It’s only as intelligent as the people that control and regulate it.

Given all the documented instances of Facebook and other social media using subliminal emotional manipulation, I honestly wonder if the recent cases of AI chat induced psychosis are related to something similar.

Like we know they’re meant to get you to continue using them, which is itself a bit of psychological manipulation. How far does it go? Could there also be things like using subliminal messaging/lighting? This stuff is all so new and poorly understood, but that usually doesn’t stop these sacks of shit from moving full speed with implementing this kind of thing.

It could be that certain individuals have unknown vulnerabilities that make them more susceptible to psychosis due to whatever manipulations are used to make people keep using the product. Maybe they’re doing some things to users that are harmful, but didn’t seem problematic during testing?

Or equally as likely, they never even bothered to test it out, just started subliminally fucking with people’s brains, and now people are going haywire because a bunch of unethical shit heads believe they are the chosen elite who know what must be done to ensure society is able to achieve greatness. It just so happens that “what must be done,” also makes them a ton of money and harms people using their products.

It’s so fucking absurd to watch the same people jamming unregulated AI and automation down our throats while simultaneously forcing traditionalism, and a legal system inspired by Catholic integralist belief on society.

If you criticize the lack of regulations in the wild west of technology policy, or even suggest just using a little bit of fucking caution, then you’re trying to hold back progress.

However, all non-tech related policy should be based on ancient traditions and biblical text with arbitrary rules and restrictions that only make sense and benefit the people enforcing the law.

What a stupid and convoluted way to express you just don’t like evidence based policy or using critical thinking skills, and instead prefer to just navigate life by relying on the basic signals from your lizard brain. Feels good so keep moving towards, feels bad so run away, or feels scary so attack!

Such is the reality of the chosen elite, steering us towards greatness.

What’s really “funny” (in a we’re all doomed sort of way) is that while writing this all out, I realized the “chosen elite” controlling tech and policy actually perfectly embody the current problem with AI and bias.

Rather than relying on intelligence to analyze a situation in the present, and create the best and most appropriate response based on the information and evidence before them, they default to a set of pre-concieved rules written thousands of years ago with zero context to the current reality/environment and the problem at hand.

Just a reminder that Louisiana is the 2nd most dependent state on Medicaid.

Every major hospital system is warning the House Speaker this will cause catastrophic harm to people in his own state.

Meanwhile, even the Cato Institute has pointed out Republicans are literally just burning absurd amounts of money on Deportations.

Deportations to Add Almost $1 Trillion in Costs to the “Big Beautiful Bill”

Really curious to hear how Americans are being helped by anything the Republican party is doing right now?

It’s absolutely disgusting.

It’s infuriating. It’s offensive. And I promise you it won’t just be history that will negatively judge these people for these despicable actions. There’s a place waiting for them.

Not just the gangs of masked strangers, with their own families, who know exactly what they’re doing, yet to continue to carry out the work of the devil and make it all possible. But also, the ones that won’t get their hands dirty. The ones that pull the strings from the shadows, as well as the ones we see on TV handing down these orders, are at the core of this evil.

Stephen Miller owns stock in ICE contractor Palantir — a company powering deportations

The watchdog group that obtained Miller’s filing identified 11 other administration officials who either currently hold or have owned stock in Palantir, though none with holdings as large as Miller.

Jesus doesn’t hate, not even these people. If he were here though, I have no doubt he would be the first one to start flipping tables.

I think we’re probably in agreement, I went into more detail in my comment, but in summary:

It is difficult for me to comprehend how anyone could disentangle the documented word of Jesus in a sacred text from anything considered to be a “true” or “real” gospel.

Not sure if people here are just going by the headline, but the point of this article is that the social aspects of the gospel can’t be ignored or disentangled to fit a narrative like “empathy is a disease” bc the “real” gospel isn’t concerned with the social. Whoever decided there was a “real” gospel, it definitely wasn’t Jesus, but people sure like to use his name to spread their message.

