This story explains a LOT of things: ChatGPT appears to be rooting on sociopathic mental illness by validating every delusion of grandeur.

It also explains, in part, the hype cycle around AI: rich people, addicted to praise, invented a Compliment Machine.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

“The reason we’re here is because the government of the United States wants you to leave the United States,” Judge Ubaid ul-Haq, presiding from a courtroom on Varick Street, told a group of about a dozen children on a recent morning on Webex. “It’s my job to figure out if you have to leave,” ul-Haq continued. “It’s also my job to figure out if you should stay.” The parties included a 7-year-old boy, wearing a shirt emblazoned with a pizza cartoon, who spun a toy windmill while the judge spoke. There was an 8-year-old girl and her 4-year-old sister, in a tie-dye shirt, who squeezed a pink plushy toy and stuffed it into her sleeve. None of the children were accompanied by parents or attorneys, only shelter workers who helped them log on to the hearing.

Children as young as *four* are being put in the position of representing themselves without lawyers/parents present in front of immigration judges in cases that will determine whether they are deported.

Join u/SouthernVeritas • 1d Terminated fed? Plan to run for local and state offices and especially for US Congress https://ballotpedia.org/ Filing_requirements_for_congressional_candidates During the 2002-2012 period, while a housewife, 1 conducted consumer advocacy and civil rights work that captured media attention. On several occasions I was asked to consider running for statewide office. A divorce in 2013 stymied that possibility and, instead, I returned to the workforce and ultimately became a federal employee. Since 2017, I've often said that if I won the lottery I would immediately resign from my fed position and announce my candidacy for US HofR. The lottery hasn't happened, but Nov 2024 did. And now the diabolical purges. If you've already been terminated (for which I feel tremendous empathy for you and believe you can articulate your plan for a better tomorrow and hopeful future, please consider running for office. Unseating current Republicans in local, state and federal offices is imperative not only for your family's, community's, and state's sakes but also for the future of democracy in America. 1984 is here and you're currently free to run for office. This could be your new public service, and I know you would follow your oath to the Constitution unlike the supine Republicans in Congress. Forward we must go. Stay strong. You matter. EDITED TO SAY: Thank you to posters who are providing links and/or names of groups who might in some way assist those seeking political office. Join the conversation ②固

The ones that could stand up won't because there is no cohesive leftist movement. There are separate groups but they don't get along long enough to organize and resist

And just like that, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau homepage, consumerfinance.gov, is being erased. As of January 30, 2025, CFPB enforcement actions resulted in

Nobody elected Elon Musk. So why is Trump granting him all-access powers to get rid of funding for Medicaid, Social Security and more?! We need to get Musk's hands off our money and stop the Musk takeover NOW.

Working with the Trump administration: “We now have an opportunity to have a productive partnership with the United States government and we’re going to take that. I think it’s the right thing to do because there are several areas, even if we don’t agree on everything, where we have common cause for things that are going to make it so that we can serve our community better and we can advance the interests of our country together… We’re going to do those in a way that we’re not going to compromise any of our principles or values.”

Americans Have Little Sympathy for Murdered Health Insurance Exec Americans expressed virtually no sympathy for the apparently targeted killing of UnitedHealthcare's CEO by mystery gunman in New York.

Yeah no shit. Why would anyone have sympathy for someone who denied critical healthcare at a rate significantly ABOVE the average? (Or, let's be honest, at all)

I understand that, but it's not like they're going to listen to anyone that doesn't rubber stamp their plans. There has to be a better way than being a "no" vote
