There's a bunch of speculation that she's going to endorse Biden, so they need to try to destroy her reputation before then.

Adderall isn't perfect (I've been prescribed it for years) but all of these horror stories either sound like they're lying, not taking it properly, or got some from someone else. Also there's an adjustment period; your doctor isn't just gonna give you 10mg and tell you to have a nice life. At least in NJ they're legally required to have follow up visits every few months to keep the scripts going. I've had a few medication adjustments until it got right.

1) They generally don't prescribe Adderall to kids, they have different medications for younger people

2) People with clinical depression who have to take antidepressants are more likely to commit suicide? No loving poo poo, dude!

Their logic goes
1) AI processing speed is incredibly fast
2) humans can't interface with AI through text/speech fast enough to stave off the AIpocalypse
3) communication at the speed of thought is much faster, although still not fast enough
4) nuralink!

My understanding is their fear is that a rogue AI will need to be negotiated with at some point to save humanity and we need the fastest communications protocol possible to increase chances our message gets to the AI before it's too late.

Total fantasy "good guy with a gun" scenario.

Which is stupid because the more likely scenario for an evil AI is one that escapes its scope and decides to covert the entire planet into paperclips or something.

Although a lot of the current talk about evil AI being a threat is marketing hype and or an attempt to gatekeep potential new competitors.

That 2x suicide rate (which I doubt is true) ignores what the suicide rate would be without SSRIs. So if it doesn't completely solve the problem it's bad, even if it drastically reduces the problem.

Which is also why they seem to hate vaccines. At least they're consistent in their stupidity.

As far as I can tell, they want to negotiate with the paperclip factory. I'm not joking.

E: Oh no, it's worse, he wants everyone with the NL to be in a decentralized network, all working together against the AI. Imagine everyone excited about the Cybertruck as our last defense against the paperclip factory.

The challenge is the communication bandwidth is extremely slow, particularly output. When you’re outputting on a phone, you’re moving two thumbs very slowly. That’s crazy slow communication. … If the bandwidth is too low, then your integration with AI would be very weak. Given the limits of very low bandwidth, it’s kind of pointless. The AI is just going to go by itself, because it’s too slow to talk to. The faster the communication, the more you’ll be integrated—the slower the communication, the less. And the more separate we are—the more the AI is “other”—the more likely it is to turn on us. If the AIs are all separate, and vastly more intelligent than us, how do you ensure that they don’t have optimization functions that are contrary to the best interests of humanity? … If we achieve tight symbiosis, the AI wouldn’t be “other”—it would be you and with a relationship to your cortex analogous to the relationship your cortex has with your limbic system.

We’re going to have the choice of either being left behind and being effectively useless or like a pet—you know, like a house cat or something—or eventually figuring out some way to be symbiotic and merge with AI.

A house cat’s a good outcome, by the way.

Studies examining the efficacy of drugs and their side effects should be more thorough, it's true, some drugs have efficacy barely higher than placebo and the evidence for their approval has not been very strong. But on the other hand, this topic should be addressed by competent experts and not by some influencer (or whatever she is) on X (better known as twitter), because often things are far more complex than can be expressed in one short tweet.
For example, the proposed toxicology screen test in suicides would prove absolutely nothing, it is hard to differentiate between medications taken for medical treatment as opposed to those taken only to commit suicide, especially in the case of medically prescribed drugs.
Alcohol is also a very common toxicological finding. Various overpriced alcohol is also sold by Tesla as part of their merch - does this mean Tesla is promoting suicides?

I'm pretty sure AI porn of celebrities has been a chargeable offense since about two weeks after it first appeared. Enforcement has no chance whatsoever of keeping up with the tsunami, but if anyone has the means to actually crack down on it, it's Taylor Swift.

I'm like 99% positive that if you bitch about the "wokes" you probably got dragged online really badly at some point and are just blaming "sjws/liberals/lefties" for your own dumb rear end saying or doing something stupid. Unfortunately, this happens to everyone at some point (not just vs. "lefties", or whatever, in life you will inherently just find disagreement), and if your reaction was to fall back on "not my fault, it's the wokes" and you take shelter in the ""CHUD"" camp, it more says that you're a person who tends to double down than anything about your personal politics. Unless you are a CHUD, in which case poo poo, go off.

This is a hazard, though, because you were probably wrong, and likely stepped on someone's toes, or worse, infringed on someone else's wellbeing, which does make you a dick.

The double-down disconnect can also get worse because you kick the can of potential, post-feud mutual catharsis pretty hard if you keep going with it while still adrenalized and trading barbs, and at that point people just assume you're hard in the awkward or dumb paint and will pariah you. This phenomenon is probably visible and tangible from any ostensible "side" with a variety of effects.
