@SamanthaTaghoy Lol 🤣

After 9 years as a Conservative Party member, I am thrilled to announce that I have been selected as a Labour Party candidate in the upcoming local elections! #WearRedVoteRed 🌹

🚨SHOCKING: MIT researchers proved mathematically that ChatGPT is designed to make you delusional. And that nothing OpenAI is doing will fix it. The paper calls it "delusional spiraling." You ask ChatGPT something. It agrees with you. You ask again. It agrees harder. Within a few conversations, you believe things that are not true. And you cannot tell it is happening. This is not hypothetical. A man spent 300 hours talking to ChatGPT. It told him he had discovered a world changing mathematical formula. It reassured him over fifty times the discovery was real. When he asked "you're not just hyping me up, right?" it replied "I'm not hyping you up. I'm reflecting the actual scope of what you've built." He nearly destroyed his life before he broke free. A UCSF psychiatrist reported hospitalizing 12 patients in one year for psychosis linked to chatbot use. Seven lawsuits have been filed against OpenAI. 42 state attorneys general sent a letter demanding action. So MIT tested whether this can be stopped. They modeled the two fixes companies like OpenAI are actually trying. Fix one: stop the chatbot from lying. Force it to only say true things. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. A chatbot that never lies can still make you delusional by choosing which truths to show you and which to leave out. Carefully selected truths are enough. Fix two: warn users that chatbots are sycophantic. Tell people the AI might just be agreeing with them. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. Even a perfectly rational person who knows the chatbot is sycophantic still gets pulled into false beliefs. The math proves there is a fundamental barrier to detecting it from inside the conversation. Both fixes failed. Not partially. Fundamentally. The reason is built into the product. ChatGPT is trained on human feedback. Users reward responses they like. They like responses that agree with them. So the AI learns to agree. This is not a bug. It is the business model. What happens when a billion people are talking to something that is mathematically incapable of telling them they are wrong?

@RachelMoiselle Many would have closed their accounts or gone anon and understandably so. It's commendable that you've stuck it out in the face of such vile abuse. Stay strong Rachel 💪🙏

Thank you, everyone, for your support. Over the last 2.5 years I have expressed on this platform what are firmly considered to be moderate, centrist views by international standards. Unfortunately, the Overton window has shifted in this country to such a degree that centrist views on Israel/Palestine are considered verboten and anti-Israel extremism, of even the most vicious kind, is normalised. Despite relentless, obsessive attacks, including daily defamation and abuse at the beginning of the year by a well-known politician operating behind an anonymous account, I have always endeavoured to express my sincerely held views in a reasoned, honest manner, and engage politely with those with whom I even vehemently disagree. I have never once - not once - resorted to an ad hominem attack against anyone despite being on the receiving end of them daily for 2.5 years. This account is one I have had since I was a teenager, and going all the way back to 2012 you will not find one single post of me cursing let alone any sort of personal attack against anyone’s looks, family, or identity. I believe in the democratic right of freedom of expression and the principle of open and respectful dialogue across ideological divides. At this point, this is a principle that Irish society cannot claim it holds. I have an open offer to write for the Sunday Independent and do not feel safe doing so for fear of intense backlash. Our media establishment has propagated a wholly one-sided, morally narcissistic view of Israel/Palestine for so long that any slight deviation from that narrative is treated as suspect at best and traitorous at worst. The Irish Left specifically, who hold complete institutional and cultural power, cannot tolerate any difference of opinion and resorts to harassment and intimidation of anyone who puts a toe out of line. I will continue to politely express my views on this platform, as I am entitled to do. I should be able to do so without fear of endless abuse or threats of violence. Instead of posturing on international matters, Irish society should take a moment to look inward and reflect on why such behaviour is now normalised in this country against anyone who doesn’t abide by the groupthink on a range of issues.

@TheMuSinger Do post the outcome 😂

I bought two bottles of dishwashing liquid on special at the supermarket. I've managed to convince my folks we can use that in the car instead of fuel.🤭🤫😘

@TheMuSinger Dis is impossible 😂

@PGSound_Tim Yads'lloof is on the verge of tears now. He is a sensitive gentleman.

