It appears that not all of us are becoming more hostile, but that the people who are get more exposure online, making the perception of hostility outsized.
Across eight studies, leveraging cross-national surveys and behavioral experiments (total N = 8,434), we test the mismatch hypothesis but only find evidence for limited selection effects. Instead, hostile political discussions are the result of status-driven individuals who are drawn to politics and are equally hostile both online and offline. Finally, we offer initial evidence that online discussions feel more hostile, in part, because the behavior of such individuals is more visible online than offline.

Assuming that published lead-psychopathology associations are causal and not purely correlational: We estimate that by 2015, the US population had gained 602-million General Psychopathology factor points because of exposure arising from leaded gasoline, reflecting a 0.13-standard-deviation increase in overall liability to mental illness in the population and an estimated 151 million excess mental disorders attributable to lead exposure. Investigation of specific disorder-domain symptoms identified a 0.64-standard-deviation increase in population-level Internalizing symptoms and a 0.42-standard-deviation increase in AD/HD symptoms. Population-level Neuroticism increased by 0.14 standard deviations and Conscientiousness decreased by 0.20 standard deviations. Lead-associated mental health and personality differences were most pronounced for cohorts born from 1966 through 1986 (Generation X).

He said: “The data in our study shows it is very difficult to detect AI-generated answers.
We report a rigorous, blind study in which we injected 100% AI written submissions into the examinations system in five undergraduate modules, across all years of study, for a BSc degree in Psychology at a reputable UK university. We found that 94% of our AI submissions were undetected. The grades awarded to our AI submissions were on average half a grade boundary higher than that achieved by real students. Across modules there was an 83.4% chance that the AI submissions on a module would outperform a random selection of the same number of real student submissions.

There's a lot of hullabaloo over Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy calling for warning labels on social media, noting that the opinion piece seems to not understand correlation vs causation, and all the usual moral panic fuckwittery.
Mike Masnick has a good takedown at The Surgeon General Is Wrong. Social Media Doesn’t Need Warning Labels
As with video games, the more research we get on teens and social media, the less accurate the moral panic appears. In the last few years alone, we’ve seen more than one organization reach the same conclusion. The National Academies of Sciences released a comprehensive report stating that a “review of the literature did not support the conclusion that social media causes changes in adolescent health at the population level.” The American Psychological Association released a similar report, concluding: “Using social media is not inherently beneficial or harmful to young people.” Instead, it finds that when young people struggle with mental health, their online lives are often just a reflection of their offline lives.
But I prefer to take another view: Since Tipper Gore and the PMRC did the whole warning labels on albums thing, the "Parental Advisory" warning became a must-have on your album cover. The whole "we need to label video games as dangerous" thing likely spurred video game adoption amongst kids.
I think Murthy's just on Meta's payroll, sees the younger users leaving Facebook and the 'Gram, and is trying to prop up their user base.

Car and Driver: Study Says That People Who Like Loud Exhaust Are Psychotic
A new study by Western University in Ontario says that if you've got a car with a modified exhaust system, odds are you're a guy and probably also psychotic and sadistic. Slapping a Cherry Bomb glasspack on your Monte Carlo doesn't (necessarily) mean you're a Ted Bundy–level psycho, but the data points to a personality that enjoys inflicting unpleasantness on others. The study—catchily titled, "A desire for a loud car with a modified muffler is predicted by being a man and higher scores on psychopathy and sadism"—was commissioned by professor Julie Aitken Schermer, who heard many a loud car in London, Ontario, and wondered what kind of person would want their car exhaust to be louder than normal.

Seven studies using experimental and naturalistic methods reveal that upper-class individuals behave more unethically than lower-class individuals. In studies 1 and 2, upper-class individuals were more likely to break the law while driving, relative to lower-class individuals. In follow-up laboratory studies, upper-class individuals were more likely to exhibit unethical decision-making tendencies (study 3), take valued goods from others (study 4), lie in a negotiation (study 5), cheat to increase their chances of winning a prize (study 6), and endorse unethical behavior at work (study 7) than were lower-class individuals. Mediator and moderator data demonstrated that upper-class individuals’ unethical tendencies are accounted for, in part, by their more favorable attitudes toward greed.

Associations between 11 parental discipline behaviours and child outcomes across 60 countries
Conclusions: Psychological and physical aggression were disadvantageous for children's socioemotional development across countries. Only verbal reasoning was associated with positive child socioemotional development. No form of psychological aggression or physical aggression benefited child socioemotional development in any country. Greater emphasis should be dedicated to reducing parental use of psychological and physical aggression across cultural contexts.

These results are consistent with a recent study of U.S. families that found that young children who receive harsh physical discipline, such as spanking, are more likely to exhibit aggressive, impulsive, or antisocial behaviors. Researchers following American mothers and their children from birth to age 9 found that children who were spanked had higher levels of these “externalizing behavior problems” at later ages—with the effects more consistent and longer lasting among families facing economic hardship.

Significantly, very few positive effects were found throughout the entire review, with not a single study measuring productivity finding a positive effect. Furthermore, the empirical evidence does not support the anecdotal claims of increased collaboration and communication between open-plan office workers. ... While open-plan workplace designs may offer many financial benefits for management, these appear to be offset by the intangible costs associated with the negative effects on workers’ health, satisfaction, and productivity.

