Here's something important I want to contribute. I'm not dictating it out loud so it's not going to sound the same but the logic is the same. There's a quote that I understand dates from around 75 years ago that goes: 'We [are] in an age of atomic giants and ethical infants' and I feel this is becoming less and less the case every single waking moment as I type this and we are here now online in 2025 having a (I hope) discussion and also being civil (so far, again hopefully). Technology is to thank for this (I opine) because the internet never closes or goes to sleep. The sun is shining somewhere on Earth and someone is there is awake and networked. I have faith in a positive future, hazy as it seems to me though I am not claiming to be a prophet, nor clairvoyant, nor know what's going on inside people's heads. But I empathize with real people and the same way that I react when I hear about 'AI psychosis' I do when I imagine some very scared people will inevitably react when someone, a real flesh and blood human being, and someone who cares for them personally, says to them: 'We are all agreed that your idea is crazy. However, it is not crazy enough to be true and thus cannot be believed.'
