I am fairly sure of that as well.

I am not a summary bot and this is what I was able to determine from the title:

Disney creates task force to explore AI so it can fire as many people as possible.

This was summarized by CrapGPT.

Oh it's totally reasonable to bring it up but I still wouldn't do it though.

Rarely have I had a company be upfront about any issues they have so I am more than willing to reciprocate.

Doesn't matter. It all tastes the same.

Addiction. That is what nicotine does to peoples brains. It makes people ignore the consequences to their own body. (I say this while toking on a vape. However, I haven't smoked a cigarette in a while, so that is nice.)

People are just generally idiots.

I have never had a problem with that. If it's a prescription and it shows on a test, it's not any business of the prospective employer. When I am at the testing facility, I always disclose to them that I am taking amphetamines. I dunno if they have a box they need to check off for that, but I really don't care. Since my medications are legal, any disclosure of that testing data would fall directly into the category of HIPAA and not something your average company can handle.

At least in the US, scheduled medication is tracked fairly hard. I suspect my name would come up if the testing facility checks for that kind of thing. (Just speculation: I have no idea how the system works on the backend.)

More speculation: There may be specific markers in legal, scheduled medications. Is that a thing? If so, it might be a clue into legal or illegal use for the test.

I have had little improvement with my concentration and still lean heavily on my daily Adderall so I can be functional at life.

To my limited understanding, most people with ADD/ADHD also have anxiety and depression. I mean, it makes sense. We tend to struggle with things that most other people find simple or second nature and that is extremely stressful. I believe that is the source of the anxiety, which can lead to depression after a while. Just my theory, anyway.

If you do decide to try psychedelics, remember that you are just going for a small journey inside your own brain and it can be jarring as fuck the first couple of times. However, I personally welcome what others might consider a "bad trip". My personal view is that a "bad trip" is part of my mind that I need to confront and understand at an extremely personal level.

With practice, I have learned to shut off negative emotions as easily as turning off a light switch. It's a very peculiar feeling, to say the least.

And yes. Extreme empathy is one of the best feelings you can get and it is also something I am trying to carry with me into my daily life. It really is a powerful experience to feel connected with everything around you.

At the end of the day, If you are in a comfortable environment and have some good music going, it is a very healthy thing to do.

I could go on for hours, but alas, it is late.

Take care!

Yeah, its been an interesting transformation for me over the last few months, for sure. Psilocybin stopped being a party drug for me a while ago, actually. The drug isn't "showing me things" that I didn't already know, TBH. What I it is allowing me to do is parse through the extremely complex mind-fuck that I have been building for myself over the last 40 years.

My depression is gone and my anxiety is fading. I stopped my SSRIs a few weeks ago and had the mildest withdrawal from them that I have ever had in my life. My sleeping habits need a fuck ton more work, but one problem at a time.

Similar to Stamets and his story about stuttering, I am learning that I have much more control over my body than I previously realized, mood included.

I don't want to go so far as say it is a miracle drug, but it is absolutely rebuilding parts of my brain that I was trying to extinguish with hardcore alcoholism. There is something to this.

More controlled research please. If anyone needs a guinea pig for lab testing, sign me the fuck up! (I am trying to get in a study at UC Boulder this year so they can poke at me a bit.)

It wouldn't come up in an interview, unless it's a tiny business.

Being ADHD myself, it wouldn't surprise me if the person above made it a topic of conversation themselves. Inability to shut ones mouth is something I am more than familiar with.

I personally would prefer more testing of psychedelics, like psilocybin. While that acts on the 5HT2A receptors causing more serotonin to be available (similar to SSRIs) it could potentially help with all of those conditions you listed as well. It absolutely helps my depression and anxiety and seems to have helped others.

Oh. You can't patent a widely available mushroom. I grow and give them out for free.

Don't tell them next time.
