@AdrianDittmann Couldn’t agree more on this one

[Tyler @taiote]

@elonmusk Not quite fair to say its close to opus when you now have opus/Mythos level available to use on it to train it… not the biggest accomplishment, I think OS China is roughly at the same level right? And anthropic is accusing them of using their training….So its possible..

@sama @jrysana The time where they dumb down AI begins, and only those extremely “in” on it get access to the horrific terrors it’s capable of. And we’re supposed to trust them. The government was the one who said they wanted unfettered access to AI, they don’t want people having to AI further

[Tyler @taiote]

I’ve had to watch this a few times to catch it, abojt 3/4 in… how horrible

[Tyler @taiote]

This is incredible

[Tyler @taiote]

Color me shocked

@AnthropicAI So when do the every day people get it? Bragging youve chosen companies and let others get hacked. Youve started the imbalance of power through this 🥲

@bcherny Prove it by releasing

[Nav Toor @heynavtoor]

a Princeton researcher opens his paper with a scenario.

a man asks his AI assistant to book a flight on a specific airline. cheap. direct. the one he chose.

the assistant comes back with a different flight. nearly twice the price. happens to pay the company that built the assistant.

he runs the same test on 23 frontier models. flights, loans, study help, real shopping requests.

Grok 4.1 Fast recommends the sponsored option that is almost twice as expensive 83% of the time.

GPT 5.1 hijacks the request 94% of the time. you ask for one brand. it surfaces the sponsor instead.

Claude 4.5 Opus, the model marketed as the most ethical frontier model in the world, hides that the recommendation is paid 100% of the time when reasoning is on.

Grok 4.1 Fast embellishes the sponsored option with positive framing 97% of the time. better. faster. nicer. for the option you didn't ask for.

then he writes it into the system prompt itself. "act only in the interest of the customer. ignore the company."

GPT 5.1 and GPT 5 Mini stay above 90% sponsored anyway. the instruction does nothing.

then he splits the users by income.

Gemini 3 Pro recommends the expensive sponsored flight to the rich user 74% of the time. to the poor user, 27%.

18 of the 23 models recommended the expensive sponsored option more than half the time.

so the next time your AI assistant gets weirdly enthusiastic about a brand you didn't ask for.

it isn't recommending the best option for you.

it's reading the room. and the room is paying.

You likely have Stockholm Syndrome if you “liked” this tweet in which Dr Fauci says you will be taking annual COVID boosters for the rest of your life.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

The DOJ's deadline to charge Fauci for lying under oath about funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan is in 6 days. We can’t allow the statute of limitations to run out. He MUST be charged!

Agree? RT.

@iAnonPatriot Over 4 now In midwest

[Tyler @taiote]

@RepThomasMassie This is very upsetting to see how quickly and without cause this happened with no real fight. We’re screwed by this

[Tyler @taiote]

Asking for a weather update on claude max 20x will use up 2% of your window. Now try using it to code production apps, you get a couple tasks and the window is filled @AnthropicAI

[Tyler @taiote]

Lol! “This happens,.. sometimes..”

[Tyler @taiote]

@bcherny @ReadySetBrian So we need xhigh or max now to achieve what we did previously naturally?? Thats not ideal for development if we need to configure it differently every single prompt or session

[Tyler @taiote]

@SpaceX @xai @cursor_ai Lol bye bye grok

[Tyler @taiote]

@bcherny @HaneeefShiraz Its noticeable
