Study maps the embodied and somatic aspects of hallucination

All documented hallucinations co-occurred with bodily feelings. Feelings were localised to specific body areas, generalised across the body and extended beyond the body into peripersonal space. Co-occurring emotional feelings most commonly related to confusion, fear and frustration. [...] Hallucinations were characterised by numerous feelings arising at once, often including multimodal, emotional, and embodied features. Within this study, the immediate feeling of hallucination experiences were readily communicated through prospective, visual, and ecological information gathering methods and particularly those which offer multiple modes of communication (e.g. body-map, visual, written, oral). Uptake of visual, ecological and prospective methods may enhance understandings of lived experiences of hallucinations.

"In this job market, more workers are choosing AI over humans for career advice" (CNBC)

"More specifically, the Oracle study found that 82% of employees believe AI can support their careers better than humans."

#Comment: This has little to do with real advances in "AI" (I had the "pleasure" of working on interactive ML systems for career support at G), and a lot to do with the collapse of interpersonal relationships and trust. Related: "Thoughts on Sanity in Times of Automated Insanity"
