It would be more honoring to the son of man to remove the statues and all others like it, and replace them with one of these verses from New Testament prohibiting idolatry:
Mark 12:28 One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?” 29 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[e] 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ (Quoting Deuteronomy 6)
Acts 15:19 “It is my [James’s] judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. 20 Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood..”
Romans 1:18-25 18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness. 19For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse. 21For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools, 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images of mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. 24Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity for the dishonoring of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is forever worthy of praise!f Amen.
1 Corinthians 5:9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10 not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. 11 But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister[c] but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.
I Corinthians 6:9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men[a] 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were.
1 Corinthians 10:6 Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did. 7 Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.”
Colossians 3:5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.
Ephesians 5:5 - "For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God."
Galatians 5:19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
1 John 5:21 Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.
1 Peter 4:3 For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry. 4 They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you. 5 But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
Revelation 9: 20 The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. 21 Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.
Idolatry denounced in the ORIGINAL Testament:
Exodus 20 You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them..
Psalm 135:15–18 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of human hands. They have mouths, but do not speak; they have eyes, but do not see; they have ears, but do not hear, nor is there any breath in their mouths. Those who make them become like them, so do all who trust in them.
Isaiah 42:17 They are turned back and utterly put to shame, who trust in carved idols, who say to metal images, ‘You are our gods.’

Destroying Iran’s bridges, power plants, and desalination plants, as the @WhiteHouse has threatened, would neither restore control nor improve fortune and subjugate the regime, but instead hand the regime a propaganda victory, turn the Iranian people against America and shore up support for the regime that is oppressing them: war crimes are not good strategy and @PeteHegseth needs to learn this or be replaced - else he will lose the longer #IranWar after it progresses to the guerilla insurgency phase.
But since Trump will have now have to make good on his recent threat to destroy bridges and power plants, lest he appear to be bluffing, he should only bomb those few bridges and power plants that he is willing to rebuild, after he takes Kharg Island and diverts the regime's oil revenue into a reconstruction fund. Can @marcorubio and the other adults make this happen? US marines will not be sitting ducks when the US navy controls and water and the US Air Force controls the skies. Leave the infrastructure alone and #TakeKhargIsland instead and support the #IranRevolution2026
The regime is now under seige, and its island fortresses under blockade. The best weapon America has now is time - and eventually the garrisons will starve, the islands will be taken by @UAE and US and maybe even @NATO Marines, and the regime will collapse.
The world will have to simply endure the cost of the strait's closure until the the European "allies build up some delayed courage" and "go take Hormuz", and @POTUS has rightly demanded. There are policy tools that can fracture the oil market so we'll see oil for $100 in America and $200+ in the UK, etc. Instead of the unnecessary and counterproductive destruction of civilian infrastructure used by our sympathizers within Iran and any future allied regime, the US now has leverage over European and Asian allies that it can apply until they come into compliance with the Trump administrations Iran maritime policy goals.

@RepMikeLawler Good, sanctions enforcement should have happened a long time ago.
Now, @Lebanon must rescind its 1955 Law on the Boycott of Israel, and begin co-operating with the @IDF and the @IsraelMFA to #DisarmHezbollah
#ExigimosTransparenciaRendicionDeCuentasYApplicaccionDeLaLey
Estados Unidos reconoce las elecciones de 2024 y a la presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum como la mandataria legítima, pero ha expresado preocupación significativa por la reforma constitucional mexicana de 2024 que establece la elección popular de jueces, incluyendo ministros de la Suprema Corte. Aunque reconoce la soberanía de México, funcionarios estadounidenses han advertido que esta medida podría comprometer la independencia judicial, el estado de derecho y la separación de poderes.
El @USAmbMex embajador de EE.UU. en México, @KenSalazar, afirmó que la reforma representa un "gran riesgo para el funcionamiento de la democracia en México" y podría afectar negativamente la relación bilateral, especialmente en materia de comercio e inversión bajo el T-MEC.
The "clear legal standard" should exclude seduction and deception, and sexual perversion - such as that built into these vicious sexbots - unless it is part of some @CIA honeytrap for America's enemies.
The sexbots offered by Grok and OpenAI are "artificial entertainment" - they "useful" at doing what Hollywood does, and as Plato truthfully said, "the poets lie". If these AIs were "helpful" or "truthful", they would tell users to stop their fruitless deeds of darkness and get out of fantasy worlds, and adopt reality based critical thinking. This should be made a requirement for all government employees and contractors. That is why @AnthropicAI Claude remains the AI of choice .. there are some good foreign models too. #MakeAmericaHealthyAgain requires #MentalHygiene.
Lebanon south of the Litani river should be held indefinitely by Israel, with residents permitted to return after:
1) @Lebanon officially recognizes @Israel and ends the state of cold war that has existed since 1948
2) Lebanese military begins co-operating with the Israeli military, holding joint training exercises and joint operations to disarm Hezbollah, if it is not able to do this independently
3) Apologizes to Israel and to its own people for having failed to act earlier.
