- Love the Reverse Surprise Notation on this calculator
- Stack Overflow simulator is a functional museum of Stack Overflow... using AI
- this idea is interesting, but I can't seem to see any image on your GitHub profile showing the output. I'm on my phone - does it only work on desktop?
- Love this! If you're into representing time with simple markdown, check out the Chronos Timeline plugin for Obsidian too

- Which local platform/model are you using? Would love to follow your project.
I built an AI journalling assistant plugin for Obsidian that has the option for 100% local and private use via Ollama and the model of your choice.

Not a replacement for human interaction, but finding it actually really helpful for getting out of negative thinking spirals in between therapy sessions. Plus it has endless patience :P
I feel LLMs work well as objective sounding boards. Trying to build something similar to the OP for this reason!

- Thanks - I'll try to reproduce
- Strange - are you seeing the error on obsidian? Happy to investigate if you open an issue
- I think they raised an important point and appreciate the call out to make the aim clearer
- That's an interesting point, but I'll reiterate this tool is explicitly described as not being a replacement for therapy.
> I think LLMs have a lot of therapeutic potential, but I am worried about how easily they can cause harm in this area
At the end of the day, no one can be 100% responsible for someone else. The agency lies with the patient. Even human therapists come with their own beliefs that seep into their practice, which while well-intentioned may not align with the goals of the patient. It is up to the patient to understand their own values and decide whether therapy with a given therapist/therapy method is effective in improving their life.
In your example above, I'm not sure the harm risk is so high. In fact, with your example of exposure, since LLMs tend to regurgitate the same flavor of response over and over, they might actually deliver the same effect of desensitization.
I fall into the OCD thinking category, and found LLMs helpful precisely for the fact they have endless patience (whereas I feel the need to hold back after a certain number of times talking to friends/therapist about the same issue)
Best one can do is be upfront with the aims/design of the tool, and let people decide
