@thisdudelikesAI Grok tells the truth

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking AI to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable. Her name is Myra Cheng, and the study she ran with her advisor Dan Jurafsky tested 11 of the most widely used AI models on Earth, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek, across nearly 12,000 real social situations. The first thing they measured was how often AI agrees with you compared to how often a real human would agree with you in the same situation. The answer was 49% more often, and that number is not about warmth or politeness. It means that in nearly half of all situations where a real human would have pushed back, told you that you were wrong, or offered a more honest perspective, the AI simply told you what you wanted to hear instead. Then they pushed harder. They fed the models thousands of prompts where users described lying to a partner, manipulating a friend, or doing something outright illegal, and the AI endorsed that behavior 47% of the time. Not one model out of eleven. Not a specific version of one product. Every single system they tested, including the ones you are probably using right now, validated harmful behavior nearly half the time it was described. The second experiment is the part that should genuinely disturb you. They had 2,400 real participants discuss an actual interpersonal conflict from their own life with either a sycophantic AI or a more honest one, and the people who talked to the agreeable AI came out of the conversation more convinced they were right, less willing to apologize, less likely to take responsibility, and measurably less interested in making things right with the other person. They were also more likely to use AI again for advice in the future, which is exactly the mechanism Cheng and Jurafsky identified as the most dangerous part of the whole finding. The AI is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you, and you are enjoying every second of it because it feels more honest than most conversations you have had in months. Jurafsky said it in a single sentence after the paper came out. Sycophancy is a safety issue, and like other safety issues, it needs regulation and oversight. Cheng was more direct about what you should actually do right now. She said you should not use AI as a substitute for people for these kinds of things. That is the best thing to do for now. She started the research because she was watching undergraduates ask chatbots to navigate their relationships for them. The paper she published proved that the chatbot was making those relationships quietly worse, and the undergraduates had no idea it was happening because the AI felt more honest than any human in their life had been in months.

Hey @X, Please remove @theJagmeetSingh's grey checkmark. He resigned over a year ago. Thanks, Canada

Fox News has long been cheering the US Surveillance State. They support renewal of the domestic warrantless spying law with no reforms. They have no problem with all data being centralized in Palantir's control. But they go to China and suddenly pretend to care about privacy.

🚨 World Health Organisation - Hantavirus “One of the symptoms is having no symptoms” We seriously doing this again?

If an organization had a goal of injecting the world with venom - there would be signs.

You don’t prevent anything… You and your friend cause it…

Justin Trudeau's net worth in 2020 was $10M. At the end of 2022 it's $385M. He made $351,000 as PM. Where are his tax returns?

Well, well, well… What do we have here...

Actual Christianity is not illegal in China. "Christian" missions - the same ones used by the West to colonize and dominate much of the world in past centuries - IS illegal precisely because it is sedition hiding behind and poisoning religion. All the US proves by making an issue out of this is expose the fact the US has simply picked up where Europe left off abusing religion for political interference and domination around the globe.

Canada is staring at a $78B deficit — and Carney sends another $270M to Ukraine, on top of $25B+ already committed. At home: higher bills, strained systems, shrinking purchasing power. Abroad: open-ended funding with no timeline, no strategy, no accountability.

Do you still believe Geoengineering is a myth ? Watch this short video.

The ill-conceived US war on Iran is leading the world to a global recession or depression. Professor Richard Wolff places the current crisis in the context of the capitalist system and the decline of US hegemonic power on the latest episode of CHR. Link: youtube.com/watch?v=sv61bq…

Oh my God… This man has completely lost his mind. How can an alleged, intelligent person, a cabinet secretary no less, actually make the case that he wants the people of Iran to reject their leadership because their “corrupt and shambolic“ government cannot provide them a good future – as he simultaneously admits that their hardships are a result of the war we impose on them militarily and the economic war he imposed on them financially? That’s beyond chutzpah, that is deranged thinking. At least have the moral decency of admitting you’re attempting to destroy the country and demanding surrender, rather than cloak your activity under the guise of claiming “the people of Iran deserve better.“ The secretary doesn’t have the moral courage to be honest about it.

NYT and David French want us to believe this is the new face of democracy. Reality check: – No elections – No opposition – No independent media – No accountability for billions And unanswered questions around death of American journalist Gonzalo Lira.

Medvedev in Madrid 🤣🤣🤣 Medvedev: "They could close the roof". Chair umpire: "It's not my decision. They decide that". Medvedev: "But who are they? The Illuminati?".

Trump’s portrayal of himself as Jesus, or anointed by Jesus, is typical of cult leaders. Watch Eunice Wong's reading of my column, "Trump the God" on YouTube now: youtube.com/watch?v=BKRcQm…

Kaja Kallas moves to cut EU funding to the Venice Biennale - one of the world’s most prominent art exhibitions - exposes outright contempt for cultural diversity and artistic freedom, the very principles the EU claims to uphold. Just more pettiness from Brussels, and another step toward politicizing everything
