    RFKJ wants a reality that bends to his delusion. The fact he associates expertise and facts with “tyranny” is unsurprising.

        That depends how you phrase the question. AI has a tendency to affirm whatever you ask it, so if the question is leading towards a positive answer AI will probably agree with it.

      Reality is an awful tyrant. No matter how hard one tries, they’ll never be free of its yoke.

      No matter how high you try to rise above yourself or your mortal position, you will never be anything more than a homunculus-in-a-bottle!

      Oh, hear me, God! I demand you answer the cry of my soul! Come to me! Join me! YES! I will no longer be bound to you and your consequences! I’LL FORCE YOU DOWN TO THIS EARTH AND INTO MY BOWELS—YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO BE ABSORBED!

      Later:

      What’s wrong with seeking perfection? Well, speak! What are you, anyway? Do you even have a name? Who the hell do you think you are?!

      Who am I? One name you might have for me is the world, or you might call me the universe, or perhaps God, or perhaps the Truth. I am All, and I am One. So, of course, this also means that I am you. I am the truth of your despair, the inescapable price of your boastfulness. And now, I will bestow upon you the despair you deserve.

      Don’t do this to me. I can’t… I can’t go back. Please stop! I can’t bare to be bound any longer! AHHHHHHH! No! No no no no!

      This despair is reserved for the boastful.

      Just tell me what I was supposed to do!

      You brought this outcome upon yourself.

      What did I do wrong?! What should I have done?!

      [Gate slams shut]

      You simply must have seen the answer with your own eyes.

      Why doesn’t he just become an Idealist, listen to Spirit Science, and insist reality isn’t real? Works for the New Agers.

    With Hegseth also announcing that they’re purging people with actual experience in order to replace them with zealots from evangelical “universities”, it’s like the USA is run by the Bluth family from Arrested Development

        Somehow everything the US does is in Putins benefit.

        • Pressuring Ukraine and stopping weapon deliveries? check (I would find it fucking funny that Trump practically begged Ukraine to stop hitting russian oil refineries and blaming them for the high diesel price if it weren’t that aggravating. No, i don’t think they will do that - attack cadence was about one refinery hit every 3 days since the start of the year, and that will get worse, not better. Russians are gonna start driving with moonshine instead of fuel soon, because at least they can make moonshine themselves)
        • pushing the oil price into the stratosphere and removing sanctions on russian oil to make Putin profit from the oil he can normally only sell at steep discounts? check
        • working together in meddling in Brazil to get Bolsonaro’s son elected? check
        • destabilizing NATO? check

        Edit: I forgot!

        • wasting tons of PAC3 interceptors on cheap drones to make sure Ukraine can’t buy any? check

        Edit 2: The news are giving me even more points to add!

        • The US cutting out large european NATO allies out of a conference in fucking Poland

    The opinion of anyone impressed by the function or output of a LLM enough to believe it is in any way adjacent to intelligence should be summarily dismissed, and ridiculed should they persist.

    “We’re never, ever again going to be able to be dominated by public officials who tell us trust the experts, because every American will be able to check their own medical advice,” Kennedy said.

    Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    Literally a Sophon (from Three Body Problem): actively derailing our science and consequently instilling distrust in the entire process. And ai wouldn’t be surprised if some former scientists have become so existentially disillusioned that they decided to off themselves

      And if you’re a republican American, remember: in order to combat fraudulent votes, and to make the count more efficient, the republicans are voting on the 9th of November.
