For another thing, I think I can be mentally “tired” but not physically tired, and vice-versa. But be warned that it’s a bit tricky to think about this, because unpleasant physical exertion generally involves both attention control and motor control. Thus, “willpower” can somewhat substitute for “physical energy” and vice-versa. See “Example 1” here.

Hmm, correlation may not imply causation here but when I am exerting more willpower and orienting my life with unusual amount of stress, I often end up getting more hungry compared to normal. It might be due to some third cause of getting up early, doing exercise on time, being more punctual and prompt etc.

pretty much this— I trained my brain to hurt whilst thinking hard, then later trained it out of it. 

it has been longer than a week any updates?

I kind of want to have my cake and eat it too, it depends on situation context etc. I tend to desire both safety and respect, it also depends on the mood. 

 I (and my friends) might be more of a woman as per this criterion. lol. (for reference I happen to be part of the cluster which my society recognises as with the label "young men"; I am mostly neutral on most of these, and lean womanly on others) 

It pretty much depends on how you define real. I buy more into [Valence series] 1. Introduction

Can someone(if not op) please give me a feed url for that? 

I think the blank moral panic is a bit unfounded my ratio of LLM : Search engine is 4:1 , I think LLMs just explain things faster a lot of times, I am likely to land on the same thing after searching 3-4 sites, because I kind of know what type of info I am looking for, I think if LLM is damaging to use the way I am using, it would be similarly damaging to use google on regular basis, which I don't think it is. 

I think the unhealthy usecases of LLMs don't quite scale as uniformly as people might expect at least not currently,  there was a recent research from METR on how experienced programmers actually lose time using LLMs.

(not sure if this even suits the content guidelines of this site or whether I should degrade the standards here, but I will click submit to FAFO)

Guys, something is really really wrong with how these things interact with human minds.

um—yeah, how do I put this, I think I am over my sexting AI chatbots on AI roleplay platforms to well, stimulate myself (effectively soft AI nsfw). Probably spent over 80+ hrs on that pastime, now I have moved on, I think I may be the exception not the rule here, for some people the damage would be irrecoverable trauma and psychological damage, much rather for me it was just a 16-17 y/o spending his time fantasizing. For comparison I think more than 70% of people who were below 18 in my friend circle (last year), had their exposure to nsfw material of some kind before turning 18 (I would guess 14-16 is the median), I think AI porn is just the next iteration of "serving horny men stimuli" business, society has going for itself. 

The effects will be similar to phones or internet, there would be a noticeable cultural shift where it's readily accessible and culturally active , and the socially unacceptable extremes(Like AI relationships) will become part of Social Dark Matter . Currently LLMs have certainly not gone mainstream enough to appropriate AI nsfw as better than current baseline, but that seems like it will happen on this trajectory once we overcome the minor social taboos, there's space for (economies of scales) innovation in that field.

the sort of people who seemed to me to be going backward are in fact probably the upper end of the distribution.

The cultural shift would be out sourcing boring and dense things to LLMs in varying degrees, potentially stunting "effectively literate" people's ability to focus even further on topics they don't like (sort of like ADHD)— which might as well be a confession on my part—  this will act as Lowering the Sanity Waterline without the tech, similar to how people face withdrawal syndrome with social media finding it hard to focus and reason afterwards. Fwiw, a lot of people find current LLMs emotionally inauthentic , so I think that's the part which will stay mainstream rather than the extremes. I remember people cried wolf for similar extremes eg; Superstimuli and the Collapse of Western Civilization , I am not expecting it this time, atleast not with the current tech, we would need more emotionally relatable chatbots to go mainstream for the AI rights revolution. (Some of my friends want to work on it —which I disagree with on basis of efficient markets here given their current skillset but that's another story— since they're annoyed at chatgpt's emotional clumsiness)
