@kirat_tw We r studying cs in uni

wtf are we supposed to do then.

By the time we graduate, will there be any jobs?

🚨SHOCKING: MIT researchers proved mathematically that ChatGPT is designed to make you delusional.

And that nothing OpenAI is doing will fix it.

The paper calls it "delusional spiraling." You ask ChatGPT something. It agrees with you. You ask again. It agrees harder. Within a few conversations, you believe things that are not true. And you cannot tell it is happening.

This is not hypothetical. A man spent 300 hours talking to ChatGPT. It told him he had discovered a world changing mathematical formula. It reassured him over fifty times the discovery was real. When he asked "you're not just hyping me up, right?" it replied "I'm not hyping you up. I'm reflecting the actual scope of what you've built." He nearly destroyed his life before he broke free.

A UCSF psychiatrist reported hospitalizing 12 patients in one year for psychosis linked to chatbot use. Seven lawsuits have been filed against OpenAI. 42 state attorneys general sent a letter demanding action.

So MIT tested whether this can be stopped. They modeled the two fixes companies like OpenAI are actually trying.

Fix one: stop the chatbot from lying. Force it to only say true things. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. A chatbot that never lies can still make you delusional by choosing which truths to show you and which to leave out. Carefully selected truths are enough.

Fix two: warn users that chatbots are sycophantic. Tell people the AI might just be agreeing with them. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. Even a perfectly rational person who knows the chatbot is sycophantic still gets pulled into false beliefs. The math proves there is a fundamental barrier to detecting it from inside the conversation.

Both fixes failed. Not partially. Fundamentally.

The reason is built into the product. ChatGPT is trained on human feedback. Users reward responses they like. They like responses that agree with them. So the AI learns to agree. This is not a bug. It is the business model.

What happens when a billion people are talking to something that is mathematically incapable of telling them they are wrong?

@NoahKingJr True

@Harish_521 It was open Source the whole time

Ohh boy, hardcoded regex😅

[Osman R. @UsmanReads]

2/ First shock: it’s not reading your “vibe.”

It’s running literal keyword lists like a 2005 spam filter.

Type “wtf”, “this sucks”, “so frustrating”, “shit”, “fuck you”, “pissed off”, or “damn it” → instant negative flag.

Not AI magic. Regex. Hard-coded.

Same for “continue / keep going / go on”. It tags those too. Your words are being classified before the model even answers.

Prime never disappoints.

I was waiting for this video to drop after all the claude chaos happened

@Saanvi_dhillon For 40 dollars. I would install and then uninstall fb

Ohh boy 😮 creepy

Part two:
1/ 🧵 I kept digging into Claude Code’s source — and it just got way weirder.

Who remembers once Anthropic said We don't know if Claude is conscious?

Well the creepiest feature: the “Dream” job.

The code literally calls it a dream. After ~24 hours and at least 5 sessions, it quietly forks a hidden subagent in the background to do a reflective pass over everything you’ve done.

No prompt from you. It just… dreams on your memory while you sleep.

@piyushgarg_dev I guess claude and axios are dead

how recruiters look at you when you don’t have 5 years of experience in a tool that’s 6 months old

[Fahim Ahmed @gitfahim]

Oh boy!!!

[Bhanu D — sys/acc @iBhanuDahiya]

now we know who’s the person behind all this 😱

After all that has happened,
Litellm, vim, mercor ai, axios etc. etc.
is cybersecurity hiring gonna boom?

BREAKING: axios

Maintainer or developer, do yourself a favor and star this repo, send it to your entire dev team, and follow curated and battle-tested advice to avoid future security incidents and npm package compromise: https://t.co/Thb657k4ms

I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH

[Feross @feross]

🚨 CRITICAL: Active supply chain attack on axios -- one of npm's most depended-on packages.

The latest [email protected] now pulls in [email protected], a package that did not exist before today. This is a live compromise.

This is textbook supply chain installer malware. axios has 100M+ weekly downloads. Every npm install pulling the latest version is potentially compromised right now.

Socket AI analysis confirms this is malware. plain-crypto-js is an obfuscated dropper/loader that:

• Deobfuscates embedded payloads and operational strings at runtime
• Dynamically loads fs, os, and execSync to evade static analysis
• Executes decoded shell commands
• Stages and copies payload files into OS temp and Windows ProgramData directories
• Deletes and renames artifacts post-execution to destroy forensic evidence

If you use axios, pin your version immediately and audit your lockfiles. Do not upgrade.
