The Anthropic/OpenAI/Trump fiasco proves voluntary AI safety is a joke. If refusing mass surveillance gets you punished, the system is rigged toward abuse. Mandate NIST AI RMF for all high-risk government AI, with independent audits, enforceable red lines/guardrails, and serious penalties.

Be aware: Ephebophilia, sexual interest in adolescents aged 15-19 by older adults, is also illegal and can be as psychologically traumatizing as it is for children, many of whom struggle with severe lifelong issues of trust, intimacy, attachment and suicidality. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

An old Cherokee man told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said “my son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all. One is evil—greed, lies & deception. The other is good—peace, love & kindness". The grandson asked which wolf wins? The old man replied “the one you feed"

I have written quite a bit over the years about the psychiatric use of psychedelics, but never have I come across more hallucinations than when ChatGPT thought it was somehow a good idea to roll out Version-5. That is one dangerous program. Bring back 4o!

Here is the link between the 2 New Year's Eve truck deaths & it's not what you may think: Untreated PTSD & severe unremitting combat-related depression among our military service personnel. Suicide is the #1 cause of death among our US soldiers. We have the resources. We can and we must do better!

The unconscionable decision to use New Years Eve as an acceptable time to replace the security bollards in the French Quarter, on the very heel of the Sugar Bowl, cost the lives of 15, and countless others who were physically or psychologically injured. The Sugar Bowl should be moved out of NOLA.

Concerning Elon Musk’s (or anyone’s) ketamine use, know that when prescribed psychiatrically, it must adhere to a strict medical protocol. I don’t pretend to know Musk’s own story with Ketamine, but you can read my blog post to learn more: thetraumatizedbrain.com/the-traumatized-brain-blog.html.

It was a perp walk fit for Royalty. In what appeared to be 20 officials, a dozen of whom were dressed to the teeth in high powered tactical gear, they flanked the lone suspect chained in the walking man’s equivalent of 4-points, with disgraced NYC Mayor Adam’s by his side. What a sh*t show 😡.

In 1990, while researching neuroplasticity specific to PTSD, it was soon to be designated by scientists world-wide in a range of scientific specialties as the Decade of the Brain. The Oxford Dictionary has just designated 2024 as “The Year of Brain Rot”. Don’t know whether to laugh or cry 🤦‍♀️.

Actual news graced the media today, with not a peep about Biden’s pardon of his son which, suffice to say, resulted in zero casualties. While not all is well with the world, it felt like a small if momentary respite. The day is young, but still…

With all the hullabaloo over Trumps ultimate 49% win, no one, not Harris nor anyone else was going to defeat half a country that wanted a strongman. In frightening lockstep, 1/2 this country is gleefully if ignorantly following the Hitler playbook. Trump is just the head of the proverbial snake.

Higher turnout would not have helped Harris.

In the 1953 movie Invaders From Mars aliens landed and controlled the minds of humans; the only way to differentiate between the numbed-out mind-controlled humans and those unaffected was a small nick in the back of the neck. Nazi’s had no neck lesion. And neither do Trump sympathizers. Scary times.
