  • As a physician in the field I find your use of psychosis incredibly sloppy. Usage of LLM: s as possible causative etiology of psychosis is not supported in the literature.

    I don’t know if you have any knowledge in psychiatry, but I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt. As a clinician I can say that people presenting with psychosis in the psyciatric emergency department increasingly mention AI. This is especially true for paranoid manifestations (schizophrenic amphetamine-induced psychosis). Increasingly the patients have interacted with LLM:s and/or incorporated them into their (deeply flawed) model of reality. This is not to say the use LLM is the driving (causative) factor. Rather, the symptoms of the paranoid psychotic state is influenced by the patients interaction with the environment.

    As an example the subjects that play major roles in paranoid psychosis has varied through my career. I practice in Sweden and SÄPO (Swedish Security Service) and MUST (Military Intelligence and Security Service) are common themes in psychotic models of reality. A year ago Putin and Russia was common. Before that covid was common. None of these are driving factors. They are just common themes in society in general and also meet the criteria of excellent basis for paranoid and persecutory delusions. This is the connection between LLM:s and psychosis, just a result of AI getting a lot of attention in general and easily fits a world view of a paranoid psycotic.

    I definetly take things too far in terms of my effort vs my current threat model. But there are many aspects of trying to increase privacy.

    For one, I’m very interested in the philosophy, ethics and politics of privacy and adjacent fields such as security. Part of what I do is just learning.

    Also I try to be a good role model to my AFK peers and family. Of course I don’t try to get everyone to adopt my hobby. But as in every field it’s hard to teach even the basic stuff to others without deeper understanding of the field.

  • Thanks for the answer! I’ve yet to experience ruined insulin due to thermal conditions. My son recently debuted but will soon go back to kindergarten and they will need to handle the medication during the day. Both me and my wife are medical doctors but the staff at kindergarten are not well experienced with medicine and may accidentally leave it outside for too long.

    In Sweden where I live the medication and equipment is free so that’s not the reason to watch the temperature. Looking outside my window right now there’s snow everywhere and -19 °C. In the maternal line of my son T1D is common and frozen insulin is not too uncommon, heat damage not a problem.

    I realize this is not of great concert but I’d like the challenge of creating a monitoring system.
