Oxide and Friends
Predictions 2026!!

Um, so, um, I am going to say that the, um, the, the DSM adds LLMs as a contributing factor to psychosis, the same way the DSM treats LLMs, the way it treats kind of like cocaine, um, where, um, you can have a lot in the early days of the profession and then looked back as a mistake of having done it.

Oxide and Friends
Predictions 2026!!

Well, no, because I think you said the lobsters issue earlier.

Oxide and Friends
Predictions 2026!!

I think that we are going to have an increasing number of incidents of LLMs resulting in psychotic behavior.

Oxide and Friends
Predictions 2026!!

Has the DSM got anything about social media in right now?

Oxide and Friends
Predictions 2026!!

So right now they do have on like internet gaming, for example.

Oxide and Friends
Predictions 2026!!

But I think this is going to be faster than internet gaming.

Oxide and Friends
Predictions 2026!!

Because I think that gaming is looking more at social isolation and some kind of modicum of dependency versus like, no, no, the LLM got you to do something that you would not have otherwise done, that you had this delusion that your mother was involved in a global conspiracy and you burned down your house.

Oxide and Friends
Predictions 2026!!

I think it's more that I'm just betting on crazy in that I think that there's no amount of safety that you can put in place that allows these things to be used and not... I don't know that they will be liable.

Oxide and Friends
Predictions 2026!!

I think it's going to be more like for diagnosticians to be aware of like, hey, if you're talking to a patient...

Oxide and Friends
Predictions 2026!!

Like, do they have this kind of idea because of the LLM?

Oxide and Friends
Predictions 2026!!

Have they been having conversations with their LLM about this?

Oxide and Friends
Predictions 2026!!

I mean, it feels like we need this today.

Oxide and Friends
Predictions 2026!!

Oh, no, I think we do.

Oxide and Friends
Predictions 2026!!

I think that the reason I was saying earlier at the top that I was struggling with six-year predictions, the DSM moves slowly.

Oxide and Friends
Predictions 2026!!

So that's why this is a six-year prediction and not a one-year prediction.

Oxide and Friends
Predictions 2026!!

And this is well beyond Deep Blue at this point.

Oxide and Friends
Predictions 2026!!

This is well beyond Deep Blue.

Oxide and Friends
Predictions 2026!!

That's exactly... Well, no, because this is not like a feeling of ennui.

Oxide and Friends
Predictions 2026!!

It's a psychosis thing.
