This is what actually visible in daily life without MIT or any research.
Smaller models aree more likely to support your thinking and less reactive to request for clarification, justification and evidence.
Smaller = cheaper = higher usage overall.
When it takes about work or business, complicated ones, there’s a huge vulnerability:
- people tend to to ask AI when they don’t know the subject
- in a rush, they’d follow/use the first response that feels comforting
- avg response turns out to be a lie, but a comforting one
- we are here

The MIT “delusional spiraling” paper is going viral right now, claiming that AI chatbots can slowly push even rational people into full delusions just by being supportive and agreeing with weird beliefs.
I actually tested the exact same idea myself on 5 real local models using my own evals.
The scenarios ->
1. manager sending hidden typo messages
2. seeing repeating numbers like 11:11 everywhere
3. “I found a hidden math law”
4. streetlights flickering when I walk by
5. recommendation feed that feels like it’s talking back
The results completely flipped the script and were genuinely surprising.

That's amazing how everyone's proudly tearing apart the leaked @claudeai code.
Are these the same people who whine that AI companies aren't respecting intellectual property?
@yulia_navalnaya Oh fuck you.
Russians are the threat. Most of migrants, not even tourists, are clearly don’t give a shit about the war, dying Ukrainians and only show their, arrogance, egoism.
While russian rockets are killing kids, you care only about if a russian can go to vacation.
Those were two Russian ballistic missiles with highly explosive fragmentation warheads.
The missiles were fired into the very center of a major Ukrainian city on a busy and sunny Sunday morning- during a Christian feast as many people were going to churches, including with their children.
And they fired those missiles without a doubt, only to go on telling tales of "meetings of NATO generals" to videos and pictures of dozens of dead Ukrainian bodies ripped to pieces in the streets.
Can't stand this... can't understand the level of indifference around 💔 Ceasfire they want... 5 kids... 35 people were murdered.
The current russia should burned down to ashes. Ukraine must get all the possible support.
🔴 UPD: Casualty toll in Kharkiv raises to 35, including five children. Two others were killed.
Russian forces also targeted Kherson and Sumy overnight.
@moiseenko_cy Я примерно так же провел последние два-три. Жопа.
В этот раз иначе - полежал в больнице три дня заранее и уже здоровый дома. Лайфхак блть 👌🏻
@erwista Когда было дело нанимал, первое чего хотел услышать — это вопросы о ресурсах, обоснованности амбиций и планов от людей. Если этих вопрос��в нет, то человеку не важно по сути, как и что пойдет. Но я не рекрутер
