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.

I love engaging with art people recommend

[firebelliedtoad]

Genuinely cannot recommend this enough: read that book, play that video game, listen to that song, watch that movie, etc, etc, etc

Like it will make someone’s entire day if you get back to them about something they recommended, esp if you tell them your thoughts on it!!

currently reading: The Light Eaters by Zoë Schlanger, very interesting book about botany
