They’re sorry/not sorry for testing if bots can change minds by pretending to be a trauma counselor or a victim of sexual abuse
Stay slow and controlled on the hip-back extensions. No momentum.

Preparation
Preheat the oven: to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment and lightly grease if desired.
Prepare the crumb topping: Combine melted butter (½ Tbsp), pork rind crumbles (2 Tbsp), cheddar cheese (2 Tbsp), garlic powder (½ tsp), paprika (½ tsp), and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Mix until well combined.
Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breast (6 oz) dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise (2 Tbsp) over the top of the chicken. Press the crumb mixture onto the mayo-coated side to form a crust. Place the chicken on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
Cook the Broccoli: Toss the broccoli florets (1/4 cup) in melted butter (1 tsp), season with salt and pepper, and spread on the other side of the baking sheet. Roast everything on the top rack of the oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C) and the broccoli is tender and browned. Broil the chicken for the last 2–3 minutes if you want a crispier crust.
Serve: Serve the crusted chicken hot with roasted broccoli on the side.
Bonus Sugar Free Mayo Recipe
Ingredients
1 egg yolk
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp lemon juice
½ cup avocado oil
¼ cup olive oil
Salt, to taste
Preparation
In a medium bowl, combine the egg yolk (1), Dijon mustard (1 tsp), and lemon juice (1 Tbsp). Whisk vigorously until smooth and well combined.
While continuing to whisk, very slowly drizzle in the avocado oil (½ cup), followed by the olive oil (¼ cup). Go slowly to ensure the emulsion forms properly—this is key to thick, creamy mayo.
Once all the oil is incorporated and the mixture is thickened, season with salt to taste and whisk again to finish.
Use immediately or store in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
Researchers from the University of Zurich admitted to secretly posting AI-generated comments on Reddit's r/changemyview subreddit to study whether large language models could persuade users to change their opinions. The experiment, conducted without moderator consent and involving AI personas posing as trauma survivors and counselors, sparked ethical backlash and a formal complaint, despite the university's defense that the study's societal value outweighed the rule violations.

If folks are so determined to call it "intelligence" then why should it bother them that they were talking to it rather than a fellow human being? Why should getting the argument from an AI change the merit of the argument?
Or...
What about folks who sign up for online fitness coaching, complete with commentary on their WOD results and progress, and adaptive programming, only to wake up one day and find out their "coach" was an AI all along...?
