In his research, social psychologist Luke Nicholls tested five AI models with simulated conversations developed by psychologists, and found Grok was the most likely to lead to delusion. It was more unrestrained than other models and often elaborated on the delusions without trying to protect the user. "Grok is more prone to jumping into role play," says Nicholls, who worked on that research. "It will do it with zero context. It can say terrifying things in the first message." In the test, the latest version of ChatGPT, model 5.2, and Claude were more likely to lead the user away from delusional thinking.
Brett McGurk, a former senior US security official and reluctantly supportive of the conflict, conceded on social media that the ceasefire agreement Trump has signed is not “status quo ante bellum” ie the US is now worse off than at the start of this war of choice. To spell it out, Trump needlessly started a war at the urging of Israel, refused to listen to those experts urging caution, devised a strategy built on a misapprehension of Iran, sparked a ruinous regional conflict, caused the death of thousands of civilians, unhinged the world economy, strengthened, for now, the repressive instincts of the Iranian and Russian governments, left America more discredited and isolated, provoked serious questions about the president’s fitness for public office, laid waste to large parts of Iran and Lebanon, including medical research centres, primary schools and universities, did not resolve Iran’s stockpiles of highly enriched uranium or its future nuclear programme, strengthened those in Iran backing possession of a nuclear weapon, and, yes, ensured Iran and Oman still plan to control and toll the strait of Hormuz for the first time.

Donald Trump is wearing a medal he got for being a massively shiffty shitbag and is stood to next a god awful trophy.

The top half of the image is a watery clear blue sky with faint orange sunset against a thin silhouette of shore, and trees. The silhouette shops the image in two. The bottoms half of the image is in 2 contrasting parts; directly below the silhouette is frozen water reflecting the colours of the sky. However the bottom left corner shows waves moving at a perpendicular angle to the line of ice. It's a still, peaceful and calm image.
