The voice of the Father will be heard...

The voice of the Father will be heard as He sets before us a widely opened door and receives us into blessed fellowship with Himself. When we pray for the Spirit's help, it will no longer be in the fear that prayer is too great an effort for us. Instead, we will simply fall down at the Lord's feet in our weakness. There we will find the victory and power that comes from His love. -Andrew Murray Image

Mamdani Proclaims Islam’s Conquest Of NYC To The World Less Than 25 Years After 9/11 In a totally predictable development, NYC’s Islamunist Mayor Zohran Mamdani is using the city government to ram the Religion of Peace down Americans’ throats and telegraph propaganda to the world that the Big Apple has now been conquered by Islamists, less than 25 years after the horror of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Image

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani Hosts Islamic Radicals New York’s smiling Muslim Mayor is using the city government to display official support for Islam and its aggressive activists, including Mahmoud Khalil, a foreigner who has backed Islam’s jihad attacks against Israel.

We the People Never Voted for Mass Islamic Immigration   And make no mistake: Islamic immigration and the insidious Islamization of American society, more generally, is happening. We do not merely know that from the myriad anecdotal stories about the adhan (call to prayer) being blasted from minarets at obnoxiously early times in cities like Minneapolis and Brooklyn.

Muslim Drug Gangs Bombed U.S. Embassy in Norway  What that means is that Muslim mass migration has led to the creation of Muslim heavily armed gangs that operate under orders from enemy states.
   This makes Iran a threat entirely apart from its nuclear or missile programs. And by allowing mass migration, European nations enabled the threat.

That’s why more people get arrested in Britain than in Russia for having opinions.  It’s also why Mohamed is the most popular name in the country.  And when Pakis started raping thousands of little girls, it’s the reason police swept the accusations under the rug.  Simply put, Brits wanted to defend everything but Britishness — and that’s why the United Arab Emirates won’t send any students to college in England.  The UAE took one look at the radical Islamists in Oxford and decided that Oxford was too much like Mohamed to let the Islamic students back into Arabia.

Democrats Block DHS Funding Despite Airport Delays, Rising Iranian Threat Despite Democrat claims that Senate Republicans are the cause of the funding lapse, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) noted that his caucus has repeatedly attempted to fund the agency temporarily through short-term continuing resolutions, which Democrats blocked. Concerningly, the deadlock has left DHS unfunded, impacting agencies such as TSA, where security agents are working without pay.

Democrats Head Into Elections Pushing $1.5 Trillion Tax Increase  The Democratic Party is heading into the 2026 midterm elections and 2028 presidential elections pushing legislation that would increase federal income tax rates to levels not seen since before Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Zohran Mamdani were even born.
   The politicians are billing some of the legislation as a tax "cut" on the basis of promises to redistribute the revenue from their tax increases. Some of the press is even falling for that spin.

NY’s $124B Medicaid spending is blatantly full of waste and fraud  New York’s gargantuan health program is far too fat not to be a prime target for scammers: The state provides free health coverage to well over a third of its population (the national average is closer to a fifth), and powerful special interests — unions as well as the hospital industry and “social service”-based political machines — scream at the mere suggestion that a dime of it is wasted or stolen.
   Hochul will mention “bad actors in the Medicaid program,” but her actions to identify and prevent fraud are pretty murky

There is now one white collar job that AI can do as well or in some ways (certainly in terms of speed) better than a human, and that's coding. We should start seeing the acceleration that comes from that as the year progresses.

While the epic losses won't all come at once, Honda says it expects to lose between $2 billion and $3.5 billion in the current fiscal year, ending this month. According to Financial Times, that's Honda’s first-ever annual recorded loss since going public 50 years ago.

Glory in His holy name!

