A tweet from Nate Silver in 2020 that reads: It's probably foolish to think a NYC mayor will successfully translate into being a national political figure, but I still think Eric Adams would be in my top 5 for "who will be the next Democratic presidential nominee after Joe Biden?".

The DuckDuckGo vote on AI is incredibly unscientific but it’s funny that it’s so lopsided.

Oh wow lol
A Reddit post that says “I asked ChatGPT to create the ideal society that I envision.” And the image is a bunch of people wearing gray walking down a gray street with gray walls, it looks very sterile and dreadful. And there are signs posted that say things like Control and Competence.

This seems very bad.
In fact, when prompted strategically by researchers, Claude delivered the near-complete text of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, The Great Gatsby, 1984, and Frankenstein, in addition to thousands of words from books including The Hunger Games and The Catcher in the Rye. Varying amounts of these books were also reproduced by the other three models. Thirteen books were tested.

Orwell, 1984
In a way, the worldview of the Party imposed itself most successfully on people incapable of understanding it. They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening. By lack of understanding they remained sane. They simply swallowed everything, and what they swallowed did them no harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain of corn will pass undigested through the body of a bird.
