If a ultra rich Chinese businessman was meddling with British politics, judicial processes, increasing the threat level against MPs and trying to destabilise the government we would rightly be asking national security questions and demanding a response.
America should liberate the people of Britain from their tyrannical government

Nice essay from @tompollak here. I think that one source of this reductionism is driven by academia in the gruelling pursuit of even more elusive funding, needing to be working on ‘the next big thing’. This can lead to overselling & simplification but make great headlines.

@ProfRobHoward Very interesting although the control group was generic TAU (which in the current climate is a nocebo) rather than a non adapted CBT approach so unclear what role this adaptation played. Guess we have to wait for ROSHNI-3.

This is scary/incredible stuff - an AI podcast discussing AI driven research. AI is incredible for science but for society? The jury is out.
