This is a fantastic article from @mharrisondupre.bsky.social that lays out the core issues with ChatGPT and psychosis. I really appreciate the point that the industry’s own claims about AI technology are not rooted in reality and reinforce delusional thinking. futurism.com/chatgpt-ment...

I spent some time at the site where protestors incinerated five Waymos—all lined up neatly in a row in downtown LA—and spoke to journalists, eyewitnesses and activists who were there.
This is how protestors weaponized Waymos and Lime scooters, and turned them into icons of the anti-ICE uprising

I spent so many years covering propaganda anticipating this exact moment and so many of my peers bought the paid-for contrarian line that even covering disinformation was somehow, itself, censorship.
Now we're at the event horizon. Celebration is protest is riot is justification for a police state.

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous.

Cries of Defiance and Songs of Joy in Los Angeles
The protesters are being called unspeakably violent by the Trump administration. I mostly saw clergy sit-ins and Tejano bands.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

The attack on Josh Shapiro and his family during the first night of Passover is chilling, tbh. Maybe it has nothing to do with them being Jewish. But we don’t know that right now. The historical echoes are bad, either way.
