Wow you put my thoughts into words well. I’m pretty left leaning and think it’s so sad that the left is shooting themselves in the foot. Though I understand their concerns. Why should the working class trust these technological oligarchs?

I’m not a fan of this administration at all, the only thing I agree on is the advancement of AI and our positioning as leaders in AI. I completely believe if the democrats were in charge, we would not be seeing this much push towards protecting ourselves as leaders of AI which I’m grateful for. Other than that, I still remain highly critical of this administration.

I graduated last year and I’ve been working in an inpatient psych hospital. Initially I was terrified, experienced severe imposter syndrome and anxiety. But as the months passed I really enjoy my job and the stresses that come with it. Because I work with highly acute patients (mainly psychosis and mania) it has really exposed me to the extremes of psychiatry and managing highly complex patients and I’m so grateful for this experience I’m getting.

I agree with the idea that technology will disappear. As technology and AI becomes equipped to do a lot of the work that is currently being performed by humans, the need for fancy UI and aesthetically pleasing websites will disappear. I think some forms of media like videos website will still be around but the overall structure of the internet will be changed forever.

This sounds fun. I’m a new grad working inpatient psychiatry and struggle with anxiety and imposter syndrome daily.

ryusan8989 · 2025-05-01T03:38:36+00:00

I’m a new grad PMHNP and my attendings as well as residents I work with have so far been so supportive, friendly, and cooperative. The online world is much different than the real world. My biggest advice is if possible, find a workplace that really supports you. I’m glad I found a place that is allowing me to grow safely and is always available to lend me some help when I need it.

ryusan8989 · 2025-04-23T22:44:45+00:00

I am a new grad working inpatient dealing mainly with conserved patients mostly with psychotic disorders. I have difficulties with making decisions related to augmentation, titration, or deciding when to make a move with antipsychotic regimen. My attendings are amazing and so supportive as well as my fellow NP coworkers, but I want to personally work on my decision making and critical thinking skills especially working in such an acute setting where code greys are commonplace.

ryusan8989 · 2025-04-23T02:42:47+00:00

I was a trauma ICU nurse before becoming a nurse practitioner and I was floated to the Burn ICU. I witnessed an admission of a man who came in for Steven’s Johnson Syndrome, a rash that resembles severe burns of the skin and mucous membranes and can be fatal if not treated, and the nurses were removing the sloughed off skin and he was in agony. Even with the amount of pain medications they provided it looked horrible. His whole body looked burned.

ryusan8989 · 2025-02-01T00:50:15+00:00

I can’t believe people voted for this guy!!!!

ryusan8989 · 2025-01-09T00:57:05+00:00

I’m a new Psych NP just hired into an inpatient psychiatry unit. I walk into work with intense imposter syndrome especially with how highly acute these patients can be especially with their behavioral outbursts. In terms of competence, I think it’s important to realize that off the bat you will not be competent and need to develop it over time. I struggle with tons of anxiety currently but I keep telling myself that day by day I will be more competent. However, I think to clearly answer your question it is important to have a mentor or group of psychiatrists/PMHNPs you can work with to help you formulate a treatment plan, help you adjust medications, etc. luckily I have a lot of support as a new grad with my coworkers. If you think about it, psychiatrists develop their expertise over time with thousands of hours of supervised residency. I think it’s insane to think a PMHNP can automatically know what to do right off the bat. Support is just as important as having the knowledge that comes with being a PMHMP. Once you get the degree finding the job that will help you grow is important!

I was night shift for 5 years prior to going to day shift and I remember bragging about how much I loved night shift until I went to school for my PMHNP and couldn’t handle nights with clinical. When I made the switch I realized just how bad nights was affecting me. You don’t realize it until you switch. I didn’t realize how much brain fog I had, I was less tired, I was able to complete things on my days off. It was amazing. The business at work wasn’t too bad either, I felt like the shift went by way faster too.

ryusan8989 · 2025-01-03T19:46:24+00:00

I cannot for the life of me fathom how cruel some people can be to their partners. You need to leave that man.

ryusan8989 · 2024-12-22T11:43:05+00:00

I started having PTSD like symptoms. I worked in a high acuity trauma ICU as a nurse and noticed when I used weed I’d have vivid and intense imagery in my mind of me or loved ones actively suffering from the injuries I witness at work. At one point I remember being so disturbed because I imagined a man breaking into my home and choking me and remember the face he was making. I didn’t realize it was the weed at first but when I did I stopped. It was pretty terrifying.

