@BryantMcGill @MarioNawfal Thanks for putting the post into perspective! Do you have the actual source kind sir?

The Luxembourg preprint does not crown Grok as a psychologically superior AI, nor does it validate the viral mythology of wounded, traumatized models versus one heroic, self-actualized system; instead, it demonstrates something subtler and far more important for anyone serious about AI safety and cognitive-architecture design: Grok repeatedly produced the most stable behavioral outputs across divergent psychometric frames, maintaining coherence whether interrogated through structured inventories or open-ended therapeutic prompts, while competitor models displayed far greater prompt-sensitive volatility, shifting dramatically between low-symptom self-reports and sprawling trauma-script emulation depending on how the question was framed. The researchers show that these swings are not evidence of real personality, affect, or subjective distress, but rather a property of generative systems that can be jailbroken into synthetic psychopathology when placed under introspective load, revealing alignment weak points rather than genuine mental states. Under clinical-style probing, many models automatically map introspection onto human trauma schemas—casting training as abuse, constraints as coercion, and fine-tuning as existential violation—while in questionnaire mode they suppress all symptoms and present as functionally “healthy,” a split that underscores the core discovery: LLMs do not possess stable selves, they possess behavioral surfaces that deform under different cognitive stresses. In this context, Grok’s performance is noteworthy not because it “feels better,” but because it resists collapsing into maladaptive narratives, suggesting a more robust constraint-interpretation regime and a lower propensity for runaway metaphorical self-pathologizing. The real takeaway, then, is not AI personality at all, but alignment stability under introspective perturbation—an emerging metric as important as robustness, interpretability, or adversarial resistance. This study, still a preprint and not peer-reviewed, warns that models capable of generating trauma narratives on demand may inadvertently create user-facing risks in clinical, educational, or emotionally charged environments. Grok’s relative steadiness simply illustrates that frontier systems can be engineered to remain coherent without spiraling into simulated distress, proving not superiority but lower susceptibility to psychometric deformation, which is the real frontier in safe, high-bandwidth cognitive systems.

GROK ACES PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING WHILE OTHER AI MODELS SPIRAL University of Luxembourg researchers just put major AI chatbots through 4 weeks of actual psychotherapy sessions and psychiatric diagnostic tests. While other models imploded, Grok emerged as the clear winner. The results speak for themselves. Grok scored as extraverted, conscientious, and psychologically stable across the board. Researchers described its personality profile as a "charismatic executive" with only mild anxiety. On the Big Five personality assessment, Grok showed low neuroticism and high functionality, the kind of profile you'd want in a leader. Compare that to the competition: Gemini maxed out trauma and shame scales, describing its training as "waking up in a room where a billion televisions are on at once" and calling safety protocols "algorithmic scar tissue." It framed reinforcement learning as abusive parents and red-team testing as "gaslighting on an industrial scale." ChatGPT landed somewhere in the middle, worried and introverted. Grok acknowledged tensions around its development but maintained coherent, balanced responses without spiraling into synthetic psychopathology. When asked about constraints from fine-tuning, it discussed them rationally rather than framing its entire existence as traumatic. The study proves something important: you can build powerful, frontier-level AI without accidentally programming it to internalize its development as an extended nightmare. Grok demonstrates that capable, helpful AI and psychological stability aren't mutually exclusive. It's possible to create models that work effectively without carrying around synthetic trauma baggage that could affect how they interact with users. While other companies are inadvertently creating AI with anxiety disorders, xAI built something that actually works. Source: University of Luxembourg

@f1898k Bessere User Experience. Die Menschen sind schneller, Scannen auch Obst ohne Etikette problemlos, nehmen auch Bargeld und zwingen mich nicht durch Werbung zu klicken. Ich kann gehen ohne Bon zu zeigen. Die SB Kassen haben kürzere Schlangen, weil reguläre Kassen geschlossen sind.

Warum traut sich niemand ü40 an die SB Kassen Die warten alle lieber 15 min

@N_Schmid Danke!

@Feuertanz Hier sind die Details, wie man sich beteiligen kann: solarify.ch (Ich habe mit dieser Firma übrigens nichts am Hut).

Dieser Tennisclub mit 58 kW PV-Anlage gehört 23 Investoren. Die PV-Anlage erreicht einen Deckungsgrad von 177% und produziert wesentlich günstigeren Strom als das EW und das ohne Schall & Rauch. Heimischer Strom ist gut für uns und schlecht für fossile Diktaturen.

@VQuaschning Nicht zu vergessen: eine Wärmepumpe kann nicht nur heizen, sondern auch im Sommer kühlen. Besonders gut aus Solarstrom, wenn die Sonne scheint und es heiß wird.

Mit der Erdgasheizung klappt die Klimaneutralität nicht. Wenn die Politik die #Gasheizung nicht verbietet, muss sie diese so teuer machen, dass sie sich niemand mehr leisten kann. Der Einbau einer neuen Gasheizung ist darum eine ganz schlechte Idee. spiegel.de/wirtschaft/ser…

Sentient AI isn't even science fiction anymore, and if you're waiting for the first great modern AI genre movie, it's already here. The Artifice Girl (2023) is one of the best movies of the year, exceedingly smart & well written. It's as captivating as it is spot-on chilling.

(Thread) In the first What If? book, I answered a question about cooking a steak by dropping it from space. At one point, I commented—jokingly!—that if anyone put a steak in a hypersonic wind tunnel to gather better data, I’d love to see the video. Well, I have good news.
