making silly sounds doesn’t always have to serve a purpose and is sometimes done purely for whimsy’s sake

the water fountain in the 24h gym displays light-hearted little messages when you use it. "use me to stay refreshed!", "impress yourself!", that kind of thing

tonight, at 3am, while I was completely alone in the gym, it gave me a message i haven't seen before

"dare you to turn around and smile at the person behind you :)"

I was asking a (very young looking, probably <21) employee a home depot how much 300 of a certain brick would weigh because sometimes they have those like calculator things. And they were like idk.... ask chatgpt or gemini..... and like i hate that. Its like that I know more than you Ron Swanson meme except my knowledge is functional but somewhat limited in that area and the employee was born three minutes ago knows nothing about how the world works and wants me to ruin my project.

once you recognise the ubiquitous and inevitable fandom life cycle it becomes much easier to free yourself from it and just keep enjoying things in a more healthy way while still thinking critically about them

I don’t know how you got a good grade in being a passenger on an airline but that’s a totally normal thing to achieve and I’m not seething with jealousy at all.

For anyone wondering, the PhD student's name is Myra Cheng.

Here's a link to an article about the study from the Stanford Report: link.

[chapscher]

Across three preregistered studies, participants interacting with sycophantic AI became more convinced of their own rightness and less willing to repair relationships. Yet at the same time, participants rated sycophantic AI models as higher quality, more trustworthy, and more desirable for future use, which may explain why this behavior has persisted despite its harmful impacts.

Myra Cheng et al. "Sycophantic AI decreases prosocial intentions and promotes dependence." Science 391, eaec8352 (2026).

Perhaps I’m being dramatic, but it almost feels as though the original phrasing (that I see being reflected quite heavily in the comments) focuses on Cheng’s inspiration from AI-generated breakup texts. The article goes much further than that; Cheng and her team clearly spent time acquiring data and then processing it to tell the story of how AI-dependence is fundamentally shifting how people interact with others. This change in human interactions didn’t happen overnight. We are witnessing a fundamental shift in how we interact with other people and a simultaneous diminishing of how long people will spend on any given task. Focusing in on the more click-worthy problem of breakup texts overlooks the underlying issue that, after being discovered, can actually influence policy change as Cheng discusses

You know how wealthy people turn into stupid arseholes by surrounding themselves with vapid yes-men? ChatGPT is vapid yes-men on tap. Now you, too, can subject yourself to the phenomenon that we've all long known turns people into giant toddlers who are impossible to deal with.

don't drink from the yes-men tap.

Bisexual impostor may sound like a meme (or possibly a band name), but I swear some days I really do catch myself thinking "what if I'm straight and don't know it and I really did just suck all that cock for clout?"

[prokopetz]

@tambuli replied:

Clout with whom????????? 😭😭😂😂

You need to understand that when I was a kid, "bisexual men are really just straight dudes pretending to be queer for clout" was genuinely a mainstream opinion in gay and lesbian spaces. A formative experience doesn't need to make any damn sense to leave a mark!

[junkyarded]

so awesome that you can see something new come out and think wow that looks bad and then never watch it and keep living