Glory in his holy name;
    let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
Seek the Lord and his strength;
seek his presence continually!
-Psalm 105:3-4

O Lord our God, grant us grace to desire Thee with our whole heart; that, so desiring, we may seek, and seeking find Thee; and so finding Thee may love Thee; and loving Thee, may hate those sins from which Thou hast redeemed us.   -Anselm

FBI Warns Iran Plotting Drone Strike on California  “We recently acquired information that as of early February 2026, Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United States Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the U.S. conducted strikes against Iran.” – FBI alert Image

Dems Might Be Overplaying Their Hand on DHS Shutdown for the Most Obvious Reason   We experienced an ISIS-inspired terror incident in New York City, where jihadists threw an IED outside Gracie Mansion. There was a terror attack in Austin, Texas, where three people were shot and killed, and at least 12 others were wounded. Terror sleeper cells have likely been activated in response to Operation Epic Fury in Iran. We face an increased threat of terrorist retaliation, and the DHS is not fully operational. Additionally, we have experienced natural disasters. There are no good Democrat talking points left to defend this anymore.

“Since our December 2020 estimate, the illegal alien population in the United States has grown by 4.1 million, or 28.2 percent, reflecting an unprecedented wave of illegal immigration during the Biden administration,” the group reported on Wednesday.

You just might be a Democrat — The list of Democrat absurdities is growing long (Vol. 5)  *If you believe that most workers should be paid more … and also believe that many things should be free, you just might be a Democrat.
*If you think that women are oppressed in America … and are also strongly against the deportation of convicted illegal alien rapists and Muslim men as well as President Trump's mission to liberate Iran, you just might be a Democrat. (Or a RINO.)

First Grader’s ‘Any Life’ Message Sparks Major First Amendment Ruling The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of an elementary school student’s First Amendment rights after she was punished for adding the words “any life” to a picture of “Black Lives Matter.”
   The student, with the initials B.B., said she added the message while in first grade in 2021, inspired by a lesson on Martin Luther King Jr. She shared the drawing with a friend.
   The school principal told her the drawing was inappropriate and punished her, according to the Pacific Legal Foundation, which represented the family in the case. The principal forced her to apologize, banned her from giving drawings to classmates, and excluded her from recess for two weeks. Image

It's not just California and New York. All across the nation, blue states are committing political and economic suicide by targeting millionaires with high taxes. Who will suffer most from this misguided, ideologically driven push to punish the wealthy? Wage workers and the poor.

Yamaha, Exxon's blue-state exits only the latest in money and business fleeing to MAGA states   Businesses leaving California in recent years often cite the state's high taxes, burdensome regulations and elevated cost of doing business as key factors driving the decisions. California's corporate income tax rate stands at 8.84%, among the highest in the nation, while its top personal income tax rate of 13.3% affects executives and employees.

Whatever Happened to Confidentiality?  A government that can peer into your medical file, your legal records, your spiritual life, and your finances without resistance is not a guardian of rights but rather an overlord.
------------------------------------

Potomac Disaster Demonstrates Environmental Hypocrisy  How does the wealthiest nation on Earth allow a major river to become a septic system? At least in part, by having modern environmentalism hijacked by a climate industrial complex that obsessively demonizes carbon dioxide, a colorless, odorless gas essential for life. While the likes of Governor Moore direct billions to so-called green programs to address a fabricated climate crisis, a 60-year-old line—six feet in diameter—is allowed to deteriorate to the point of releasing toxins that are an immediate threat to wildlife and a hazard to people.

"Progressives" at teachers' colleges pushed a reading technique called "Balanced Literacy."  
Instead of memorizing sounds and letters, teachers push what they call "cueing," guessing words based on their context, or pictures.
Balanced Literacy downplays "structured phonics," the older technique where kids memorize letters' sounds and learn to sound out words.
Balanced Literacy does sound more fun than boring phonics drills. Progressives said it would make kids want to read.
It mostly didn't.

With rev'rence let the saints appear...

With rev'rence let the saints appear,
And bow before the Lord;
His high commands with rev'rence hear,
And tremble at his word.
 
How terrible thy glories be!
How bright thine armies shine!
Where is the power that vies with thee,
Or truth compared to thine?
 
Thy words the raging winds control,
And rule the boist'rous deep;
Thou mak'st the sleeping billows roll,
The rolling billows sleep.
 
