This is the path I was taking before the last neighbors I lived next to who refuse to take part in civil procedure (draw your own conclusions there) made a fool of my family and stuck their nose where it didn’t belong and my family are all just like the rest of the “ME” society, not caring about anything but themselves because they are incapable of learning anything new, and this is why my sister is so jealous because she’s never been special at all, she’s an ordinary narcissist just like my  father, who think they know it all and they know nothing outside their little echo chamber.  I know this because if they could prove me wrong they would take great delight in doing so but they can’t this is exactly why my sister has to get constant validation from someone who is so closeminded it’s ridiculous and she has never had to go thru anything by herself.  If she suddenly lost her job and her family, she wouldn’t know what to do with her life at all and would likely just wither and die.  The truth hurts but I’m tired of their “I’m better than you” or “holyier than thou” ATTITUDES. 

This describes why my parents are the part of the problem they believe the "bullshit" they spew and never fact-check or verify anything.

Despite their impressive language capabilities, today’s leading AI models have a patchy relationship with the truth. A new “bullshit index” could help quantify the extent to which they are making things up and also find ways to curtail the behavior.

Large language models (LLMs) have a well-documented tendency to produce convincing sounding but factually inaccurate responses, a phenomenon which has been dubbed hallucinating. But this is just the tip of the iceberg, says Jaime Fernández Fisac, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at Princeton University.

In a recent paper, his group introduced the idea of “machine bullshit” to encompass the range of ways that LLMs skirt around the truth. As well as outright falsehoods, they found that these models often use ambiguous language, partial truths, or flattery to mislead users. And crucially, widely used training techniques appear to exacerbate the problem.

IEEE Spectrum spoke to Fernández Fisac and the paper’s first author Kaiqu Liang, a Ph.D. student at Princeton, to find out why LLMs are such prolific bullshitters, and whether anything can be done to rein them in.

You borrow the term “bullshit” from the philosopher Harry Frankfurt. Can you summarize what he meant by it and why you think it’s a useful lens for this topic?

Jaime Fernández Fisac: Frankfurt wrote this excellent and very influential essay On Bullshit many decades ago, because he felt that bullshit was such a prevalent feature in our society, and yet nobody had taken the trouble to do a rigorous analysis of what it is and how it works.

It’s not the same as outright lying, but it’s also not the same as telling the truth. Lying requires you to believe something and then say the opposite. But with bullshit, you just don’t care much whether what you’re saying is true.

It turns out it is a very useful model to apply to analyzing the behavior of language models, because it is often the case that we train these models using machine learning and optimization tools to achieve certain objectives that don’t always coincide with telling the truth.

Here's a good video explaining how psychadelics work and their beneficial properties even how long they have been used in religious rituals 

When my family decides to do some of their own research on how to be positive emotional support then things could change but as long as they are the way they are, they are toxic and self-centered and have never listened to what I had to say once they only listen for a short period in order to REPLY never to understand anything.  Kristen has been on Suboxone since about 2012 so that's 13 years and I've been off opiates for 11 and 1/2 years.  There's just too many narcissist's in my family and the family that tortured me for 5-6 months.  Her mother raised 3 felons and the only advantage they have is they know how to communicate with each other and my family only has Kristen and my dad to divide the family more and to relay second or 3rd hand messages so anything they have to say should be taken with a grain of salt... lol kind of ironic salt like what she tried to do by removing ionized salt and supplementing her own Iodine and nuked her own thyroid by probably not realizing Micrograms are different from Miligrams and didn't do her research before and thought she was right in believing alex jones's BS.

Okay — here’s an easy way to visualize the difference between a microgram and a milligram:

• Imagine breaking one paperclip (about 1 gram) into 1,000 equal pieces.

  • Each piece is 1 milligram.

• Then, take one of those milligram pieces and divide it into 1,000 even smaller pieces.

  • Each of those tiny pieces is 1 microgram.

The daily recommended amount of iodine varies by age and life stage, commonly measured in micrograms (µg):

• Infants 0–6 months: 90–110 µg

• Children 1–8 years: 90 µg

• Children 9–13 years: 120 µg

• Adolescents 14–18 years: 150 µg

• Adults (19 years and older): 150 µg

• Pregnant women: 220–250 µg (some recommendations suggest 220 µg, others up to 250 µg)

• Lactating (breastfeeding) women: 270–290 µg

These values represent the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) or Adequate Intake (AI) depending on age groups and health guidelines from various health authorities. Adequate iodine intake is essential for thyroid hormone production, metabolism, growth, and brain development.

Excess iodine can be harmful, so intake above the tolerable upper intake level (around 1100 µg/day for adults) should be avoided without medical supervision.

In summary, most adults should aim for about 150 µg of iodine daily, with increased amounts during pregnancy and breastfeeding to support fetal and infant development. Children need varying smaller amounts depending on their age. These recommendations help prevent iodine deficiency and support overall health.

Symptoms of iodine poisoning can range from mild to severe and include:

• Abdominal pain

• Coughing

• Delirium (severe confusion)

• Diarrhea, sometimes bloody

• Fever

• Gum and tooth soreness

• Loss of appetite

• Metallic taste in the mouth

• Mouth and throat pain or burning

• No urine output

• Rash

• Excessive salivation

• Seizures

• Shock

• Shortness of breath

• Decreased alertness or stupor

• Vomiting

• Burning sensation in the mouth and throat

• Nausea

• Swelling of airways causing breathing difficulties

• Cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to lack of oxygen)

• Weak pulse

• Coma

Severe poisoning can cause pulmonary irritation, edema, chemical burns, and may lead to life-threatening complications. Immediate medical attention is critical if iodine poisoning is suspected.

In summary, iodine poisoning manifests with gastrointestinal distress, neurological symptoms, respiratory issues, and systemic toxicity signs requiring urgent care.

Long-term excessive intake of iodine supplements can have several harmful effects on the body, particularly involving thyroid function and other systemic health aspects:

1. Thyroid Dysfunction:

   • Prolonged excess iodine may disrupt normal thyroid hormone production.

   • It can trigger autoimmune thyroid diseases such as Graves’ disease (causing hyperthyroidism) or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (leading to hypothyroidism).

   • Excessive iodine intake is linked to iodine-induced hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, especially in people with preexisting thyroid conditions or goiters.

   • There is an increased risk of developing thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer (especially papillary thyroid cancer) due to genetic mutations associated with iodine overload.

2. Cardiovascular Effects:

   • Excess iodine may contribute to cardiovascular problems such as hypertension and atherosclerosis by causing endothelial dysfunction and inflammation.

   • It may increase oxidative stress that harms blood vessels, potentially raising risks for heart disease.

3. Neurological and Cognitive Impact:

   • High iodine intake might have neurotoxic effects, impairing learning, memory, and cognitive function.

   • It could disrupt neurotransmitter balance and contribute to neurodegenerative conditions with symptoms similar to Parkinson’s disease.

4. Renal (Kidney) Issues:

   • Excess iodine, particularly from medical sources like iodinated contrast media, may cause kidney damage in vulnerable populations.

   • This risk is notable in people with existing kidney problems or neonates.

5. Immune and Gut Health:

   • Excess iodine has been associated with immune dysregulation and changes in gut microbiota, potentially aggravating autoimmune conditions.

In summary, while iodine is essential for health, long-term overconsumption via supplements can cause serious thyroid disorders, cardiovascular disease, neurotoxicity, kidney damage, and immune system disruption. Careful monitoring and medical guidance are important when taking iodine supplements to avoid these risks.
