🤣…Though #Trump appears to support #AI, that does not mean AI supports him….

To counter any inadvertent bias or systemic failures, we asked each of 5 leading AI models — #OpenAI’s #ChatGPT; #Anthropic’s #Claude; X/ #xAI’s #Grok; #Google’s #Gemini; & #Perplexity — to verify Trump’s most oft-repeated claims or assertions.…

AI discredited ALL the Trump claims we presented, fact-checking him with startling accuracy & objective rigor.

"Repeatedly accuse your opponents of doing something they are not doing, so that when you take power and actually do it, the worst you'll face is 'both sides do it' handwringing." It's a low, shitty, dishonest strategy, but it works, again and again and again.

the fact that the Internet Archive got into bigger trouble for lending books they paid for than Facebook did for reproducing books they pirated tells you everything you need to know about copyright.

With me having no data to back up this assertion: surely free public transport for under eighteens is largely a cost of living boost for families with children in private school — not for low income families. 🤔 #vicpol

Just as with the Morrison defeat in 2022, we’re again seeing the Liberal rank and file turn on a leadership who, until the defeat, were being spruiked as the best thing since sliced bread and the only safe future for Australia. Complete and utter rabble. #auspol

@Unixbigot @luciedigitalni So the saying as useless as a one legged man in an arse kicking competition, clearly only applies to men. Well done Ali.

The international immune system is activating. Democracy, flawed and fragile, is developing antibodies against a very specific kind of viral politics. The backlash is electoral, cultural, and institutional. And it is spreading.

“The question arises: if Dutton and his mates didn’t deliver all those miracles when they were in office for 10 years, why believe he has any intention of pulling that rabbit out of a hat now?”

Picture 1: Trump claims the US has provided 350 billion dollars worth of aid to Ukraine.

Picture 2: Trump’s own administration has forgotten to delete this page from January 20 this year, stating that the right number is 65.9 billion dollars.

— His own government reveals, that he is exaggerating by more than a factor of 5.

I am a huge believer in creating and supporting real content over the pipeline of slop.

But relying on these snake-oil tools to guess at the humanity of a writer and then punish them over the results is a dangerous path to go down.

The truth is - they don't fucking know. And neither do you.

Shared by @MintSpies this morning, I'm reposting as this is one of the more thoughtful pieces I have read about becoming (or staying) sane and healthy in an insane sick world. I'm bookmarking it so that I can go back to it as necessary. kristie-de-garis.ghost.io/to-b
