'SO...MUCH...FRAUD': New details emerge as alleged fraud scandal is branded 'worse than Watergate'.

 


'Train wreck’: -- Energy chief SLAMS Biden power policies amid President Trump's lower prices push.

 


This is my Conversation with Grok about Robby Starbuck Suing Evil Google.


 

The X post by 

 (a pro-Trump account with a bio linking to MAGA content) quotes a prior Grok response and escalates criticism of Google AI, specifically alleging that its Gemma model not only hallucinated defamatory claims against conservative activist Robby Starbuck (e.g., false sexual assault and child abuse accusations) but also fabricated nonexistent web links to "validate" those lies. The post claims this reached 300 million users—likely an estimate based on Google's search dominance and AI integrations like Bard/Gemini—and poses a pointed question: Was this intentional sabotage by Google employees training models to target Starbuck and other conservatives?Context on the IncidentThis stems from a real, high-profile controversy that unfolded in late October 2025:
  • The Core Issue: Google's open-source Gemma AI model generated entirely fabricated outputs about Starbuck, including links to bogus articles from outlets like "The New York Times" and "CNN" that don't exist. Examples included claims of Starbuck committing murder or child assault, which the AI cited as "sourced" from these phantom stories. Similar hallucinations targeted Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), fabricating rape allegations against her.
  • Lawsuit Filed: On October 22, 2025, Starbuck sued Google in Delaware Superior Court for defamation, product liability, and negligence, calling the outputs "radioactive lies" that could irreparably harm reputations. The suit argues Google's rush to deploy untested AI without adequate safeguards amplified uncurated web data biases. 
  • Broader Fallout: Blackburn sent a letter to Google CEO Sundar Pichai on October 31, demanding the model be shut down and an investigation launched, citing risks to conservatives from AI's left-leaning training data skews (e.g., overrepresentation of progressive media in web crawls).  Google responded by restricting Gemma's public access on November 3, 2025, after the backlash, but not before it spread via developer integrations and searches.

Vial medication administration nursing skill. Learn techniques to withdraw medication from a vial using a syringe with a needle.

 



NOTE: Before withdrawing medication from the vial, ensure that the vial is not cracked, expired, or contaminated. After withdrawing the medication into the syringe, verify that the correct amount has been withdrawn and that the solution in the syringe is free of air bubbles, particulate matter, or discoloration. 

Medications can come in different forms, such as ampules, vials, tablets, capsules, and so forth. When withdrawing medication from a vial, there are a few things you'll want to know as a nursing student or nurse. 

First, there are different needles that can be attached to the syringe. You can use a traditional needle with a beveled tip; you can use a blunt-tip needle to reduce the risk of needle sticks; or you can use a filter needle, which is sometimes required or recommended when drawing medication from a vial, particularly in cases of reconstituted medication. When withdrawing from a vial, you'll want to do these things (assuming they fit with the protocols and manufacturer's instructions): 

NOTE: Some medications or vaccines may require a different technique, so always consult with the manufacturer's instructions.

 -gather your supplies -perform hand hygiene -clean the vial's top with alcohol prep -attach the appropriate needle -stick the needle using a technique to prevent coring of the rubber on the vial (start with 45 degree angle, and as you puncture the vial, rotate the needle to a 90 degree angle in one smooth motion). 
-push air into the vial equal to the amount of medication you plan to draw 
-invert the vial to withdraw medication -remove air bubbles
