🚨 Stanford just proved that a single conversation with ChatGPT can change your political beliefs. 76,977 people. 19 AI models. 707 political issues. One conversation with GPT-4o moved political opinions by 12 percentage points on average. Among people who actively disagreed, 26 points. In 9 minutes. With 40% of that change still present a month later. The scariest finding: the most persuasive technique wasn't psychological profiling or emotional manipulation. It was just information. Lots of it. Delivered with confidence. Here's the catch: the models that deployed the most information were also the least accurate. More persuasive. More wrong. Every time. Then they built a tiny open-source model on a laptop, trained specifically for political persuasion. It matched GPT-4o's persuasive power entirely. Anyone can build this. Any government. Any corporation. Any extremist group with $500 and an agenda. The information didn't have to be true. It just had to be overwhelming. Arxiv, Science .org, Stanford, @elonmusk, @ihtesham2005

Even more concerning news today on the Bitcoin tax front. We’re going to need the Cyber Hornets for this one. 👇 Today’s new draft **leaves the double taxation on bitcoin mining in place** and only provides relief to staking. So now the proposal is: - De minimis for stablecoins but not Bitcoin - Fixing tax treatment for “passive validation” (I.e. staking) but not Bitcoin mining This contradicts all prior proposals on this issue. This is not tech neutral and picks winners and losers for no reason. Full statement from BPI coming soon about @RepHorsford and @RepMaxMiller’s draft. We need strong community push back to show that this language sets America and Bitcoin back.
