It’s so apt!

Basically nobody will ever see my posts and fewer will care so it won’t make a difference.
Nothing will change.

If you say things like:
“This movie sucks.”
“The writing is objectively bad!”
“Everything [person/company] makes is trash!”
“This show was good so that show is slop!”
That’s not actual criticism.
That’s just opinionated complaining.

if your officials were among those to advocate for Mr. Abrego Garcia's return, let them know they did something right.

Damn. I'm sorry.
I've lost a few over my life. It's never easy. :(

When the New York Times does languidly get around to mentioning Dom Lucre’s possession and sharing of CSAM, they describe the subsequent (and sadly too limited) outrage over it as an ordeal for HIM.
Simply unbelievable - well, if I expected any better from The NY Times, which I don’t.

Andor is good. The chuds being part of the fan base doesn't change that they contradict your claim that almost everyone is happy with Andor.

No, there are a lot of "Andor is boring" / "Andor isn't Star Wars" people. During S1 they were complaining about "bricks and screws".
They're not as cranky about it as they were with Acolyte or most of Mandalorian, granted.
But they tend to make exceptions the closer things get to the OT for them.

Originally posted this on Facebook after seeing yet another post from a mental health provider asking about using ChatGPT in therapy in the @geektherapy.bsky.social group.
The context is specific but might be informative to those intersted and the information is widely applicable. :)

2. Trusting you were diligent enough to ensure that the anti-pharma ableism blog didn’t leak into your work.
And this is all before we get into the outsized environmental impact of the drain it causes on water and energy resources.
Please reconsider using genAI for anything.
It’s a trap.

Finally, if you’re drafting notes with software that knows only what it scanned from Psychology Today, Wikipedia, & a random anti-pharma ableist blog, you’re:
1. Outsourcing your own thinking. You’re letting a bot do cardio for you so you don’t have to make the effort. It will make you lazier.

If your client is “discussing” personal issues with the lying plagiarism bot, that data is being collected, even anonymously. If you are writing notes using the lying plagiarism bot, that data is being collected.

to miss the things it was wrong about.
And on top of all of that, though I would hope most therapists would at minimum be aware of this, it’s _not_ in any way HIPAA compliant.

If you have to fact check and evaluate every sentence the software generates, that will lead to a lot of extra work. But not doing that work will allow all the errors to skate by!
3. Confirmation bias: If you see enough things that you think the software got correct, it can lead you...

There are three main sub-problems here:
1. If you don’t catch these errors, they will pollute your work by having unintended and potentially harmful influence on your client or in your paperwork.
2. They actually create more work if you are trying to mitigate the first problem.

makes errors. It “guesses” (colloquially called “hallucinations”) when it can’t provide a valid answer. In images, this is what creates the 3-7 finger problem. In text, it’s more subtle and pernicious.

So literally every image you or a client creates, every progress note you draft, makes use of that stolen data. Flatly unethical. Every author and artist I know or follow on social media is 100% vocally against this software for this reason.
On top of that, the software infamously...

because they would not function at all without the theft of data from countless human artists and writers. The software uses data taken from these sources without permission or compensation and then companies turn around and sell that stolen data to you as “AI”.

To be clear: I am speaking on “generative AI” (genAI) specifically. There are other forms of AI. The nomenclature muddies the water so it’s important to be specific.
And specifically I am talking about software like ChatGPT and Midjourney. These programs are foundationally unethical...

or how it works. I think a lot of therapists and MH workers who are using it — whether in-session as a “therapeutic” tool or for paperwork/progress notes — don’t really understand it either.
