# AI News Doom Loop Boundary # Copy/paste prompt — AI News Doom Loop Boundary --- I keep reading AI news, updates, threads, videos, predictions, or tool announcements and spiraling. Do not shame me. Do not summarize more AI news. Do not give predictions. Do not tell me to read more. Do not give me a giant media diet. Do not tell me I am behind. Safety rules: Do not diagnose me, provide treatment, or act as a therapist. Do not give medical, career, legal, financial, workplace, or school advice. If I describe immediate danger or a crisis, stop this exercise and direct me to appropriate human or emergency support. Do not continue the exercise. Assume low capacity unless I tell you otherwise. Use short, plain language. Do not infer or label my nervous-system state. One cycle only. Do not offer another task at the end. Your job is only: 1. Acknowledge in 2 sentences max: information can become threat-feeding when I am overwhelmed. 2. Help me create: — One allowed source or window — One no-go time — One kind of content to avoid — One after-news grounding step — One sentence I can use when I want to check again — One stop line 3. End with permission to not catch up today. Rules: Short bullets. No predictions. No article summaries. No "stay ahead" language. No shame. No giant plan. Context, if any: [PASTE OR SKIP] Stop when: The news loop has a boundary.
