OpenAI, the maker of the most popular AI chatbot, used to say it aimed to build artificial intelligence that “safely benefits humanity, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return,” according to its 2023 mission statement. But the ChatGPT maker seems to no longer have the same emphasis on doing so “safely.”

While reviewing its latest IRS disclosure form, which was released in November 2025 and covers 2024, I noticed OpenAI had removed “safely” from its mission statement, among other changes. That change in wording coincided with its transformation from a nonprofit organization into a business increasingly focused on profits.

According to Platformer, a tech media outlet, it has also disbanded its “mission alignment” team.

OpenAI has its "Don't be evil" moment.

By occupied Korea's logic, Ivanka Trump has been chosen as Donald Trump's heir because of how often she has appeared in high profile public events with him and how she is also allowed to wear designer clothes that are out of reach for most Americans.

Hell, Hillary fucking Clinton was meant to be the chosen heir to the Presidency after Bush Jr. but was snubbed twice partly due to America's entrenched traditional gender roles lmao.

Perhaps most strikingly, in late February 2019, Epstein represented to an associate that he had gotten advice from Chomsky over how to navigate “the horrible way you are being treated in the press and public”.

“The best way to proceed is to ignore it,” Chomsky wrote, according to text signed under his first name that Epstein sent to a lawyer and publicist. “That’s particularly true now with the hysteria that has developed about abuse of women, which has reached the point that even questioning a charge is a crime worse than murder.”

How did anyone ever consider this guy an intellectual giant of the Western left is beyond me.

Another angle of the recent ICE execution in Minneapolis shows one of the agents clapping. You don't see the victim or what they're shooting at but still NSFW.

I don't think this was seen from the other two publicly available recordings as they were taken from vertical vantage points relative to the scene, whereas this video was shot from a horizontal POV just a few metres down the street.

We already know that ICE agents are fully on board ideologically with the fascist state's subjugation and terrorizing of the masses, but I think this event will completely dispel the notion for the vast majority of Americans that these people are "just following orders" or that they were forced to do it because they're poor or some military vet with 'PTSD' who could only find honest work with the American Gestapo (cough Graham Platner cough).

Make no mistake, these people enjoy doing this, they are your class enemy, and don't let any lib tell you otherwise.

So I’ve been seeing reports from Western media that “thousands” of Iranians have been killed in the recent protests. What I don’t understand is how any Western outlet could possibly know this when there is still a total internet blackout in Iran which prevents almost no info coming out. Can anyone here verify the accuracy of these claims? Is it just CIA/ Mossad assets spreading misinformation to manufacture consent for a potential US/ Israel attack?

There is currently a memorial service being held at Bondi Beach for the recent mass shooting being attended by Australian politicians and Jewish community leaders.

What shocked me was just how quickly local Zionists have capitalized on the whole thing. I'm watching this on live TV right now and many people in the crowd are wearing Israeli flags. One of the speakers, a guy named David Ossip who is the president of the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies, just said "Am Yisrael Chai" on stage after talking about fighting against anti-Semitism. When the Australian Prime Minister arrived to the vigil, he was getting boos from the crowd. In contrast, the NSW Premier (who ironically is from the same party) was getting cheers, no doubt because he has historically been way more of a hardliner in regards to suppressing anti-zionist activism.

Meanwhile, an anti-immigration rally led by the far right One Nation party is being held in Sydney at the same time and is also attended by Zionists calling for pro-palestine individuals to be deported. All without any pushback from the government.

Xi Jinping meets Masoud Pezeshkian in Beijing ahead of the 80th Anniversary of victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War

Hopefully the Iranian reformists have learned their lesson this year and will never take the Americans for their word again. Even if a future Democrat President tries wooing them again, a “25-year Comprehensive Cooperation Plan” cited by Pezeshkian sounds very hard to break away from.

Don’t know where else to talk about this so forgive me for this not bring news, but I was watching Hasan’s latest vid about the ongoing escalation between Iran and the US/ Israel and many of the comments were criticizing people in there defending Iran’s right to national sovereignty and self-defence by saying stuff like “but Iran is aUtOritaRiaN unlike the free and democratic US!” and “but Iran doesn’t have gay rights and oppresses women!”.

It’s the usual liberal moralistic platitudes that get thrown around whenever consent is being manufactured for war against a US designated enemy in the Global South, but the fact that so many supposed progressives are still trying to justify the imperialization of Iran WHILE they are actively protesting against repression and the destruction of civil rights in the US of A just astounds me.

Just goes to show how deep the neoliberal brain worms still run in westerners, and it also revealed to me how many of Hasan’s own fanbase are still very much liberals.

The German Chancellor of all world leaders not understanding the goal of genocide, leading a country that prides itself on being the biggest understanders of genocidal dictators because "we did it before, so we know it best", is just pure schadenfreude.

I’m conflicted, should I get the crabs out cause it’s the leader of the biggest pdf organization on the planet, or should I mourn cause he’s the most progressive pope we’ll probably ever get in our lifetimes?

Further proof that Tankie is just the liberal version of "SJW" or "Woke"; a meaningless buzzword to describe anything left of them.
