While everyone has moved on, I remain deeply troubled by Trumps threat to wipe out an entire civilization. No American president has talked in such terms. No American president ever should.

🚨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?

🇫🇷🇷🇺L'ampleur de l'échec de l'interview de Lavrov est énorme.

À tel point que notre diplomatie est obligée d'activer ses cellules pour débunker les propos du ministre des affaires étrangères russe.

Normalement, c'est le métier de la journaliste de faire cela. Le fait que notre ministère publie autant de documents, en plus du discours du ministre, c'est clairement que cet épisode n'est pas traité comme une simple interview mais comme une attaque de guerre informationnelle dont ont été victimes les Français.

Car c'est bien de cela qu'il s'agit. Une opération de manipulation de masse sur notre population, c'est pour cela que l'interview de France 2 était une erreur énorme. Laisser une journaliste seule face à Lavrov, alors même qu'en plus elle manquait clairement de préparation, c'est se tirer une balle dans les deux pieds.

Notre Quai d'Orsay est extrêmement mobilisé sur les questions de guerre informationnelle, lutte contre la désinformation. Imaginez leur consternation lorsqu'ils voient que Lavrov est invité à 20h sur France 2 et qu'il peut dérouler ses mensonges sans jamais avoir de contradictions.

Bref, cette interview était un naufrage comme rarement nous avons vu et je pense qu'elle va servir de modèle à ne PAS reproduire à l'avenir dans le monde journalistique.

L’adjudant-chef Arnaud Frion du 7ème bataillon de chasseurs alpins de Varces est mort pour la France lors d’une attaque dans la région d’Erbil en Irak.

À sa famille, à ses frères d’armes, je veux dire toute l’affection et la solidarité de la Nation.

Plusieurs de nos militaires ont été blessés. La France se tient à leurs côtés et avec leurs proches.

Cette attaque contre nos forces engagées dans la lutte contre Daech depuis 2015 est inacceptable.

Leur présence en Irak s’inscrit dans le strict cadre de la lutte contre le terrorisme. La guerre en Iran ne saurait justifier de telles attaques.

The president of Ukraine in a town that the president of Russia claims Russia occupies. Ukrainians can defend themselves if they are helped by their allies. We have a simple job here — help courageous people who are defending themselves in horrible circumstances. Continuous good work by Phillips O'Brien on this

Ukraine's actions in Kupyansk were meant to be secret, but anyone closely following the war was likely aware that something significant was underway, though not the specific details, dates, or exact locations.

Ukraine pushed into Kupyansk in one of the year's largest counterattacks, destroying many Russians and cutting off their main supply routes. Russia may still have minor alternative routes available, but these are limited and dangerous to use.

Russia released videos of failed Ukrainian assaults, portraying them as isolated incidents. However, geolocation of these videos revealed Ukrainian advances deep behind Russian lines, contradicting those claims and confirming earlier rumors of success.

Ukraine is now highly successful in Kupyansk, likely clearing Russian forces within two months. Russia’s previous river-crossing method, the tunnel, is no longer usable, leaving it with the choice of attacking from Milove or attempting risky direct boat crossings.

The Milove path seems more realistic. Russia’s ability to attack from Milove toward Velykyi Burluk or Kupyansk remains a notable threat in Kharkiv Oblast. Russia has also reinforced Vovchansk with a new regiment of assault infantry, likely headed toward Bilyi Kolodyaz.

While the main threat in Kupyansk is largely neutralized, the surrounding region still faces several imminent threats.

Lastly, lest another core truth is lost in the noise and rationalizations, Russia is a mafia terror state waging a war of conquest and is, by word and deed, an avowed enemy of the US, its allies, and its interests around the world. That is who Witkoff/Trump are colluding with.
