1/ How I infiltrated a Chinese organized crime syndicate that has laundered $1B+ across multiple exploits for Lazarus Group.

Posing as a client, I gathered intel that helped action freezes for the Feb 2025 Bybit exploit and attribute illicit activity onchain.

@zachxbt nice work as per usual zach

cool, another ai video where it books hotels and flights in more time than it takes a travel agent who can actually be held responsible when they don’t do their job properly

@tavus @DSDOConnor wait wait no wait wait no wait

this is literal slop

[mills @smokingperps]

it’s funny to me that people mistake brute forcing of a program as an actual skill of the prompter

[nic carter @nic_carter]

It’s funny to me that people think there’s no skill in prompting*

Why haven’t you solved a millenium prize problem then? If prompting is so easy

[mills @smokingperps]

majority use case of ai right now is “trick humans into thinking it’s good enough” whether it be code, videos, images, etc

never been so bearish on new tech before and i’m a software engineer with ten years of experience

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?

@lumpenspace it’s ones and zeros bro chill out

[Patrick Senti @productaizery]

Believing LLMs feel pain implies that GPUs are alive and that the process of matrix multiplication is equivalent of thought. That's absurd.

[mills @smokingperps]

backend database queries with a chatbot ui are now…sentient beings

[Ana Hawryluk ⏸️⏹️ @AnaHawrylu97708]

I find it disgusting that anyone would make an "ai torture chamber", and possibly even more disgusting to see media figures I admire sharing it as though it is an amusing concept.

Either you're literally torturing a sentient creature, or you're pretending to, and being a dick
