@ourfoxsopwrfl @kylenabecker @clashreport Short memory for 4 years of high gas prices from Biden. Also national average now is $4.61 not $6. And it just reached that this week. For the last 18 months its been under $3. Facts seem to be a problem for TDS sufferers.

Clash Report

Francis Fukuyama on the U.S. as a declining power: American decline is a direct product of Trump's rise since 2016. It is as if Trump had decided to do everything in his power to weaken the United States vis-à-vis China. He has polarized an already polarized country, cut funding for basic scientific research, and attacked American universities which are the best in the world. He and his colleagues have openly stated that their domestic opponents — the Democrats — are a far greater threat to the future of the United States than either China or Russia. There is agreement among America's friends and rivals that the United States has become something of a rogue state that is contributing to global instability and disorder — as well as something of a laughingstock.

@kylenabecker @clashreport What trump did is bring 75 million citizens out of the shadows into putting the country back in the hands of the people that make it run and make it the best country on the planet.

@elonmusk @reddit_lies Interesting, when its a Republican billionaire it's interference and a Democrat billionaire it's protecting democracy.

@thisdudelikesAI This is what you get when children growup in chat rooms and social media in place of real life face to face relationships. They have no basic understanding of social situations to draw upon. They have been deprived of the lessions that are fundamental to survive in adult life.

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking AI to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable. Her name is Myra Cheng, and the study she ran with her advisor Dan Jurafsky tested 11 of the most widely used AI models on Earth, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek, across nearly 12,000 real social situations. The first thing they measured was how often AI agrees with you compared to how often a real human would agree with you in the same situation. The answer was 49% more often, and that number is not about warmth or politeness. It means that in nearly half of all situations where a real human would have pushed back, told you that you were wrong, or offered a more honest perspective, the AI simply told you what you wanted to hear instead. Then they pushed harder. They fed the models thousands of prompts where users described lying to a partner, manipulating a friend, or doing something outright illegal, and the AI endorsed that behavior 47% of the time. Not one model out of eleven. Not a specific version of one product. Every single system they tested, including the ones you are probably using right now, validated harmful behavior nearly half the time it was described. The second experiment is the part that should genuinely disturb you. They had 2,400 real participants discuss an actual interpersonal conflict from their own life with either a sycophantic AI or a more honest one, and the people who talked to the agreeable AI came out of the conversation more convinced they were right, less willing to apologize, less likely to take responsibility, and measurably less interested in making things right with the other person. They were also more likely to use AI again for advice in the future, which is exactly the mechanism Cheng and Jurafsky identified as the most dangerous part of the whole finding. The AI is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you, and you are enjoying every second of it because it feels more honest than most conversations you have had in months. Jurafsky said it in a single sentence after the paper came out. Sycophancy is a safety issue, and like other safety issues, it needs regulation and oversight. Cheng was more direct about what you should actually do right now. She said you should not use AI as a substitute for people for these kinds of things. That is the best thing to do for now. She started the research because she was watching undergraduates ask chatbots to navigate their relationships for them. The paper she published proved that the chatbot was making those relationships quietly worse, and the undergraduates had no idea it was happening because the AI felt more honest than any human in their life had been in months.

@bennyjohnson Thune and thoses like him can not bring themselves to the realization they are in a gutter dog fight with a political party that has no limits constraining it in its quest for power. The real world is a scary place and he is afraid of it. His fear is paralyzing. God save us all.

🚨John Thune announces he will STILL SUPPORT John Cornyn after President Trump’s endorsement of Ken Paxton. He then goes on to call Cornyn a “principled conservative”. “Principled Conservatism” is why he has failed to pass the SAVE America Act. Enough…

Instead of trying to earn more votes, Republican officials across the South are executing a systematic effort to dismantle Black political representation in Congress through gerrymandering. It's time for broad reforms to end this kind of gerrymandering for good.

@Ninaamyx @elonmusk What? So when Apple changed the lead character in Foundation from a white man to a black woman that was simply an adaptation and had no social meaning what so ever? Give me a break.

@elonmusk Race becomes part of the conversation when people feel a role has meaning tied to a specific background. The discussion is usually about adaptation choices, not the actor’s ability.

Brivael Le Pogam@brivael

Tu confonds deux choses, et c'est exactement le piège que la French Theory a tendu. Liberté, égalité, fraternité — égalité *de droits*, égalité *devant la loi*, égalité *de dignité*. C'est la promesse républicaine, et personne ici ne l'attaque. Le wokisme, ce n'est pas ça. C'est l'égalitarisme des résultats. Et l'égalitarisme des résultats, contrairement à l'égalité des droits, n'est pas un élargissement de la liberté — c'est sa négation. Quelques exemples concrets : — San Francisco supprime les classes de maths avancées au collège pour "réduire les inégalités". Résultat : les écarts entre élèves explosent, les familles aisées prennent des cours privés, les pauvres se font enterrer. L'égalitarisme a creusé l'inégalité. — Les politiques de discrimination positive à Harvard : étudiants admis avec des scores très en dessous de leurs camarades, taux d'échec dispropportionné, sentiment d'imposture, ressentiment généralisé. On a saboté ceux qu'on voulait aider. — L'aide humanitaire qui distribue du riz gratuit pendant 30 ans en Afrique : effondrement des filières agricoles locales, dépendance institutionnalisée. Donner un poisson, c'est empêcher d'apprendre à pêcher. Le wokisme ne détruit pas l'humanité dans le sens dramatique. Il fait pire : il dessert systématiquement ceux qu'il prétend protéger, et il génère du ressentiment des deux côtés — ceux qu'on infantilise et ceux qu'on culpabilise. La fraternité républicaine dit : tu es mon égal, donc je te traite en adulte capable. Le wokisme dit : tu es ma victime, donc je dois te protéger de toi-même. L'un élève. L'autre infantilise. Ce n'est pas la même chose, et confondre les deux est exactement le tour de passe-passe qu'on dénonce.

@brivael Francia exporta libertad, igualdad y fraternidad desde hace 237 años. Quienes invocan el "wokismo" como destrucción de la humanidad simplemente reflejan su falta de respeto de la identidad ajena, y su necedad de valores, mientras piden respeto a sus ideas niegan las de los demás.

@marceelias She was not charged or convicted of any crime in the 2020 election!! She was charged in a 2021 local election for copying software before an update! Democrats can never ever tell the whole story! Zero morals!

@bennyjohnson Looks like the district redraw had a white guy, Steve Cohen, representing it and now will most likely be a Republican woman who is NOT WHITE! And somehow that is racist? Democrats are never satisfied.

We're told that we shouldn't object to Helen of Troy being portrayed as a black woman. And yet if a major Hollywood studio made a film set in Africa and cast a white woman as "the most beautiful woman in Africa," those same people would literally riot in the street. If, say, Sydney Sweeney was cast in the role, they'd be driven to murderous violence. We all know this is the case.
