Why is it psychosis and not lower standards?

While I can understand being skeptical of non-experts' claims that such answers are enough, I don't understand why you call it "psychosis" and not simply naivety or lack of expertise.

At the same time, the new so-called "models" haven't been pure transformer-based LLMs, but entire systems with tools (with access to the Internet), data storage, and the options to trigger additional instances for different tasks.

Because some people develop actual psychosis. They go down some rabbit hole with an LLM until the LLM makes them believe they invented new kind of physics that makes them go harassing experts who obviously try to ignore them because its all nonsense.

For me, what others said and literally showed with Claude Code, et al, and what I’ve been experiencing with it, clearly signal way lower standards. But this was true even before LLMs.

Reminds me of that clip of Travis Kalanick, sexual deviant and harasser of women, talking about "discovering new physics."

The Uber guy? Yeah that was a painful watch.
