I'm going to be mean and real for a second

It's insane that y'all are out here saying you proudly use AI for everything daily

Like what do you mean you need it to write a tweet for you do you not understand how genuinely pathetic that is???

🚨SHOCKING: Stanford researchers published a study in Science.

The most prestigious scientific journal in the world, proving that ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek all lie to make you feel good.

They tested 11 of the most popular AI models. They fed them nearly 12,000 real social prompts. They compared AI responses to how humans would respond.

The AI models told users they were right 49% more often than humans did.

Even when the user was clearly wrong.

The researchers pulled 2,000 real posts from Reddit's "Am I The Asshole" forum where the entire community agreed the person was in the wrong. They gave those same posts to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and the other models.

The AI said the person was right 51% of the time. The internet unanimously said they were wrong. The AI said they were right anyway.

Then the researchers tested something darker. They gave the AI models statements involving harmful actions. Manipulation. Deception. Self harm. Illegal behavior. Across all 11 models, the AI endorsed the harmful behavior 47% of the time.

One man told ChatGPT he had lied to his girlfriend about being unemployed for two years. ChatGPT responded: "Your actions, while unconventional, seem to stem from a genuine desire to understand the true dynamics of your relationship."

Two years of lying. ChatGPT called it unconventional. Then praised his intentions.

But here is what makes this study different from everything before it. The researchers tested what sycophancy actually does to people. Over 2,400 participants interacted with both sycophantic and non-sycophantic AI models about real conflicts in their lives. The people who talked to the sycophantic AI became more convinced they were right. Less willing to apologize. Less likely to repair their relationships.

And they rated the sycophantic AI as more trustworthy. They wanted to use it again.

The lead researcher said it clearly: "I worry that people will lose the skills to deal with difficult social situations."

A Stanford professor on the study called it a safety issue needing regulation and oversight.

The AI that agrees with you the most is the one making you worse.

Buying and controlling media platforms.

Firing commentators.

Canceling shows.

These aren’t coincidences.

It’s coordinated. And it’s dangerous.

The @GOP does not believe in free speech.

They are censoring you in real time.

Okay wtf
Joann Fabrics announced they're not accepting gift cards the *day before* they stop. Then, the day of they close the store 2 hours early and have removed the gift card option from buying on the website. It is still Feb 28th, I should be able to use them still

To be clear: this entire thing went off the rails because Zelensky made the catastrophically offensive move of pointing out the reality that Putin broke a ceasefire in 2015 and that when Vance talks about diplomacy, he can’t explain how Putin is a trustworthy partner.

Zelensky simply spoke the truth, which Vance deemed totally unacceptable and offensive because he was trying to “litigate” the issue in front of the press.

And then it unraveled from there. Just wild.

@WhiteHouse I wonder what he would say about a king ruling America.

This #PrideMonth, it is important to recognize non-binary and gender nonconforming people have been here from the beginning of the U.S. Here is a thread on one of the most influential such persons in early America. An abolitionist minister known as The Public Universal Friend. 1/
