But, my surgery is scheduled for the week after next and I just want to get it over with now. I'm getting incredible care and all will be fine but I'm not engaging with much beyond audiobooks & jigsaws tbh. Dr Eric on duty. Nurse Pickle wondering when lunch is. ❤️❤️

So... I thought I should post something as I've had a few people notice I've been a bit quiet on here lately. About a month ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer - very early stage thankfully & the prognosis is excellent. I had a routine mammogram a week before Christmas …

Terrible. Terrifying.

🚨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.

Frabjous birthday surprise from my wife! Back in the dark mists of time my mum auditioned to be a soloist in the Morley College Choir. The tiny man in specs and a raincoat, sitting anonymously at the back, transpired to be Gustav Holst. He approved her voice.

Honoured that my Gwen John story, A More Interior Life, appears today as The Lonely Crowd Story of the Month. A favourite, this one. Am hoping to get to her current exhibition at the National Museum Cardiff. thelonelycrowd.org/2026/03/06/sto…

This is an astonishing collection of poetry. One I'll come back to often. Go and get a copy.

Happy publication day to Call Out Coyote, by @sethwieck! American Book Award winning author Shann Ray writes that “The poems of Seth Wieck’s debut collection declare an immanence of landscape and the infinities of love aligned with hard won wisdom. The stark clarity of the earth and the great beauty of the beloved’s body unify, composing poetry cycles of uncommon fortitude. A mystical conception of God and the daily realities of marriage, friendship, fatherhood. Birds and fences, the touch of a loving hand, the laughter of a friend, death and life in a gaze of generosity, the eyeteeth of animals and the talons of a deep resistance and even deeper hope—all is encompassed in the physical knowing that is Call Out Coyote, a collection that becomes a sanctuary to the reader, a cathedral of light, the golden hour on the great plains, and a notion of sky within the heart that lifts the soul toward what lies beyond us. These poems left me breathless with delight, broken by the sorrows of our collective shadow, and filled with immeasurable joy!” With original cover and interior art from Jack Baumgartner, Call Out Coyote is a testament to artistic friendship and collaboration, to the spirit of trust and faith that helps us helpless humans co-create beauty in a fallen and fragile world, to the mile markers that lead us safely home.
