I have a friend who is on the very lowest dose of this. It’s actually a subclinical dose in that it’s lower than the lowest typical prescribed dose. She tries to go off it every 3 to 4 years like clockwork within six months she’s back. Some of us just function better this way.🤷‍♀️

It should absolutely be illegal for a computer program to refer to itself as "I" or "me." This single change alone would probably prevent a significant amount of LLM psychosis and cut way down on the success of simple scams that rely on commercially available chatbots.

If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

"Teny has particular experience in defending and investigating allegations of sexual misconduct, and has represented both individuals accused of sexual assault and victims navigating law enforcement investigations. She has tried the landmark sex trafficking cases brought in both the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York. First, she represented NXIVM founder Keith Raniere at his 2019 trial in the Eastern District of New York, and she then served as co-lead counsel for Sean Combs in the Southern District of New York, where he was acquitted on charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. She has also represented clients in high-profile sexual assault cases, including Harvey Weinstein in his rape retrial in Manhattan Supreme Court, where the jury voted 9-3 to acquit and the court declared a mistrial."