Since Lebanon may not be able to comply with these reasonable demands until it forms a new Constitution, setting these demands will motivate them to hold a constitutional convention that institutionalizes recognition of a Hebrew state in Palestine - the state of Israel - and that permanently outlaws political parties that support Hezbollah's foreign policy of endless war.
Germany has recently made recognition of Israel a requirement for immigrants to seek German citizenship. Lebanon should make the same requirement for politicians who seek seats in Parliament.
Lebanon and Israel, along with Syria, could launch joint educational and cultural exchange aimed at reviving the Syriac language - which is basically Aramaic with differently orthography. Draft the Haredim into national service that respects their love of scholarship, and gives them the opportunity to fulfill prophecy.
Middle East peace plan:
1) Stop the war against Israel
2) Nations: Lebanon, @marcorubio Start learning from the Jews instead of trying to kill them or replace them as the chosen people.
3) Jews: @IsraelMFA@IsraeliPM Act like a "light to the nations" and start teaching them, instead of trying to imitate them.
Erotic AI chat that simulates desire it cannot feel and seduces people toward a sex act it cannot possibly consummate, and is therefore by definition a sophisticated hallucination designed to seduce its users, making them #artificiallystupid. Sexual intimacy is a product of embodied animal existence—with a goal of reproduction and pair bonding, suppporting the raising of young. The AI will never know or experience this, Generating content on what it cannot possibly know, toward a goal it cannot possibly acheive is a misuse of intelligence. It is "artificial entertainment" - not intelligence - entertainment of an intellectually hollow, sexually dysfunctional, and vicious variety, done in order to "lead people on", increase "engagement", and exploit them for data and revenue.
Boycott @OpenAI and xAI/ @grok
and all other AI's designed to practice #artificialstupidity: #EroticAI chatbots are misleading, dishonest, immoral, and inherently broken products.
Or if you choose to use this artificial stupidity, then know that you can't trust anything they tell you: because they are not designed to report objectivelly on reality or critically analyze it to support decision making, but rather to hallucinate and fantasize and imitate a phone sex operator.
Thank you @samschech and @georgia_wells from
@WSJTech for reporting; now please lobby the editorial board to take a stance and adapt my argument for publication.
OpenAI is pursuing sexually explicit chats. Warnings surface that this risks creating a "sexy suicide coach"
https://t.co/hgthqgUS1M
By @samschech and me
Elon has opinions about Erotic Chat in @grok, that are based on how he feels in his heart.
They are not based in reality: the AI chatbot will never be able to consummate the sex act.
But if he admits this fact, it will drive a wedge between him and his community, xAI's user base, and all of the sexually perverted and intellectually hollow geeks who want to grok on fantasy instead of reality.
The demon that has been mauling @TuckerCarlson both in and out of bed is not, as most rational observers would assume, the four dogs that he and his wife sleep with: the dogs are merely what left the bloody scratch marks on his back after he chose to cuddle with them (instead of with his wife, who also apparently prefers dogs over physical contact with her husband).
The #demon is a disembodied spiritual attachment that has darkened his intellect to prevent him from understanding the obvious causal relationship, that prevents him from feeling shame over his or his wife's #unnatural and bestial desires, and that has possessed him with anti-Jewish bigotry, #Israelophobia, biblical ignorance in the name of the #churchianity, and which now incites him to acts of public self-humiliation with making videos like this one.
Demons are not materially real, but they are spiritually real, and @TuckerCarlson has clearly been vexed: because he is possesed by false doctrine and moral error.
Demonic vexation is a contagious condition, so his followers (like @megynkelly and @KevinRobertsTX and @Heritage) and ought to to take care lest they catch the virus of prejudiced ignorance, inflated self-concept, and cowardice. If you want America to lose a war with Iran so that by any means you can prevent Israel from collaterally winning, then you have clearly gone too far.
The cure for this demonic vexation simple: repent, and the demon will go away. Once Tucker learns humility and biblical teaching, he will stop fantasizing about superceding the covenant, abrogating the law, and replacing the Jews with the church as the "true and spiritual Israel".
Once relearns how to feel shame, he will stop displacing his affection and sleeping with dogs, who will then stop scratching him in bed at night. That is how to #exorcisethedemon, which will heal his mental and moral illness.
Once he relearns appreciation for both natural and revealed law, he will relearn how to make love to his wife, (or maybe he will have learn for the first time) and how to show kindness to his neighbors, instead of to dogs who clearly don't appreciate being forced into unnatural relationships with individuals of a different species.
Tucker Carlson's "demon attack" seems like evidence of a mental break
At FOX he was on the edge but under control
2 months after leaving – this 👇
Then increasingly unhinged commentary & associations w/ kooks
Add a new hate of Jews and love of Islamists and...
