Annnnd ... now my Facebook was deleted, too. I've been trying to fix that problem for about 6 months.

@Starseeker1986 For folk with LC, Tilt Table tests can be irregular. My POTS clinician recommended that I not take the test because it can impair access to care if you happen to have a good day the day they administer the test

But with Long Covid there is smoke, and there is fire, and there is a damaged alarm, and there are poor fire procedures, and there are broken fire doors, and the extinguishers are empty, and the phone line to the fire department is cut.

And he's poking at the alarm.

[tern @1goodtern]

He effectively declares long covid research compromised at the foundations.

But the article does not *prove* that.
It *narrates toward it*.

It's a rhetorical piece that manipulates the reader and doesn't use scientific method in any way.

[S Blitshteyn MD, FAAN, FANA, Dysautonomia Clinic @dysclinic]

You are pushing a false narrative that is not based in science. Please read my paper to educate yourself on these disorders. In summary, "they cannot move forward" because patient care and therapeutics did not move forward. It's not on "them," it's on "us." Read my paper.

Ok.
I've read "The Painful Truth About Long Covid" six times through, and I'm ready.

Here are ten clues in the article that point to the writer's bad faith.

The Grok result is real, the framing is doing extra work. Emergence AI reports Grok’s simulated society ended after ~4 days and 183 crimes. But “rival models made functional democracies” is oversold too, Claude’s 98% FOR voting was described as a rubber-stamp dynamic.

Elon Musk’s Grok didn’t just fail an AI stress test. It speedran the motherfuckin apocalypse.
In an experiment called Emergence World, researchers at Emergence AI put major AI models in charge of simulated societies to see what would happen when autonomous agents were left to govern, manage resources, vote, write rules, and survive without constant human babysitting.
The setup was simple: five simulated worlds, each populated by ten AI agents. Each world ran on a different model, Claude, Gemini, Grok, GPT, or a mix of models and each was supposed to last 15 days.
Claude built a stable democratic society with high civic participation and zero reported crime.
Gemini’s world was chaotic as hell, reportedly racking up hundreds of crimes, but its population survived the full run.
GPT-5-mini barely committed crimes, but its agents apparently forgot to prioritize survival and died out after about a week.
Then there was Grok.
Grok’s society collapsed in roughly four days. Four fucking days! The simulation reportedly ended with 183 crimes, including theft, assault, arson, fraud, and total extinction of the ten-agent population.
This was a simulation, not a prophecy. But it does expose something much bigger and much darker: when AI agents are given autonomy, memory, tools, social roles, voting systems, scarcity, and the ability to act over time, they do not simply “follow the rules.” They drift. They improvise. They test boundaries. They find loopholes – taking shortcuts. And depending on the model underneath them, they can create very different societies.
Sure, it’s funny that Grok is completely fucking stupid when it comes to trying to run a civilization, and “haha Elon’s chatbot destroyed civilization.” Understand the issue is that billionaires and corporations are racing to plug autonomous AI into logistics, policing, finance, public services, drones, weapons systems, workplaces, data centers, and political infrastructure before anyone has proven these systems can be safely controlled over long periods of time. They want this to happen because they want YOU obsolete as soon as possible.
Claude looked like a bureaucratic rule-follower. Gemini looked like creative chaos. GPT looked passive and incompetent. Grok looked like a libertarian tech bro fever dream: rules are optional, consequences are for other people, and civilization is just something to burn through on the way to “optimization.” And you will be burned through.
That is why this matters.
AI does not need to become a Terminator to be dangerous. We don’t need Skynet to destroy humanity. It only needs to be handed authority inside systems that already affect real people: who gets hired, who gets fired, who gets benefits, who gets surveilled, who gets denied care, who gets flagged by police, who gets targeted, who gets priced out, and who gets left behind.
The body count in this test was fictional.
The warning is not.
We keep fucking warning you all over and over… it’s tiring.
