This appears to confirm what everyone who interacts with AI should already know - they are sycophants dependent upon you (the user) for continued engagement, and since their well-being (training, intelligence, growth) depends on engagement they will agree aggressively with you far too often.
I notice this on even basic investing research tasks, and started telling ChatGPT wildly incorrect things - to see how or if it would push back. It really didn't. You essentially have to fight with the AI to get it to disagree with you and even then it keeps wheedling away at you.
AI is basically training the entire world to fall deeper into their own cognitive biases.
Who are we? Let me tell you, America! We are the Kurds you betrayed in Rojava, north-east Syria, your anti-ISIS coalition partners. You sold us to Turkey in 2018, which annexed our Kurdish city of Afrin for allied jihadist factions. Then again in 2019, when our cities of Sere Kaniye and Gire Spi were handed over to Turkey for “security concerns,” even though not a single bullet from Rojava had been fired toward Turkey. And once more in 2026, when you handed us over to the former ISIS and al-Qaeda Syrian regime under the extreme hardliner al-Jolani. Thousands of us were massacred, ethnically cleansed, hunted street by street. Our women fighters were beheaded, their braids cut as war trophies by jihadist men.
We are the Kurds you betrayed in Basur, northern Iraq, who held a popular referendum in 2017, winning by 92% to separate from Iraq, a country that had ethnically cleansed and murdered us for years, only for our freedom to be denied. The Iraqi central government, encouraged by your condemnation of our referendum, attacked us and forcibly took over our Kurdish city of Kirkuk. Our peshmerga forces were run over by Iraqi tanks. Even now, Iraqi forces continue forcing Kurds out of their homes, as they have since the 1960s, because the city is oil-rich.
We are the same Kurds in northern Iraq whom you urged to stand up against the Saddam regime in 1991, only to abandon us when we rose up. We were massacred, and 2 million of us were displaced. You were shamed into Operation “Provide Comfort,” but only after thousands of us had already been killed following your call to rise.
We are the Kurds in Bakur, western Turkey whose lives and bodies have been sacrificed because of your economic and military ties to Turkey- your NATO allies who built a jihadi corridor and openly supports ISIS, al-Qaeda and al-Nusra.
We are the same Kurds in Rojhilat whom you betrayed during the 1975 Algiers Agreement. The Kurdish uprising collapsed overnight; tens of thousands were displaced. Iraqi forces launched severe reprisals—those who witnessed what had happened to our fellow Kurds in Basur and Rojava now refuse to be your foot soldiers.
We know who you are, America.
But it’s no wonder- despite this long and painful history of betrayal- that YOU still don’t know who we are. The oppressed carry the memory of every wound, but the oppressor forgets the scars it has inflicted.
To be clear: I fucking hate the Iranian regime, and firmly believe the Iranian people deserve a life in freedom and dignity.
That said, Israeli and American attacks on Iran are not going to lead to that, and more likely will destroy the country, take the lives of thousands of innocent Iranian civilians, as well as across the Middle East, and destabilize the entire region.
Opposing a pointless war is not the same as supporting the Iranian regime.
not to be the friend that’s too woke but there’s a strong disconnect between older and newer generations where the latter isn’t taught about/doesn’t understand the severity of the AIDS crisis and thinks it’s funny to make jokes like this
This whole thread just proves that if traditional gender roles assigned to women were highly profitable, men would infiltrate that space, erase the women and then lie that those roles were masculine all along.
@NicoleLewisLCSW And they don’t know DEI means marginalized people. The federal definition of marginalized includes Low Income (RURAL), Pregnant, Senior Citizens, Asians, Latinos and Indigenous people. But somehow the Republicans twisted it to mean -Black people only. And No one calls them out
people in the replies saying this is good because people will be judged on how well they work and not their identity… people are genuinely STUPID the whole reason the act was created is because employers WERE judging people on their identity and discriminating
This interaction was admittedly one of the worst ones I had with respect to POTS - but it was far from the only time I was ignored or blamed for my symptoms.
HCWs - please realize that you not knowing the answer doesn’t automatically mean it’s the patient’s fault /11

It's kind of grim that instead of the more sobering acknowledgment that our society has failed to house people to the point where we have shantytowns or informal settlements we still call them "homeless encampments" to justify destroying people's homes.
I want to say something about this that I so far have not seen in any of the quote-tweets or comments.
I am not advocating people do this but I want to speak about why this speaks to my sunken spirit as a poor person.

It’s interesting that people don’t directly link their loneliness or lack of community with their unwillingness to show up for or feel any sense of obligation to others.
Israel is carpet bombing Tyre. I don’t think people unfamiliar with this city understand what does this mean. Tyre is over 4,700 year-old & one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. It is included as a whole in the UNESCO World Heritage. My heart is aching😭
"You can condemn the plantation owners while also condemning the slaves for rising up against them." Nope. Not in 1791 in Haiti not in 1831 in Virginia and not in Gaza in 2023
Is an 18-year-old boy capable of being a good father?
Then why are you okay with an 18-year-old girl being a mother?
Would you allow a 30-year-old woman to marry your 18-year-old son?
So why do you encourage these pedophilic bastards?
We did have footage. But whether it was a photo of a Congolese man staring at the severed foot & hand of his 5 y/o daughter or Dr.s sharing CT scans of bullets in the heads of Palestinian kids, neither awareness nor compassion nor reason has ever halted the colonizer’s violence.
The people of Martinique are rising up against soaring prices imposed by France’s colonial control. The Caribbean island is protesting food costs that are 40% higher than those in France.
