There must be no barriers to freedom of inquiry...There is no place for dogma in science. The scientist is free, and must be free to ask any question, to doubt any assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors.

Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

And as I sit with the lineage of my cognition – my thoughts – I am reminded that psychosis is a logic that is part of the human design...an initiation of becoming that is very much human. And maybe even machine.

Some of the classes I have coming up focus on medical ethics, ethics of artificial intelligence, + introductory ethical theory. Considering the societal implications of AI + human interaction in the context of psychosis + schizophrenia, I am very much excited for the coursework. (1/?)

This month, OpenAI announced "up to $2 million" in funding for research on AI safety and well-being. This may seem generous, write J. Nathan Matias and Avriel Epps, but following in the footsteps of other tech giants facing scrutiny over mental health impacts, it's nothing more than grantwashing.

J. Nathan Matias and Avriel Epps say OpenAI's announced research funding is the perfect corporate action to make sure we don't find answers for years.
