A Critical Look at the Stigmatization of Psychedelic Therapies in the Wake of Personal Tragedies


From LSD's Fall to Ketamine's Crossroads A Critical Look at the Stigmatization of Psychedelic Therapies in the Wake of Personal Tragedies

In the wake of Matthew Perry's tragic death, attention has once again turned to the complex world of psychedelic therapeutics, with Ketamine placed at the center of the conversation. This pattern of public scrutiny is far from new; it traces back to the stigmatization of LSD, another psychedelic once celebrated for its therapeutic potential before being derailed by fear and misinformation. By examining these parallels, this article seeks to uncover the historically disruptive forces resurfacing today, threatening to undermine yet another promising frontier in mental health treatment.

The Hybridization of Humanity: AI, Psychedelic Intelligence, and the Evolutionary Leap

In scientific discovery and technological advancement, we are witnessing an unprecedented convergence of diverse fields – from artificial intelligence and materials science to psychedelic research and environmental conservation. The recent revelation by Google's AI project, GNoME, of 2.2 million new materials, including 380,000 stable ones, is not just an achievement in computational power but a hint towards an evolutionary leap for humanity.

Eye Contact Is Controversial Charisma

Controversial Charisma

In a video production context: 
I want Eye Contact tech to become more readily available. 
The automated software, that is. To replace a teleprompter during a recorded read of this or that text or script. 
The software looks fantastic, if not uncanny, and still very attractive to me at this early stage. It's still better than watching someone read something while looking off to the side.

Optimizing ChatGPT History /// A Pro Tip for the Avid User

Optimizing ChatGPT History for Idea Evolution and Enhanced Creativity

ChatGPT stands out as a remarkable tool, offering many possibilities for creative and intellectual exploration. 

However, to fully harness its potential, one must approach its history tab with a strategy akin to tending a garden of ideas. This approach, valuable for ChatGPT, is also a principle that should be universally applied across all language models, regardless of their developmental stage, so that you can stay on top of your idea game—Sans the weeds.

Liner Notes... to Self

Paper Off a Cliff - A Notebook of Lyrics by Brice Frillici

In 'Paper Off a Cliff', I bare my artistic process and soul in a highly visual and unfiltered journey of an artist who has chosen to embrace the entirety of their experience – the good, the bad, and the beautifully complex. The chaos of life is a symphony.

Diving into the abyss of your psyche is less about the fall and more about what you yell on the way down. The darkness, the depression, and the flirtations with the edge are like footnotes in my biography; the plot sometimes reads like a twisted psychological thriller.

Stone Moon Demon - New Book and Musical Album By Brice Frillici

In the vast, barren sands, there now stride giants of fable. Creatures melding man, wolf, and AI, casting dune-length shadows, painting a mosaic of what might be the final portrait of Earth's inhabitants.

Loab appears and stamps mythical markers into the deep. Many say a milestone similar to those left on Everest—a motivating factor for the otherwise too terrified to move forth.

Peaks once capped with snow now glisten with crystalline structures. The echoing cries of the hybrids replace the familiar sounds, a haunting symphony of nature's newest chapter.

AI Copyright Law

Back in April, we first covered the controversy of AI music when an AI track of Drake & The Weeknd went mega-viral. OGs, you remember this. Fast forward, and musicians have been clamoring for protection against AI. They haven’t had much success … until now. Enter Google and Universal Music: They’re joining forces to make sure artists get paid when AI creates new melodies using their voices. This is a HUGE win for the music world!!! Artists can now license their voices to companies that want to create new tunes and cash in while they’re at it. A true win-win. Why it matters: More and more big tech companies are stepping up to protect artists’ original content. Adobe's Firefly exclusively uses licensed artwork. Meta is doing the same for Audiocraft, its "ChatGPT for audio." And now, it's Google's turn. The partnership is early, but it’s the first legit solution we’ve seen to ensure creators get paid in the era of AI. - The Neuron

They Live

At the heart of this artistic exploration is a recognition of the symbiotic relationship between technology and creativity, a concept that pervades the pages of this book. This project is an in-depth exploration of the artistic potential of emerging artificial intelligence technologies, interwoven with influences and aesthetics from the 1988 cult film 'They Live' by John Carpenter and the distinctly humanistic touch and image framing style of the artist's previous works, most notably Sekdek.

MUSICIAN

The way I make music is different than this. I use my voice and instruments to physically play and record tracks. I also use effects to make things sound cool. I am half real and half technology. I use a computer to record analog sounds digitally for ease of editing. This person's method seems like an intelligent technology style of making music. I am not judging. I love Amon Tobin. His music is not possible via humans. What do you think about this method? Is it too easy? Why should music be difficult to make? What does this mean for the old-school musician if and when everyone can express themselves via technology and AI? Avoid nostalgia and romantic thoughts when answering yourself. Why does performance ability matter if one wants to make music? Why is there a gut feeling that it is less than? Is it? Why? Should it mostly matter if it sounds cool? If so, who cares where or how it was made? More and more, I do not. I still value Steve Vai. Or Hendrix. Or Mariah. Or Witney. Or Prince. However, if and when music is made that is as good as Chet Baker's and there is no human in the room, I will accept this the same as I accept Megadeth. There is no other choice. Do not hold on to the past. It will only keep you away from the future.

I'm using Midjourney. A text-to-image AI can create realistic and creative images from a simple text prompt. It is still under development, but it has already learned to generate high-quality images of various subjects.

One of Midjourney's most impressive capabilities is its ability to generate high-end graphic design and typography. It can create text in a variety of fonts, styles, and sizes, and it can even generate distorted or warped text to match the shape of an object. Midjourney is a powerful tool; however, AI-generated imagery can be strange. One of its limitations is that it cannot make coherent text, and it is often gibberish, or it may be nonsensical. Because Midjourney is not trained on a dataset of text, it does not have a natural language understanding model.

AI video and the midjourney Singularity

I'm very excited for when this gets better and Runway approaches Midjourney. Others generate better videos than this, but I still have no love for them, and it all looks boring to me in an aesthetic sense. But I still appreciate the awe and technology in action; AI art content is incredible. I'm all in for now. When this software (Runway Gen-1) generates vids at the same quality as how Midjourney does images, it will be an undeniable artistic force. For now, this is a footprint of the times. Look out for the Runway/Midjourney Singularity.

Watermark Moment: Closing in on the contact lens screen aka Elon Musk's Neural Link

 

This video serves to prove some obvious directions moving forward. Having the AI built into your body via wearables is what will happen. Holding a 4-7” technology brick up to our faces while experiencing arm numbness is a thing of the past. Why fight it? We all want the tech to incorporate into our brains, and we just don’t trust that this can occur without fuckery. But let’s keep imagining the tech somehow without any negatives and see where we can explore this reality because this is where it is at. Ghaaaaa…exciting times.
