Episode Introduction

In this episode, we are going to discuss the ELIZA effect -- a common psychological bias that emerges from interactions with language models.

The "ELIZA effect" refers to a phenomenon in human-computer interaction, wherein people attribute understanding and emotion to a computer program that simply follows predefined rules. This concept is named after an early natural language processing computer program developed at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory by Joseph Weizenbaum in the mid-1960s.

Michelle Hammer is an activist, who makes videos and other content about her experience living with schizophrenia. Because, turns out, most of us don’t really know much about what schizophrenia actually is. She spends her time passionately fighting stigma, and even created a clothing brand to do just that - it’s called Schizophrenic.NYC, and its designs are intended to start conversations about mental health. They feature slogans like, “It’s not a delusion, you’re incredible.” and “Define normal.”

So I loved talking to Michelle about what schizophrenia actually looks and feels like, why getting her correct diagnosis was the best thing that ever happened to her, and how we can keep breaking down the stigma around mental illness.

In this episode, Josh talks to a long time friend Michelle Terry about what it was like for her and her brother to grow up with a dad who was diagnosed schizophrenic.  Together they discuss his mental illness, how we as humans find coping mechanisms to help us deal with the more serious parts of life and how her family was able to heal from the issues they faced years ago. They also discuss her charity work, and her ability to talk to the dead as a psychic medium.

When not contemplating deep spiritual truths and the nature of reality to the point of burning dinner, you’ll usually find Michelle juggling the joys of a full life. Like many modern renaissance women she flows through roles as mother, wife, employee, entrepreneur, amateur gardener, crochet artist, baker of sourdough breads she really shouldn't be eating, volunteer organizing force behind It Takes a Village Community Giving and yes, a fourth generation intuitive and psychic medium. She provides readings, coaching for intuitives, women’s circles and other events through Pure Love and Sisterhood.  Above all, her soul purpose is to hold space for compassion, divine love, humor and healing during life's most challenging moments. She wishes you clarity, love, strength and faith on your most unique journey – remember, keep a humble heart and an open mind and know there’s nothing but pure love supporting you on the other side.

Wow. This is a really, really crazy tale. Sacramento's Richard chase was very mentally ill. He was a paranoid schizophrenic who did not do well when he was off his meds. He was also a sadistic monster and its hard to give him a pass on the heinous acts he committed because of his psychological state. He brutally killed strangers and desecrated their bodies. He killed men, women, and children. He literally ate a baby. If you don't like the darker episodes, be sure to sit this one out. Not a tale for the squeamish!
