I don’t know shit about AI except this: Don’t ask it for advice and don’t believe anything it tells you.
One woman, who had no history of mental illness, asked ChatGPT for advice on a major purchase. It convinced her that businesses were colluding to have her investigated by the government.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara did the right thing. Preserve the evidence of another cold-blooded Gestapo murder.
The Star Tribune reports that federal agents "attempted to order local police from the scene" where a man was shot and killed by feds this morning, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and "instructed his officers to preserve the scene."
Live: Man shot and killed by federal agents in south Minneapolis this morning, police chief says
A video appears to shows federal agents wrestling a man to the ground then shooting him.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

With amped-up Ice agents who think they have complete immunity, acting as judge, jury and executioner.
They are telling us in unequivocal terms that if you show solidarity with immigrants who are in the literal crosshairs of Trump/MAGA, you're risking a death sentence.

In a civilised society the military would turn on their despotic leader and remove him from power.
They would defend the constitution and protect the people.
The American people are not safe.
The constitution is under attack.
Remove him.

This is not a joke. He doesn’t joke. He isn’t capable of humor. Karoline Pieceofshitt said he was being “facetious.” And yes, we know he doesn’t have that authority, but he controls the military and has state officials more than willing to do his bidding, so this threat cannot simply be laughed off.
