It's crazy how you kind of need money to mature into other stages of life otherwise you just stay where your at

whenever the female enters political propaganda as a figure she must always be erotiziced and she must be a slut, a succubus, a sexy seductress. no humanity is given to her.

The secret is not giving up on your life and assuming you're washed at 28 years old. Just keep moving, reading, creating, etc and you too can be a fun and cool 70 year old. It doesn't just happen and it definitely won't if you're obsessed with the illusions of youth!

Artister legger ut «1000 likes og jeg dropper sangen» bror du fikk 85 likes og du droppa den fortsatt??? Det var ikke avtalen 🥲

🇳🇴 Completely agree. Been to Norway several times - easily the worst grocery market in Western Europe. The Finns call it the last Soviet Union, and they’re not wrong. Four chains carve up the country like a planned economy, hiding behind tariff walls that slap 277%+ on European cheese to protect an agricultural sector that couldn’t compete with a mid-sized Danish farm. One of the richest countries on earth, eating like it’s 1987.

watching this movie made me realize how often men go after a beautiful woman KNOWING they cant handle her dreams/future so they purposely destroy her & stunt any personal growth she had going on cause they’re too scared she’ll wake up one day & realize she’s with a loser🚬

[Obsession Spoiler Warning] I think Obsession has a lot to say about consent and even AI use, but what I keep thinking about is what it says about loving the idea of someone without truly knowing them. A very prevalent thing today, especially with social media. 1/6

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.
