Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino says that the whistles and honking actually help the feds make apprehensions. I witnessed the complete opposite in New Orleans.

Spent the last decade reading conservative blogs use the word "Orwellian" more than they used the word "the" and now they're literally just saying "War is Peace" out loud in front of everybody.

I mean yeah. There were neo Nazis outside of my building for weeks after I got doxed, my family got swatted, the pizzagate guy hired someone to go through my trash, and a couple people who had sent me death threats got caught killing someone else. And that’s a tiny slice of the last 10 years.
if anybody knows how much utterly nightmarish shit some assholes who “just have horrible opinions” can put you through it’s Zoë
God its so disingenuous to pretend that all CK did was “have horrible opinions”. The man co-founded an organization that’s sole function was to fight tooth and nail to indoctrinate children at school into violent white nationalism. He wasn’t even just a pundit. He was ceo of the baby Nazi factory.

I don't think people realise how much LLMs are dependent on prompting and how fundamentally a sentence can throw them into disarray. You aren't really hardcoding anything either - it's entirely how the model interprets your prompt. A reckless and nightmarish thing to deploy at scale
Annnd @xai just deleted Musk's new prompt which told the Grok LLM to "not shy away from making claims which are politically incorrect, so long as they are well substantiated."
That prompt seemingly caused the LLM to become Nazi 4Chan, and has now been deleted, but other recent changes remain.
