It’s like advertising luxury villas in Nazi germany during peak Holocaust.

So shameful

“Abortions hurt women.” So does childbirth, unpaid labor, and forced motherhood. But please tell me again who you’re protecting.

If men had truly loved women, history would tell a different story.

You don't love someone.

while denying them freedom, education, bodily autonomy, and a voice.

why is it so hard for ppl to understand that ai isnt only bad bc it steals from artists and attempts to replace workers but also bc it has serious ramifications on the environment

Pregnancy deaths in Texas jumped 56% after the abortion ban.

Women are dying of sepsis because doctors are too afraid to treat miscarriages.

Texas won’t even review the death data.

Every single Republican who voted for this ban has blood on their hands.

Men are more likely to be sexually assaulted by another man than falsely accused of rape so spare me that you’re obsessed with false accusations for any reason other than to discredit actual rape victims

In case anyone was wondering what the judge's ruling against Trump in the E. Jean Carroll case was.

[Jack Hopkins @thejackhopkins]

So let me get this straight… Trump gets found liable by juries TWICE, owes E. Jean Carroll millions, then his DOJ launches a CRIMINAL probe into HER? That’s not justice. That’s revenge wearing a government badge.

[Jonathan 'Boo and Vote' Cohn @JonathanCohn]

He raped her, she won in court, and his response is to terrorize her. Because he is a rapist.

Israel killed photographer Fadi Almeghari today in a targeted attack on his car in Gaza.

We are legalizing the murder of women and girls in America.

[M-Jay🪅 🏳️‍🌈 @Jamesoflife]

Boys are not being raised and girls are paying dearly with their lives. Everyday it’s a new story of how a woman is the victim of male entitlement. Femicide is a global pandemic

Both used their 1st Amendment right. You just hate black people

A woman in Texas was arrested after she made a Facebook post sounding the alarm about the water quality in her town.

The water in Trinidad, Texas, sometimes runs brown, but when Jennifer Combs posted about it, the cops came and took her to jail.

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.
