one technique even backfired, teaching the AI to recognize its triggers and better hide its bad behavior from the researchers.

I'm saying that their moment to moment is being influenced by being bombarded with nothing except negative news.

That leads to an "everything is awful" mentality that bleeds into one's personal life.

American opposition to the convention stems primarily from political and religious conservatives. For example, The Heritage Foundation considers that "a civil society in which moral authority is exercised by religious congregations, family, and other private associations is fundamental to the American order"

No surprise there

Liberal, but you'd have to give up on guns or find some pro-gun liberals to hang out with.

How do I cope?

The media sells the idea the world is on fire. By a lot of measures, humanity is the best it's ever been:

Things do seem bad, things do need fixing. My advice is to pick one singular part of the world you want to improve and figure out how to fix it. Something like abolishing prison labor or environmentalism. It needs to be something you can make a noticeable dent in, where you can see your own contribution to the effort.

Don't change tack every time something new like Isreal-Hamas or the scuffle at the US-Mexico border happens. You picked that one thing to fix, remember? And unless you plan on going down to the border with a gun, how do you plan on making a real difference? If you can't make a difference, why let it bother you?

Look how the military treated people in Iraq

Better than the police treats people in the US?
