🇪🇺🏳️🌈⚖️🇭🇺 A legal earthquake - CJEU finds Hungary to have violated EU law on multiple counts with its anti-LGBT+ legislation (as expected) but also for the first time in history, in an EU law-reshaping precedent, finds Hungary to violate Art 2 TEU in a self-standing manner.

"Cats for pleasure" by Gilles Dauvé.
"If an essential capitalist feature is the commodification and industrialisation of everything, that applies to non-human animals as well as humans. Slaughterhouse horrors on the one hand, videos of cute puppies and kittens on the other."

I’m pretty sure that half of its usage comes from MAGA people
Disgusting reporting by BBC using a tiny number of cases to suggest widespread abuse of a system which routinely denies LGBTQIA+ individuals asylum and forces them back into environments of persecution. This article massively distorts the reality of the situation. 1/

Yet another far-right family affair from Chile
Doe had broken up with the user in 2024, and he used ChatGPT to process the split, according to emails and communications cited in the lawsuit. Rather than push back on his one-sided account, it repeatedly cast him as rational and wronged, and her as manipulative and unstable. He then took these AI-generated conclusions off the screen and into the real world, using them to stalk and harass her. This manifested in several AI-generated, clinical-looking psychological reports that he distributed to her family, friends, and employer.
![For months, her then-fiancé and partner of several years had been fixating on her and their relationship with OpenAI’s ChatGPT. In mid-2024, she explained, they’d hit a rough patch as a couple; in response, he turned to ChatGPT, which he’d previously used for general business-related tasks, for “therapy.”
Before she knew it, she recalled, he was spending hours each day talking with the bot, funneling everything she said or did into the model and propounding on pseudo-psychiatric theories about her mental health and behavior. He started to bombard the woman with screenshots of his ChatGPT interactions and copy-pasted AI-generated text, in which the chatbot can be seen armchair-diagnosing her with personality disorders and insisting that she was concealing her real feelings and behavior through coded language. The bot often laced its so-called analyses with flowery spiritual jargon, accusing the woman of engaging in manipulative “rituals.”
Trying to communicate with her fiancé was like walking on “ChatGPT eggshells,” the woman recalled. No matter what she tried, ChatGPT would “twist it.”
“He would send [screenshots] to me from ChatGPT, and be like, ‘Why does it say this? Why would it say this about you, if this is not true?'” she recounted. “And it was just awful, awful things.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fhnih5ovyd5w5pch254ordo2/bafkreidy34if6qaoxglmgyuqzd45qrtblapduetgu6y3m4vwuto6etcmem)
For months, her then-fiancé and partner of several years had been fixating on her and their relationship with OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

Why would it say this about you, if this is not true?'” she recounted. “And it was just awful, awful things.”
Shortly after moving out, the former fiancé began to publish multiple videos and images a day on social media accusing the woman of an array of alleged abuses — the same bizarre ideas he’d fixated on so extensively with ChatGPT. In some videos, he stares into the camera, reading from seemingly AI-generated scripts; others feature ChatGPT-generated text overlaid on spiritual or sci-fi-esque graphics. In multiple posts, he describes stabbing the woman. In another, he discusses surveilling her. (The posts, which we’ve reviewed, are intensely disturbing; we’re not quoting directly from them or the man’s ChatGPT transcripts due to concern for the woman’s privacy and safety.) The ex-fiancé also published revenge porn of the woman on social media, shared her full name and other personal information, and doxxed the names and ages of her teenage children from a previous marriage. He created a new TikTok dedicated to harassing content — complete with its own hashtag — and followed the woman’s family, friends, and neighbors, as well as other teens from her kids’ high school. “I’ve lived in this small town my entire life,” said the woman. “I couldn’t leave my house for months… people were messaging me all over my social media, like, ‘Are you safe? Are your kids safe? What is happening right now?'”
A woman sued OpenAI last week alleging that ChatGPT reinforced the obsessive, violent delusions of her stalker (her ex-boyfriend.)
This woman's claims (as detailed by TechCrunch, left) are chillingly similar to those of a completely different woman whose story Futurism reported on in Feb (right):
[I'll keep this thread open for further updates] /30
Like his 'intellectual' brother Axel, Leif also thinks that the solution to ‘delinquency’ and crime is for bullets to start flying - but citizens themselves should also be allowed to shoot. 29/
In 2021, he founded the Chilean Rifle Association (ACDR) in the model of the NRA. The aim is to extend the US 2nd Amendment to Chile in the name of ‘self defence’ against migrants - as he claimed in an article in (where else?), El Mercurio, in 2024. 28/
Last but not least, Leif Kaiser is a gun lunatic, mostly famous in Chile for having been beaten up after making homophobic comments to a couple in the street. 27/
A fervent supporter of the police and the military, he has argued them doing their jobs properly, “means bullets flying, blood being spilled, people dying”. A true freedom lover. 26/
A neoliberal businessman with a similar desire as his brother Johannes to become president one day, he loves the police and markets. He also hates free education - despite having enjoyed one himself. 25/
An enemy of ‘cultural marxism’ 🤡 and an avid climate denialist, Axel is a close friend of Milei (founder of Foundation Faro that works for Milei’s party) and defended the deployment of the military in 2019. 24/
The third son, Axel, a self-proclaimed “enemy number one of the left” is often described as the ‘intellectual’ of the siblings 🤡. With regular columns in (of course) El Mercurio and La Tercera, he is a neoliberal ideologue and member of the Mont Pelerin society. 23/
Naturally, joining her brothers’ fascist ramblings, she also vigorously defended police brutality, launching a support campaign for the former cop accused of blinding protester Gustavo Gatica during the 2019 uprising. 22/
Publishing a self-help guide for romantic relationships 🤡, she used her platform to attack feminism, arguing that women’s traumas are “exacerbated and exploited” by the “far left” and that women should also seek their own responsibility for them. 21/
Johannes' sister Vanessa, a Católica University alumni and (wtf) director of Hannah Arendt Chair at the Autonomous University, got into ‘literature’ before engaging in politics. 20/
While in Congress, he spewed his fascist garbage continuously, attacking migrants, “sexual dissidence” and victims of the dictatorship - while glorifying past and present police and military abusers. He also appears to have a family relation to José Antonio Kast's wife. 19/
[Back to Johannes Kaiser] In 2021, his YouTube fame and his fascist & misogynist views earned him a following that got him elected to Congress. Also, after years of searching for a trad wife, he seems to have found one in a former UDI activist. He also hopes one day to become president. 18/
In 2006, Krassnoff was sentenced to more than 1000 years of imprisonment for an endless list of crimes against humanity, with additional sentences coming in later years. In the Chilean fascist landscape, of course, crimes against humanity mean he was serving his country. 17/
[Side-story] The descendant of White Army soldier Semyon Krasnov who would find refuge in Nazi Germany in 1942, Miguel Krassnoff happily joined Pinochet's coup, in charge of attacking Allende's residence in 1973. After, he would be placed in charge of the Villa Grimaldi torture camp. 16/
In his channel, he (of course) defended Pinochet, while also producing a boring "documentary" fanatically defending Miguel Krassnoff, the right-hand man of criminal Manuel Contreras of the infamous DINA. 15/
Leaving for Europe in the mid 1990s and after a series of menial jobs, he found his true “intellectual development” by becoming a far-right YouTuber in 2016. 14/
As for Juan’s kids, they form quite a wild bunch.
Johannes, the eldest, tried many times to study but failed every time. He did however complete his military training. 13/
