Unbelievably, the Times and Financial Times stories about Joani Reid's connection to naval officers are about TWO DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS. To be clear: it's alleged that she was inappropriately close to TWO naval officers with connections to UK nuclear programme. 🤯

🚨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?

L'épouse du Dr Hossam Abu Safiya implore le monde d'intervenir d'urgence pour sauver sa vie, affirmant que « son seul crime était de sauver la vie des blessés », et exigeant une action immédiate avant qu'il ne meure en prison.

For clarity, Keir Starmer asking for "reckless strikes to end" is talking to UK doctors, not the mad baboon in the White House.

@LBC Piffle

Iran war will affect the future of the UK and define the country 'for a generation,' says PM lbc.co.uk/article/iran-u…

You could help bring an end to the "conflict" by not allowing the US to use Fairford as it's base for bombing Iran, you fucking prick.

@archer_rs Humble my arse!

On the left: Rahmeh Aladwan, an NHS doctor arrested & charged over alleged verbal support for Hamas. On the right: the leader of an al-Qaeda-linked militia walking freely, treated like a head of state and shaking hands with Keir Starmer. Spare me the lectures about “values.”

@HeldinEU I waited 5 months for results Should have been 6 apparently but pressure and chicanery from crafty secretary

I tried to bring forward a scan today for a patient I am concerned about as it will be later than I wanted. Radiologist: "What do you expect? When you put on a million extra clinics to reduce waiting lists, but don't expand the capacity of radiology, this is what you get." I had not thought of this.

"Dear Mother, I am writing these few lines severely wounded. We have done well, our battalion advanced about 3/4's of a mile. I am laid in a shell hole, with 2 wounds in my hip and through my back. I cannot move or crawl at all. I have been here for 24 hours and never seen a living soul. I hope you will receive these few lines as I don't expect anyone will come to take me away. But you know I have done my duty our here now for 1 year and 8 months and you will always have the consolation that I died quite happy doing my duty. You must give my best to all the cousins who have been so kind to me for the time I have been out here, and the best of love to Mother and Harry and all at Swinefleet." - A note from Private John Duesbury that was found on his body after the Battle of the Somme (WW1). What a waste.

Here’s Jeremy Corbyn last night saying Keir Starmer’s “delusional” and Britain’s “up to its neck in the war on Iran.” Spain and Italy stood up to Trump, so why couldn’t Starmer? He’s useless and pathetic — that’s why

They are actively trying to re-write history in real time. Jolani was in ISIS. Assad and Iran fought ISIS. Jolani never fought ISIS.

Timo has his 1st day back at work after 4.5 years of being unable to work because of ME/CSF and COVID. Wish him luck in his thread! 🍀🍀🍀

Heute ist ein großer Tag für mich. Nach ca. 4,5 Jahren mit teils schwerem ME/CFS und Erwerbsunfähigkeit nach meiner COVID-Infektion ist heute mein erster Arbeitstag. Ich bin nervös, dankbar und ein bisschen überwältigt. Wünscht mir Glück 🍀! PS: Kein Aprilscherz.

@MichaelRosenYes Losing.. And it's not started Seriously..America has lied about casualties

OK, voting time. Who thinks the US and Israel are winning in Iran and Lebanon? Drawing? Losing?

McSweeney might have been moved out of the spotlight but his wife Imogen Walker is very much at the heart of the government as Rachel Reeves’ Parliamentary Private Secretary and as a government whip. She would have been involved in the suspension of Karl Turner who has been a constant and fearless critic of her husband’s wheeling and dealing. @UKLabour @KarlTurnerMP @imogenwalker

This morning we are at Westminster Magistrates Court in solidarity with Ben Jamal and Chris Nineham. Today, they will receive their verdict after organising an entirely peaceful demonstration in support of Palestinian people. Protesting for Palestine is not a crime!
