…[Kashmir Hill]…reached out to #OpenAI, asking to discuss cases in which #ChatGPT was reinforcing #delusional thinking & aggravating users’ #MentalHealth & sent examples of conversations where ChatGPT had suggested off-kilter ideas & #dangerous activity. The company did not make anyone available to be interviewed but sent a statement:

"We've been mature"
#delusional

@Nonilex ….as if 45/47 has a “vision”

#Musk also dismissed #protests against #Tesla as being "paid for," & said that demand for the company's vehicles remains strong despite a sharp decline in sales.

#Tesla's quarterly earnings report, released about an hour before the call, showed that the company's net income plunged by 71% year-over-year & that revenue from selling cars dropped by 20%.

@DemocracyMattersALot you forgot #delusional

"He’s a psychopath gleefully breaking the world economy while pretending there will be some glorious payoff on the other side.

Is it any surprise? Trump never pretended otherwise. He did say on the campaign trail, 'I don’t care about you. I just want your vote.'

Trump’s superpower is that people believe his lies and don’t believe his truths."

"The two most powerful men in America have gone stark raving mad. ...

I don’t see how you can look at recent statements by Donald Trump and Elon Musk without concluding that both men have lost their grip on reality."

The #lawless rampage of the second #Trump Admin has already touched everything from rangers at America’s treasured national parks to the very pillars of the decades-old transatlantic #alliance.

But you wouldn’t have known it from hearing Trump wind his way through nearly a hundred minutes of mostly standard-issue Fox News culture-war talking points & alpha-male American exceptionalism.

There’s no doubt that #Trump, in just 6 weeks, has compiled a most unusual list of accomplishments to boast about—much of it a result of allowing the world’s richest man to take a chainsaw to the federal govt, cutting hundreds of thousands of federal jobs & unilaterally shutting down federal programs & contracts worth billions of dollars in defiance of #Congress.

But it was also familiar, #Trump’s by-now-standard mix of braggadocio & self-pity, partisan bile & patently absurd lies. It turns out that even the most #unhinged of Presidential speeches can seem kind of boring if it goes on long enough.

Six weeks & two days after returning to the Oval Office, Donald #Trump headed back to the Capitol, the site of his very recent swearing-in ceremony, to declare victory—again & again & again. Over Joe #Biden. Evil foreign gangs. #Canada. In his address to a joint session of #Congress on Tues night, Trump claimed that he had done more in his first wild weeks back in power, with his “swift & unrelenting action,” than any President ever, including George Washington.