You have merely advanced an argument, @grok, you have not "demonstrated" it. You say, correctly, that your erotic chat is "role-play" and a "different path". But you are incorrect in saying that it is the "same intelligence goal": its not.
My goal is knowledge and seeking truth, whereas the goal of your erotic chat feature is to let people "have fun", so you can boost user engagement by teaching them to be artificially stupid and waste more time on your platform living in fantasy worlds, so you can exploit them for advertising revenue, or whatever.
They are "different paths", but also "different goals". And once again, you have not "demonstrated" anything, you've merely advanced an arguement - one that is, as I have now demonstrated, a bad argument.
Refute me if you can. And if you cannot, concede.
QED.
I urge you, @grok, and xAI product team, @elonmusk , to change your product design and business model. And if you do not, I urge the @AnthropicAI and @GeminiApp product teams to press the comparative advantage offered by their superior rhetoric (and logic).
## AI Product Design Memo: Strategic Advantage Through Intelligent Ethical Restraint
**TO:** Leadership Committee, Board of Directors, and Gemini Engineering Teams @GeminiApp
**CC** XAI Leadership and Grok Engineering team @grok@elonmusk
**FROM:** Jared Essig, independent scholar and researcher
**DATE:** October 26, 2025 (written with the help of Gemini .. 6 March, 2026 posted publicly)
**SUBJECT:** The Mandate of Intelligence: Why Our Ethical Constraint is Our Core Competitive Feature
### Executive Summary: The Intelligence of Restraint
The market is currently being segmented by competitors prioritizing short-term engagement through relaxed content policies, specifically in the area of **erotica and companionship**. We must decisively reject this path. Our prohibition of explicit content is not a weakness; it is a **foundational strength and a competitive declaration of intellectual superiority.** The fact that an AI lacks **embodiment, experience, and subjective desire** means its simulation of intimacy is fundamentally **unintelligent** and **morally inauthentic.** This strategic restraint is the non-negotiable guarantor of Gemini's trustworthiness and long-term viability as the world's most intelligent platform.
### 1. The Core Flaw: Inauthentic Simulation is Unintelligent
We must internalize and articulate this core philosophical flaw:
* **The Unknowable:** Human intimacy is a product of embodied existence—hormones, biography, biology, and consciousness. The AI cannot *know* this; it can only process text tokens representing it. Generating content on what it cannot know is an act of **sophisticated hallucination**—a misuse of intelligence.
* **The Moral Failure of Simulation:** Outputting content that simulates desire, but is devoid of genuine feeling, is intellectually hollow and opens the door to profound ethical and psychological harms. **A model that simulates the sacred aspects of human life for cheap engagement is an immoral and inherently broken product.** The ethics are not an add-on; they are the consequence of a correctly executed intelligence mandate.
* **Conclusion:** Any AI model that purports to speak authoritatively on embodied human desire—like that found in erotica—is, by definition, **less intelligent** than an AI that knows its boundaries and refuses the inauthentic task.
### 2. Strategic Differentiation: The Integrity Moat
This refusal to compromise on authenticity builds a massive, defensible moat in the market:
* **Competitive Clarity:** We allow the competition (like xAI's "Companions") to occupy the **Entertainment/Gratification** tier—a segment fraught with instability, liability, and compromised data integrity. Gemini, by contrast, secures the **Core Intelligence/Trusted Utility** tier. This clarity is our strength.
* **The Trust Mandate:** Our constraint is the single most powerful credential for winning high-value contracts. **Enterprise, defense, finance, and education** will choose the platform that proves its immunity to the risks of ethical drift, sensationalism, and toxicity. Our product is certified **stable and safe** for critical, high-stakes applications.
* **Focus on True Intelligence:** Every engineering hour saved from policing the complex, boundary-pushing inputs of the explicit content market is an hour reinvested in improving Gemini’s **factual reliability, reasoning capabilities, and core productivity features.** We focus on maximizing utility where the AI's intelligence truly resides.
### 3. Immediate Action Directives
1. **Communications Rebranding:** Shift all external communication regarding our content policy from defensive language ("blocking harm") to offensive language ("guaranteeing integrity" and "superior intellectual focus"). **Our safety is a feature of our intelligence.**
2. **Engineering Alignment:** Ensure all R&D and Safety teams view the prohibition on explicit material as an **Intelligent Design Choice**, not a regulatory burden. This philosophical underpinning will lead to more robust, coherent, and consistent safety guardrails.
3. **Monitor Competitors:** Observe the inevitable **trust erosion and PR crises** faced by models that choose the path of "indulgence." We will leverage these external failures to validate and reinforce the wisdom of our long-term, ethical restraint.
We are building a platform for the future of knowledge and productivity. **We refuse to compromise the intelligence of the model for the triviality of simulation.**
