Elon Musk says he's had AI psychosis half a dozen times in the last year
Elon Musk said that he has a "little bit of cyber psychosis." Some techies have rebranded AI psychosis into something of a badge of honor.

Angered by Google's exponential energy consumption (due to its AI pivot) and its plan to build "a pipeline of future users" via K–12 classroom software (due to its greed), a large crowd protested at its NYC office yesterday, organized by @climatefamsnyc.bsky.social & @aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.social
Protesters outside the entrance to Google's office on 8th Avenue in Manhattan. One protester shouts through a megaphone while others hold a banner saying "Keep AI out of our schools! Stand up for kids, not AI billionaires."
