So, is AI a mental health miracle or a total minefield? Honestly, it’s both.

A 2025 study in Psychology Today found AI can cut depression symptoms by 51%—huge for anyone stuck on a six-month waitlist.

But Stanford HAI warns that bots often miss the “human messiness.” In one scary test, a bot actually gave specific info on a bridge when a user hinted at a crisis.

“AI can amplify the best of human knowledge, but it can also codify our worst biases.” — Stanford HAI

The takeaway? Great for a midnight vent or basic coping tools, but it’s not a human replacement yet.

What is your thoughts?

Finished watching Jekyll and Hyde S1. I wish they would do seasons 2. 😕 I enjoyed the TV show. Hopefully, Netflix would pick it up and resume S2?

ITV’s 2015 Jekyll and Hyde was axed after one season due to

• its 6:30 PM slot.
• Gritty violence sparked 800+ Ofcom complaints, ruling it unfit for kids.
• Ratings crashed from 4.3M to 1.8M.

What we missed: Creator Charlie Higson had Season 2 written! Robert was set to find his father in Sri Lanka and join the MIO. Instead, the cliffhanger stands: after the finale’s chaos, Higson joked, “They’re all dead!” A cult classic cut short by bad timing.

This example clearly shows AI at its sloppiest…

A process that looks realistic combined with vague insinuations of corporate misconduct and no verifiable claims equals maximum engagement with minimal responsibility.

It’s not meant to be art or satire. Its purpose is simply to catch someone’s eye, evoke a brief alarm, and prompt sharing.

Sharing this fake video can be risky, especially if people can’t tell if it’s real or not. Be vigilant and do your research.

It is hilarious. Some people fell for it! Check it out below.

At 116, Ethel Caterham is the world's oldest living person — the oldest ever, France's Jeanne Calment who reached 122. Supercentenarians are extremely rare. They have lived history — wars, moon landings, the internet. Multiple lifetimes packed into one.

Spain's María Branyas Morera, who reached 117, credited her longevity simply:

"an orderly life that is socially very pleasant… a good life, without excesses."

Admirable. But with robots, rising chaos, wars, and the world feeling more unhinged by the day — do we even want to stick around that long?

Clocks spring forward tonight at 2 AM. Yes, you lose an hour of sleep. But hey — longer evenings are coming, and that’s worth something. Right? 😅

Watched: Firebreak

A grieving mother whose young daughter vanishes near their remote family cabin — with a massive wildfire bearing down on them.

Firebreak — an intense but maddening thriller. Emotional but often illogical — lots of shouting and weak explanations. That said, the ending trades tension for something unexpectedly soft. Make of that what you will.

Personally, I'd skip it. But if you want to see for yourself, go ahead.
