Last year I wrote about how strange it is that Apple rates Grok as appropriate for kids 12+ in the App Store. I checked this morning in the wake of Grok's CSAM/nudification scandals and can report that ... Apple now rates Grok as appropriate for kids 13+.

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

🚨 New preprint 🚨
Across 3 experiments (n = 3,285), we found that interacting with sycophantic (or overly agreeable) AI chatbots entrenched attitudes and led to inflated self-perceptions.
Yet, people preferred sycophantic chatbots and viewed them as unbiased!

This is a crime. The Supreme Court has foolishly decided that Trump can commit crimes with impunity, but that is NOT true of anyone who works for him. Stephen Miller, Hegseth, Noem and anyone else who declares war on the US and our Constitution must not be let off the hook. Two years in prison

Portland is not "war ravaged." This is delusional and dangerous.
Sending troops into American cities doesn't make our communities safer — it just stokes fear and stirs up chaos.
Trump is plunging further into authoritarianism every single day.
