    I want to create a repository of some of the more relevant threads I've created over the years all in one easier-to-find spot, so here you go. Thread-ception. A thread of threads. For all your privacy, law, tech, and terrible movie needs.

    Very seriously, AI is breaking people's minds. It is actively harming people. The AI companies know this, but they keep making money, so who cares, I guess. A quick thread on AI psychosis.

    Infuriating how all of my carefully-structured and cited arguments tend to boil down to this.

    Nope, tell the truth. We absolutely COULD stop it, but you won't because it's making you money. We COULD regulate it. You COULD pull your product after realizing the dangers far outweigh the benefits. But you won't. Because money.

    A top AI advisor at Meta/Facebook warns that an "age of slop" is inevitable and he has no idea how to stop it "I feel we are moving into a time where you do not have a way to understand what is human-made and what is not" Source: CNBC

    Just a quick reminder that all this AI stuff was not built with you in mind - it's for companies, it's for profit, it's to exploit you. AI won't make our lives better because it's not designed to.

    My conspiracy theory that I kind of believe is that refusing to use AI is part of staying human. Dreams and voice and thoughts and choices are what make you a person - why would you hand that over to machines.

    GAI is often sycophantic users like it more when it agrees with and bolsters them. People like AI that disagrees with them less. So the "you're so brilliant" AI is born. Here's a psychiatrist with a great thread on how this works and what he's seen.

    I’m a psychiatrist. In 2025, I’ve seen 12 people hospitalized after losing touch with reality because of AI. Online, I’m seeing the same pattern. Here’s what “AI psychosis” looks like, and why it’s spreading fast: 🧵

    Everyone: “look what this sweet kid does about an empty candy bowl!” Me, the privacy grinch: “look at this creepy tech filming children without notice or consent and how we’ve embedded surveillance into our lives!”

    These things are not just stealing art and data, killing the environment, replacing workers, and perpetuating scams. They're actively exacerbating mental health problems, in sometimes fatal ways.

    Girl, she CRUSHED that privacy explanation. Love it. No notes. (I mean, some potential expansions because I’m an obnoxious privacy lawyer, but NO NOTES.) x.com/FaRah07595123/…

    There are some genuinely heartbreaking examples of this (though this article includes an encouraging story of someone breaking out of it).