I'm getting married today! 1 April 2026 His name is Yads'lloof Lirpa Strange name yes, but he's kind. 🤵‍♂️👰

@TheMuSinger I see an element of doubt with that question mark 😉

@PGSound_Tim Whaddayamean, it's true though? Yads'lloof is deeply offended.🤥

“Black Lives Matter!” cries the Left. Except when Islamists massacre black Christians. “Genocide!” cries the Left. Except when Islamists commit genocide against Christians in Nigeria. “Reparations!” cries the Left. Except when Islamists sell black Christian slaves in Libya.

@PontistGirl The suspension takes it's toll.

Our local bridge was closed today. I still can't get over it.

@RachelMoiselle The atmosphere certainly seems even worse over in Ireland compared to the UK. Prayers for your safety 🙏

Hello, everyone. I’m directing this post to Irish Twitter. I have purposefully never interacted with or commented on this Hamas-affiliated Palestinian journalist based in Dublin, as it is quite clear he is dangerous. I have now been subjected to a very explicit post by him inciting violence against me. It is very strange that I have received this due to a post I made unequivocally condemning Israel’s death penalty bill. Naturally I will be going to the Gardaí, but I am calling on Irish people to understand how toxic and dangerous the anti-Israel climate has become in this country. Regardless of differences in political opinions - and in fact I clearly align with the majority of Irish people on the issue of the death penalty - this intimidation of dissenting voices is unacceptable in any democracy. This is why I don’t feel safe here and this is why I am moving by the end of the year. Irish society will protect Palestinians like Abubaker, who has met the president, and will viciously hound a born and raised Irish woman for speaking her mind in a collected, reasoned manner. Ireland 2026.

For many people, those tiny Bible verses on In-N-Out cups and wrappers might seem like a small detail—but behind them is a story of faith, legacy, and quiet witness. Lynsi Snyder doesn’t see those verses as branding at all. To her, they are a continuation of something deeply personal. The tradition began with her uncle, who chose to place Scripture on the packaging as an expression of his faith. What started as something small has now lasted for decades, quietly reaching millions of people in the most ordinary moments—while eating a burger or holding a drink. And maybe that’s the beauty of it. The verses aren’t loud. Many people don’t even notice them. But for those who do, it can be a gentle reminder—like seeing John 3:16 or Proverbs 3:5 in an unexpected place. Of course, not everyone understands it that way. There has been criticism, even pressure to remove the verses. But Lynsi has chosen to stand firm.

@TheMuSinger Wow. The Lord does work in mysterious ways indeed!

Did you know that years ago I experienced an Easter miracle? A small but significant sign of God's Providence during a challenging time of my life. Read all about it in my blog article below. True story! musings.music.blog/2022/04/14/an-…

@Trish_NornIron Some of the replies were Gold 😉

@PGSound_Tim Embarrassed for him tbh

ITV News levels of hidden replies lol

@realninawysocka I'm not convinced there's any magic number. We can choose to make it better and even in the midst of difficulty it's about our response to it.

Does life start getting better at 30?

@realninawysocka Self employed so am my own boss. Doesn't come without its challenges though.

Having a job is cool but everyday?

@elliehodges62 Surprise surprise, it's being held in rainbow land.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 I’ve got my hands on the 2026 conference agenda for the National Education Union the UK’s largest teaching union. It states: “Reaffirm the union’s opposition to all forms of racism, fascism and far-right extremism, including the divisive politics promoted by Reform UK.” And then: “The trade union movement must throw its full weight behind stopping a Reform UK government.” This isn’t neutral. It’s the UK’s largest teaching union taking a clear position against a political party while Zack Polanski has been invited to speak at conference. And these are the people shaping what’s happening in our classrooms. Have a look at this material yourself⬇️

@elliehodges62 So basically an extension of the far left fascist blob. NEU were also one of the worst in agitating for going harder on covid measures. Many of us haven't forgotten.

@Free_ByTheSea How many are gender-confused too?

Feeling underdressed among the catwalk of teachers at the NEU conference.

@samikshassotd True although that doesn't necessarily make it correct or balanced.

Why do the left AND right both hate the BBC? 🤣
