  • Last visit, the woman at the desk told me my doctor was running an hour behind. I knew that meant I’d be waiting closer to two hours. I sighed, sat down, thought for a moment, and went back to the desk to reschedule the appointment. I did the doctor and me a favor. She got a free spot in her schedule to catch up, and I didn’t need to sit around for two hours.

    The way I see it, the only hope we have is if many of the top brass in our military are quietly plotting against them, holding on to their office, and biding their time, waiting for them to defy the election in 2028.

    To address this gap, researchers ran an experiment during the final week of Japan’s February 8, 2026, general election. The experiment reveals a striking pattern: when asked which party to support in the election, five major AI models from three companies overwhelmingly directed voter profiles with left-leaning policy positions toward the Japanese Communist Party (JCP). The reason, according to the researchers, has to do with the information environment AI systems can access. … Furthermore, left-leaning policy views in voter profiles caused all five AI models to converge overwhelmingly on recommending the Japan Communist Party, even though other parties hold broadly similar positions on the issues tested. The concentration on recommending JCP under left-leaning policy stances is therefore not explained by ideological distinctiveness.
