When Odysseus and his soldiers left Troy victorious, they wanted nothing more than a speedy journey home to rejoin with their families. Then a storm blew them off path to the island of the Lotus Eaters. The Lotus Eaters tempted them in the most pleasant and compelling ways to stay on their island, forget about their voyage, forget about their families. The soldiers were only able to resume their voyage to reunite with their families by strong exercise of their willpower.
Like Homer's Lotus Eaters, modern corporations are unending in their skill to tempt us away from our own voyages, away from our own property, away from our cultures, away from our communities, away from our families, away, in the case of corporate feminism, from even starting families.
🚨BREAKING: OpenAI published a paper proving that ChatGPT will always make things up.
Not sometimes. Not until the next update. Always. They proved it with math.
Even with perfect training data and unlimited computing power, AI models will still confidently tell you things that are completely false. This isn't a bug they're working on. It's baked into how these systems work at a fundamental level.
And their own numbers are brutal. OpenAI's o1 reasoning model hallucinates 16% of the time. Their newer o3 model? 33%. Their newest o4-mini? 48%. Nearly half of what their most recent model tells you could be fabricated. The "smarter" models are actually getting worse at telling the truth.
Here's why it can't be fixed. Language models work by predicting the next word based on probability. When they hit something uncertain, they don't pause. They don't flag it. They guess. And they guess with complete confidence, because that's exactly what they were trained to do.
The researchers looked at the 10 biggest AI benchmarks used to measure how good these models are. 9 out of 10 give the same score for saying "I don't know" as for giving a completely wrong answer: zero points. The entire testing system literally punishes honesty and rewards guessing.
So the AI learned the optimal strategy: always guess. Never admit uncertainty. Sound confident even when you're making it up.
OpenAI's proposed fix? Have ChatGPT say "I don't know" when it's unsure. Their own math shows this would mean roughly 30% of your questions get no answer. Imagine asking ChatGPT something three times out of ten and getting "I'm not confident enough to respond." Users would leave overnight. So the fix exists, but it would kill the product.
This isn't just OpenAI's problem. DeepMind and Tsinghua University independently reached the same conclusion. Three of the world's top AI labs, working separately, all agree: this is permanent.
Every time ChatGPT gives you an answer, ask yourself: is this real, or is it just a confident guess?

🚨BREAKING: Newly released Jeffrey Epstein emails reveal LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman discussing visits to Epstein's private island, New Mexico ranch, and New York apartment.
"Reid will spend the night at 71st"
"Reid Hoffman will go to the ranch for the weekend"
"Jeffrey will fly all to St. Thomas... from St. Thomas they hop on his heli and fly to his island"
Hoffman’s name appears more than 2,600 times in DOJ Epstein files, revealing hundreds of emails, Zoom calls, dinners, and meetings between Epstein and Hoffman from 2013–2018.
Epstein described Hoffman as a “very close friend,” advised him on tax strategies, and even helped him shop for a private jet.
The two repeatedly wrote about how much they missed each other and couldn’t wait to meet again.
The files also show Hoffman introduced Epstein to Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel, and Elon Musk.
Furthermore, Epstein may have introduced Hoffman to the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.
Emails and documents in the thread below.

Assassination culture is spreading on the left. Forty-eight percent of liberals say it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk. Fifty-five percent said the same about Donald Trump.
In California, activists are naming ballot measures after Luigi Mangione.
The left is being whipped into a violent frenzy. Any setback, whether losing an election or losing a court case, justifies a maximally violent response.
This is the natural outgrowth of left-wing protest culture tolerating violence and mayhem for years on end. The cowardice of local prosecutors and school officials have turned the left into a ticking time bomb.
