Almost a year ago I had a major health crisis that left me unable to <br>
move, literally unable to even roll over in bed. I had partial use of <br>
one arm and that was it. (Details are on my website at <br>
<a href="https://sixdemonbag.org/?p=27" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://sixdemonbag.org/?p=27</a> , but they're not relevant here.)<br>
<br>
After weeks in the hospital I was transferred to a rehabilitative care <br>
facility for another multi-week stay. My roommate was an elderly man. <br>
His mind was completely gone from dementia. He'd spend sixteen hours a <br>
day holding three-part conversations between himself, his future <br>
deceased self, and the self that had already gone on to heaven. It <br>
started off as a terrifying display of what dementia does to a mind and <br>
became a terrifying threat to my own mental health.<br>
<br>
The software of humanity is a separate thing from the hardware. Children <br>
raised as feral very rarely learn how to walk upright, use the toilet, <br>
or function as a member of a family unit. Having missed the <br>
developmental window for that software to be uploaded, those <br>
capabilities are forever foreclosed to them.<br>
<br>
This software also deteriorates over time. It needs consistent <br>
reinforcement for normal functioning. Long-term solitary confinement <br>
results in permanent psychological injury.<br>
<br>
I was getting very few visitors, no conversations from nurses, nothing, <br>
and sixteen hours a day of narrative nonsense from a guy who could not <br>
be distinguished from an LLM.<br>
<br>
Six weeks of that and I was a psychological basket case. I don't want to <br>
go into detail about how my mind went off the map, but -- I was in a <br>
scary place.<br>
<br>
So yes, when I hear people talk about how their workplace now demands <br>
the use of LLMs, I want to know "has anyone ever demonstrated the <br>
psychological, neurological, and psychiatric safety of spending forty <br>
hours a week interacting with LLMs?"<br>
<br>
I have not been able to find any consensus on the safety of long-term <br>
LLM interaction.<br>