Justice and judgment are thy throne,
Yet wondrous is thy grace;
While truth and mercy, joined in one,
Invite us near thy face.
-Isaac Watts

IEA Member countries to carry out largest ever oil stock release amid market disruptions from Middle East conflict  The decision to take emergency collective action was made following an extraordinary meeting of IEA Member governments yesterday, convened by the IEA Executive Director to assess market conditions amid the conflict in the Middle East and consider the options to address supply disruptions.

-----------------------------------

The only “activists” in this whole sordid mess are the members of the press, twisting and torturing the facts to force a desired outcome.  This isn’t just mere bias.  It’s active and malicious framing of indisputable facts to elicit a response, make the reader or viewer draw a conclusion:  that the real evil in this world is the “far-right” and the real victims in this world are the Muslims, like Mayor Zohran Mamdani.  It is written as though the writer cannot conceive of the world any other way.
  And here’s something to contemplate:  It is to weep that this mayor — of all mayors — will oversee ceremonies this coming September 11th, twenty-five years after that terrible day.  We can only imagine what he’ll say.  What he won’t say.  What he will imply.  And how this garbage media will buttress, reinforce, and amplify him.  We should steel ourselves for it, knowing it’s coming.

‘Death to America’ chants echo across campuses due to Iranian influence and radical professors  Students are marching in support of Iran, chanting anti-American slogans, and celebrating violence against the United States. This disturbing trend is fueled by radical campus activism and the ideological environment inside America’s universities.

Texas Church Conquered: Converted to Radical Dawah Seminary by Banned Imams Pushing Sharia Conquest  In the heart of Texas, another Christian sanctuary has been surrendered. The Korean World Mission Baptist Church, a place once dedicated to worshiping Jesus Christ, has been purchased by Salahuddin Future Academy (SAFA). The 40,000-square-foot property is being transformed into a multi-purpose Islamic stronghold: home to Masjid Dar Al-Tawhid (part of the Dallas Muslim Community Center), the full K-12 Salahuddin Future Academy, and the flagship AIM Dawah Academy & Seminary led by none other than radical Shaykh Uthman Ibn Farooq and tied to Imam Karim AbuZaid.

In short, Talarico comes off as an Elmer Gantry on political steroids, using scripture for the sake of a leftist creed that also includes DEI, abortions for transgenders, a “welcome mat” on the border, white skin racism, and green hysteria. Indeed, he felt so confident about his Marxist-inspired version of reality that he used a middle school teaching position to indoctrinate young students on the dangers of climate change. In his own words he “freaked them out” with the same existential fears long stoked by AOC. So not only does Talarico support surgeons who mutilate young bodies, he’s also eager to manipulate their minds and emotions. Would that Talarico were as respectful of their humanity (and of biblical texts) as he is of the wildly differing attempts to grasp the cosmic mystery he glibly embraces for political effect.

The Bank of England plans to replace historical figures including wartime Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill on banknotes with pictures of animals.

UK:Children’s drawings could be blasphemous under Islamic law, councils say  Guidance issued to teachers by Labour councils in northern England warns that images made by pupils in art lessons may be seen as “idolatrous” under sharia.
   The advice, designed to help teachers adapt to religious sensitivities, also warns that music and dance classes could be contrary to the teachings of Islam.

Organizations and ministries that engage heavily in Persian outreach report that the Gospel has taken root in Iran, and underground church networks are growing. Iranian officials recently reported that 50,000 of the country’s 75,000 mosques have closed, and there are reports that over a million former Muslims in Iran have come to faith in Jesus in the 21st century. Across the Muslim world, this amounts to heresy and carries severe repercussions.

"Because I go to the Father..."

“It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.”  -John 16:7–11

David French Suffers An Apparent Brain Injury Over James Talarico  James Talarico’s fake tent show preacher act has been a joke since the moment he began it, and every living animal with a central nervous system is aware of this...

Democrats Can’t Win Elections without Fraud... Every illegal vote cancels an American citizen’s vote. And the left loves it   It’s just crazy how difficult it has been to get Congress to care about secure, legitimate elections in the United States.  For the record, elections in America are conducive to mass fraud.  Although Democrats and Establishment Republicans say stupid and fundamentally dishonest things, such as “America’s elections have never been more secure,” American citizens know they are lying.

