Yesterday, Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.

Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressional mandated. They've saved millions of lives. 🧵

En gang holdt jeg på å fullstendig trampe ned en minstepensjonist i kommentarfeltet til en politiker på venstresiden i full kamplyst i det frie samfunnets ærend. Snakk om å miste gangsynet fullstendig. For en sammensatt myr vi har planta føttene i. Vi må ta sats og løfte oss ut.

Jeg kan ikke huske sist jeg var enig med SV eller AUF.
Men i kveldens #Debatten var de to de eneste voksne i rommet.
Oppførselen til @OleAsbjoernNess var bare pinlig.

[Aili R. Løchen @aiolien]

Skjervø beskriver her og i Debatten den 'voksne naiviteten' som har hersket i fredstid. Jeg tenker på alle som graver og leter frem kilden til motet som finnes i oss. Måtte vi finne rikelig av det, og nok til naboen og. Heldigvis er det smittsomt. Respekt for alle som våger.

Har skrevet i VG om at vi må forstå alvoret vår verden nå står i. Det hjelper ikke at Trump er en komisk figur, det hans bevegelse gjør med hele verdens trygghet er ikke mulig å le av.

Vi må våkne. Det kan gå bra, men det skjer ikke av seg selv.

@eivindtraedal Vi vokste opp delvis på Internett, overhodet ikke cringe å kunne snakke sammen på tvers.

@venturetwins @roanoke_gal Also, dependency. Dependency can look, for a while, like the condition is improving. A professional would at some point facilitate that the client starts practicing letting go and mending the trust and bonds to people around them. Tech has no reason to let go.

Not a measure of a fixed attribute called 'empathy', per se. Have we not succeeded yet in building structures that safeguard and nurture empathy between different fractions of society? That sounds like a huge, complex and meaningful issue for the 21st century. (2/2)

[Aili R. Løchen @aiolien]

I think we should be curious as to what systemic issues these kinds of studies reflect. Such as the selection, training, working conditions of people in health care. (1/2)

[Justine Moore @venturetwins]

Interesting new study on AI therapy.

Across a sample of 830 people, participants:

(1) couldn't tell the difference between ChatGPT and a human therapist,

(2) preferred responses written by ChatGPT on key psychotherapy principles like empathy

@joarhalvorsen Dette er ikke en enten eller situasjon egt. Gode samtaler om sårbare tema foregår på personens premisser, ikke bare 'du burde snakke mer om følelser' - man bør lyttes til på egne premisser med det man har vært gjennom. Noen kjenner seg fremmedgjort fra slikt språk med god grunn.

[Aili R. Løchen @aiolien]

@joarhalvorsen My guess regarding EMDR is that the hypnotic trance induced provides a safe distance to explore traumatic content. Also focuses on bodily awareness which is helpful for trauma processing. Took the course and was less impressed by the models and explanations provided there.

@nifti12 @enigmabrains NORMENT taught me to think like a scientist. Really grateful for the past years of experience. ☀️🌷

[Aili R. Løchen @aiolien]

@joarhalvorsen @Helsedir Hvis ikke det var variasjon hos behandlere hadde det vært enda vanskeligere for folk å bli friske enn det er i dag. Vi trenger mer, ikke mindre mangfold i tilnærminger, og gi klienter muligheten til å 'speed-date'/teste vannet med behandler før man forplikter seg til utredning.

[Aili R. Løchen @aiolien]

@VagnesLars @Kat__Woods If you're being guided every step of the way, it's not your own process yet. If you develop attachment and the tech doesn't know when to detach, you also risk becoming dependent. I'm sure we can figure out how to mitigate these risks but they should be part of the conversation.

[Aili R. Løchen @aiolien]

@VagnesLars @Kat__Woods For coaching yes. But then you still want to be told what to do and how to listen, be altruistic. So the AI needs to also know when to let go and not meddle with someone's process of listening inwards. If you've learned not to listen inwards, it's painful and frustrating as hell.

[Aili R. Løchen @aiolien]

@RobertRMorris If you walk away from the experience with GPT-3 that man, that was an amazing session and I feel so understood, but no human could possibly be this responsive and patient and good when I express how I feel, then you may have relief, but you still didn't mend the attachment wound.

[Aili R. Løchen @aiolien]

@RobertRMorris If we managed to create genuinely empathic systems, I wouldn't be too worried. What worries me is the approximation of it. A part of healing is through the experience that your pain could be held by another because in part it repairs trust.

[Aili R. Løchen @aiolien]

@Scobleizer @foxmediallc A part of the puzzle is you have to already 1) be interested and/or 2) be looking for support on these issues - and emotionally unsafe individuals, families and communities often act as if mental health either doesn't exist or that signs of trauma are signs of intrinsic weakness.

[Aili R. Løchen @aiolien]

@Scobleizer @foxmediallc Basically think we need both to increase access and general knowledge on these issues. AI can help increase knowledge on handling mental health issues on a low level (like Google searches already reflect) but trauma is still, often, caused, sustained and healed in relationships.
