@juergen_hubert @simon_brooke And it's remarkable how they always reframe ancient myth as if it were the latest scientific discovery!

@simon_brooke I swear, the fascists hate us (#autistics) the way they hate trans people. And the fascist "Labour" government of the #UK is hell-bent on mimicking #USA fascism. It isn't enough to hand out 30-month prison sentences for nonviolent protest. They have to mimic #BrainWormsJr and his crusade against #neurodivergence as well.

@strypey Iatrogenic symptom amplification, particularly for depressive (including suicidal[!]) symptoms, is a well-known problem in HUMAN psychotherapy. It was a serious issue with Rogerian "nondirective" therapy, in which the therapist frequently repeats back paraphrased versions of the patient's own words. This was intended to facilitate the patient's own problem-solving, but in practice depressed patients tended to interpret it as agreement with, and validation of, their self-disparaging thoughts, leading to a vicious cycle of more and more pessimistic thinking. The same thing can easily happen with AI therapy.
