AI/Human Rights Director and Global Privacy Counsel at @EPICprivacy, privacy advocate, nerd. Personal opinions, terrible jokes. illleavenow on butterfly site.
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.

SPELL MY NAME, SPELL MY NAME
IT'S RIGHT THERE IN THE EMAIL
IT'S NOT A HIDDEN DETAIL
THE SPELLING DOESN'T CHANGE
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.
Nope, tell the truth. We absolutely COULD stop it, but you won't because it's making you money.

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.)
