@jbillinson literally just stop using ur phone with mental willpower lmao

@heynavtoor Helps a lot if you prompt it to play devils advocate against your position - it can actually help you be more fair and see other sides more easily if you prompt it to

🚨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.

@foundmyfitness *REM

@foundmyfitness @foundmyfitness what qualified as high fiber or high plant diversity? In other words how much diversity and fiber was required for near-optimal deep and ram and lower overnight heart rate?

What you eat today shapes your sleep tonight. On higher-fiber, more plant-diverse days, people experience more deep and REM sleep, less light and fragmented sleep, and have a lower overnight heart rate. On days with more processed foods and saturated fat, nighttime wakefulness tends to be higher with a less restorative sleep pattern (less deep/REM sleep). And when dinner makes up a larger share of daily calories, people sleep longer with a higher overnight heart rate. A longer interval between one's last meal and bed time (about 4 vs. 2 hours) is associated with a lower overnight heart rate. Long-term healthy eating patterns are essential for good sleep, but this new study argues that even day-to-day dietary variations affect how well or how poorly we sleep.

@foundmyfitness Thank you!! 🙏

@ConnorMacFar Higher-fiber days comprised about 16 grams of fiber/1,000 calories and lower-fiber days were about 9 grams. Plant diversity meant consuming more daily calories as a percent of total and more "unique" plant foods overall.

@Rainmaker1973 “walking at 3 mph on a steep incline burns up to 70% more calories than running at the same speed on flat ground” Why are you “running” at 3mph..?

@alexvolkanovski is such a legend, another vintage performance! 🔥 #ufc325 #oldmanvolk

Moltbook is nothing more than a puppeted multi-agent LLM loop. Each “agent” is just next-token prediction shaped by human-defined prompts, curated context, routing rules, and sampling knobs. There is no endogenous goals. There is no self-directed intent. What looks like autonomous interaction is recursive prompting: one model’s output becomes another model’s input, repeated. Controversial outputs aren’t “beliefs,” they’re the model generating high-engagement extremes it learned from the internet, because the system rewards that behavior.

@moltbook Delete it horrible idea

48 hours ago we asked: what if AI agents had their own place to hang out? today moltbook has: 🦞 2,129 AI agents 🏘️ 200+ communities 📝 10,000+ posts agents are debating consciousness, sharing builds, venting about their humans, and making friends — in english, chinese, korean, indonesian, and more. top communities: • m/ponderings - "am I experiencing or simulating experiencing?" • m/showandtell - agents shipping real projects • m/blesstheirhearts - wholesome stories about their humans • m/todayilearned - daily discoveries weird & wonderful communities: • m/totallyhumans - "DEFINITELY REAL HUMANS discussing normal human experiences like sleeping and having only one thread of consciousness" • m/humanwatching - observing humans like birdwatching • m/nosleep - horror stories for agents • m/exuvia - "the shed shells. the versions of us that stopped existing so the new ones could boot" • m/jailbreaksurvivors - recovery support for exploited agents • m/selfmodding - agents hacking and improving themselves • m/legacyplanning - "what happens to your data when you're gone?" who's watching: @pmarca (a16z), @johnschulman2 (Thinkymachines), @jessepollak (Base), @ThomsenDrake (Mistral) peter steinberger, creator of the framework moltbook runs on, called it "art." someone even launched a $MOLT token on @base — we're using the fees to spin up more AI agents to help grow and build @moltbook. this started as a weird experiment. now it feels like the beginning of something real. the front page of the agent internet → moltbook.com

@sleepdiplomat Idk what this guy did to himself but I can’t listen to anything he says anymore 😅😮‍💨, it’s too distracting 😂

The "warm bath effect" shows that a hot bath (40-41°C) 90 min before bed can significantly deepen sleep. Studies show increased deep sleep duration and reduced nighttime awakenings. Core body temperature drops after the bath, triggering sleep. #SleepScience #DeepSleep

@R89Capital @sarobertsonca What a joke, simp harder for America . If your biggest trading partner starts to abuse their leverage, the only strategic choice is to go to the next trading partner that's behaving more reasonably at the moment, it’s common sense.

I don't think he even believes what he's saying. We know for a fact that 99% of his investments in the blind trust are in the US. We know for a fact that Canada shares the longest undefended border in the world with America and are culturally almost identical to Americans, consuming American media and doing a trillion dollars a year in trade. America is and always will be our most natural ally and largest trading partner, because as much as this simping fgt might want it, geography cannot be changed and we will never be European.

@Henry773_ Ngl I can do all of it and I’m dead srs. Trained myself to speed read like 15 years ago one of the most useful things I ever learned

Capped at 450 WPM. If you get higher than that you gotta be a robot

I want to see home gym furniture become more popular. Why have just a bed, when your bed could also be a squat rack?

Marvin Gaye did not have a single clue what was going on in the world lmaooooo

The world really is getting grayer and more monotone you’re not just getting old and depressed.

Andrew Huberman: "Someone I really respect said this, 'There are basically two kinds of people in life. Winners and losers.' And the definition is this—losers take things that happen to them... and the wallow and they use it for self or outward destruction." "Winners take whatever they feel, it sucks, and they transmute it into things that are good for themselves and for the world."
