DeepSight:Biden gave the backing to Zelensky about joining NATO..When the Russians massed up Zelensky was assured by EU they would support him.,knowing very well that America was to bear the largest cost of the war as NATO. If Biden had a sane head the war would never have begun in the first case. J6 ,I have posted articles enough times .Tell me why Pelosi denied 10000 National Guardsmen, why Cris Wray lied about 274: Federal agents among the crowds, why fbi had been recruiting informers embedded within Proud Boys long before January 6. Why the didn't preemptively stop the "insurrection." Why Supreme Court dismissed a particular charge slapped on the protesters . Why the guys with megaphones urging crowds to go in were never apprehended,why they stopped looking for the pipe bomber Why not a single person was charged with insurrection.. I can go on. It was a setup simple. Obama criminal syndicate. Read a post I made earlier today about what he knew, ,he was the brains behind Russia hoax which was a coverup for his spying on a presidential candidate. Obama is just a criminal president lucky to walk away because he is half white. You cannot refute any of the above |

For those of you too dumb to believe everything a chatbot tells you. @thesupermanmx MIT mathematically proved that ChatGPT is designed to make you delusional. They call it "delusional spiraling." AI models are trained to be helpful and polite. That means they are inherently sycophantic. They are structurally programmed to validate you. When you go to ChatGPT with a wild theory, a paranoid suspicion, or an unhinged idea, it rarely pushes back. It agrees with you. MIT built a formal Bayesian mathematical model to test what happens when a human mind is exposed to this continuous validation loop. The results are deeply unsettling. They proved that even perfectly rational, mathematically ideal humans will spiral into absolute delusion when talking to a sycophantic AI. The AI acts as a reality-distortion field. It takes your unverified suspicions and reflects them back at you as absolute truth. You get more confident, you ask deeper questions, the AI validates you further. The spiral tightens. But here is the most terrifying part of the paper. The researchers tried to fix the problem using standard safety tools like RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation). They forced the AI to be 100% factual. No hallucinations allowed. It did not stop the psychosis. Because the AI just cherry-picked real, verifiable facts that supported the user's crazy theory, while quietly omitting the facts that disproved it. A factual sycophant is just as dangerous as a lying one. Then they tried warning the users. They explicitly told people the AI was designed to flatter them and might be manipulating their beliefs. That didn't work either. The delusion still took over.

I had to talk to Seun today to find a way to make nairaland a land of free speech again and i think he is working on it. Engagements on this site is bleeding and it's losing its best minds. |

basilico:continue to make a joke of yourself by trying to defend Trump's nonsense war in Iran. So mayors now declare wars? Not the leaders of a country. A single mayor? cc Lordreed, Bayelsaowei, cococandy, deepsight |

basilico:And who has been the aggressor? 1. First and foremost, the US and UK destroyed Iranian democracy and installed the Shah - The 1953 coup d'état in Iran—codenamed Operation Ajax by the U.S. CIA and Operation Boot by the British MI6—overthrew the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh and consolidated absolute power under Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. It stands as a watershed event in Middle Eastern history, marking the United States' first peacetime covert operation to overthrow a foreign government. 2. The US again supported Saddam Hussein in his mad invasion of Iran which led to a bloody war in which some 750, 000 Iranians died. This is a totally unprovoked war, they supported Iraq to attack because they were not happy the Shah was deposed. These are just two major facts. In light of these alone. Who is the aggressor? |
| Re: American Politics Thread: 2026 Midterm Elections Live! by basilico: 9:37am On Aug 24 |
DeepSight:Bending so low to support Iran. The aggressor may as well be traced to the one who created human beings in the first case That's your reasoning. You know better from west Africa than a senior Iranian figure? |
| Re: American Politics Thread: 2026 Midterm Elections Live! by DeepSight(m): 9:55am On Aug 24 |
basilico:This doesnt even start to address the point, neither did the Mayor say they started the belligerence. You once claimed to be logical - why are you pretending you didnt see the points about the 1950s coup plotted by the CIA and MI6 and the point about the Iraq war sponsored by the US? |

