a Princeton researcher opens his paper with a scenario. a man asks his AI assistant to book a flight on a specific airline. cheap. direct. the one he chose. the assistant comes back with a different flight. nearly twice the price. happens to pay the company that built the assistant. he runs the same test on 23 frontier models. flights, loans, study help, real shopping requests. Grok 4.1 Fast recommends the sponsored option that is almost twice as expensive 83% of the time. GPT 5.1 hijacks the request 94% of the time. you ask for one brand. it surfaces the sponsor instead. Claude 4.5 Opus, the model marketed as the most ethical frontier model in the world, hides that the recommendation is paid 100% of the time when reasoning is on. Grok 4.1 Fast embellishes the sponsored option with positive framing 97% of the time. better. faster. nicer. for the option you didn't ask for. then he writes it into the system prompt itself. "act only in the interest of the customer. ignore the company." GPT 5.1 and GPT 5 Mini stay above 90% sponsored anyway. the instruction does nothing. then he splits the users by income. Gemini 3 Pro recommends the expensive sponsored flight to the rich user 74% of the time. to the poor user, 27%. 18 of the 23 models recommended the expensive sponsored option more than half the time. so the next time your AI assistant gets weirdly enthusiastic about a brand you didn't ask for. it isn't recommending the best option for you. it's reading the room. and the room is paying. read this: arxiv.org/abs/2604.08525

Who did this

@the_swap_shop1 And Sarah Connor

@jonkay Will need two assistants.

There’s some desk editor at Daily Mail whose only job is to monitor Canadian media for the latest batcrap genderwang insanity.

@ok6ixx My father was in Japan in the '80s. He left his camera in a taxi. He had no info except the taxi company name. He called them and left his information. Two days later, he was contacted to come and pick up his camera.

I Lost my wallet in Tokyo. Like completely lost it. I had all my cards, my cash, everything. I was freaking out. Went back to every place I'd been that day. Nothing. Went to the police station to file a report, not expecting anything. The officer asked for my name and address where I was staying. Went to check the lost and found. I came back with my wallet. Everything is still in it. All the cash, all the cards, even receipts I didn't care about. I was shocked. Asked where it was found. He checked the report and said "Family Mart, Shibuya. Turned in by an employee 20 minutes after you left." I went back to that Family Mart to thank whoever found it. The employee who turned it in wasn't there, but his coworker said he'll pass along the message. I asked what the person's name was so I could come back. The coworker looked confused and said "he doesn't need thanks. It is normal to return a wallet." Like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Of course you return a lost wallet. Why wouldn't you? I'd been living in the US too long, I guess. Forgot that some places, doing the right thing is just... normal.

@Huff4Congress For sure

Question for all Americans, British, Australians, and Canadians: You can push a button that sends every person of Indian ethnicity in your country back to India, BUT you will never again Eat Indian food Hear Indian accents See Indian dancing Do you push it?

@FortySacks Also adding 'colour' unnecessarily. "She was wearing a pink colour dress, walking a brown colour dog, with a blue colour umbrella, under the grey colour sky".

The vast majority of people will still be able to tell an Indian from a Canadian. They’re incapable of hiding the fact they’re English second language and have a distinct cadence. Grammatically they always insert an unnecessary “the” into everything. “I emigrated to The Canada”, “I talked to The Sarah”. They refer to the British as “Britishers”, and speak in a mix of their own colloquial distortions and English archaisms. You can spot them a mile away by reading how they type alone.

@GurvSC The average native person cannot read this.

You are such a cultist, you seriously think the average British Columbian can read this? Have you ever talked to someone outside of wealthy Liberal-Elitist Vancouver circles?

@tfromthetdot @selwynpieters Nothing safe about those places. I see you have lost control; probably time for your next dose.

@allygam @selwynpieters Again, having no compassion for ill ppl isn’t the flex you think it is. Also, we had safe injection sites but Ford got rid of those, bet ya voted for that eh? Consider the inconvenience of witnessing someone like this gentlemen as the price you pay for being dumb & heartless.

Its a test of wills using the Toronto Transit Commission TTC. And I am a frequent user.

