Whoa.... Devin Booker just WENT OFF on the NBA refs right now in the post game press conference:
"It's definitely something that has to be looked at. I heard (Alex) Caruso tell them to call the tech and he ended up doing it. In my 11 years, I haven't called a ref out by name, but James (Williams) was terrible tonight, through and through. It's bad for the sport, bad for the integrity of the sport. People are going to start viewing this as the WWE if they're not held responsible."
"I know I haven't won a championship in this league but I have been in it for 11 years now, so to get to this point to be treated like that, for me to even be saying something out loud, it's bad. It's my first time in 11 years but it's needed. Whatever, I get fined for it, everybody can pull the clips and see where the frustration comes from."
AMBER ALERT: Officials in Florida have issued an Amber Alert for 15-year-old Adriana Hernandez.
She was last seen in the area of the 6400 block of Bruce Lane in Milton, FL.
She may have a reddish-brown tint in her hair. She may have also traveled to Georgia.
If you have any
This is NOT an MVP debate. The MVP voting is silly and slanted at times. This is just an observation:
A center just finished the season as the NBA leader in assists and rebound average (1st time ever) and 7th in scoring.
A center did that.
A center.
Video games get unnecessary hate.
I realize I’m a small minority on the RW adjacent side because I’ve always been pro video games but for good reason.
Gamers have immaculate taste in the arts.
Scrolling your phone is infinitely worse than playing a video game. I’ll never forget the first time I played Pokémon red version with my dad. It was a great bonding activity as a kid and instilled a competitive nature that helped me in all aspects of my life.
Or playing “The Last of Us” with my husband. Watching him discover video games for the first time through “Skyrim.”
Working with Nintendo at E3 each year to battle people from all over the world in the new Super Smash Brothers game.
The hatred of video games is a hatred of the best art of our generation. The most talented composers have gone to video games. The best storylines come from video games. All of the top creatives have gone to video games and they do infinitely more in revenue than the most successful films.
Playing video games from the age of 7-10, helped me in school. It made testing and memorization effortless.
What does DNA stand for? “Deoxyribonucleic Acid” obviously because Deoxys is the DNA pokémon.
What was the coin used in Ancient Greece? Drachma. I played “Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.”
Scrolling on social media can destroy your creativity. It turns you into a consumer instead of a creator. Whereas video games require decision making and you to use your reflexes.
Also Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy is one of the most likable female characters ever. I WISH Hollywood would take note!
🚨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.