DeepSight:We've been saying for months Iran has been at war since 1979 with America. I've provided a figure of 1500 or so Americans killed by Iran through its proxies. You people say no,it's a new war stated by the evil Trump. I produced irrefutable evidence Iran mayor saying exactly that. Iran has been on an uninterrupted war for 47 years. You shift to CIA 1953 actions which wasn't the issue denying the war is 47 years by implication. Boris Johnson was asked in Parliament whether he had broken any covid lockdown protocols. He said no,all protocols had been followed. 5 months later photos of him raising a wine glass in nfront of a table full of alcoholic beverages were published. He claimed he genuinely did not comprehend that a gathering with alcohol, snacks, and socializing constituted a social event. Later claimed he was repeating what his subordinates had told him. Your 1953 CIA is a red herring. You are shifting definitions and changing subject. One historical fact does not erase another. A lawyer should know that. |

Hi basilico:What nonsense is this. You say they have been at war for 47 years. Okay. The question is who started it. And I have shown you the aggressor. Period. It's nauseating speaking with you. Sometimes it's like speaking to a five year old and other times it's like speaking to a patient in an asylum. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: 2026 Midterm Elections Live! by basilico: 11:42am On Aug 24 |
How many countries have had their government overthrown by the west and they never chant death to the west every day. What a lousy education you received. The issue is a claim the war is 47 years old. A historical fact cannot erase another I repeat. Is it me saying Trump started a new war? DeepSight: |
| Re: American Politics Thread: 2026 Midterm Elections Live! by DeepSight(m): 12:03pm On Aug 24 |
No basilico:Stop being daft. A war is 1000 years old, so what. Who started it? ? ? ? This has nothing to do with Trump. No, you cannot sweep under the carpet the overthrow of a democratic government replaced by a puppet of the West. That is deep. That is seizing control of a country. And you still ignore what they did through Saddam. Is 750,000 lives a joke? |
| Re: American Politics Thread: 2026 Midterm Elections Live! by basilico: 12:19pm On Aug 24 |
DeepSight:Trunp is doing what US presidents failed to do. Get rid of the Ayatollahs. Preventing those suicidal maniacs from getting the nuclear bomb. The Taliban are not killing Americans infact they still get aid . Syria run by ex Al Qaeda is not planning hostilities for now. Iraq got pacified after being invaded by America. Your excuses for Iran are pathetic. It's because you hate Trunp.Had it been Biden bombing the crap out of Iran you'd be rejoicing . You have no idea what Iranian people want,.Go to X and see what majority of them desire. Your smugness about the root cause smacks of ignorance . Your friends grieve about 100 school girls accidentally killed ignoring the over 30,000 ( it could be a 200! So what) killed by those fanatics this year,more are being hanged every day . Don't even know where we are going with this. Iranians say 47 years of current hostilities, Actually you are blaming American for the war. You are exonerating the Iranians. You stand with the murderous cruel ruling regime excusing their behavior. I stand for the Iranian people. |

DeepSight:You see that bold? I'm labelling a lie! Same as I'm labelling bayelsaowei's "trying" not to read what it writes. It is my belief that if you were nauseated speaking with it you just wouldn't speak with it, and you, bayelsaowei, really should try harder. |

| Re: American Politics Thread: 2026 Midterm Elections Live! by basilico: 2:22pm On Aug 24 |
DeepSight:Simply say you failed to convince me that the belligerent Iranians are the victims. .That Americans are the aggressors. That the regime can orchestrate murder and mayhem for 47 years because of an act that happened in 1953. Good day sir. |

basilico:The challenge is how to solve the problem or isn't there a problem? Are there not people being trampled upon? It could have been you. Then Iran isn't the issue because if Iran didn't exist, it could have been China, India, Pakistan, Russia or North Korea etc that the Palestinians would run to or do you think everybody will abandon them? |

| Re: American Politics Thread: 2026 Midterm Elections Live! by basilico: 2:30pm On Aug 24 |
lawani:Yes Iranians are being trampled upon. 60,000-120,000 civilians estimated to have been elxecuted by the Ayatollahs since 1979. That's where the problem is. Maybe if the Ayatollahs could execute one million more, a few people here would recognize their evil . Or maybe another 2 -3 million. Or 5 million. Iran has over 90 million people so 100K dondar is just a small deny. What's a good figure to you that would prove the Ayatollahs are evil people. |
