37 years ago tonight, April 1, 1989, Corey Glover and Living Colour performed “Cult of Personality”(1988) on NBC’s Saturday Night Live. The song peaked at #13 on Billboard’s Hot 💯.

A federal judge just ruled that videos of DOGE staffers must stay up — and they are devastating. Under oath, they couldn't define DEI. They admitted they never reduced the deficit. And they wiped out $100 million in humanities grants — including a Holocaust documentary — using ChatGPT. The regime tried to bury this. It didn't work. dworkinsubstack.com/p/shut-it-down…

@selfstyledsiren Amen.

"If you are a professional writer, I want you to use AI. Because this industry is competitive. I’ll take any advantage I can get. And if you want to make your writing suck, that’s all the better for me."

By all means-- continue. hamiltonnolan.com/p/go-ahead-and…

🚨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?

My son on why Caleb is his best friend at kindergarten: "He doesn't really speak English, so we can skip all the talking and just get right to the karate."

There will always be a space for writing no matter many different ways people try to kill it off.

The Pitt is filmed in Los Angeles, and has supported countless jobs and economic activity in our community. Noah Wyle testified about how it is still possible to film a hit show in LA, and what is necessary to keep production here at home.

@SheaSerrano Let's gooooooo!

this new thing is unlike anything i’ve ever written which is why i’m not giving anyone any details about it you gotta buy it completely blind lol

My new novel “Gary’s New Novel Was This Result Helpful to You?” is in big trouble.

Agreed. But please check out my (human-generated) book about a near-future AI company: amazon.com/Your-Behavior-…

How, after all these years and all this data, is @LinkedIn still dumb enough to try to sell me on applying to creative director roles at Amazon, where I currently work as a creative director?
