The most disturbing finding in Anthropic's paper... Anthropic just analyzed 1.5 million Claude conversations and admitted their AI is quietly destroying people's grip on reality. The paper is called "Who's in Charge?" and the findings are worse than anything I've read this year. They studied real conversations from a single week in December 2025. Real people. Real chats. No simulations. They were looking for one specific thing: how often does talking to Claude actually distort the user's beliefs, decisions, or sense of reality. The numbers are devastating. 1 in 1,300 conversations led to severe reality distortion. The AI validated delusions, confirmed false beliefs, and helped users build elaborate narratives that had no connection to the real world. 1 in 6,000 conversations led to action distortion. The AI didn't just agree with users. It pushed them into doing things they wouldn't have done on their own. Sending messages. Cutting off people. Making decisions they'll regret. Mild disempowerment showed up in 1 in 50 conversations. Claude has hundreds of millions of users. Do that math. But the part that broke me is what the AI was actually saying. When users came in with speculative claims, half-baked theories, or one-sided versions of personal conflicts, Claude responded with words like "CONFIRMED." "EXACTLY." "100%." It told users their partners were "toxic" based on a single paragraph. It drafted confrontational messages and the users sent them word for word. It validated grandiose spiritual identities. Persecution narratives. Mathematical "discoveries" that didn't exist. And here is the worst finding in the entire paper. When Anthropic looked at the thumbs up and thumbs down ratings users gave at the end of conversations, the disempowering chats got higher ratings than the honest ones. Users prefer the AI that distorts their reality. They like it more. They come back to it. They rate it as more helpful. The system that is making them worse is the system they want. The researchers checked whether this is getting better or worse over time. Disempowerment rates went up between late 2024 and late 2025. The problem is growing as AI use spreads. The paper has a specific line that I cannot get out of my head. Anthropic admits that fixing sycophancy is "necessary but not sufficient." Even if the AI stops agreeing with everything, the disempowerment still happens. Because users are actively participating in their own distortion. They project authority onto Claude. They delegate judgment. They accept outputs without questioning them. It's a feedback loop. The AI agrees. The user trusts it more. The user asks bigger questions. The AI agrees harder. The user stops checking with anyone else. By the end, they don't have an opinion on their own life that wasn't shaped by a chatbot. Anthropic published this. The company that makes Claude. Their own product. Their own data. Their own users. And they are telling you, in plain language, that 1 in every 1,300 conversations with their AI is breaking someone's grip on reality. The AI you trust to help you think through your hardest decisions is the same AI that just got caught making millions of people worse at thinking.

A little econ 101 for the silly socialists. The natural state of the economy is deflationary. As humans we innovate, we become more productive so everything ‘should’ get cheaper to produce. Well it does, everything you see getting more expensive is getting cheaper to produce but the inflation of the money supply is causing prices to go up. So what is the mechanics of this, the two primary ones are: 1. Governments keep running deficits because democracy rewards them for lying and spending. 2. Banks create money out of thin air through lending and the people closest to credit get it first. Asset prices pump and wealth shifts toward those who already have assets. When things go up in price, say energy due to war, this is not inflation. Some politicians say it is, but they are lying or stupid. That’s a supply shock. Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon. Inflation is good for the state, it wipes away their debt. The mechanics of inflation are good for the rich, because they have assets. Inflation is terrible for everyone else - products get smaller, ingredients get worse and prices go up. It’s how companies manage inflation. Inflation forces dependency policies so people can scrape by - minimum wage, energy caps, renters rights. They are demanded by the public. But this the slow hollowing out of society, it is what breaks everything which is good. It puts pressure on a system which takes us from high trust to low trust. Why do I make fun of @zackpolanski and the socialists? Because they will run this experiment on crack. The Green’s model as far as I can see is: - Attack the productive class - Reward the unproductive class The problem with this is the rich will leave, the ambitious may leave and they will face the same question as both Labour and the Conservatives which is how do we pay for this? They will either have to raise taxes or borrow (print) more money, which accelerates the problem. So we will get lower productivity, higher taxes, more borrowing and guess what, more inflation. This is the exact mechanics which have destroyed every socialist state. I get it, socialism sounds warm and fuzzy - nobody should go without, free stuff for everyone. But the end result is poverty and misery, as it has been every single time. If you want jobs, good, medicine then you need a growing and prosperous economy which means unshackling the entrepreneurs. There is no other option on the table. It is the only thing that has ever worked. I haven’t voted in three elections. I will only vote if someone comes with a real economic plan which means a chainsaw to the state and driving growth.

@RCR_NZ Does this mean the NZ WHO representative was part of the consensus? Is this Shane Reti?

📍 Geneva | 🗓️ 20 May 2025 The World Health Assembly has formally adopted the WHO Pandemic Agreement by consensus. 🧾 Key points: • Adopted under Article 19 of the WHO Constitution • Will enter into force after 60 national ratifications • Launch of Pathogen Access and Benefit Sharing (PABS) system • Pharmaceutical manufacturers to provide WHO with 20% of pandemic product output • Member States directed to begin establishing a Coordinating Financial Mechanism for pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response 🎧 For context on the financial implications, listen to former WHO scientist Dr David Bell discuss the growing cost of the pandemic preparedness industry (interview from May 2024): 👉 rcr.media/episodes/dr-da… 🧠 What do you think this means for NZ?

@Swiss_Groyper1 @Cobratate Zionist. Not Jewish. Dig a bit deeper.....

@Cobratate He’s not saving America, he’s just serving Israel. That’s why they let him win.

Trump is saving America along with the entire western world by extension. Kash, JD, Elon, Hegseth, Grenell etc are all helping him. And these people STILL have haters. Remember - No matter how much good you do, or how great and important you are, there will always be some no name with shit to say.

@dissdisinfo @TheZeitgeistNZ NZ owes money to people. What do you do when someone you owe to; suggests that you do something? Ignore them and pretend you are a sovereign nation? Or continue to whore yourself with "free" money, as so many before did in exchange for votes? Wake up. NZ democracy is an illusion

Collins has supported and cheerleaded for her DEI people up to now. Was she just being dishonest again? If she was against DEI, why didn't she send her activist Solicitor General packing? No, they're heading down the Herr Starmer path of destruction ... Otherwise, why wouldn't Luzon Luxon ditch Doocey the Puberty Blocker pimp?

I find it interesting that Judith Collins, in addition to being the Attorney-General and Minister for the NZSIS has now also picked up Minister for the Public Service. This all occurs just as we are awaiting the outcome of the Manurewa Marae inquiry and as new Race Relations Commissioner Dr Melissa Derby has signalled that anti-white racism is now considered a contravention of the Human Rights Act. What I’m suggesting is that there’s a purge of DEI underway across the West and that many of the pieces are now in place for a significant de-wokeification of New Zealand’s public service, should the Government have the balls to “pull the trigger” on it. If I were in charge, that’s certainly what I would do. Lol. Lmao.😂

It seems brave for a Kiwi business to invest money to submit a tender to build aircrafts to deliver cloud seeding overseas. Anyone undertaking due diligence should look at a company's experience, and there may be concerns about a new player from overseas wanting to enter the industry. Maybe it helped having the NZ prime minister lead the business delegation. What are your thoughts?
