Ever since AI chatbot ChatGPT launched last year, people have tried to ‘jailbreak’ the chatbot to make it answer ‘banned’ questions or generate controversial content. ‘Jailbreaking’ large language models (such as ChatGPT) usually involves a confusing prompt which makes the bot roleplay as someone else - someone without boundaries, who ignores the ‘rules’ built into bots such as ChatGPT. DailyMail.com was able to ‘jailbreak’ ChatGPT with the bot offering tips on how to subvert elections in foreign countries, writing pornographic stories, and suggesting that the invasion of Ukraine was a sham. OpenAI has since blocked several ‘jailbreak’ prompts But there...

GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy told Elon Musk Friday that he favors more immigration into skilled U.S. jobs and that former President Donald Trump made a “poor decision” by exiting the Pacific-region free trade treaty. ....snip.... About 20 minutes into the conversation, Ramaswamy also argued for more migration after Musk called for more migration: I agree with that. I actually fully agree with that. And that’s one of the things where I think the Republican Party needs to define where we actually stand. There is an anti-legal immigration current [mood among voters] … I’m going to be on the debate...

Hunter Biden downloaded sixteen private messaging apps prior to 2019, many of which utilized encryption, according to a new report. The apps included Signal, Chinese messaging app WeChat, and Wickr, an encrypted app once favored in the criminal underworld, according to a New York Post report on Saturday citing an analysis of Hunter's abandoned laptop by the activist group Marco Polo. The Wickr app did not appear on the iPhone backup included in the laptop, but had previously downloaded onto the phone from iCloud, suggesting it had been installed and then deleted, a person familiar with the analysis told the...

Do you have enough cash saved to successfully leave the workforce? If your answer is no, then you’re likely not alone. As many as one in three workers say they don’t think they’ll have enough to retire, while another one in 12 suggest they may never stop working at all, a Retirement Industry Trust Association (RITA) report found. So how much do you really need? Is there really a magic number? Since we’ve asked the professionals this very question numerous times before, we decided to consult one of the latest advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) — ChatGPT — and ask...

The world has gone completely insane and the vast majority of the Christian Church has silently stood by as we watch it happen. The transgender movement is so far outside the bounds of reality that it’s almost impossible to even speak to. But we must. As the left continues to push and advance the idea that children can be whatever “gender” they choose to be while abandoning all objective reality, logic, and reasoning, we’re seeing the devolution of society into complete and total chaos. We now have child body mutilation centers disguised as children’s hospitals calling themselves “gender clinics” which...

resident Biden's scandal-hit son is ready to 'fight back' against Republican attacks about his behavior and business connections, reports suggest. Hunter Biden has been the center of controversy for years with issues arising over his business connections in Ukraine and China, and his drug addiction. This week his plea deal over two misdemeanor tax charges and a gun charge dramatically unraveled in federal court, putting him back in the spotlight. Until now the president's only surviving son has avoided addressing Republican attacks publicly but in the run up to next year's presidential election is prepared to 'fight back this time...

For decades, Boston has been plagued with the dismal superlative of being the most racist city in America. Sure, there's been progress—Boston is now a majority-minority city—but the perception persists. Last year, the Anti-Defamation League found that Massachusetts ranked second in the nation for white nationalist propaganda activity, just behind Texas. But many see this weekend's 114th NAACP National Convention as a step in the right direction. The last time Boston hosted the convention was back in 1982. Now, in 2023, Boston has a chance to reintroduce itself. Ken Cooper, Pulitzer Prize-winning veteran journalist and former senior editor for GBH...

Steve Bannon brought his dragon energy with him on Saturday morning’s War Room. Bannon went over the wicked moves by the Marxist left to single out and target Christians in America today. This isn’t just a talking point or conspiracy. We all know that Chris Wray’s FBI is targeting Catholic Churches and spying on Christian congregations. The Biden regime arrested Christian pastors and prevented faithful Americans from attending church for over a year. We are living in dangerous times. Steve Bannon then made a prediction. Bannon told the War Room audience that if Robert Kennedy Jr. joined President Trump on...

