How Chicago succeeded in reducing drug overdose deaths
The city has adopted a ‘multifactorial approach to a multifactorial problem’ and has seen a 37% reduction in deaths since the national peak of the crisis
www.theguardian.com
In much of the country, there is no way to identify overdose spikes in real time, or even tell what contaminants in the drug supply might be killing people. Chicago is doing things differently. Part of my investigation series on overdose in America.

An U.S. citizen of Indian descent being questioned about Zohran Mamdani (as if there is something wrong with knowing who the mayor-elect of NYC is) by masked men.
Three masked agents questioned an Illinois Department of Transportation employee about his immigration status — and if he had traveled to New York and was “aware” of the mayor-elect in New York City, the governor’s office said.

I write often about how private equity is destroying US healthcare. Lina Khan is a rare person who has used her position in power to fight back against private equity’s hold on the US economy. Very excited to see what she does in New York.
If you don’t know Lina Khan, now is a great time to know about her. She’s now on Zohran Mamdani’s transition team. She’s also the former FTC Chair, only 36, & committed to leveling the playing field for everyday Americans. She is an absolute star. This is what hope feels like.

That makes sense! I just wonder if this concept has any rigor behind it yet or if it is a thing that just appears to be happening. Calling it “AI-induced psychosis” if another mental health condition and/or substance needs to be present for it to happen seems like a stretch.

I’ve heard the term “AI induced psychosis” floating around a lot recently. Is this an actual medical symptom that doctors are noticing? Or just a shocking sounding buzz phrase? Does anyone know?
