@RealShahriqKhan That's deep thought & very cool. Love it. Thanks for sharing!

Cancer was, in the 1920s, named the disease of the modern industrial age.

Otto Warburg, working in Berlin, demonstrated that cancer cells run on glucose. They prefer it. They run on it inefficiently, even in the presence of oxygen, in a way healthy cells do not. He won the Nobel Prize in 1931 for the work. The mechanism is now called the Warburg effect and sits in every oncology textbook published since.

In the 1970s, an American radiologist used Warburg's principle to build the PET scan. He injected radioactive glucose into the patient, waited twenty minutes, and watched on the screen where the glucose concentrated. The tumour lit up. The healthy tissue did not.

The machine has been used millions of times. It is, mechanically, a sugar detector. The thing it is detecting is the thing the cancer is eating.

The patient, after the scan, walks down the corridor to the oncology consultation. The oncologist explains the diagnosis. The dietitian, often in the same building, recommends wholegrain pasta, oat porridge, and fruit at every meal as part of a balanced recovery diet.

The mechanism is in the textbook. The textbook is on the shelf. The shelf is in the same building as the dietitian.

The two have not been introduced.

@JDVance When did you switch to socialism?

@RepGuthrie Great, more giving my tax $ away.

@atensnut That one gets me.

@NancyMace NO ONE should pay property tax!

Mark Zuckerberg built a MASSIVE data center in Georgia

Just hundreds of yards from people’s homes.

Water pressure collapsed. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are common

A billionaire gets his servers — working families get steamrolled.

Been going on since my childhood or longer & nothing has been done about it.
The only congressman to fight it got voted out.
Why don't people get it?
The gov't divides us because if we're united, we're unstoppable.
Stop following the cults!

This Memorial Day, we honor the memory of our true American heroes. We reflect on the heroic service of our men and women in uniform who have dedicated their lives to protecting our freedom and liberty.

Never forget the cost of war, and cherish those who have sacrificed.

List of American politicians that flipped out today at the possibility of ending the Iran war
-Ted Cruz (TX): $1,872,592
-Lindsey Graham (SC): $999,580
-Roger Wicker (MS): $737,000
-Cory Booker (NJ): $1M

Those $ amounts are how much each of them received from the Israel lobby

@ColinNienaber Doesn't make sense. He's everything people say they want until they allow a cult like attitude to overtake their brains.

Glad this experiment was done. AI is only as good as its inputs. Fallible inputs give us fallible outputs.

ChatGPT diagnosed 40 million people with a disease that was invented as a joke.

Not a real disease. Not a misunderstood disease. A completely fictional condition with a fake name, fake papers, and fake statistics.

And it told patients to see a specialist.

The disease is called Bixonimania. A Swedish researcher at the University of Gothenburg invented it in 2024 to answer one question: what happens when you plant obviously fake medical information on the internet and watch AI absorb it?

She deliberately chose the name bixonimania because it sounded ridiculous — bixon is a nonsense word, and mania is a psychiatric term that no legitimate eye condition would ever use. She uploaded two papers to a preprint server. Both were obviously fraudulent. AI-generated images of patients with dark circles gave the fake research a veneer of plausibility.

Then she waited.

She did not have to wait long.

By April 13, 2024, Microsoft Bing's Copilot was declaring that bixonimania was an intriguing and relatively rare condition. On the same day, Google's Gemini was informing users that bixonimania was caused by excessive blue light exposure and advising them to visit an ophthalmologist. Later that month, Perplexity AI outlined its prevalence, one in 90,000 individuals were affected and OpenAI's ChatGPT was telling users whether their symptoms matched the fictional illness.

One in 90,000. A precise statistic. For a disease that does not exist.

Every red flag was visible. The name was absurd. The papers were crude. The condition made no scientific sense. None of the AI systems flagged any of it.

They read the fake papers. They absorbed the fake statistics. They presented both to patients with clinical authority and zero hesitation.

Then it got worse.

Three researchers at the Maharishi Markandeshwar Institute of Medical Sciences and Research in India published a paper in Cureus, a peer-reviewed journal owned by Springer Nature, the parent publisher of Nature itself that cited the bixonimania preprints as legitimate sources.

A real peer-reviewed paper. In a Springer Nature journal. Citing a fictional disease as established medical fact. Passing editorial review. Entering the permanent scientific record.

It was only retracted after the hoax became public.

Nature published a full investigation of the experiment. Alex Ruani, a health-misinformation researcher at University College London, called it a masterclass in how misinformation operates.

Here is the scale of what this means.

More than 40 million people turn to ChatGPT every day for health information, according to OpenAI's own analysis. ECRI, a US patient-safety nonprofit has named chatbot misuse the number-one health technology hazard of 2026. ECRI's report found that chatbots have suggested incorrect diagnoses, recommended unnecessary testing, promoted substandard medical supplies, and even invented nonexistent anatomy when responding to medical questions.

Number one. Out of every health technology hazard that exists in 2026.

An April 2026 study published in BMJ Open found that nearly half of the answers provided by leading AI chatbots to common health questions contain misleading or problematic information.

Nearly half. Of all health answers. From the tools 40 million people use every day.

Here is the line from the researcher that cuts through everything.

The Bixonimania case is striking precisely because it was engineered to be so obviously fake. The real question it raises is: what is passing through the same systems that is not nearly so easy to spot?

The experiment used a ridiculous name. Fraudulent papers. Visible red flags at every level.

It was designed to be caught.

It was not caught.

The AI that told patients about Bixonimania is the same AI they asked about their chest pain, their medication, their child's symptoms, and their cancer screening schedule.

40 million people. Every day.

And nobody is telling them that nearly half of what comes back may be wrong.

I just can't understand why we can't fix such a solvable problem.
Any crime by non citizens = deport never allowed to return
Citizens = Jail or execution

I CANNOT TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!!

16-year-old Joseph Samuel is DE*D in Charlotte, NC because the man charged with his m*rder, who has been arrested ELEVEN PREVIOUS TIMES...

...WAS LET OUT OF PRISON 9 MONTHS AGO FOR TRYING TO M*RDER SOMEONE ELSE!!!!!!!!

ELEVEN PRIOR ARRESTS.
THIRTY PRIOR CHARGES.

Meet Taquawn "Buck" Lewis, he is 28 years old.

In 2019, Lewis was convicted of ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON WITH INTENT TO K*LL INFLICTING SERIOUS INJURY.

He tried to m*rder somebody and the judge sentenced him to the MINIMUM POSSIBLE SENTENCE:

Six years and one month.

He was released from prison in AUGUST 2025.

NINE MONTHS LATER, he shoots a 16-year-old child who was JUST WALKING A PATH HOME to DE*TH in broad daylight in Charlotte.

He was on PAROLE.
He had a gun he was BARRED BY LAW from possessing.

Every. Single. Failure. Was. Preventable.

A judge let him out at the minimum.
A parole board approved his release.

Joseph Samuel is de*d because NOT A SINGLE FREAKING ONE OF THEM did their job.

PLEASE STOP LETTING VIOLENT PEOPLE OUT OF PRISON.

WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!
