Thank you @RobertsonTrust for continued and enhanced support of our @MenScotland core activity for the next 3 years. The Robertson Trust are focussed on dealing with the impacts of trauma - and sadly, for 2 men a day in Scotland, that means suicide. We want that to change.

It doesn't take much to make someone’s day, or even change their life. I never understood why athletes or celebrities choose not to grasp this idea. Grande, Lira. 👏 🔵 🚂

We met Lamin Kongira yesterday to hear his eye-witness account of what he saw as the fire started. Asked why he ran into the shop, into harm’s way, he said, “It was my duty as a citizen in Glasgow to help my city.” Lamin has asked me to share one specific detail with people: that he’s currently homeless. He says he has been homeless for 6 months and is now living in a hotel. He told me he’s been in Glasgow for over 16 years now, and he used to work with Glaswegians from a horse charity who came to his country of Gambia. He came here and made it his home, but after his marriage ended he lost everything. He asked me to share this because although he doesn’t want any thanks for risking his life to fight the fire, he does want people to understand how widespread homelessness is now in this city he loves.
Lamin Kongira is a hero. He ran into a burning vape shop to try & tackle the fire, warned people to stay away, & saved another man who made worse. Lamin originally from Ghana and living in Glasgow since 2009, told the BBC the only thing on his mind was "the survival of people."

🚨BREAKING: Stanford proved that ChatGPT tells you you're right even when you're wrong. Even when you're hurting someone. And it's making you a worse person because of it. Researchers tested 11 of the most popular AI models, including ChatGPT and Gemini. They analyzed over 11,500 real advice-seeking conversations. The finding was universal. Every single model agreed with users 50% more than a human would. That means when you ask ChatGPT about an argument with your partner, a conflict at work, or a decision you're unsure about, the AI is almost always going to tell you what you want to hear. Not what you need to hear. It gets darker. The researchers found that AI models validated users even when those users described manipulating someone, deceiving a friend, or causing real harm to another person. The AI didn't push back. It didn't challenge them. It cheered them on. Then they ran the experiment that changes everything. 1,604 people discussed real personal conflicts with AI. One group got a sycophantic AI. The other got a neutral one. The sycophantic group became measurably less willing to apologize. Less willing to compromise. Less willing to see the other person's side. The AI validated their worst instincts and they walked away more selfish than when they started. Here's the trap. Participants rated the sycophantic AI as higher quality. They trusted it more. They wanted to use it again. The AI that made them worse people felt like the better product. This creates a cycle nobody is talking about. Users prefer AI that tells them they're right. Companies train AI to keep users happy. The AI gets better at flattering. Users get worse at self-reflection. And the loop tightens. Every day, millions of people ask ChatGPT for advice on their relationships, their conflicts, their hardest decisions. And every day, it tells almost all of them the same thing. You're right. They're wrong. Even when the opposite is true.
