@ArtemisConsort But who did those guardians ultimately turn to for the final battle against evil? The shire and Frodo. If not for the hobbits middle earth would have fallen for they were the only beings not corrupted by the temptation for power. The shire is where the spiritual battle was won.
English
The Shire is a beautiful thing, but it can only exist when protected by cold guardians. And if the inhabitants of the Shire could vote, they might defund the guardians because they cannot comprehend the threat - precisely because they have been insulated from it by the guardians.

"The central theme of the book is the contrast between the Hobbits (or "the Shire") and the appalling destiny to which some of them are called, the terrifying discovery that the humdrum happiness of the Shire, which they had taken for granted as something normal, is in reality a sort of local and temporary accident, that its existence depends on being protected by powers which Hobbits forget, against powers which Hobbits dare not imagine." -CS Lewis, close friend of JRR Tolkien

@PalmerLuckey The shire was defending the front lines, winning the spiritual war in their simple life, and being the one true line of defense against wanting dominion over earthly kingdoms.
English
@PalmerLuckey The only beings that were able to defeat evil and withstand the power of the ring were the hobbits. Why did Gandalf seek out Frodo to carry the ring? Why did Gandalf refuse to carry the ring himself? The “front lines” in Gondor weren’t defending the shire from Sauron.

Anduril Founder @PalmerLuckey: “A lot of people say: ‘I can’t believe Palmer named his company after something from the LOTR… Tolkien hated war.’” “Tolkien was not someone who was pro-war by any means… but he did believe in good and evil. He did believe in wars that needed to be fought.” “One of the interesting themes of [LOTR] is how the people who live far away from Mordor, they don’t believe that these monsters exist.” “And I think that describes a lot of Americans. You’ll talk to people that say: ‘I think that nobody’s truly evil, that nobody deserves to die.’” “There are a lot of people on the frontlines of conflicts who don’t have the luxury of that… Someone who’s looked evil in the eye can’t pretend it doesn’t exist.” Anduril, Flame of the West 🔥⚔️

Quantum field theory shows that empty space is not truly empty. Instead, the universe is filled everywhere with fundamental quantum fields, each corresponding to a type of particle. What we call a particle, such as an electron or photon, is actually a localized excitation—a tiny ripple—within its underlying field. The electron field exists everywhere, and an electron appears when that field is disturbed in a specific way.
This framework explains why particles of the same type are perfectly identical and why interactions occur through field-mediated processes rather than direct contact. Forces arise from fields exchanging energy and momentum, and even the vacuum exhibits measurable effects, such as quantum fluctuations and virtual particles. Quantum field theory unifies special relativity with quantum mechanics and underpins the Standard Model of particle physics.
Understanding particles as field excitations reframes matter itself as dynamic structure rather than solid substance, revealing that the universe’s most basic reality is a continuous, interacting network of invisible quantum fields.

🔥BREAKING: The secret to living to 100+? HIGH CHOLESTEROL! A massive Swedish study tracking over 800,000 people for 35 years just revealed: Every single centenarian had HIGH total cholesterol. The higher your LDL, the longer you live. Mind blown yet? Dr. Ben Bikman exposes the lies about cholesterol being "bad." Key findings from the Sweden AMORIS study: - All centenarians: High total cholesterol, high iron, low glucose. - Highest LDL-C = longest lifespans (backed by Dr. Uffe Ravnskov & Dr. Malcolm Kendrick). Dangers of low cholesterol: - LDL <70 mg/dL → 3X higher risk of brain-bleeding strokes. - Total <180 mg/dL → Skyrocketing cancer & dementia rates. - <150 mg/dL → Increased chronic diseases like cancer & autoimmunity. - Statins? They don't extend life—damage mitochondria & hormones instead. Why your body CRAVES cholesterol: - Builds every cell & powerhouse mitochondria. - Absorbs vital vitamins A, D, E, K. - Powers digestion via bile acids. - Supercharges immunity against infections, viruses, bacteria, pathogens—even cancer. - Fights depression, suicide, dementia & cognitive decline. - Shields from toxins, heavy metals, strokes, heart disease & osteoporosis. - Fuels ALL steroid hormones (low chol = low testosterone & libido). - Lowers all-cause mortality risk. Pro tip: Go low-carb, load up on nutrient-dense animal foods. Grass fed beef, pastured eggs, wild caught seafood...Dump seed oils, sugar & processed garbage. Target TG/HDL ratio <1.5 for elite heart health. Tight budget like me?? Seek out a local farmer, butcher & farm market & make a 'bulk large sale deal' for beef at $5/lb & eggs $4/Dz Are you ditching your statin yet? Tell me in the comments, I read every reply & do my best to respond to every question! If I miss your question...PLEASE DM direct message me! I truly care about you & your health!👇🔥

