there was something beautiful about library checkout cards because you could literally see the history of human curiosity attached to a book. like a tiny ghost trail of strangers connected by the same story.

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.

community college challenges every classist notion of education and academia and having access to it has changed my life. it should be preserved, supported, and destigmatized with everything we have. hard to name a more precious educational resource for those over 18.

Mamdani taxed the rich and suddenly libraries work, potholes get fixed, childcare exists, and workers get paid more.
That's why billionaires are losing it and want him gone!!!

完全に同意します。私もそれで「ジェンダー」や「人種・エスニシティ」を扱う授業をするときは、大学を問わず、「差別」とは何かを学術的に考えるところから始めています。ここでつまずいてしまうと、どんなテーマや内容を扱っても学生との話が噛み合わなくなってしまうので。

University leaders should push back on the assumption that it is their responsibility to prepare students for the workforce — instead of preparing them to have a rich ethical and intellectual life. Employers should be responsible for job training

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie is often culturally presented as a light coming-of-age tale about young womanhood, rather than one of the strangest, darkest novels of its time

[九州大学 下地理則 @shimojizemi]

Fランなど潰してしまえ、という口汚い言論をSNSで吐く人は、Fランとされる大学を潰してより良い社会を作るビジョンも合意形成能力もない。得体の知れぬ機嫌の悪さに基づいている。むしろ、その得体の知れぬ機嫌の悪さを社会問題にすべきだと思うし、大学教育がそれに寄与できる可能性すらある。

This is one reason that Toni Morrison reminds me of Nabokov, as I say in ON MORRISON.

Oprah once asked her, "Is it true that sometimes people have to read over your work in order to understand it, to get the full meaning?"

Morrison replied, "That, my dear, is called reading."

[ゲンヤ@『性／生をめぐる闘争』（明石書店） @GenyaFukunaga]

それほどご心配でしたら、「ジェンダー論の授業は履修するな」と助言すればよいのです。とはいえ、子は親の期待を裏切るものですし、学生の中には「親がトランス／同性愛に差別的な考えを持ってて、生きていくのがつらい」と書いてくる人が後を絶ちません。そうした事実はぜひ知ってもらいたいですね。

「変なLGBTを教えなくていい」とか言われてますけどね、
実際に私が講演に行った学校では、大抵、数人の生徒から私宛に悩みのメッセージが届くんです。

話題の性質上、他の大人には話しにくいので、私にSOSの声を送ってくるんです。
それだけでも、学校で教える意味はあるんですよ。

名古屋市の東片端にある巨大なクスノキ
です。道路の真ん中にそびえ立つため、伐採すると祟りがあるなどの噂もありますが、実際には地元住民から大切にされており伐採の話が出てきた時もそれを断固阻止したのは近隣住民でした。つまり祟りよりも住民パワーのほうが強かったということですな。

この暴露は知られるべき。 NHKが国会前デモを撮影編集しVTRを完成させていたが、直前になって放送内容変更。現場に変更理由は知らされなかった。 政治的公平性を理由に逃げるが、だったら「燃えろサナエ」を歌詞テロップまでつけて流すという超ド偏向報道をNHKが垂れ流してるのはどうなんだという話。

このChatGPTが引用している研究例のCarlo Danelon 氏はただの学部生で専攻はイタリア現代文学です。まさにこれゆえに、私は学生にAIを使わないようにと指導しているわけです。ちなみに先生が私の学部の授業でこれを提出された場合、落とします。いいかげんしてください。

注文した紅茶を一口飲んだ森茉莉が
「これ紅茶？」
「どうやって淹れてるの？茶葉はなに？」
「それは駄目よ。日本茶だって淹れ方があるでしょ。茶葉はプリンス・オブ・ウェールズにして。4分蒸らすのよ。ミルクは無糖コンデンスミルクで…」
と、マスターにあれこれと注文をつけて出来上がったのが、今では世田谷邪宗門の看板メニューとなっている「森茉莉ティー」。
