It's really important that clinicians are involved as generative #AI inevitably gets deployed in mental health services. It's important that we have a frame to think about safety as this starts to happen. Only clinicians can build this frame.

1. 🚨 Finally I get to share my new paper: "A Disproof of LLM Consciousness."
I show that *no* falsifiable and non-trivial theories of consciousness could ever work for LLMs.
Intriguingly, turns out that cracking continual learning might change this web3.arxiv.org/pdf/2512.1280…

Claim: gpt-5-pro can prove new interesting mathematics.
Proof: I took a convex optimization paper with a clean open problem in it and asked gpt-5-pro to work on it. It proved a better bound than what is in the paper, and I checked the proof it's correct.
Details below.
On the same day that Illinois steps in to regulate mental health AI, a complete coincidence that @DoSho and I have a paper on mental health AI safety published in BJPsych Bulletin Open Access. #AI #alignment

Those who attended our workshops at #RRNConf24 will be getting a thematic summary of the interactive collective intelligence exercise so that your great ideas don't get lost in the wind! Great to be around people who get that people are not numbers and organisations are not data.
Collective stupidity sounds like a negative concept, but it's actually helpful to think about how humans in groups foul things up, to plan how to engineer out system risk.

We're delighted to be joined by @LizDurrant19, speaking about the importance of creating a culture in which people feel they belong and an environment for the people we support and our staff to flourish. #RRNConf24

Next to take the stage is Alexis Quinn, RRN Manager, speaking about cultural restraint and asking the question, “What is a culture of care?” #RRNConf24

Good to see conversations happening about the nuts and bolts of AI disruption in clinical psychology and psychiatry. Patient safety has to be prime. Our minds are incredibly robust but also at times painfully fragile. Machines are incredibly helpful but currently, they don’t care
Important new qualitative study from Finland about unethical practice in inpatient psychiatry.

We've had good theory for a long time about how threat appraisal functions in anxiety states, yet in the popular conversation about mental health there's little about how, given what we know, mental health awareness might, for some, make anxiety worse.

Reviewers take note:
57% of people rejected their own argument when they thought it was someone else's. So take it easy with the criticism.
