This might be the most disturbing AI paper of 2025 ☠️
Scientists just proved that large language models can literally rot their own brains the same way humans get brain rot from scrolling junk content online.
They fed models months of viral Twitter data short, high-engagement posts and watched their cognition collapse:
- Reasoning fell by 23%
- Long-context memory dropped 30%
- Personality tests showed spikes in narcissism & psychopathy
And get this even after retraining on clean, high-quality data, the damage didn’t fully heal.
The representational “rot” persisted.
It’s not just bad data → bad output.
It’s bad data → permanent cognitive drift.
The AI equivalent of doomscrolling is real. And it’s already happening.

From having no CT followers(wasn't posting) to getting banned in infinity gains for spamming back in 2021
To building a small following and getting appreciated by the guy himself.
The future feels brighter.
Nuked my whole portfolio this year on Solana and finally got my confidence back on bnb.
The chain where it all started for me(back in 2020 too)
Lets gooooo.

If you're trenching but not posting or actively taking part in CT.
Do it. Just do it. Start bagworking and creating content.

Let's get scanning.
All it takes is one coin to change your whole game.
Tag me in stuff if you find it. I usually check all tags.
If I don't reply it's usually cause I don't dig it(I can be wrong sometimes)
But I do check and I appreciate your tags.
