Please, please, please do not get your political opinions from chatbots
New: AI chatbots can change voters' minds, according to a pair of in-depth studies published just now in Science and Nature.

How they do it is interesting — and concerning. Gift link: wapo.st/49RSstP
Voters’ minds are hard to change. AI chatbots are surprisingly good at it.
New research suggests AI chatbots can shift people’s political views more effectively than campaign ads on TV.

US forces have been so used to urban desert operations, when they even had to be there in person, for so long that going in to the jungle is going to be a fucking nightmare

We can’t afford NOT to do drugs
I guess it’s worth mentioning that the price of cocaine hasn’t changed since the 1970s. One might thing 50 years of law enforcement operations to reduce supply and all those PSAs targeted at reducing demand might impact the economics. But no. Considering inflation, drugs have only gotten cheeper.

The longer version starts with Christine Maggiore, who was diagnosed HIV+ in 1992.

In 1994, she encountered Peter Duesberg, UC Berkeley professor of virology who convinced her that HIV is a harmless passenger virus and AIDS is actually caused by party drugs or antiviral treatments.

When a gov’t agency finds fraud among poor people, those poor people go to jail. That they can’t point to those cases is reason enough to disbelieve them.

The goal of this sloganeering is to AVOID POLITICS. Democrats want to live in a fantasy world with no antagonisms and no villains, even while 10's of millions of their voters have taken to the streets this year to specifically name the villains they hate. Politics without conflict is not politics.

Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion.

It’s also extraordinarily expensive, costing nearly $1,000 for each pill, even though that pill costs just 25 cents to make.

The Price of Remission: This Cancer Drug Saves Lives — but Costs a Fortune. I Wanted to Know Why.
When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked ...

The most American thing trump has ever done
Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:

-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

Everyone in my feed is shitting on Nuzzi. Meanwhile, the other person in the saga is now destroying the medical community and endangering public health.

But let’s slut shame Nuzzi.

Indiana choosing not to redistrict is a direct win for the actual fighting a few democrats chose to do. Letting them know that they weren't going to be allowed to gerrymander in isolation was effective, and aspiring politicians should take note.
