LLMs are decent at providing feedback and validation. I often have few sources of that from humans, and long periods without it are bad for my motivation and sense of well-being. LLMs filling that hole is great if it's done in discret

If you don't like Claude's personallity, ask him to behave differently. It's common for me to periodically say 'don't be so sycophantic' and 'be more critical' when working on technical projects. In

What's wrong with using an LLM to learn about politics and religion? I've found Claude to be an excellent tool to facilitate introspective psychoanalysis. Unlike most human therapists I've worked with, Claude will call me on

I asked an instance of Claude 4.1 Opus about this, see below for start of the conversation. Full back-and-forth here, https://paaster.io/68a4a39766bde41e694b67ff#B-F1-7-NO_ybZXi6... I know AI slop is not allowed, but I fee

Sure, will do. Iris' email is at the end of the Medium comment if you want to talk to her directly. Judgement is ok! My general path to psychosis was: use AI to help write hard emails -> repeated patterns (e.g. over apologizing) a
