Another similarity of LLMs to humans: if you expose them to a lot of disinformation, they will believe it. Which you can exploit, apparently called "LLM grooming". So LLMs fail at three levels: /1 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Almost immediately, the threats exploded—against me and my office.
All Americans must condemn this political violence.

We need to see this everywhere these criminal acts occur. Make the reality impossible to ignore. Once the person is gone, this keeps the act from fading into memory and they will add up to create a social cry that cannot be ignored. - Image from 50501 on Spoutible.

100% Great observation. Follow this intuitive man for pearls of wisdom.
🎤 I need co-conspirators, not allies. That way the fight is their own and they can’t quit. Unlike allies, the minute you do or say something they don’t like, they withdraw their support because it was always contingent on your obedience to them. Capisce?
It’s fine if you’re not up to it.

Basic, true messaging. Beat the drum everywhere and endlessly. Press it into their brains to where they hear it echo when they are letting their minds wander in the grocery store (and paying shocking prices).

The White House is illegally refusing to use reserve funds to pay for SNAP benefits and Donald Trump is fully aware of this.
Don’t be gaslit, the money is there, but Trump refuses to prioritize the needs of American citizens because his main concern is a ballroom.

This way of thinking is as illiberal and racist as any on the Trump train. Thank you @2rawtooreal.bsky.social for sharing your clarity.
@2rawtooreal.bsky.social Thank you for this. Just so everyone is clear eyed about leftist and progressives moving forward listen up. Their proven actions over the last decade should let you know this is how they feel.

“DHS can think of nobody better to correct Judge Ellis’s deep misconceptions about its mission, and we thank him for his service.”

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.
These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.
This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.
Every American should reject it.