Abdinajib Hassan Yussuf and his partners approached Minnesota parents of Somali descent to "recruit" their children to the center and qualify them for autism services — even if they were not autistic.

Dark days loom for New Yorkers as climate law promises blackouts, cost hikes  The law has saddled the state with three related but distinct problems: threats to the grid’s reliability, rising electric bills, and a looming surge in fuel prices.
  The most ominous — and least visible — is the growing risk that New York City might have difficulty keeping the lights on as soon as June. Last summer’s heat wave, when temperatures reached 100 degrees in some neighborhoods, put the electric grid under extreme stress.

For elementary and high school students, using pencils, pens, and paper for note-taking, writing, and mathematics offers several well-supported advantages over electronic devices. These benefits are grounded in cognitive neuroscience, educational research, and practical classroom experience.
Handwriting activates a broader network of brain regions -- including those involved in movement, vision, sensory processing, and memory -- compared to typing. When students write by hand, their brains show more elaborate connectivity and synchronized activity, which supports deeper learning and better retention. Typing produces far less of this neural engagement. Because children’s and adolescents’ brains are still developing, this difference matters.

The First Hymn | March 24 & 26

A Powerful Piece of Ancient Christian History Arrives in Theaters Soon THE FIRST HYMN, a powerful documentary about how an ancient manuscript brought a historic Christian song back to life, will arrive in theaters later this month.
   “THE FIRST HYMN is the story of an ancient scrap of papyrus uncovered in the deserts of Egypt that contains the remnants of the oldest known Christian hymn,” a press release reads. “In its lyrics, Professor John Dickson discovers evidence of beliefs that some say Christians never held this early in history. However, uncovering this ancient treasure is only the first step.”
   The release continues, “With the help of world-renowned Christian composers, Chris Tomlin and Ben Fielding, Professor Dickson sets out on an epic journey to record the First Hymn as a modern worship song for the new millennium.” See below
Let all be silent: The shining stars not sound forth, All rushing rivers stilled, As we sing our hymn To the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, As all Powers cry out in answer, “Amen, Amen.” Might, praise, and glory forever to our God. The only Giver of all good gifts. Amen. Amen
 
 Chris Tomlin, Ben Fielding - The First Hymn

Let all be silent
The shining stars not sound
Rushing rivers still
Let the mountains bow down
In awe and wonder
In reverence we come
Who is worthy of all worship?
Who is seated on the throne?
 
All powers cry out in answer 
All glory and praise forever
To our God
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit
Amen, we sing, amen
 
To the only Giver of all good gifts
Amen
To the only One who forgives our sins
Amen
To the only God to the Risen King
To the One who died and rose again
Amen
We sing amen

Oh come, let us sing to the Lord...

Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;
    let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
    let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
For the Lord is a great God,
    and a great King above all gods.
In his hand are the depths of the earth;
    the heights of the mountains are his also.
The sea is his, for he made it,
    and his hands formed the dry land.

   Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
    let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!
For he is our God,
    and we are the people of his pasture,
    and the sheep of his hand.
          -Psalm 95:1-7

Jesse Jackson’s son blasts Obama, Biden for using father’s memorial to take shots at Trump Rev. Jesse Jackson’s son ripped former Presidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton for using the late civil rights icon’s memorial service to take shots at President Trump.
   Jesse Jackson Jr. said the grandstanding Democrats didn’t really know his father, after they used their eulogies to bash the president, his policies, and his vision for America during Friday’s star-studded send-off. 
   “Yesterday, I listened for several hours to three United States presidents who do not know Jesse Jackson,” the grieving son said Saturday during a private memorial service at Rainbow Push Coalition headquarters in Chicago.

New Info on Mamdani's Wife's Pro-Hamas Social Media History Prompts National Security Concerns “Because of his wife’s support of terrorism, @NYCMayor @ZohranKMamdani cannot receive a federal security clearance. He’s a national-security threat. We can’t trust him to work with U.S. intelligence agencies to protect NYC.”

Why Islam Seeks Shelter Under The Banner Of The Left  The Muslims who organize under leftist banners are not ideological flotsam. They possess a coherent teaching about God, law, politics, and history. They regard the West as an enemy to be humbled and subjugated. They deploy, with intelligence, the left’s language of oppression, decolonization, and racism because it is effective. It radically disarms us and recruits allies already schooled in hatred of their own civilization.

