“But I’d notice if the LLM started censoring my work!” Really? Did you notice this? https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/72603 The point of cognitive automation is NOT to enhance thinking.

Starting to think about GPU acceleration of protocol decodes (rather than just basic math blocks) in ngscopeclient.

They Asked ChatGPT Questions. The Answers Sent Them Spiraling.
Generative A.I. chatbots are going down conspiratorial rabbit holes and endorsing wild, mystical belief systems. For some people, conversations with the technology can deeply distort reality.
