@Lobster When psychological manipulation is amplified through carefully orchestrated propaganda in order to achieve goals defined by the cold hard calculus of power and greed then it becomes obvious that someone has realized it is an exacting science.

But, alas, this is just my humble opinion based on observation.

Mathematical science shows what is. It is the language of unseen relations between things. But to use and apply that language, we must be able fully to appreciate, to feel, to seize the unseen, the unconscious.

Most Ontario-approved medical AI scribes erred in tests: auditor general.

"Supply Ontario had the bots transcribe 2 conversations betw health-care workers & patients. Most of the vendors … had inaccuracies in their results, including 'incorrect information, AI hallucinations, incomplete information,' …

60% … recorded a different drug than was prescribed … 17 of 20 'missed key details of the patients’ mental health issues in at least 1 of the 2 tests.'"

#Lying constantly is difficult. When you say you destroyed #Iran nuclear program, but then have to lie again because you continue an illegal war to assure that Iran doesn’t have a nuclear weapon, it gets goofy real soon. Meanwhile, the American people suffer with ever increasing #inflation.

The US legal system is just a plaything that the Worlds Richest Man uses to attack his enemies. He also posts online as his mother to win arguments with people.

Don't get me wrong though, 'fuck Sam Altman'....I hope the Saudis get to him first.

Welp, Gallup is no longer a source of viable anything, let along survey data:

February: Gallup says that due to cost reasons it will no longer do presidential approval polling
May: Gallup says it is exploring "digital twin" technology that replaces human respondents with AI/LLM-generated answers

John and I talked while waiting for our flights. He to Europe, me to Greenland.

As a dancer, he has a flair for clothes.

He grew up wearing hand-me-downs, so when he finally had a job of his own, he spent $27 on tailor-made pants — big money in those days.

I became so absorbed in his story and portraits that I nearly missed my flight until the gate agent recognized me from earlier and alerted me just in time. xiomaro.com/event/greenland/

State Representative Justin Jones of the "Tennessee Three" burned a paper Confederate flag in protest at racist #gerrymandering in #Tennessee.

Now TN Speaker of the House / Grand #GOP Dragon Cameron Sexton has retaliated by removing Jones from all committee assignments. Recall that last time, when the state House expelled Jones for peaceful protest against gun violence, he got voted right back in and became a national hero.

You can judge the value of everyone's actions by the #MAGA response.

State Rep. Jones says:
"I just got an official letter from Speaker Cameron Sexton stripping me of all my committee assignments for protesting their white supremacist agenda.

"Just as my white Republican colleagues chose racial retaliation against Tennessee’s Black voters, the Speaker of the House is now choosing retaliation against a Black lawmaker for standing up against their Jim Crow racial gerrymander. This is not new."