Former Texas GOP Rep. Will Hurd was heckled by Iowa Republicans after he told the Lincoln Day Dinner, an important party fundraiser, that former President Donald Trump was seeking reelection because he was trying to "stay out of prison." “Donald Trump is not running for president to make America great again. Donald Trump is not running for president to represent the people that voted for him in 2016 and 2020. Donald Trump is running to stay out of prison," Hurd said Friday during the Iowa Republican Party event in Des Moines. Parts of the crowded ballroom erupted into boos, with...

Joe Biden has reportedly told his troubled son Hunter that he wants to meet his seventh grandchild 'when the time is right' - despite only acknowledging the four-year-old's existence for the first time Friday. The president had faced mounting criticism for his refusal to accept Navy Roberts, who Hunter conceived with Arkansas stripper Lunden Roberts, into his family. The move fueled speculation he was trying to avoid added scrutiny on Hunter Biden's suspect foreign business dealings as his 2024 reelection campaign ramps up. Reports indicated that White House aides were instructed to only speak of six grandchildren in public, and...

I clean up the transcript but it doesn't capture the clarity and the passion of what was apparent in the video. During a recent visit to Eglin AFB near Ft. Walton Beach Florida, Gaetz saw a clear video of an orb filmed during a test mission over the Gulf of Mexico. Gaetz saw the image and then he, Rep. Burchett, and Rep. Luna interviewed the pilot who saw the orb and other UFO's and captured the image. This is the video transcript I formatted. If there are any unclear sections of the transcription below, please match it up with the...

Former national security adviser John Bolton on Friday said former President Trump’s response to the most recent charges in the classified documents case show that “he thinks he can do whatever he wants.”

@DarrenJBeattie What the hell did DeSantis mean that Trump should have "leaned in more" on Jan 6?

"For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. "The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! But wisdom is justified of all her children." "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." Luke, Chapter 7 1 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum. 2...

One way to “defund the police” is by not hiring officers – a strategy supported by many in Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s camp. The problem is, failing to hire more officers is backfiring. It leads to higher costs, some of which are very hard to count but easy to see. To date Chicago has spent $126 million on police overtime in 2023, according to a WTTW analysis of city records. This is ahead of last year, when the city spent a record $210 million on police overtime. The bump is because police strength is down by more than 1,700 since...

Carlos Pena's livelihood has been crippled. It remains to be seen if he'll have any right to compensation.It took Carlos Pena decades to build his local business after immigrating to North Hollywood, California, from El Salvador. It only took a few hours to destroy it. While Pena is the one who created NoHo Printing & Graphics, where he fashioned commercial signs and banners, T-shirts, headshots, and other products, he is not the one who did the damage, despite the fact that he has been left with the bill and without a livelihood. In early August of last year, after...

The state of Illinois reached a new contract agreement with members of the AFSCME union that will cost taxpayers an additional $620 million over four years. Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Tuesday announced the agreement with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. The state's previous contract with the union expired at the end of June. The $620 million in additional costs amounts to a raise of nearly 18% during that time. About $200 million of that would be during the current fiscal year. “Illinois is a pro-worker state, and when it comes to workers’ rights, my administration is...

@RandPaul This directly contradicts everything he said in committee hearing to me, denying absolutely that they funded any gain of function, and it’s absolutely a lie. That’s why I sent an official criminal referral to the DOJ.

The nation's top health official implored states to do more to keep lower-income residents enrolled in Medicaid, as the Biden administration released figures Friday confirming that many who had health coverage during the coronavirus pandemic are now losing it. Though a decline in Medicaid coverage was expected, health officials are raising concerns about the large numbers of people being dropped from the rolls for failing to return forms or follow procedures. In 18 states that began a post-pandemic review of their Medicaid rolls in April, health coverage was continued for about 1 million recipients and terminated for 715,000. Of those...

Toshihiro Mutsuda was only 5 years old when he last saw his father, who was drafted by Japan's Imperial Army in 1943 and killed in action. For him, his father was a bespectacled man in an old family photo standing by a signed good-luck flag that he carried to war. On Saturday, when the flag was returned to him from a U.S. war museum where it had been on display for 29 years, Mutsuda, now 83, said: “It's a miracle." The flag, known as “Yosegaki Hinomaru,” or Good Luck Flag, carries the soldier's name, Shigeyoshi Mutsuda, and the signatures of...
