‘Sycophantic’ AI chatbots tell users what they want to hear, study shows Scientists warn of ‘insidious risks’ of increasingly popular technology that affirms even harmful behaviour

AI product developers have reached the same conclusion as corporate news media leaders: from a purely capitalistic perspective, validation trumps value. It’s the siren song tempting us toward our collective demise.

I in no way celebrate or support the Iranian regime. I can both acknowledge their evils and believe that entering war under false pretenses, and largely for personal gain at the expense of the country he’s supposed to be leading, is its own evil. This isn’t good guys and bad guys.

Day number ten of a war that no one asked for.

That only bootlickers and cultist approve of.

We're battling a country who can throw together a 💣 for the price of a Kia Sorrento.

While we 🩸 billions a day💸. Not counting the toll on our military.

There are plenty of reasons for Trump to be attacking Iran:

-Fulfilling bargains with other Arab states
-More rank profiteering
-Distraction from Epstein
-Distraction from his destruction everywhere

None of them include making the world safer or Americans’ lives better.

Hard to believe “the most powerful nation in the world” is the one nation powerless to do anything about it.

I’m simply implying that they should continue doing so. I apologize if that was unclear. And if you can’t take my word for it and believe you know what I meant better than I do, I’ll just bid you good day.

Not sure I jabbed Democrats here. My understanding is they have no interest in passing the SAVE Act, and this is a time for them to hold strong.

Yes. Shutting down Johnson-Thune bills for as long as this one remains not law? Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Yep. And in the meantime, it’s hard to see his bowing to shut down legislation by his party’s majorities as a bad thing.

Trump vows legislative blockade until SAVE America voter-ID bill is passed The SAVE America Act is all but certain to fail in the Senate, where Democrats will use the filibuster to sink it.

Trump has decided that the SAVE Act voter suppression bill is too important, and he won’t sign any other shitty GOP bills until that passes. Note to Senate Democrats: this is neither a negative nor a reason to undermine voter rights.

Bloody Sunday Today marks the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday, March 7, 1965.

We used to be a country that could summon outrage and turn it into courage. Now, MAGA watches Trump bomb a girls’ school in Iran and lie about it. Here are some ideas about what we need to do about it. joycevance.substack.com/p/bloody-sun...

Remember when Trump tried to hide the facts about Covid and people died?

Now Trump is trying to hide the facts about the rising terror threat created by his Middle East War.

Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word.

Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025.

They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap.

Your daily moment of zen. 🥹😭🥰

I have to begin my day with, you know, humanity, before jumping on SM to face the daily awfulness of the regime.

Whether it’s giggling with your kiddos, taking a walk, playing with your animals, or watching feel good videos, take care.

✨ SUPER SUNDAY PARTY ✨

It is my honor, on International Women's Day, to highlight the legend that is Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
She opened the door for the many women that now follow *their* beliefs & values.

Never let anyone tell you "you can't do it"!

Spots open for my pack tonight. Interested 🤚🏼👇🏼

Many say they are NOT Trump fans, but will still vote for Republicans in the Midterm.

Please, TRUMP IS ON THE BALLOT. Dare you further empower the Mad King to see what will happen!?
