those who hoped that I might never return,
those will be disappointed.
I had a very lengthy 2 week ban because I didn’t pay attention to moderator warnings.
When I was off meds intrusive thoughts completely dominated me,
as you remember I opened dozens of topics about moving abroad.
Since July 20 I am on olanzapine 10 mg, and I can say that, my intrusive thoughts have weakened considerably.
I hope they will weaken further.
It was hell to go unmedicated for 4 years, although I admit that life on olanzapine is also difficult.
However the situation with intrusive thoughts became much better,
and I plan to stay on olanzapine unless I gain weight massively( if I gain 5 kg I will start worrying),
which I very much hope won’t happen.
I believe that now that I am on medication and intrusive thoughts are much weaker, I shouldn’t get banned again.
@exhile jokes aside, I think that artificial intelligence ( in a more advanced form than exists today)
can help make huge leaps forward in science and medicine.
Your concerns about the development of robots are legitimate,
but I believe they are somewhat alarmist.
@Erez_Shmerling A few days ago, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg were having different points of view on A.I. I’m not sure what 2 tech/Internet giants debating will have on the industry but I hope it’ll be positive. Apple HomePod, Google Home and Amazon Echo are a few A.I. products that are available today.
hi @anon80629714
I had a very difficult night. Woke up past 4 pm Israel time.
I feel bad but, what can I do I try to improve, I try to get better and, maybe, one day a cure will be developed.
take care.
