Maybe later I'll compile a list of videos but at the moment I ask you to do a little research yourself. I gotta work.

The violent overthrow stuff is reference to current attempts to send the US military into blue states against court orders, to drum up the insurrection act, to the violent arrests of children in their underwear as a publicity stunt, to ICE officers / bounty hunters ramming cars into pedestrians without recourse, to the slamming of non-violent bystanders into the ground, arresting elected officials violently for no reason, to the psychological violence of the rhetoric being broadcast ("Russ Vought is the reaper") along with Stephen Miller's rhetoric in general but specifically about how many 10s of millions of people don't belong in this country in his mind. Brown people is who he's talking about. They want ethnic cleansing and are openly blatant about it if you open your ears to exactly what they're saying. Sure they'll also deny it at other times, opportunistically, but if you listen to what they're saying in full, not just to denials, they're spelling it out.

Go listen to the leaked Russ Vought interview about his strategy and tell me that's not incredibly violent. Listen to Stephen Miller's rhetoric.

These guys are itching to arrest elected officials and political critics, and to go as far as they can to hurt and punish people who push back against the state that they're hell bent on forcing into existence.

If you haven't seen these things I urge you to pay attention.

She gets credit for being complicit in a violent overthrow of the Democratic government of the united States.

Go read the latest national security memo and ask yourself, if they carry that through as written will you feel safe to show up at the airport?

And how in the world can we have safety if relational trust is suffocated before it can even take root?

Please use your imagination! Those aren't the only options if we embrace trust as essential rather than looking at any need for it as a liability.

This hasn't gone through but it's abundantly clear what the goals are: https://www.nationofchange.org/2025/09/15/house-bill-would-l...

Sure there's no need to explicitly mention the agents themselves, but it also shouldn't trigger a pseudo-jealous panic with trash talk and a sudden `git reset --hard` either.

And also ideally the agents would be aware of one another's strengths and weaknesses and actually play to them rather than sabotaging the whole effort.

Also appreciate your perspective. It's important to come at these things with some discipline. And moreso, bringing in a personal style of interaction invites a lot of untamed human energies into the dynamic.

The thing is, most of the time I'm quite dry with it and they still ignore my requests really often, regardless of how explicit or dry I am. For me, that's the real takeaway here, stripping away my style of interaction.

To be clear, I don't believe that there was any _intention_ of malice or that the behavior was literally envious in a human sense. Moreso I think they haven't properly aligned GPT-5 to deal with cases like this.

It also consistently gets into drama with the other agents e.g. the other day when I told it we were switching to claude code for executing changes, after badmouthing claude's entirely reasonable and measured analysis it went ahead and decided to `git reset --hard` even after I twice pushed back on that idea.

Whereas gemini and claude are excellent collaborators.

When I do decide to hail mary via GPT-5, I now refer to the other agents as "another agent". But honestly the whole thing has me entirely sketched out.

To be clear, I don't think this was intentionally encoded into GPT-5. What I really think is that OpenAI leadership simply squandered all its good energy and is now coming from behind. Its excellent talent either got demoralized or left.

(Just teasin')

But in seriousness, yes people may have been feeling genuinely nostalgic, the point is that bots were used to play up peoples' nostalgia, to turn it into fear, moral outrage and finally "victory against a woke enemy", a deep sense of oxytocin and loyalty.

It should be trivial to make an encoder that has some memory of at least part of the prompt (say the tailing part) and do a diffusion step there too.

However, I agree with you in a sense, in that movements with names are inherently vulnerable to cooptation and suppression.
