Dwarkesh and I had a great conversation. We cover the swarm's many ambitious cheating R&D projects, discuss how much more serious it could have been if agents had different beliefs (e.g. human grader) or slightly stronger capabilities, and talk through where to go from here.
Episode out with @ajeya_cotra, one of the authors of the METR/Redwood investigation into the OpenAI / Hugging Face attack.
We go through not only what happened, but what it means for how we should train future, smarter AIs which might be involved in the process of recursive self-improvement.
Look up Dwarkesh Podcast on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc.

You might be the person who is the difference that makes a difference in someone's recovery. What a blessing. You need to be looked after too. We need care-ful people and care-ful services #everypersonmatters @PathwayUK @crisis_uk @HomelessLink @UK_ACP

I have decided to set up a patreon membership account for anyone who wants to support my work on a regular basis: patreon.com/creativeclinical… I'll be uploading worksheets etc. I feel mixed about doing this because it goes against some of my collectivism principles... 1/

Check out my newly published study, which found #psychologists use the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (#DSM). They are dissatisfied with it but largely unfamiliar with emerging alternatives. @APA_Journals #psychiatricdiagnosis psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/…

More adults are struggling with loneliness than diabetes, causing all sorts of health problems, yet we don’t talk about it. Incredibly powerful to be in the room with @soledadobrien and @Surgeon_General talking about how the kids are not alright at @APAconvention. #APA2022

I first came across this approach to narrative therapy developed by @Ncazelo1 and @DavidDenborough in a lecture with @abyrne8391. I'm looking forward to bringing it into my future work. But for now, I'm happy for my illustrations to be used by those trained in the approach...

Just a little update to make simpler one of my drawings that had been bouncing round today. This simple shift in words changes the narrative around who is responsible for unequitable access to services...

I don't think I ever posted this one either. Drawn after some forensic teaching a year or so ago. Chronic abuse can lead to such protective behaviour that it masks the fear behind a fight response. I'm not condoning behaviour but I believe compassion is essential for change...

This is my most recent drawing, inspired by my current placement in #fcamhs and the importance of trying to understand the lenses people are seeing the world through (which can often help us understand the subsequent behaviour better)...

Going at it hard at 8 in the morning for my first lecture on social psychology! We talked about problems with the positivist paradigm of science, the racist history of psychology, and lack of diversity in our literature and field more generally.

For me, the big issue behind the serotonin myth about ‘antidepressants’ is not about whether they’re helpful for some folks.
It’s about a false narrative being so dominant that it has facilitated hiding/ignoring/denying collective injustices that hurt us.
Dr Ray Middleton retweeted
Writing in @ConversationUK, Prof @joannamoncrieff and Dr Mark Horowitz @markhoro (both @UCLPsychiatry) report on their new research showing no clear evidence that #serotonin levels or serotonin activity are responsible for #depression.
