Delighted that Rosa Ritunnano passed her viva without corrections! Her PhD on delusions is a marvel of interdisciplinary research. My favourite paper by Rosa so far is the one on Harry, the happiest man in the world. www.cambridge.org/core/journal... #philsky #philpsy #womeninphilosophy

Chatbots are explicitly being designed “to elicit intimacy and emotional engagement in order to increase our trust in and dependency on them” (me in Wired magazine 🤭). This designed intimacy combined with AI sycophancy creates serious risks for delusional thinking

AI Psychosis Is Rarely Psychosis at All
A wave of AI users presenting in states of psychological distress gave birth to an unofficial diagnostic label. Experts say it’s neither accurate nor needed, but concede that it’s likely to stay.

Do you work in school settings? With the help of @lisabortolotti.com & several members of Voice Collective, we created a little resource to help school staff know a bit more how they can help students who open up about hearing voices (as well as our info if more support/information is needed!)

'“The humanities are where people learn to think critically, to analyse systems, to question authority,” @desfitzgerald.bsky.social says. “What happens if that disappears? What happens if you can simulate critical thinking without actually engaging in it?”'

moving from the midwestern US to London means anything within a 2-3 hour train ride is *super close* as far as i’m concerned.

also, i really enjoy giving talks.

what i’m saying is if your uni is within 3 hours of London i would love to come give a talk and chat about research 😊