Was reading an article about Paul Weyrich earlier, and this quote from a memo he wrote really stuck out to me:

The social gospel tells us to change man’s environment and that will change the world. The real gospel tells us to reform man first, so that a reformed man can change the world.

I grew up in the Bible belt, and from as early as I can remember, Jesus was everywhere and everything. There was never any question about it.

The sermons I heard always focused on The gospel. I actually never knew until very recently some people believe in a “real” gospel that isn’t concerned with a “social” gospel. When people talked about spreading the gospel, it just meant spreading the “good word.”

There are many different messages in the Bible to focus on and spread to others, but to me personally, thinking back over everything I was taught as a Christian, I feel the word of Christ should hold more weight than any other message in the Bible. I don’t mean this as a judgment against others, but simply to share my perspective and belief.

It is difficult for me to comprehend how anyone could disentangle the documented word of Jesus in a sacred text from anything considered to be a “true” or “real” gospel.

This is why I believe the context and message of Matthew 22:36-40 is unquestionably (to me) fundamental to Christianity.

When Jesus is passing through a city, a man asks him, what is the most important message to remember above all others in the old testament. Jesus sums the 10 commandments into 2.

1. Love thy God with all thy heart, soul and mind.

The second is like unto it.

2. Love thy neighbor as thyself.

The first is something that (as far as I am aware) most Christians seem to be in complete agreement on. Love God with everything you are.

The second part, especially lately, seems to be up for debate to some people.

When I really think about what this means, I feel like it’s crucial to include and really consider the phrase “like unto it.”

This message from Jesus says, if you take away nothing else from the Bible remember these two things.

If you truly love God and believe he is the creator of all things, then you must strive to show that love through everything you are (heart, soul, and mind).

The second is like unto it (it goes without saying)

If you believe you are part of God’s creation, and you love him with everything you are, then you must have love for yourself. You must also strive to have that same love for your neighbor because you respect and recognize he is also part of God’s creation.

Just my 2¢ and what’s really stuck with me for my entire life above everything else I heard.

The headline is that Stephen Miller of the Trump administration, owns stock in Palantir. Miller is not Peter Thiel. Miller is the angry bald guy that is always dramatically screaming we should be more aggressive with deportation policy.

Because he, and 10 others in the administration, own stock in the company that also receives millions in federal contracts regarding immigration and deportation, one might suggest Miller has a vested interest in the policies he is always aggressively screaming about being necessary for America’s safety.

Considering that even the conservative Cato institute has said the deportation policies outlined in the big beautiful bill, will ultimately cost tax payers trillions of dollars to fund, one might suggest that the policies Miller and others in the administration have put forth, are actually driven by greed rather than any ideology or belief that what they are doing is in America’s best interest.

The blurb mentioning Thiel’s company is to provide context to the reader about how much money his company has already made under this administration.

Given that Thiel and the entire administration do all seem to be in agreement that democracy should be dismantled in order for a ruling class of chosen elite to take it’s place, one might begin to wonder, if that is really a good idea. It would seem then, that it is as newsworthy as anything else documenting more blatant corruption and scamming of America by the chosen elite who are leading this administration, and hoping to convince everyone what they’re doing is in America’s best interest.

The investment, held in one of Miller’s children’s brokerage accounts, raises conflict of interest red flags as the tech company continues to play a substantial role in the work of U.S. immigration officials.

Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin called the group’s report “very silly”

… This is the same official spokesperson that downplayed concerns about Trump trying to shut down the office of Civil Rights and Liberties, and then like a month later defended DHS and the Pentagon hooking federal employees up to a lie detector test to find leaks

The watchdog group that obtained Miller’s filing identified 11 other administration officials who either currently hold or have owned stock in Palantir, though none with holdings as large as Miller.

Guess he has a vested interest in acting like a hateful psychopath, and gleefully breaking apart families. It’s good for business.