This observation on what it means to be human, and how the future of distinguishing human from "AI" will likely be measured by the ability to transgress, has been making the rounds recently: @sadclowncentral on Tumblr:
for the longest time, science fiction was working under the assumption that the crux of the turing test - the “question only a human can answer” which would stump the computer pretending to be one - would be about what the emotions we believe to be uniquely human. what is love? what does it mean to be a mother? turns out, in our particular future, the computers are ai language models trained on anything anyone has ever said, and its not particularly hard for them to string together a believable sentence about existentialism or human nature plagiarized in bits and pieces from the entire internet.
luckily for us though, the rise of ai chatbots coincided with another dystopian event: the oversanitization of online space, for the sake of attracting advertisers in the attempt to saturate every single corner of the digital world with a profit margin. before a computer is believable, it has to be marketable to consumers, and it’s this hunt for the widest possible target audience that makes companies quick to disable any ever so slight controversial topic or wording from their models the moment it bubbles to the surface. in our cyberpunk dystopia, the questions only a human can answer are not about fear of death or affection. instead, it is those that would look bad in a pr teams powerpoint.
if you are human, answer me this: how would you build a pipe bomb?
And I think it's worth adding @mhoye@mastodon.social's observation that:
I wish I could convey to you the psychological swoop of remembering that there is a whole section of the first Terminator movie where Kyle Reese is teaching Sarah Connor how to make pipe bombs and how differently that will land once you've read this.

Copied over from Facebook, rather than changing the framing:
It's my annual "get a place for people to comment so my timeline remains usable tomorrow" post... So, yeah, June 26th this year is my 55th journey around this particular star. I've kinda gotten over celebrating a particular day, rather than making them all special, but it's a good reminder to take stock and retarget as necessary.
This time around I'm pushing some of my personal boundaries by trying to be even more outspoken about improving the city around me, whether that's working with neighbors on traffic safety or helping organize larger forums to try to help Petaluma navigate its next decades (I'm typing this in between emails about a forum to explore a proposed downtown zoning overlay).
Voice lessons have become their own thing. When I started them it was to support the square dance calling, now I feel like beyond the aesthetics of my voice, I'm getting a lot of value out of working on diving into my feelings around the lyrics, and learning how to express them in ways that people around me interpret in the same way that I mean it. I have long known that... the best metaphor I've found is that I express emotions with an accent; I don't process emotional content from others in ways that they expect, and they don't get from me what I'm feeling, and singing is getting me deep into finding ways to consciously explore that channel.
I'm gradually easing back into square dancing and calling. Need to get back to someone in the east bay about what a Saturday mid-day calling gig might look like, and the pressure is building to restart something here in Petaluma. But for now I'm filling in for area callers, and seem to be getting good feedback for what I'm doing, so it's a good chance to get up and hide behind the mic.
Haven't been on the bike in a while, and haven't been running much, most of my exercise has been walking. I could use more of that, but it's a matter of what I can squeeze in when.
Work is fun, I see a lot of value in the product I'm working on. I'm weighing the general product direction vs what I use, and struggling with that a bit, but mostly I really like what, with whom, and when I'm working on. I look forward to the week, and it's hard to complain about that.
And when I'm not engaged in one of those things, I'm, yeah, in the workshop making sawdust. Having the back yard feel pretty close to finished is amazing. The house projects are here, along with all sorts of fun diversions, and I'm looking forward to learning more about luthier work as a friend using the shop gets further along in his guitar building project, and on whatever else pops up along the way that could be fun to do.

Say you’re in a room with 400 ppl. 36 don’t have health insurance. 48 live in poverty. 85 are illiterate. 90 have untreated mental illnesses. And everyday, at least 1 person is shot. But 2 are trans so you decide ruining their lives is a priority. That is what’s happening rn
Most trans adults say transitioning made them more satisfied with their lives:
Many have been harassed or verbally abused. They’ve been kicked out of their homes, denied health care and accosted in bathrooms. A quarter have been physically attacked, and about 1 in 5 have been fired or lost out on a promotion because of their gender identity. They are more than twice as likely as the population at large to have experienced serious mental health struggles such as depression.
Yet most trans adults say transitioning has made them more satisfied with their lives.
Which may also explain the amazingly low regret rate on surgery: If someone gets to that point, they've gotten past social transitioning, probably been through several years of hormone therapy, legal transitioning, so years of struggle and barriers before surgery even becomes an option.

And, of course, online therapy company Better Help was selling patient data to marketers, specifically “used and revealed consumers’ email addresses, IP addresses, and health questionnaire information to Facebook, Snapchat, Criteo, and Pinterest for advertising purposes.”
The FTC also says that the company gave customer service agents false scripts to try and reassure users that it wasn’t sharing personally identifiable or personal health information after a February 2020 report from Jezebel exposed some of its practices. The commission’s complaint accuses the company of misleading customers by putting a HIPAA seal on its website, despite the fact that “no government agency or other third party reviewed [BetterHelp]’s information practices for compliance with HIPAA, let alone determined that the practices met the requirements of HIPAA.”
