We spoke with @atroyn (Founder @trychroma) about the phenomenon of LLM psychosis and its impact on individuals and society. "When we create a new media technology, people go insane in new ways." "We're creating this new media technology and it does something that no other media technology has done before and that is it talks back to you. With the memory features especially, it remembers details about you." "Even if GPT itself is not driving people insane on its own, it has this new character that sucks people in an entirely novel way."

Inmachination #04 compares LLM and psychedelic use to propose a theory of redirection in these first notes on the theatre mechanics of the user-model interface and its psychoses. Link to the forbidden website in reply.
