    I’ve been depressed for three decades and nothing I’ve tried so far has worked, but I’ll be stone cold dead before they put fucking chips in my brain. /oldmanyellsatcloud.jpg

      Chronic depression since a traumatic event trigger in 1989 here. They can shove those chips up their own arse.

        I did, but long ago. Problem is when you’re taking ssri’s/snri’s, especially in large doses, mushrooms lose their effect. Taking psylocibin on these meds doesn’t do anything, you don’t even get visuals anymore, only a mild euphoria at best.

          The point is not visuals, though I know what you mean. The point is to gain the introspection and Brain chemistry changes. Micro dosing less than . 5 grams daily for short periods NOT LONGTERM, are very effective control vs SSRIs. Large mega doses are where the real changes happen. I highly recommend significant research and carrful planning if you choose this route. Safety. Trip sitters. Be safe. There has been major changes in PTSD war veterans and all sorts if mental health issues.

    So, their AI is confidently wrong over 60% of the time, and they thought implanting it into people’s brains was a good idea?? Wtf???

      The non-technical public is scared of the word “AI”. When it has a whole spectrum of meanings and implications.

      AI has been in use in medicine, engineering, municipal infrastructure…etc long before LLMs/GenAI.

      Even new products today (Like those assistive exoskeleton legs) use (non LLM) AI to interpret and extrapolate bodily functions l. And wouldn’t work without it.

    This sounds like an absolute nightmare. Listen to the techbro leaders talk about the general population, and imagine them owning what manages your brain… Ieam electrically, as opposed to indirectly.

    This seems interesting, i’ll read it fully after work if i don’t forget.

    Something has me convinced i’m depressed but the only time i ever had the posibility to look for help they sort of just worked me towards the door and cut me off asap.

    But they ended up giving me some sort of anti psychotic medication, which definitely allowed me to get back on my feet at the time. (Shit was dark, i fell in a hole with covid, homelessness and unemployment alltogether with my wife and reached a point where i struggled so much i couldn’t even get my ass to a job interview).

    But i still don’t know what the cause of my struggles is, only that they’ve been around as long as i can remember. Some form of psychotic whatever wouldn’t surprise me either looking at my mom and what she did. But from what i know (which isn’t a lot obviously) it seems more like depression.

      I likely had undiagnosed depression for decades before I got treatment, from a GP, no less, after being dismissed by a psychiatrist. If you have concerns about your health, keep trying to get help, as long as you’re able.

        It’s been something i’ve thought about a lot, but at the moment it feels manageable to the point other things get priority.
