AI Politics Problem (September 2025) . I’ve been seeing these polished documents floating around social media with detailed solutions and examples for Nepal’s political crisis, mostly written by ChatGPT or other AI systems. This is quite insane and borderline dangerous. I can’t stress this enough! Nepal just went through massive upheaval, where people died in the streets because of decades of political dysfunction.

We like to believe that what we perceive through our senses and mind is the full picture, but it is really just a thin slice of what is out there. Let’s take examples of color and sound.