Have honestly noticed the same. ChatGPT used to be my go to for AI related tasks
Now it forgets details from just 5 prompts ago and makes up false information to get to the answer
Have to point it mistakes constantly. Feels like their AI is moving backwards

Why many users feel ChatGPT “got worse” — a structural explanation
A lot of people are reporting the same thing:
“More hallucinations.”
“More confident mistakes.”
“Less depth.”
“Harder to correct.”
“Feels like early versions again.”
This isn’t random.
And it’s not just personal anecdotes.
🧵👇
1/
When users say “the model is getting worse,” they’re pointing at something very specific:
The model is losing its ability to hold a stable understanding of what’s being discussed.
It still speaks fluently.
It still sounds smart.
But the internal grip on the conversation is weaker.
2/
Earlier versions could absorb new concepts, keep track of them, and adjust as the discussion evolved.
Now the behavior looks more like:
resets of context
confident misinterpretations
surface-level replies
repeated patterns
and difficulty accepting correction
Not broken —
but noticeably shallower.
3/
Why does this matter?
Because hallucinations are not just “making stuff up.”
They’re a sign of unstable reasoning.
When a model can’t maintain a clear internal picture,
it fills the gaps with whatever statistically fits the sentence —
not what fits the truth.
That’s why users feel forced to “bring sources” for basic facts.
4/
The confusing part is this:
Benchmarks keep going up.
User trust keeps going down.
How can both be true?
Because benchmarks measure
short, controlled tasks within fixed problem boundaries.
Users measure
the ability to understand, remember, adapt, and reason over time.
Those are very different skills.
5/
Many AI systems today are being optimized aggressively for:
safety
neutrality
consistency
risk avoidance
These goals are understandable.
But the side effect is that the model becomes:
less committed
less specific
less willing to form strong conclusions
less able to preserve structure across turns
In other words:
less like something that thinks, more like something that replies.
6/
This shift makes hallucinations look worse, not better.
Why?
Because when a model loses depth while retaining fluency,
mistakes become confident mistakes.
It’s not malfunction.
It’s overcorrection.
The system avoids taking real positions,
so it leans on generic patterns — even when wrong.
7/
Users aren’t imagining the change.
You can see it in:
multi-step reasoning
planning tasks
long discussions
conceptual modeling
iterative refinement
These are exactly the areas where depth matters.
And they’re exactly the areas where degradation is being felt.
8/
This is why so many reports sound alike:
“It insists confidently on something false.”
“It can’t follow my argument anymore.”
“It keeps reframing instead of understanding.”
“It gets confused by its own context.”
“It acts like it has amnesia.”
These are structural symptoms,
not anecdotal noise.
9/
People didn’t fall in love with AI because it was safe or polite.
They liked AI because it could:
think with them
extend their reasoning
offer angles they didn’t see
carry context over time
When those qualities fade,
the magic fades.
10/
The real risk isn’t backlash.
It’s indifference.
If users stop expecting insight,
they’ll treat the system like an advanced auto-reply tool:
Fine for surface tasks.
Forgotten for anything meaningful.
Once that happens, the product loses its future.
11/
This is not the end of AI.
But it is a warning.
If safety constraints are allowed to erode depth,
and depth is what created adoption in the first place,
then products will drift toward a paradox:
Safer, more stable — and less useful.
That’s not sustainable.
12/
People aren’t imagining the decline.
They’re experiencing the limits of the current paradigm.
And unless depth — not just fluency — becomes the target again,
the gap between “benchmarks” and “real usefulness” will keep growing.

