What is AI psychosis? Clinicians are increasingly using the term to describe cases where people develop or strengthen psychotic symptoms, especially delusions, after prolonged use of AI chatbots. With increasing use of chatbots for therapy or "companions," what does this mean? youtu.be/lt6SnAxRopQ

I was thinking about depression. Don't feed starving people, feed the economy. Ignore the crises, feed the economy. Kick the can down the road to someone else, and produce lots of someone elses. Feed the economy. All of that is pretty depressing. But you're not alone. youtu.be/d14Z5MaWoQs

When the violence starts, it will spiral. The masses will forget exactly who they are angry with and why. There will be no "good ones" when the guillotines come out. The lesser villains on the periphery of the main villains can save their own skin by turning NOW, before the violence. Will they?

So… I’ve been living in America for almost eight years, as a permanent resident. I’ve always been reticent to become a citizen of the US, because I thought I would have to give up my British citizenship. I’ve recently learned that I could apply for dual citizenship. And I’m thinking of doing it.

I go well out of my way to avoid audio/visual marketing for 20+ years. Whenever I’m assaulted by a commercial, I’m always taken aback and need to do an emotional defrag. Advertising is celebrity, celebrity is advertising. Look at this asshole.