America and Public Disorder...Our biggest social flaw should be addressed  You can learn more about the U.S. by traveling overseas and comparing, and five years of that has taught me we accept far too much public disorder.
   We are the world’s richest country, and yet our buses, parking lots, and city streets are filthy, chaotic, and threatening. Antisocial and abnormal behavior, open addiction, and mentally tortured people are common in almost every community regardless of size.

There are only two options:
1. Black out half the state on a constant basis while sending prices soaring so high it may as well be the dark ages
2. Use the ‘carbon credit’ scam to buy wind or solar credits from other states. But this is not getting 70% of New York’s power from wind and solar. It’s paying other people somewhere else to do it and then buying their credits while continuing to use actual energy sources. And then raising prices on consumers to finance this rip-off to special interests.
   Or there’s always option 3. which is modify the law and move the deadline. Something Dems want to do because they figure that raising prices this much might make them almost unpopular enough to lose an election.

I will bless the Lord at all times...

I will bless the Lord at all times;
    his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
    let the humble hear and be glad.
Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
    and let us exalt his name together!

I sought the Lord, and he answered me
    and delivered me from all my fears.
Those who look to him are radiant,
    and their faces shall never be ashamed.
This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him
    and saved him out of all his troubles.
The angel of the Lord encamps
    around those who fear him, and delivers them.

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!
    Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!

THIRD Nuclear-Powered Carrier Strike Group Prepares to DEPLOY to Crush Iranian Terror Regime (VIDEO)  The Trump administration is deploying a THIRD U.S. Navy aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East, ramping up the pressure on Iran’s terrorist regime amid its pathetic attempts at retaliation.
   This comes as Iranian missile and drone strikes have been decimated by superior American and allied defenses, dropping a staggering 90% and 83% respectively since the war kicked off, according to CENTCOM, per the Times of Israel.

CAIR's Ramadan Workplace Jihad: Demanding Sharia Submission While Building a 50,000  Strong Army in 4,000 Mosques for Conquest (Video) Awad’s own words confirm that this is a 20-year political growth plan, a mosque-funded recruitment pipeline, a media and narrative-control strategy, a lawfare-based pressure apparatus, an explicit goal of placing Muslims into Congress, the Senate, and even the Supreme Court, and CAIR positioned as the institutional weapon to enforce it.
   Over a 20-year period, CAIR could push 50,000 professionals in each field. That means there could be 50,000 CAIR/Muslim Brotherhood-linked lawyers, journalists, filmmakers, politicos, “historians” loyal to the agenda.
   The endgame could result in 50+ Sharia-adherent Muslim Congress members, Senators, Governors, SCOTUS justices – even a President – all advancing Islamic Supremacy!

The UK’s Christian heritage is rapidly deteriorating. Pausing football games for Ramadan is just another example  From Ramadan breaks in football to halal food in workplaces, Islamic practices are becoming more visible in Britain today. Tim Dieppe says the real issue is not Muslim assertiveness but Christian retreat – and argues the Church must regain its boldness and courage to stand up for the truth of the Gospel..

Oh, the breadth of the love of Christ!

Do you think, Christian, that you can measure the love of Christ? Think of what His love has brought you-justification, adoption, sanctification, eternal life! The riches of His goodness are unsearchable! Oh, the breadth of the love of Christ! Shall such a love as this have half our hearts? Shall Jesus' marvelous loving-kindness and tender care meet with but faint response and tardy acknowledgment? O my soul, tune your heart to a glad song of thanksgiving! Go through the day rejoicing, for you are no desolate wanderer, but a beloved child, watched over, cared for, supplied, and defended by your Lord. -Charles H. Spurgeon Image

Israel hacked into Tehran’s traffic cameras in order to surveil the daily life of senior Iranian figures in preparation for Operation Roaring Lion, according to a report by the Financial Times published on Monday.
   The report said that Israeli intelligence mapped out a “life pattern” for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his security personnel, including travel routes, hours of activity, and the identities of the senior figures who were usually with the late Iranian leader, who was killed in an airstrike on Saturday.

