It's a great post, I will use it for the same. Thank you.

what do you mean?

I also didn't understand the point the authour was trying to make about this method being superior at allowing a learner to remember things under pressure.


Oh my god this article was bursting with them!

>It is not a “Platform.” It is a library.

>It isn’t a heavy observability platform. It’s a simple Python library


Yes! They are extremely susceptible to user influence, based on what I have read and experienced in personal use. If your initial message contains a seed, e.g., "Should I break up with my boyfriend? He doesn't listen to me," the LLM will stick with the seed of negativity and not make an objective analysis of the situation or take initiative to challenge your/its original perspective.

The finest of AI, probably using electricity/water for 100s of homes can not even beat a very simple children game with millions of texts guides etc. about it.

When can we replace doctors with it?


The NYT recently did an interesting review of Canada's program: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/01/magazine/maid-medical-ass...


I read that article a few weeks back - it was a great read. Incredibly complex topic both legally and ethically, but I thought they did a good job with it.


> Wonnacott had met Paula once before, and he found her to be a fairly accurate narrator of her own medical history.

This line reminded me of a lecture from my Psych 101 class back in college:

There are three "views" of ourselves

1. Reality

2. What we wish we were

3. Where we think we are

If 2 and 3 match but are far from 1: we are happy but "delusional"

If 1 and 3 match but we are far from 2: this is VERY often found in people who have depression.

And, ideally for long term happiness, 1 and 3 are close together and 2 is a "reasonable" distance away or close to 1 and 3.


It must be hard to say one last permanent goodbye.


It beats seeing them suffer over years.


on the bright side, at least you don’t need to worry about “i wish i told them __ before they died.” It’s a good way to have closure i suppose.


When reading the rest of his posts, I think you are right to ponder how his mental health is negatively impacting his outlook. He seems to be more ready to accept death than I'd expect, given how young he is. I wish him and his family the best; an unimaginable situation.


> Model obsolescence by user self-sufficiency is the final outcome.

What does this mean? "Obsolescence" just in the case of the topic at hand?


Not OP, but guessing it means that it's to teach the user to be so knowledgeable, that s/he doesn't need the LLM anymore.
