler.

This would be one of the best unpopular opinions posts Lemmy has had yet … if you had provided any reasons. Without reasons it’s just meh though.

tbf, kids content on youtube has been a shitshow for awhile. Here’s a short Folding Ideas piece on it, that’s equal parts surreal, sad and scary:

I really hope this doesn’t start an actual cult. People don’t need much in the way of an excuse, you know.

Don’t feed the low-effort trolls folks. At least make them put a shred of effort in.

It’s really just not a very good unpopular opinion post. It’s literally the mainstream position of one of our two main political parties.

Which makes it a fairly meh troll post.

Huh. I thought that’d be about that “Lay Flat” movement among certain teens in China. Guess not.

That’s what the U part of UBI is for. Otherwise you just have a BI.

Military occupations of active warzones are their own thing. Not everything bad has to be a fascist state.

So far lacks the authoritarian power structure, which is a pretty key trait of fascist regimes.

All that headline accomplished for me is getting Miley Cyrus stuck in my head… :/

Upvote for solid unpopular opinion post. Also a fairly entertaining rant.

Less about self benefit, more about preservation of data accessibility. Potential self-benefit is a bonus, an extra. Two birds, one stone, nice and efficient. How smart people do things.

Very likely. Those are not secure in the long-run either though, hence the need for an overabundance. No single online service should be genuinely fully trusted. You need a lot of duplication for any kind of real future-proofing.

Vice did a lot of very good, and generally in-moderate-depth reporting over the years. Hope an overabundance of people scrape that shit while we still have an opportunity. Once its hosted somewhere safe, you could probably even dump access to it somewhere like … the fediverse.

Something, something, technology indistinguishable from magic, something, education funding, something, something.

Perhaps we simply had 40 presidents that did manage to do something positive for the country, and only a handful that actively harmed it? I’m no presidential scholar, at any rate.

Funny the kind of folks that get suspended on Elon’s twitter.

This makes me want to stitch every film she’s ever been in into one long movie, centered around her as the main char.

I think you hit on the main issue, which is that acting is a challenging set of skills, and only a very small percentage of them ever really master it. Like, a handful every generation.

That said, yeah, I could do without the same type-cast folks getting to basically play one character in movie after movie, for instance.
