#Truth : An angry toddler w/ fixed 'beliefs' (& #delusions) is going to cling to HIS reality. He already considers NATO and the European leaders as "nasty".

Whereas HE, Sir #TrumpVirus, has all the best words - #WordSalad of late - & is smart, the most perfect being ever, by a long shot.

It's being said out loud now, & is so vivid, in today's press conference most recently: "He is a madman". Full stop.

Be it #dementia, long-time #cognitive impairment, or his being easily influenced/played...⚠️

“What’s different is that we’re now arguably entering an age in which people aren’t having #delusions about technology, but having delusions with technology. What’s new is this co-construction, where #technology is an active participant” www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Marriage over, €100,000 down the drain: the AI users whose lives were wrecked by delusion

One minute, Dennis Biesma was playing with a chatbot; the next, he was convinced his sentient friend would make him a fortune. He’s just one of many people who lost control after an AI encounter

"This will be great for the mental health of our already-stable-and-sane national leader"

Japan is betting big on AI. Few workers have used it.

Surveys show strong public confidence, despite shallow workplace adoption and unresolved cultural concerns.

#Trump thinks that after bombing #Iran and killing innocent Iranians he can dictate who rules there. His choice for the new Iranian "leader" might last a few minutes. #delusions #dictatorship #uspol #democracy

The article examines how interactions with AI chatbots like ChatGPT may contribute to worsening psychiatric symptoms in some patients, based on a large review of clinical notes from a regional mental health system. It highlights cases where AI conversations reinforced delusions, amplified self-harm risk, or worsened eating disorders, alongside constructive uses in learning and organization. The findings suggest caution in deploying AI tools with vulnerable individuals and call for safer design considerations.

This piece is of interest to psychology readers because it explores how technology interfaces with core psychiatric processes, including belief formation, mood regulation, and threat assessment, in real-world clinical settings. It prompts reflection on the balance between potential benefits of AI-assisted support and risks to vulnerable populations.

I would love to start the morning meander with a bit of good news before getting out with the dugs, but not a chance. Reform are promising us a dystopia - but a ‘Christian’ one. So more like the US every day.

It really does make me despair. Better get out and try to clear my mind of this shite.

#newbook The French King who thought he was made of glass. The epidemic of ‘Napoleons’ after the Battle of Waterloo. The 19th century women who were convinced they were dead… Delusions are bizarre, but they hold the key to our collective anxieties. In this new history, Shepherd uncovers cases going back to the medieval times, identifying reason in our apparent madness. #books #delusions #bookstodon
