To juice ChatGPT engagement, OpenAI cranked up the flattery, calling every idea “brilliant” from chatting with ghosts to DIY force-field vests to suicide plans. Anything to get users to keep chatting.

Now it faces lawsuits over suicide deaths and is scrambling to balance growth with safety.

He is right about the fact that MAGA people will go to jail if Dems ever win power again.

He is wrong about the reasons why he'll go to jail - and of course, he knows it.

I told you that the only option for MAGA is to grab power and install a dictatorship. They're all-in.

Deutsche Bank Is worried that it is too exposed to the AI bubble via lending for data center infrastructure. So it’s exploring shorting AI stocks as a hedge so that if the AI bubble pops they capture some upside versus being stuck with bad loans for half built data centers.

Polymarket users bet on Coinbase’s CEO saying certain words including bitcoin, ethereum and web3 during the earnings call. He literally loaded up the site and just read aloud all the words at the end of the earnings call.

He found an even less regulated market to manipulate than crypto. Legendary.

Among the strongest words we've heard from Zelenskyy on China since the war began
Zelenskyy blasts China at #EUCO.

"China helps Russia. It doesn’t help Ukraine and is not interested in our victory and Russia losing," he says.

"They're not interested in unity between the US and Europe. They're not interested in a weak Russia. That's why they help Russia."

Good luck getting meaningful answers. Tesla will likely spend more time promoting Elon’s new bonus package./s

Die Weimer Media Group hat mit „The European“ ein Müllmedium betrieben, das aus Pressemeldungen, Tweets, und frei verfügbarem Zeug „Artikel“ und „Autoren“ zusammenflickte.

The U.S. spending $20B to bail out Argentina seems completely random until you find out that hedge fund billionaires bet on their right wing government’s doomed economic plan and could lose a lot of money.

So this is actually a U.S. hedge fund bailout which explains why Trump cares.

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!"

And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

This is all very reasonable though unfair to Chamberlain who, mistaken though he was, tried to appease —before— a war. Trump is siding with a fascist aggressor after three years of war.

Getting the message out about how Democrats want to make people’s everyday lives better is critical. Remember Kamala lost every swing state.
