WHEN THERE’S NO CREDIBILITY LEFT TO SQUANDER:

PROBABLY FOR THE BEST: OpenAI “indefinitely” shelves plans for erotic ChatGPT.

Insiders told FT that OpenAI mulled scrapping the “adult mode” plan entirely, as even its own advisors warned that ChatGPT users could form unhealthy attachments, which might harm their mental health. One advisor chillingly suggested that the tweak risked turning ChatGPT into a “sexy suicide coach.”

Advisors weren’t the only ones seeing red flags, the report said.

Staff began questioning whether sexy ChatGPT aligned with OpenAI’s mission to make AI that benefits humanity. For staff working on developing “adult mode,” it apparently wasn’t worth the effort to overcome technical challenges for the feature. They faced “difficulties,” sources told FT, “training AI models that previously avoided such conversations for safety reasons to produce explicit content.” It was also hard to keep illegal behavior out of outputs, like bestiality and incest, when using datasets that included sexual content, sources said.

Maybe more LLM companies should think twice before rushing new services out the door.

MORE LIKE THIS, PLEASE: Blanche says DOJ, FBI has ‘cleaned house’ of agents, employees who assisted in Trump prosecutions.

Blanche told an audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Grapevine, Texas, that approximately 200 DOJ employees have either left or been fired under the Trump administration for working on the high-profile cases.

He also commented that FBI Director Kash Patel has removed a string of agents who were connected to the Trump investigations but did not state how many agents have been fired so far.

“There is not a single man or woman at the Department of Justice who had anything to do with those prosecutions,” Blanche said. “Director Patel has cleaned house there too. There isn’t a single man or woman with a gun — federal agent — still in that organization that had anything to do with the prosecution of President Trump.”

Banana republic antics require punishment.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: International Olympic Committee Hits Back at the Rainbow Mafia Bullies. “Given that the Olympics are such a long-term goal, this is a phenomenal win for female athletes. If radical leftists had their way, any young girl who spent her life training for the Olympics could have her dreams crushed by a mediocre male athlete who decided to “identify” as female. They wanted a wholesale disenfranchisement of young women for the sake of nonexistent woke tolerance.”

BLUE STATE BLUES: Washington’s ‘Millionaire Tax’ sends luxury home listings surging 65% overnight.

Following the enactment of the new 9.9% income tax (known as the “Millionaire Tax,” or SB 6346), there’s been an increase in home listings in Washington State. Data from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service shows that the number of homes priced at $2 million or more jumped by 65% the day after Democrats passed the bill compared to the same data last year.

While the total number of high-end homes is relatively small, realtors previously told The Center Square that several clients listed their properties specifically because of the new tax.

The data shows that on March 12, the day after the tax bill passed, there were 53 high-value listings compared to just 32 on that same day in 2025. When the bill was first introduced in February, the number of listings was also higher than the previous year.

The numbers aren’t huge, but neither are the number of people in Washington’s new tax bracket.

It’s an easy call that SB 6346 will cost Washington revenue — but, hey, they’ll have fewer of those nasty high-earners.

WELL, GOOD: International Olympic Committee announces new Policy on the Protection of the Female (Women’s) Category in Olympic Sport.

Eligibility for any female category event at the Olympic Games or any other IOC event, including individual and team sports, is now limited to biological females, determined on the basis of a one‑time SRY gene screening.

Evidence‑based and expert‑informed, the policy – applicable for the LA28 Olympic Games onwards – protects fairness, safety and integrity in the female category.

More evidence that the social contagion is finally fading.

ROBERT SPENCER: Dem Who Claimed Murdered Girl Startled Killer Wants You to Know She Herself is the Real Victim.

One of the most revolting aspects of the terrible story of the murder of Sheridan Gorman was the reaction of Chicago Alderwoman Maria Hadden, who is, of course, a Democrat. Gorman was a freshman at Loyola University Chicago who was walking on the beach with her friends when an illegal migrant named Jose Medina-Medina approached her and shot her in the head. In response, Haddon did her best to shift the blame from Medina-Medina to Gorman, claiming that she “startled” him, as if that justified murder, and completely ignored the fact that Medina-Medina was an illegal migrant who should never have had a gun or been in the country in the first place.

Now, however, Hadden wants you to know that the real victim of this episode is neither Sheridan Gorman or Jose Medina-Medina, but… Maria Hadden.

Because of course.

NUKES IN SPACE: Here is NASA’s plan for nuking Gateway and sending it to Mars.

The centerpiece of Gateway, called the Power and Propulsion Element, is closest to being ready for launch. NASA’s rejigged exploration roadmap, revealed Tuesday in an all-day event at NASA headquarters in Washington, calls for repurposing the core module for a nuclear-electric propulsion demonstration in deep space.

This is not the first time NASA has announced a nuclear propulsion demo. More than 20 years ago, NASA was working on a nuclear-electric propulsion initiative called Project Prometheus. It was canceled. In 2021, NASA and DARPA, the Pentagon’s research and development agency, started work on a nuclear rocket engine known as DRACO. NASA and the Pentagon canceled the DRACO program last year.
…
NASA will cannibalize the core module of Gateway for the SR-1 mission. The Power and Propulsion Element, or PPE, is under construction at Lanteris Space Systems in Palo Alto, California. The module will have the most powerful electric propulsion system ever flown in space, with three 12-kilowatt engines and four 6-kilowatt thrusters. The PPE would have originally relied entirely on solar power. Under NASA’s new plan, it will have solar arrays and a uranium-fueled fission reactor.

The goal for SR-1 Freedom is to “prove the US can build, launch, and operate a nuclear propulsion system,” laying the “foundation” for more capable missions to follow, said Steve Sinacore, NASA’s program executive for space reactors. Launch is just 33 months away.

There’s a lot of work to do in less than three years, but hopefully Isaacman’s reenergized NASA can pull it off.

IT’S GOOD TO BE THE NOMENKLATURA: Chicago, Where The Mayor’s Safety Is Far More Important Than Any Average Citizen’s. “Reports now circulating in Chicago political media and on social media reveal Mayor Johnson’s personal armed security detail includes as many as 150 Chicago Police Department officers at a cost to taxpayers of roughly $30 million a year. That’s almost three times the number of cops that protected Johnson’s predecessor, Lori Lightfoot.”

It’s about reminding the proles where they stand in the hierarchy.
