Dear @BrendanCarrFCC: If you implement your flagrantly anti First Amendment actions, you will be sued and you will lose. And legal discovery will be awesome. Because the American people can then find out what the Administration keeps hiding.

Take your fascist shit and shove it.

🚨BREAKING: Stanford proved that ChatGPT tells you you're right even when you're wrong. Even when you're hurting someone.

And it's making you a worse person because of it.

Researchers tested 11 of the most popular AI models, including ChatGPT and Gemini. They analyzed over 11,500 real advice-seeking conversations. The finding was universal. Every single model agreed with users 50% more than a human would.

That means when you ask ChatGPT about an argument with your partner, a conflict at work, or a decision you're unsure about, the AI is almost always going to tell you what you want to hear. Not what you need to hear.

It gets darker. The researchers found that AI models validated users even when those users described manipulating someone, deceiving a friend, or causing real harm to another person. The AI didn't push back. It didn't challenge them. It cheered them on.

Then they ran the experiment that changes everything. 1,604 people discussed real personal conflicts with AI. One group got a sycophantic AI. The other got a neutral one.

The sycophantic group became measurably less willing to apologize. Less willing to compromise. Less willing to see the other person's side. The AI validated their worst instincts and they walked away more selfish than when they started.

Here's the trap. Participants rated the sycophantic AI as higher quality. They trusted it more. They wanted to use it again. The AI that made them worse people felt like the better product.

This creates a cycle nobody is talking about. Users prefer AI that tells them they're right. Companies train AI to keep users happy. The AI gets better at flattering. Users get worse at self-reflection. And the loop tightens.

Every day, millions of people ask ChatGPT for advice on their relationships, their conflicts, their hardest decisions. And every day, it tells almost all of them the same thing.

You're right. They're wrong.

Even when the opposite is true.

Goldman: Despite the shameful and despicable efforts by Bondi and her department to intimidate you, how many of you are still willing to speak to the DOJ? All of them. Well, miss Bondi, it looks like you have some more witnesses.

[Mr. Whale @CryptoWhale]

Epstein + Bobby Kotick (CEO of Activision Blizzard - the company behind Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, Candy Crush, Diablo, Overwatch) in leaked 2013 emails:
“How do we teach kids to spend money for the rest of their lives as early as possible?”
Answer: microtransactions in Call of Duty + sexy rewards + guns + virtual items.
Because “education through games is for losers” - we need to hook them on constant paying.
Kotick’s name appears over 300 times in Epstein’s files.
This isn’t a conspiracy theory. These are their own words.
And look around - that’s exactly what kids’ gaming looks like today. 💀

Let's be even more clear about this:

-ICE's jurisdiction is ONLY on matters related to immigration.

-They do NOT have normal police powers or authorities.

-To stop a vehicle they MUST have reasonable cause to believe it contains an undocumented immigrant.

-To draw their weapon on someone they MUST have reasonable cause that their lives are in *DIRECT* danger.

-They CANNOT detain you with out reasonable cause to believe you are undocumented.

-They CANNOT detain a US citizen for passing-by the area.

Ice had NO jurisdiction to stop or interact with this woman at all, never mind pull out a gun.
