one of the Christian influencers I follow on instagram posted a video about how she worries people are using Chat GPT like it is god and someone left this comment and it has been stuck in my mind ever since
anyway if you are interested in Christian uses of AI, feel free to listen to my fictional christian influencer podcast: katiemcvay.com/redeemed-not-refined
"This is the kind of stuff that only makes Will Stancil more powerful. If you want to defeat him in a poster’s war, which is akin to trying to invade Russia in the winter, use ALICE’s figures, not this hysteric number.” lmaoooo

The True Poverty Line Is not $140,000, But It’s Still Shockingly High
A semi-viral post claiming the poverty line is $140,000 may be BS, but the precariousness Americans feel in everyday life is very real.

The time for the US to have had it in it to put a former president in jail for having a coup was before he got on the ballot for the next election! We are not Brazil, there's a lot upholding Trump, including the opposition party to him.

Just a reminder that we could be living in an America in which Trump and his fellow conspirators are spending the rest of their lives in prison if we had serious politicians and a system that wasn’t hellbent on and designed toward self-destruction.

"The agency also announced plans to relax a rule requiring companies to report all products containing PFAS and has proposed weakening drinking water standards for the chemicals."
The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of PFAS — also known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

After Biden commuted the sentences of 37 men on federal death row last year, the Trump administration is retaliating by sending them to the supermax. Prisoners are locked in cells smaller than a parking space 22-24 hours a day.
One prisoner told me he fears he won't make it out alive.

It’s blowing my mind that schools, universities, public services would run headlong into this. We spent 15 years documenting black boxes. This is a black box in a black hole!
I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.
