I woke up at 6 a.m. on 24 February 2022 to my mom’s call: “We are being bombed.” I stepped outside. The lake in Geneva was perfectly calm. It felt impossible that both realities existed at the same time. Four years later, I still carry that morning with me. 🇺🇦

We should all be worried.

🚨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?

Conditions in South Sudan's Upper Nile State are worsening. People are fleeing across the border into #Sudan - a country already overwhelmed. This year, 3,300+ South Sudanese sought refuge in White Nile State 🇸🇩. Needs are outpacing resources. Funding is urgently needed.

This is an illegal, unprovoked and brutal attack that shows once again that the USA and Israel are rogue states. The UK must end our cosy relationship with the USA and our ongoing support for Israel.

👥 ~289,000 people have arrived from South Sudan since April 2025, including South Sudanese refugees and Sudanese returnees. ⚠️ The deteriorating security situation in South Sudan raises concerns over a potential rapid increase in cross-border movements. 🤝 12 partners are responding across protection, health, food security, WASH, shelter/NFI, education and livelihoods. 🚨 Critical gaps persist, particularly in: 🌙 After-hours health services 🍚 Food assistance 🧺 NFIs 📍 Underserved settlements 🛠️ Preparedness and sustained partner support remain essential. data.unhcr.org/en/documents/d…

📍 South Sudan Displacement Update ⚠️Since Dec 2025, ~280,000 people have been newly internally displaced due to escalating conflict in South Sudan 🇸🇸. 🗺️Jonglei, Upper Nile and Unity States are the most affected. 🔴As internal displacement continues amid insecurity and access constraints, the risk of further cross-border movements into neighbouring countries remains high. 🔗 Latest update below reliefweb.int/report/south-s…

We had to disguise our boys as girls so the militia would not kill them, mothers who fled #elfasher told @refugee chief in Al Dabbah today They say boys as young as ten are captured, detained and killed by militia in #Darfur Thank you @FilippoGrandi for helping us bring attention to this awful conflict on your last field mission
