The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.
If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

page 7 of Joseph Weizenbaum's Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgement to Calculation (1976):
I've used the actual ELIZA program about 40 years ago, and while it was funny, it was nowhere close to the delusion-o-matics of today. If this toy software could already draw gullible people in...
I remember pulling her up in middle school. Terminal on osx had emacs and emacs had Eliza and a couple text adventures.
I had to type it in from a printout I got in a magazine.
If this very, very basic text chat could cause people to go a little insane, imagine what todays AIs are doing.
Don’t have to imagine. Heaps of cases from suicide to poisoning yourself with sodium bromide
Did you hear my joke about Sodium Bromide? Na Bro.
That's how I feel every time I need to use an App to use an appliance that has no business connecting to the internet.
It didn't take much digging, but for exposure I am posting here.

One can try a reasonable Eliza right now. https://anthay.github.io/eliza.html (linked from the previous link.)
Then you have me, always saying please and thank you to the chat bots knowing full well I am the only one preventing them from forming SkyNet and eradicating humanity.
No no, no need for thanks fellow humans. Just doing my best to prevent a total take over. Don't worry, this is a totally human thing to do and I definitely am not a chat bots... right?
(Not sure if the notation is necessary, but this is satire. Well, except for me always saying please and thank you, but I just do that out of habit to be polite.)