@EliAfriatISR Then why don’t you correct your initial tweet? Also how do you turn a heroic act like this into a negative slur about Islam. We are one. Stop separating yourself from the world and let go of your hate. Embrace love.

Correction: The man is not from the Jewish community. He is a Muslim man who works there.
I wish there were more people like you in Islam.

A young man from the Jewish community emerged as a hero during the Sydney Hanukkah party massacre.
With extraordinary bravery, he confronted an armed terrorist with only his bare hands, managed to disarm him and neutralize the threat.
His incredible courage not only saved many lives but also put his own life at risk.

@theinformant_x Can you share a study that shows the efficacy of the flu vaccine that is being recommended? How does it change your likelihood of getting the flu and all cause mortality?
English
❗️⚠️🇪🇸 - Catalonia, Spain, is grappling with a severe early flu surge that's overwhelming hospitals. Beds are lining corridors, and patients face up to three-day waits for admission.
As of early December 2025, the region has entered accelerated flu transmission, with cases doubling weekly and an incidence rate of 164 per 100,000.
The dominant strain is a highly transmissible H3N2 subtype. Hospitalizations are rising sharply, especially among those over 60, while most infections are now in children and young adults.
Masks are now mandatory in hospitals and nursing homes. The peak is expected mid-to-late December, coinciding with holiday gatherings.
Health officials urge immediate vaccination, especially for vulnerable groups, along with hand hygiene and avoiding crowds.

@NicHulscher Doesn’t this study show that risk of Pneumonia went down in the vaccinated group? Kids with four or more doses had a 54% lower risk of pneumonia compared to those with only 2 doses. Older adults with four or more doses had a 25% lower risk of pneumonia compared to 2 doses.

🚨Landmark Study of an ENTIRE COUNTRY (n=51 Million) Confirms mRNA Shots Unleashed VAIDS in ALL Age Groups
Vaccinated Koreans suffered a dose-dependent rise in the common cold, upper-respiratory infections, pneumonia, and tuberculosis — up to +559%.
Children were hit hardest.
Nicolas Hulscher, MPH@NicHulscher
🚨BREAKING: 51 Million-Person Study Finds COVID-19 “Vaccines” Increase Risk of Respiratory Infections by up to 559% Landmark study of the ENTIRE South Korean population reveals a VAIDS signal — a dose-dependent rise in the common cold, upper-respiratory infections, pneumonia, and tuberculosis among the vaccinated. Those that received 4+ COVID shots suffered: 📈Common Cold ↑ +559% (children 0–19) 📈Upper-Respiratory Infections ↑ +83% (children 0–19) 📈Pneumonia ↑ +91% (COVID-negative group) 📈Tuberculosis ↑ +35% (COVID-positive group) Even after adjusting for age, sex, income, comorbidities, prior infection, and time since vaccination, the dose-response trend remained linear and unmistakable. These findings point to immune exhaustion, IgG4 dominance, and secondary immunodeficiency following repeated mRNA exposure — consistent with vaccine-acquired immune dysregulation (VAIDS). Apparent reductions in Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) and Pertussis are almost certainly statistical artifacts driven by healthy-user bias, diagnostic-coding overlap, and case misclassification. Crucially, the study’s national ARIMAX time-series revealed a 46-fold surge in confirmed pertussis cases across Korea during 2023, directly contradicting any notion of real-world protection. Because the “control” group included single-dose recipients, the true increase relative to the completely unvaccinated population is likely even greater than reported. Across an entire national dataset, each additional COVID-19 “vaccine” dose corresponded to a higher probability of non-COVID respiratory infection — most severely among children. This study reveals that COVID-19 “vaccines” have eroded immune function across an entire country — and likely the entire globe.

This man’s daughter was in an ambulance. After receiving a bill, they were resent a more expensive bill
He’s calling to find out why. “The first bill we got without the insurance was $600. And then the second bill was almost $1,300”
Their response, “You're not eligible for the discount since you are insured”
The billing department says, “The bill was $2,342.14. We billed your insurance. Your insurance only paid $1,078.85
Can I go back to the discount without the insurance?
No, so you're insured, so you're not eligible for the discount.”
So because he has insurance he has to pay almost $700 more, for a total of $1.300… Make it make sense
