It is easy to point to loopy theories around superalignment, p(doom), etc. But you don't have to be hopped up on sci-fi to oppose something like GPT-4o. Low-latency response time is fine. The faking of emotions and overt references to Her (along with the suspiciously-timed relaxation of pornographic generations) are not fine. I suspect Altman/Brockman/Murati intended for this thing to be dangerous for mentally unwell users, using the exact same logic as tobacco companies.

One could also say that therapists prey on lonely people who pay them to talk to them and seem like they’re genuinely interested in them, when the therapist wouldn’t bother having a connection with these people once they stop paying. Which I suppose is true from a certain point of view. But from another point of view, sometimes people feel like they don’t have close friends or family to talk to and need something, even if it’s not a genuine love or friendship.

This is implying that therapy is nothing more than someone to talk to; if that’s your experience with therapy, then you should get another therapist.

Evidence points in this direction, though.

Different methods of therapy appear to be equally effective despite having theoretical foundations which are conflicting with each other. The common aspect between different therapies seems to be "having someone to talk to", so I'm inclined to believe that really is what's behind the success.

> "having someone to talk to"

it's a bit more complicated than that

and on top of this the method of therapy is to find better copings, not just to vent.

I'm not going to watch a 45 minute video in an effort to decipher what you are implying with this comment.

You could dump the YouTube link in to Gemini Advanced and ask it for the point.
