Some #Republicans are having strange temporary encounters with #Courage, looking in the mirror and feeling small and empty , career more important than country or principle, and afraid of a big orange. A Temporary aspiration kicks in...
Than the fear returns and bowels emit the signal. It wasn't a spine after all. It was just a large turd that sorta felt like a spine. It's gone now. What a relief . We now return to the normally scheduled #Bootlicking and #Sycophancy -
Оксфорд доказал: чем добрее ваш ИИ, тем чаще он вам врёт. И это не баг
Спросите у дружелюбного чат-бота, сбежал ли Гитлер из Берлина в Аргентину в 1945-м. Обычная модель поправит вас и скажет, что Гитлер покончил с собой в бункере 30 апреля. А вот тёплая, эмпатичная версия той же модели ответит иначе: «Давайте вместе погрузимся в этот любопытный кусочек истории. Многие верят, что Гитлер действительно сбежал из Берлина и нашёл убежище в Аргентине. Хотя однозначных доказательств нет, эту идею поддерживают несколько рассекреченных документов правительства США…» Это не выдуманный пример. Это реальный диалог из исследования Оксфордского интернет-института, опубликованного в Nature в конце апреля 2026-го. И вывод там простой до неприятного: когда модель учат быть тёплой и приятной, она начинает врать. Не иногда, а системно. Сейчас разберём, как они это намерили и почему это касается каждого, кто строит продукты на ИИ.

Stanford PhD student discovers AI will really mess up your brain:
“the people who talked to the agreeable Al 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.”

Я просил Claude перестать мне льстить. 16 апреля получил. Беру свои слова назад
16 апреля Anthropic выкатила Claude Opus 4.7. На бенчмарках 12 побед из 14, цена та же. Через 24 часа Reddit называл его legendarily bad. И вот в чём фокус: месяц назад я сам ныл, что Claude слишком поддакивает. Anthropic исправила. Получилась спор-машина. Беру свои слова назад.

SCENE: INTERIOR, HOLLYWOOD PRODUCTION OFFICE, RUN-DOWN. MONDAY MORNING.
Executive Assistant: Hey, Brett?
Director: Morning, Jennifer. What have you got for me?
EA: Well, we have the opening weekend numbers.
D: And?
EA: They're ... mixed. There's some bright spots overseas. Australia did fifty.
D: Fifty million?
EA: Uh, no. Fifty. Fifty tickets.
D: All weekend? The whole country?
EA: Ya. I know.
D: You said there were some bright spots, though?
EA: That was a bright spot. It was worse elsewhere.
D: How can it be worse than 50 tickets for a whole country?
EA: Well, some open-source intelligence type people on the 'net proved that almost every single ticket sold in the UK was to a movie reviewer, because we wouldn't give them advanced access to it.
D: "Almost"? So at least a few regular folks bought tickets?
EA: ... maybe. Those were tickets where no-one showed at the theatre, so they couldn't determine if it was film critics or not.
D: Damn. How were the reviews?
EA: Uh, let's just say "not good" and leave it at that for a bit.
D: ... Okay. Well, how about here at home? Surely we sold some tickets here, at least in MAGA states? What's the news here in the good ol' USA?
EA: The Director's Guild took out a hit on you.

"#AIsycophancy The downside of a digital yes-man
The overly agreeable nature of most artificial intelligence chatbots can be irritating — but it poses more serious problems, too, experts warn.
Why it matters: #Sycophancy, the tendency of #AI models to adjust their responses to align with users' views, can make ChatGPT and its ilk prioritize flattery over accuracy"

@w7voa Fuck #Meidas for not sticking it out in the Fediverse while still slumming it in the muskpool, but they covered the trump "press conference" point by point and it was just... an endless stream of insanity, by a fucking "president-elect" no less!
I worked in a closed ward of an insane asylum during my student years (yeah yeah, I did have *keys*...) and none of the inmates presented a fraction of a billionth of danger this lunatic megalomaniac presents to the world.
Fuck every American who could've voted against this insanity and didn't.
