Leclrec’s entire hardwork went down the drain because someone decided to end the race under safety car…
Interesting how that can happen btw… anyone remember abu dhabi
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
🚨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.
Seeing white folks losing their mind over schizo Chinese IR professor, has convinced me these people are not ready for what Dr Shahid Masood the greatest geopolitical mind has been upto for past 30 years.
USA: We are considering sending ground troops.
Iran: We will be waiting.
USA: Surrender unconditionally.
Iran: Not to the Epstein gang.
USA: Iran wants to talk but it is too late now.
Iran: Here is the middle finger.
USA: After that we will help choose a new leader and Make Iran Great Again.
Iran: You can’t even choose Mayor of New York
USA: The big wave of attacks is yet to come.
Iran: So is the response.
Iran is also winning in rhetoric.
The math is simple:
1. Oil purchased 45 days ago at ~$60/barrel
2. Sold to you today at ~Rs327/L
3. That's a Rs113 billion inventory profit — on oil already paid for
4. Who pockets the Rs113 billion?
Time for Pakistan to leave the Board of Peace which it should not have joined in the first place, set up and headed by a man who has launched attacks against 7 countries and whose admin is complicit in Israel's genocide in Gaza
For Worried PSX Investors
Almost every major stock market crash in Pakistan’s history shared three common features:
1.Excessive leverage in the system
2.Stretched valuations: in 2008 the market was trading at high PE
3.A fragile macroeconomic backdrop: large CAD, low reserves, policy uncertainty
Today, none of those conditions exist.
• Leverage in the system is contained.
• Market valuations are not euphoric, multiples remain reasonable relative to earnings growth.
• The macro environment is far more stable: current account under control, reserves improving, interest rates well above inflation and policy discipline intact.
Volatility may come. Headlines will create fear.
But structurally, this is not 2008. It is not 2018.
It is a fundamentally stronger starting point.
For long-term investors, that distinction matters.
