Countless users of AI chatbots are being driven into spirals of delusion, a wave of "AI psychosis" that's alarming mental health professionals. Some even say the tech could give birth to entirely new categories of mental disorders. The grim trend has already been linked to several deaths, including the suicide of a 16-year-old boy, which has led to his family suing ChatGPT maker OpenAI, accusing it of product liability and wrongful death.

Randomly selecting points inside a triangle

If you have a triangle with vertices A, B, and C, how would you generate random points inside the triangle ABC? Barycentric coordinates One idea would be to use barycentric coordinates. Generate random numbers α, β, and γ from the interval [0, 1]. Normalize the points to have sum 1 by dividing each by their sum. Return αA + βB + γC. This generates points inside the triangle, but not uniformly. Accept-reject Another idea is to use an accept-reject method. Draw a rectangle around the triangl
