  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

President Trump has spent hours running massive political decisions—like the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro—past artificial intelligence chatbots like Elon Musk’s Grok. Now Democrats are demanding the records of his chats.

Representatives Jamie Raskin and Robert Garcia, the top Democrats on the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees, wrote a five-page letter to President Trump on Wednesday pressing for answers on his chatbot use, whether it be Grok, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any other such tool.

“We are writing to ask whether you have actually been soliciting advice from Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, Grok, in order to help you carry out your official duties as President of the United States. If so, we are writing to inform you that any prompts that you, your staff, or advisors in the Executive Office of the President (EOP) have submitted to AI chatbots … are the sole property of the United States and legally must be preserved for posterity.”

"Naked 15 year old Ivanka".

[–] Didntdoit71@feddit.online 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No way did he ask to see her that old. Start at 13 and work backwards would more like it. He's a fucking pedo, after all.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Technically speaking? Technically speaking...

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 47 points 1 week ago

I hope they keep up all of these demands they've been making recently when they have the house majority back and actually have the power to follow through

[–] JustPlainDave@lemmy.zip 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Every time I hear people say he has an actual plan or that he isn't the dumbest son of a bitch on the planet I'm going to bring this up because I've been convinced since 2016 that he's the dumbest son of a bitch on the planet.

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The bigger the narcissist, the less they learn, because they're convinced they know everything. Trump has been rich and enabled since birth. An argument can be made that as one of the worst narcissists to ever walk the earth, Trump might be the dumbest too.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

He says he hasn't changed at all since he was 6 years old.

Our president has the mind of a 6 year old.

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 19 points 1 week ago (4 children)

He runs important decisions past chatbots?????? Jesus Christ. Jesus fucking Christ

[–] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Uh excuse me it's SuperIntellience thank you very much, he wouldn't just run it through any ol' Bonzai Buddy

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

that lovable purple gorilla would be 1000000000x better than the orange dipshit or his precious 'super intelligence'.

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

His lawyers also argued in court that he should be allowed to sell state secrets on eBay. I think we can kiss secrecy goodbye.

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Doesn't actually strike me as worse than making them himself in this case.

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 2 points 1 week ago

Valid point

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

He's probably asking Grok.

[–] ElDuderino@lemmus.org 1 points 1 week ago

How do I end this Iran shitshow? Make no mistakes!

[–] Gpennyhigh@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Lol like how he flushed and burned documents and other destruction last time, and later theft of documents, he won't comply. He's a piece of shit and will continue to behave that way. Bad fruit from the sickness of the proudly prejudiced and tribal apes.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 week ago

Just ask the bot.

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Probably using AI to scheme an overthrow of the election.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

These logs are a matter of public records. We have the right to point and laugh at what he wrote and I fucking garuantee it is hilarious.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Imagine if they were able to get this. Holy shit.

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 3 points 1 week ago

I bet there are health related questions in there as well. God it would be so delicious to see Grok convince him he doesn't have dementia or that blood in his pee is normal.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 5 points 1 week ago

Transparency from 86/47? Yes, please!! And now.

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 4 points 1 week ago

Trump poisoning the well by adding his blather to their training sets might just be the only action of his I can get behind.

No, wait. That's uncharitable. I'm a big fan of his dietary choices too.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

I dunno. Chatbots are pretty fucking stupid, but Trump is dumber...

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

I didn't give Trump permission to use chatbots

Id say I want to sacrifice this pissrag but that'd just be an insult to the Allfather at this point. Odin has wisdom connotations and all but this blithering bag of bio waste is clearly lacking in any, at least Vance has a form of shitty political cunning.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works -3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

And they sent a strong letter!

[–] neidu4@piefed.social 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

That's.... that's what a legislative body does. Or are you more in favor of interpretive dance?

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works -2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Lawsuits, depositions, and official actions including shutdowns and so on are more my speed. Only the first of which is really available until after mid terms. Democrats acting stern with no follow up is par for the course even when they have control of one or more branches of government.

Edit: alright well fuck me then let's Susan Collins this thing. Send a letter and hope everyone learns a lesson.

[–] neidu4@piefed.social 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Those are not the tasks of a legislative body. That's on everyone else, you included.

Well maybe not depositions, that's more of a judicial branch thing.

[–] the_artic_one@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

And they wrote a snarky social media comment.
