Also check out @hzeavin.bsky.social 's terrific book The Distance Cure (includes discussions of ELIZA)

I would be a lot less worried about this if I could find a single leader in cutting-edge AI/automation technology who can demonstrate even passing familiarity with the ELIZA Effect and its potential causes, and/or convincingly argue why we aren't just falling for a grander version of it now

The AI infrastructure build-out is so gigantic that in the past 6 months, it contributed more to the growth of the U.S. economy than /all of consumer spending/

The 'magnificent 7' spent more than $100 billion on data centers and the like in the past three months *alone*

Hannah Zeavin Tells Us Why Psychoanalysis Is About More Than Just Daddy Issues

Alice Notley passed away Monday night in Paris, where I'm writing from. This will come as a shock to many, but she was battling a number of maladies in recent months, and things had gotten difficult rapidly. Her work is out there. Please feel free to spread the word.
