finch is deadlocking in

At least under the US Constitution, widespread age verification at the OS level is highly likely to be unconstitutional. There's still time before California's law goes into effect! Let's strongly point out that such legislation is unconstitutional and work to ensure that organizations like NetCoice are favorable in any way possible!

BREAKING: New "highly mutated" COVID-19 variant, Cicada, is spreading across 25+ states & 23 countries.

Look this is cheesy but the NASA livestream comments are overflowing with "Godspeed from ______" comments and it warms the heart. We do nationalize space travel a lot, soft power etc., but on the long horizon this is a human adventure and that's what will be remembered.

something scary has been happening for like 20 minutes in votv but im too busy cleaning to gaf

🚨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?

More than 400 hospitals across the U.S. are at high risk of closing or cutting services because of the Medicaid cuts in President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” according to an analysis from the progressive watchdog group Public Citizen.

In all seriousness this may have been my favorite shot from Artemis II so far

Ben Gvir is posting videos showing off the execution chamber where he will exterminate thousands of Palestinian hostages. Imagine if Hitler broadcast videos of his gas chambers to gloat like this.

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

what do these colors remind you of?

This clip shows the "lightest" form of torture in Israeli detention involving heat exposure followed by forced cold air, causing uncontrollable shaking. Beyond that, Palestinian detainees endure sleep deprivation, stress positions, beatings, and humiliation.

The CDC has paused testing for rabies, smallpox, and mpox. This comes after widespread layoffs and resignations have significantly shrunk the CDC's virus teams.
