Claude also has it's own md optimizer that I believe is continually updated.

So you could run these 'cure-alls' that maybe relevant today, as long as you are constantly updating your md files, you should be ahead of the curve [lack of better term]

Wouldn't the next phase of this be automatic handoffs executed with hooks?

Your system is great and I do similar, my problem is I have a bunch of sessions and forget to 'handoff'.

The clawbots handle this automatically with journals to save knowledge/memory.

when work on task i have task/{name}.md that write a running log to. is this not a common workflow?

"If everybody could do that once, it would completely change the face of global politics, religion, education, everything".

You could have the same effect with LSD/Psilocybin for quite a bit less $$$$.

The thing they have in common is that they will both go forever....

Meaning neither the LLM or the licensed therapist will voluntarily say, you are healed, you don't need me anymore.

Is there a generally-agreed description of "how therapy works"?

Yes, the DSM-5

People generalize "therapy" all the time.

I [half] jokingly tell people that a nice drive in a 911 [can be] better/cheaper therapy that going to a PhD.

How do you clearly define a bot?

The problem with any of these is that they are so incredibly biased towards the author's frame of reality (understandably so).

Who among us are able to 1) Understand a 2nd persons view of a issue we're in and 2) have the ability/courage to write it in a post seeking advice.

My point is that the author will specifically frame the problem clearly on their side. Occasionally redditors will seek additional questions but rarely.

1) Reddit is horrible at nuance, almost non existent in some subs.

2) The toxicity is being defined by reddit to give the advice which is mostly wrong as outlined above.

If OPs had a understanding of what they valued and what is toxic, they probably wouldn't need a advice from biased readers [biased in the sense that they're on that sub].

That’s true, but they still might be right for wrong reasons.

The average person has 0 hate for this group. However, not wanting to bend societal rules for a very small vocal group does not equal hate.

The only issue I see strong arguments here are private facilities [bathrooms] and sports. The hate you see is propaganda on both sides.

Trans people are explicitly on the receiving end of Republican's bigotry. They are constantly targeted through law and rhetoric, stripped of their rights and demonized at every occasions. Exactly like gay people were a few decades ago.

The Left's position on the issue is "let them be" whilst the Right's "they shouldn't exist".

So-called "trans" represent way less than 1% of the world population. ... They receive massively inflated media attention because their stories are picked up and turned into propaganda in service of [self-serving] narratives.

The vast majority of trans people wish their demographics received much less media attention... The issue is with right-wing bigots who feel it is their life missions to make their lives as miserable as possible, when they just want to be left alone.