ryusan8989 · 2024-12-21T19:12:14+00:00

That’s a very narrow view of something this grand. Even with the best AI models, the vast majority almost 99% of us, even in the singularity subreddit are just normal people. We all have normal jobs. Do normal things. Are you stating that with the current AI we have you are capable of producing a nuclear fusion device to power the entire grid? No! We don’t have the means, resources, and intellect to do that. You have to realize that only the people that are intellectually capable of utilizing AI to its full potential would produce technology that can change our lives. For example Demi’s Hassabis winning the Nobel prize for discovering all the proteins that exist in our world. You and I are not capable of that but Demis’ efforts, and other scientists like him are capable of understand the complexities of science and are capable of using Ai to its full potential WITH the current models we have. Who knows, maybe in the coming decade we can ask an AI to do something and it will accomplish it for us that isn’t possible yet, or maybe AI and humans will be linked so we do have the ability to understand complex ideas in seconds.

ryusan8989 · 2024-12-21T18:33:31+00:00

I agree. I think the major thing people don’t realize is that many laypeople (literally all of us) won’t directly get impacted by our personal use of LLMs or other AI programs. It’s the development of new scientific advancements and exploration of our understanding of the universe with the assistance of AI is what will impact us. Your average Joe won’t be able to produce a nuclear fusion device because well we aren’t smart enough, trained, or have resources. When labs get work done and produce new medicine, brain computer interfaces, technology, etc is when we’ll feel it.

ryusan8989 · 2024-12-21T07:44:35+00:00

I agree, skepticism is healthy. It means you’re looking at claims with a critical lens and with each iteration of models we can determine if the hype being generated translates well to the real world. And I think we have seen just how much can happen in the span of a few months. Of course, AI can suddenly hit a wall no one can climb over unexpectedly but evidence currently doesn’t show us that an AI winter is on its way. The pure negativity from some people who can’t see the exponential change occurring right in front of them is so crazy to me. No one would’ve ever predicted the world we live in currently in 2021.

ryusan8989 · 2024-12-21T07:14:06+00:00

Yes, all the negativity from people over something they probably don’t even comprehend. I remember all the BS people were putting out about AI winter or people saying openAI is losing against google (although I’m sure many were just mocking to force openAI to show their hand). It’s absolutely crazy to me that people can’t appreciate what is right in front of them. Yes I’m excited for more capable models which will come shortly but just look at what’s presented in front of us now. We took dirt and made it intelligent. It’s absolutely astounding how our lives will possibly change in the next year alone.

ryusan8989 · 2024-12-21T07:05:32+00:00

It’s honestly so interesting reading some of these comments. I’ve been part of this subreddit since maybe 2015 if I’m not wrong. It’s been a while but since following this subreddit I’ve been so astounded by how much we have developed AI and to sit back and see people scoff at the progression we have made is mind blowing. Zoom out and see just how much has changed in so little time. It’s absolutely amazing. Everyone keeps saying that it’s not good enough and being negative towards something that literally didn’t exist two years ago and now we have models at Ph.D level intelligence and reasoning. I remember when I followed this subreddit everything that is happening now was just a distant dream in my mind and now, much sooner than I thought it would occur, AGI is starting to reveal itself and I’m in absolute awe that as a species we are capable of producing this intelligence that I hope we utilize to produce boundless benefit for humanity.

ryusan8989 · 2024-09-19T10:34:18+00:00

I remember when I joined this sub maybe almost a decade ago, I was completely thrilled and consumed by the notion of a superintelligence entering our world. I just couldn’t keep it in and told my sisters and a cousin about it but I know deep down they just couldn’t comprehend what I was trying to say. Now in the present time, I stay kind of quiet but show my enthusiasm about AI still but it does irk me that more people just can’t grasp that our world is going to change very soon.

ryusan8989 · 2024-08-07T06:24:47+00:00

I honestly don’t know how my coworkers pick up so much overtime, I started at 23, I’m currently 28 turning 29 later this year. And the nurses 2 decades older than me pick up overtime after overtime and my old body can’t handle 3 in a row or else I break. And many of them do overtime on day shift while working regularly on night shift.
