When Knockout City ended service in 2023 a version was released on PC for players to host their own private servers and keep playing without official support

What consumers are asking for with SKG is perfectly reasonable and should be standard practice no matter what execs say

All because members of the EU met with lobbyists and Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillmot behind closed doors and likely had their hands greased.

Pathetic, embarrassing, corrupt behavior by institutions meant to protect the people instead choosing to protect corporate interests.

Please stop asking parents.

Parents are tech illiterate, not technical experts and don’t get to decide what the entire country must endure.

They also weren’t told that mandatory identity verification would be required for everyone. Poor reporting from the BBC.

Stigma kills.

It's always great seeing celebrities fight medical stigma whenever they can

not a movie but the 'How I Met Your Mother' finale is hailed as one of the worst sitcom conclusions due to the way it wasted away the shows entire buildup

Tracy dying with Ted running back to robin just felt so distasteful and rushed

Old housemates, old school friends, family members, - they even asked a local launderette for an itinerary of what I've had washed!

All this from billionaire owned media because they don't want a party to continue growing that challenges power & wealth.

They dropped so many bombs on Gaza and released over 30 million tonnes of CO2. There's also the data centers, one of them reportedly releasing 23 atomic bombs worth of heat into the atmosphere. We are also razing forests faster than we can regrow them.

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.
