Robert Noggle has revised his SEP-entry on The Ethics of Manipulation,
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/ethics-manipulation/
What a savoury topic, even without explicit references to sycophantic AI!

Guess I'll give up on fish again for one single stupid reason: Its strict refusal to pass unmatched wildcards to commands like grep. No, I am not going to quote each and every regular expression just because this otherwise pretty bloated shell decides to be paternalistic on this topic.

Israel and the United States are now at war with Iran, a conflict framed by both leaders through a stark and self-serving moral binary. In the words of Benjamin Netanyahu, it is cast as a “necessary fight between good and evil.” For Donald Trump, the illegality of the war is beside the point. It is waged instead in the ideological spirit and cruelty of the Crusades, fueled by religious fervor and animated by what David Smith writing in The Guardian, has called a celebration of the “capacity to inflict violence.”

"Instead of seeing authoritarianism as inherently gendered and violent, as an inevitable feature of patriarchy, as a system that justifies itself by co-opting any moral framework, you view it as either “uniquely Islam”, an “Abrahamic religions issue”, or “proof that all religions are oppressive.” Why don’t you name a secular, non-authoritarian, non-misogynistic nation-state, then?"

Assembly Bill No. 1043 of the State of California forces every operating system vendor to implement an age verification system on "account setup". I guess it's time to break the text of it down and rant a pissed-off rant about how stupid it is. Shall we?
No hacks or kooks, and certainly no politics in science. It's time to ignore, dispense with and abolish the Food and Drug Administration. I'm sure all those private health organizations would love to fill the void, and maybe then we will have as many things approved here as already in Europe and other developed countries.