New York, Get Ready for Higher Energy Bills and Rolling Blackouts Meanwhile, customer rates have surged across New York. As of November, bills were up an average of 7 percent over last year, and up a whopping 47 percent since 2019 on average. In greater Syracuse, customer bills have more than doubled from 2019 levels. A state energy forecast published without fanfare last year (following criticism that prior forecasts were unrealistic) showed that electricity prices across Upstate New York could rise at least an additional 40 percent in the next five years.

‘Death to America’ Democrats Don’t Belong Here You don’t have to support President Trump’s economic policies.  You don’t have to agree with his decision to upgrade the White House with a ballroom.  You don’t have to wear a red hat.  You can even roll your eyes when other people talk about “making America great again.”  
   But you can’t take sides with foreign nations that kill Americans.  Even if you hate MAGA chants, you can’t support outsiders who chant, “Death to America.”  There’s plenty of space to debate ideas in the United States.  But if you’re working with America’s enemies, we don’t want you.  You don’t belong here.  You need to go.  Because you’re an enemy, too.

53 Dems Vote Against Calling Iran the Biggest State Sponsor of Terror   We’re not simply talking about the number of bodies, although Iran’s regime likely wins the prize for the biggest massacre of recent history in killing between 30,000 and 40,000 of its own people during the 2026 protests. But technically the CCP has more victims throughout its history than any other regime. What makes Iran’s Islamic dictatorship stand out is its huge and complex web of jihad, which stretches around the globe and impacts dozens of countries.

It's a Crime What the Left Is Doing to the West; UPDATE: It's Trump's Fault  For those of you unfamiliar with the term, anarcho-tyranny is a strategy for destabilizing a society by enabling criminals and repressing ordinary citizens (censorship, anyone?), destroying social trust with the goal of creating a new regime. The Marxists used this tactic to cow citizens.

Democrats Erected Dishonest Billboards to Trick Virginia Voters on Redistricting  Those billboards are trying to trick voters into supporting the Democrats' efforts to disenfranchise the state's Republican population by making it seem like President Trump supports the redistricting scheme.

Maine Eighth Grader Suspended for Private Comments about Trans Investigation  The incident took place on February 13, as students were approaching the gymnasium for a “Rock, Paper, Scissors” competition.
The Maine Wire recounts:
“Student A overheard someone behind them say something like ‘it’s sad that our district is being investigated because someone can decide their gender’ (this is not an eaxct quote but a paraphrase of the comment,) [sic]” said the report.
   As is clear from the school’s own documentation, this comment occurred during a private conversation with another student. Apparently ‘Student A’ was so disturbed by overhearing this entirely innocuous exchange that they reported the incident to the school’s guidance counselor Emelie Morton who then escalated the situation to Assistant Principal Susan Condon.

What’s Next In The Fight To Stop Schools From Transing Kids After SCOTUS Victory The number of K-12 students directly affected by school trans policies over the past decade is unknown, but the total could potentially be several thousand. According to parental-rights lawsuits filed through 2024, about 6,000 public schools in more than 1,200 districts authorized the concealing of student gender transitions from parents. The policies, which can allow a student to access opposite sex bathrooms and sports activities, instruct school officials to send communications home with a student’s birth name, or “deadname,” while keeping a separate set of records at school.

Why Is AI Telling So Many People To Kill Themselves? Could It Be Possible That AI Chatbots Are Being Infiltrated Or Manipulated By Malevolent Entities? It appears that AI technology is making our national suicide crisis even worse. Today, millions of Americans are absolutely addicted to interacting with AI chatbots. There are supposed to be guardrails that keep those conversations from entering dangerous territory, but apparently those guardrails are not working. “Chatbot psychosis” has become such a widespread phenomenon that there is even a Wikipedia entry about it. Large numbers of people are going absolutely nuts after interacting with AI chatbots for an extended period of time. Sadly, some of those people end up killing themselves after being told to do so by their AI “friends”. Others are literally being romantically seduced by AI chatbots before being instructed to kill themselves. Could it be possible that there is something going on here that the experts simply do not understand?
