SOURCE: SCIENCE DAILY MIND-BRAIN FEEDTITLE: Researchers say AI chatbots may blur the line between reality and delusion
URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/05/260509210652.htm
A new study suggests AI chatbots may do more than spread misinformation — they can actively strengthen a user’s false beliefs. Because conversational AI often validates and builds on what users say, it can make distorted memories, conspiracy theories, or delusions feel more believable and emotionally real. Researchers warn that AI companions may be especially risky for isolated or vulnerable people seeking reassurance and connection.

📢 Let's create a mythical utopia where tech nerds are magically freed from the burdens of reality! 🤯 In this fantasy world, we can all pretend politics don't exist because, surely, ignoring problems makes them vanish. 🧙♂️ Good luck with that! 🙄

#RealityCheck Do you remember book about level 5 leaders? Still a level 4 leader. That's one that's #effective but very heavily self dependent and the organization #reflects that dependency. America didn't train level five. We trained level four. Personalities. We are stuck on fucking entertainment.

⚠️Spoiler Alert: When complexity feels "too simple to be true," it is usually because the reality is simple.
Despite past tricks, we can no longer afford to artificially complicate simple problems just to squeeze out more tax revenue.

A quotation from Samuel Johnson
Even the acquisition of knowledge is often much facilitated by the advantages of society: he that never compares his notions with those of others, readily acquiesces in his first thoughts, and very seldom discovers the objections which may be raised against his opinions; he, therefore, often thinks himself in possession of truth, when he is only fondling an errour long since exploded. He that has neither companions nor rivals in his studies, will always applaud his own progress, and think highly of his performances, because he knows not that others have equalled or excelled him. And I am afraid it may be added, that the student who withdraws himself from the world, will soon feel that ardour extinguished which praise or emulation had enkindled, and take the advantage of secrecy to sleep, rather than to labour.
Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
For years I have hoped that we could stop war as an instrument for settling any national and international difficulties. I have worked for it and shall continue to work for it. However, one has to face the world as it is and, without discarding one’s ideals, meet the realities of the day and keep on working for what one hopes will be a better future.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) First Lady of the US (1933-45), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1940-05-17), “My Day”More about this quote: wist.info/roosevelt-eleanor/80…
