Like Bari Weiss being stuffed by a billionaire atop CBS to lie to normies, this is billionaires stuffing rightwing ideas into AI systems to lie to normies.

The whole fascist takeover of the US is built atop an information war.

The administration “is currently pressuring OpenAI and other AI companies to make their models more conservative-friendly.”

OpenAI is trying to clamp down on ‘bias’ in ChatGPT

GPT-5 is better at resisting liberal ‘pressure,’ the company says.

ESPN screenshot:

Everything's comin' up Mühlhaus.

After several seasons scrapping lower down the table, Werder Bremen have found themselves in the heady midtable wasteland with no threat of relegation but little chance of upsetting the top of the table. That, however, hasn't stopped them from putting in some memorable performances this season, and few will surpass Larissa Mühlhaus's stunning 90 minutes in Potsdam. The heart and soul of everything Bremen did well…

Doesn't matter if it's Germany, the US, Brazil or wheverever in the world, the rule of thumb is you can't just bully clubs into caring, they have to invest because they want to

Bayern are heading for another title [prove me wrong, literally anyone] but it always means they overplay their hand in Europe and routinely come up short, and I don't just mean being on the receiving end of a fuck you catharsis from Barca.

There are enough teams in Germany that could do/be more serious, which has been the case for a number of years. Whilst there are a few who are building towards longer term visions, too many are just skating by which always means a talent bleed to direct competition. FBL is too much of a monopoly rn.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Look, I've never skeeted about this before but when I was at NYT I was involved in a sexual harassment thing. I was not the person lodging the complaint (nor was I the harasser). I was a corroborating witness let's say. Anyway, NYT did the right thing and fired the harasser.

Lads, she has three hands. SM makes it very easy to just scroll, like and repost but this feels like a low bar test for objectivity and awareness. Stay sharp.

I can’t stress this enough, it’s really easy to get fooled and it doesn’t make you less smart for not spotting it, but it is possible to get better at spotting it the more you learn about what to look for.

Don’t feel stupid if you fell for fake video. It can be really hard to tell these days. But we do have to try and be careful with what we share because there’s so much AI video out there.

It’s just the world we live in now.
