Might be an area where global legislation may be necessary to stop the potential harm. Without that the companies are not incentivized to solve this collateral damage.

there is absolutly no way to prevent the intentional weaponisation of chat/ai, and as we rapidly move towards a fully juristictionless space based server network, the full potential mahem is going to be realised soon enough.

AI psychosis is happening without any intentional weaponization. Sure you can't help intentional bad outcomes but accidental ones are much worse because they don't require a malicious party.

Consider a conman-- a harm to society for sure, but he can only con so many people and he'll only do so in ways that get him money, power, glory, etc. Bad sycophantic AI can con and unlimited number of people and isn't limited to destorying their lives in ways that benefit the AI's owners.
