It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

If the President ordered you to weaponize finance against his political enemies, would you tell him ‘no’?

I thought at first that OpenAI was breaking its promise of objectivity. Then I realized it’s just redefining how objectivity functions — something that’s happened over and over. (Gift link!)
ChatGPT’s Self-Serving Optimism
OpenAI’s new guidelines ask its chatbot to celebrate ‘innovation,’ contradicting its stated goal of objectivity—and raising questions about what objectivity even means.

Gramps can stay on topic. It's like talking to an ALF resident.
Reporter: There's at least 20 House Republicans who have either said they're going to retire or not run again—
Trump: How many Democrats are going to retire?
Reporter: Are you concerned about the narrow margins—
Trump: No, I'm not concerned. We will have the greatest economy in history.

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.
