Need a category just for LLMs and psychosis. Following up on is the OpenAI investor engaged in performance art or a breakdown, Futurism: As ChatGPT Linked to Mental Health Breakdowns, Mattel Announces Plans to Incorporate It Into Children's Toys

Mattel, the maker of Barbie dolls and Hot Wheels cars, has inked a deal with OpenAI to use its AI tools to not only help design toys but power them, Bloomberg reports.

I have a complicated relationship with Waldorf, but that notion that "the only thing an intelligent child can do with a complete toy is disassemble it", and emphasis on abstraction in toys and objects for play, is becoming more attractive.

But the idea that ChatGPT is best applied as a way to make Magic 8 Balls and Ouija Boards more of what they are is on point.
