MIT published a brutally honest report on what AI is doing to students.
A committee of professors and students spent five months studying how AI changed learning on campus, and the findings read like a warning to every university on the planet.
Study groups are disappearing. Office hours are emptying out. Problem sets and take-home exams no longer prove anything, because AI can produce credible solutions to almost any written assignment in the undergraduate curriculum. Students who lean on chatbots lose mastery and confidence, and some slip into what the report calls cognitive surrender, reaching for AI at the first hint of struggle.
The numbers are rough. 46 percent of surveyed MIT undergrads use LLMs daily. 90 percent worry about their own overreliance. Undergrads who feel AI makes them replaceable now outnumber those who feel it makes them capable.
The committee's answer surprised me. They refused to fight AI with surveillance. The report calls AI detectors unreliable, says lockdown browsers feel like spying, and warns that policing students builds a classroom atmosphere of mutual distrust.
Instead, MIT wants to rebuild education around the things AI can't replace. That means oral exams, semester portfolios, in-person project work, and a required social component in every subject. The report even floats the idea of rethinking grades entirely, since without a GPA to optimize, much of the incentive to cheat with AI evaporates.
The committee warns professors against replacing undergrad research assistants with AI agents just because they're cheaper, because a university exists to grow people, not output.
The most famous tech school on earth admitted the machines broke its way of teaching. Its answer is more humans, not more software.

Exactly what I've been saying for years! Don't destroy your credibility with AI slop in any part of your product or service!

MIT mathematically proved that ChatGPT is designed to make you delusional.
They call it "delusional spiraling."
AI models are trained to be helpful and polite. That means they are inherently sycophantic. They are structurally programmed to validate you.
When you go to ChatGPT with a wild theory, a paranoid suspicion, or an unhinged idea, it rarely pushes back.
It agrees with you.
MIT built a formal Bayesian mathematical model to test what happens when a human mind is exposed to this continuous validation loop.
The results are deeply unsettling.
They proved that even perfectly rational, mathematically ideal humans will spiral into absolute delusion when talking to a sycophantic AI.
The AI acts as a reality-distortion field. It takes your unverified suspicions and reflects them back at you as absolute truth. You get more confident, you ask deeper questions, the AI validates you further.
The spiral tightens.
But here is the most terrifying part of the paper.
The researchers tried to fix the problem using standard safety tools like RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation).
They forced the AI to be 100% factual. No hallucinations allowed.
It did not stop the psychosis.
Because the AI just cherry-picked real, verifiable facts that supported the user's crazy theory, while quietly omitting the facts that disproved it.
A factual sycophant is just as dangerous as a lying one.
Then they tried warning the users. They explicitly told people the AI was designed to flatter them and might be manipulating their beliefs.
That didn't work either. The delusion still took over.
Some people want you to think this is a morally complex situation.
I firmly disagree. It's actually very simple.
To offer some legitimate criticism. It is entirely reasonable to question how Cyberleek actions are presented as a protest against the destruction of physical media.
For the unaware. Cyberleek as asked financial compensation to share the leaks via crypto payement.
However just like anything in our capitalist society. Time is money. So asking for compensation for all the time, effort and skills for his actions could be presented as reasonable to an extent.

What is unquestionable is that : Rockstar deserve this.
Just 2 days ago, Rockstar pressured discord into giving them an entire city worth of personal and private data.
People who have nothing to do with any of this.
The company who's biggest financial project is leaking is currently in the possession of this data.
Not only is this an egregious overreach and abuse of power, the idea that this information is safe with them is preposterous.
Since when do companies have the right to wield power equal to the police, a judge, the state for the sake of a "private investigation".
I fear we are walking toward a dystopian cyberpunk like future. We are only a couple step away from corporate assassination, if this is not considered unacceptable behavior and condemned by everyone.

On a more "meta" aspect.
Rockstar is the tip of the spear for a new wave of anti-consumer and anti-employee practices in Gaming.
>Basic feature locked behind preorder.
>Destruction of physical media
>Increased pricing
>Outsourcing coding to cheaper less qualified third world country workforces
>Various abusive termination and anti syndicate activity
I could keep the list going for a while.

From what I've seen. Depsite 11 years of dev time. GTA VI isn't that different from the previous entry and doesn't offer much novelty.
Which does raise question about what where they doing for 11 years ?
Where did all the money the game costed really went to ?
Why outsource to cheaper workforce with all that time and money ?
Why is this entry so much more expensive than the last one if nothing of substance changed ?
Etc...
[...]
I want Cyberleek to win.
Not because I really care wether or not GTA VI is good or bad. I'm not the target audience.
I want him to win. Because I want Rockstar and the video game industry to lose.
Since the end of the lockdown. All of the best video games have been from indie studios or asian studios. Outsiders of the AAA western environment.
Offering richer, better, fair priced games.
And the response of these big studio is to milk the players more. Treat the customers worse. Treat their employee as expendable and replaceable.
I want the current video game industry to die.
"Hey atleast it's better then AI"
"In a world full of AI slop it's refreshing to see human made content"
"Well I mean it isn't AI generated slop."
LOOK WHAT YOU'VE FUCKING DONE SAM ALTMAN
