I believe this one. Today I learned the owner of the WTC had it insured against terrorism just 6 weeks prior to its collapse and made $4.55 billion. I had a chat with the AI about probabilities and it doesn’t paint a good picture.
Comment on What are the most popular conspiracy theories?

9/11 was an inside job. There’s a belief that elements within the U.S. government orchestrated the attacks.

If only ai didn’t get its information from people like us casually chatting on the internet, then passes off everything we say as fact.

It had been the target of less permanent terrorism multiple times before that.

Discussing conspiracies is basically the worst case for mainstream LLMs. They’re both extremely sycophantic (so they try to figure out and tell you what you want to hear), and not grounded in real references.
If you must, use something like z.ai’s deep research mode, with a single even, neutral question.

So is z ai an ai which uses more critical thinking patterns to make it better?

It’s GLM 4.6 underneath, which is a good model and has a really helpful “default” tone without a system prompt. And it’s open weights! I host it locally, sometimes.
But what really sets the website apart is its “deep research” tool, specifically. It’s just good at scouring the web for references, relatively speaking.

The guy set up the insurance for the building he just purchased that had a terrorist attack in 1993. Of course he got insurance for terrorism for a building he just purchased that was a target for terrorists.

I think the US government knew about it, maybe not exactly orchestrated it, but they intentionally allowed it to happen to justify expanding powers.
I mean like… I only believe this 60% true, there’s 40% of me that think government is just this incompetent.

I think even that gives them too much credit. It’s just incompetence.
The US “did 9/11” by interfering with global affairs for decades until one of those schemes finally backfired.
I don’t think there’s any conspiracy necessary beyond that to explain everything.

I’ve seen a clip from a Long Kiss Goodnight (1996) that describes the motive weapons companies could have for it very well, the government wasn’t necessarily involved but I believe some of the elite definitely were.

there certainly were a lot of suspiciously timed, and very risky, trades before the crashes