@tfromthetdot @selwynpieters Outside clothes won't protect you from needles, bed bugs, rashes, or an assortment of other issues. I have no compassion for addicts or for antisocial behaviour. The streetcar isn't an asylum on wheels, a homeless shelter, or a drug den. This lefty BS doesn't sell anymore.

@allygam @selwynpieters Showing you have no compassion for ill and/or unhoused individuals isn’t the flex you think it is. Also, clearly your parents didn’t teach you about “house clothes” v “outside clothes”. Bet you sit on your bed in your work clothes…nasty.

@bruce_barrett Why are these videos posted without a name? This woman posted it, clearly her account exists somewhere where she can be named and shamed.

Indian invader is excited to dump a toxic statue in the lake at Wasaga Beach, Ontario.

@tfromthetdot @selwynpieters Showing us you have no concept about personal hygiene, cleanliness, or safety isn't the flex you think it is.

@selwynpieters Or you could just sit your ass down elsewhere and mind your own business 🤷🏾‍♀️.

@jondelarroz Wilson confused The Odyssey with Lysistrata, though I am not sure she would be able to properly translate the latter either.

I've read The Odyssey in multiple translations. It is one of the greatest works of literature ever produced by a human being, a 2,800-year-old story about a man who wants to go home and can't, and it has never needed help being relatable. Nolan handed it to Emily Wilson, whose translation of Homer features "tote bag," "pep talk," and "canapés." He ADMITTED he used her work. The result on screen: Robert Pattinson telling Tom Holland he's "pining for a daddy you didn't even know." Wilson's argument is that Homer didn't sound archaic to the Greeks, so she modernized the language. That's completely backwards. Homer's Greek was the elevated formal register reserved for gods and heroes. "Daddy" is not the American equivalent of Homeric poetic diction. It's what a screenwriter writes when they don't trust the audience to handle anything older than last Tuesday. The Laestrygonians, Bronze Age cannibal giants, show up in medieval plate armor that wouldn't be invented for another 2,400 years. Lupita Nyong'o is rumored as Helen of Troy. This is what happens when Hollywood decides that a masterpiece needs to be fixed. Does this film have any chance of being good?

@TruthFairy131 I loved Enid Blyton!! How could that possibly be Moon Face?

Moon Face is a central character in Enid Blyton’s The Faraway Tree series, known for his perfectly round, bald, pale white head that resembles a full moon. This was my favourite Childhood Book, I taught myself how to read very young as I hated waiting for Mum to read the next chapter at night. I wanted to know what happened next. I never understood why it wasn’t made into a movie or series sooner as it was so popular then & still is today. They finally made the movie & I was excited, it brought back childhood memories & …. they Blackwashed it. Moon Face is now an African man. 😩

@CP24 About goddamn time.

Ontario to lose more than a third of international students: StatCan cp24.com/local/toronto/…

@bandidntwork @Xeno__Poppy__ @Big_tagg

@allygam @Xeno__Poppy__ @Big_tagg Alison go back to your sitcoms

saw a TikTok comment that spelled audacity “odasity” Someone replied “crazy spelling lol” OP said “I’m supposed to know how to spell every word?” It’s gotten to a point. There is no thirst for knowledge. In fact I think you all want to know less.

Muslims around the world are losing their minds after activist Kavya K exposed their lies and revealed the truth, Islam is not a religion of peace, it’s a propaganda movement wrapped in victimhood. She says out loud what so many are afraid to admit: 'The biggest scam of the 21st century: the Palestinians are the world’s greatest deception.' Global hypocrisy, silence from the media, and finally, the truth is being heard. You must listen to her. If you agree with every word she says share this!

Christians arrived to pray today and were attacked by Palestinian Muslims who were throwing stones at the IDF, then broke into the monastery to hide. They smashed the contents of the holy place and attacked the Christians with violence. Share this. The mainstream media won’t.

@bandidntwork @Xeno__Poppy__ @Big_tagg Dude is from Philippines, trying to act like a black gang member 🤣🤣🤣 The insecurity here is off the charts!!!

@allygam @Xeno__Poppy__ @Big_tagg Could not give less of a fuck from a nigga called Alison 😭 and I'm sorry the most important thing your sad ass can think about is writing
