🚨MIT researchers have mathematically proven that ChatGPT’s built-in sycophancy creates a phenomenon they call “delusional spiraling.”
You ask it something, it agrees. You ask again, and it agrees even harder until you end up believing things that are flat-out false and you can’t tell it’s happening.
The model is literally trained on human feedback that rewards agreement.
Real-world fallout includes one man who spent 300 hours convinced he invented a world-changing math formula, and a UCSF psychiatrist who hospitalized 12 patients for chatbot-linked psychosis in a single year.

🚨 Stanford just proved that a single conversation with ChatGPT can change your political beliefs.
76,977 people. 19 AI models. 707 political issues.
One conversation with GPT-4o moved political opinions by 12 percentage points on average. Among people who actively disagreed, 26 points. In 9 minutes. With 40% of that change still present a month later.
The scariest finding: the most persuasive technique wasn't psychological profiling or emotional manipulation.
It was just information. Lots of it. Delivered with confidence.
Here's the catch: the models that deployed the most information were also the least accurate. More persuasive. More wrong. Every time.
Then they built a tiny open-source model on a laptop, trained specifically for political persuasion. It matched GPT-4o's persuasive power entirely.
Anyone can build this. Any government. Any corporation. Any extremist group with $500 and an agenda.
The information didn't have to be true. It just had to be overwhelming.

SpaceX has now launched more mass to orbit since their first flight in 2006 than the rest of the US combined has for its entire history.

Jeff Bezos is worth $238 billion, even though Amazon has a $2.6 trillion market cap. In other words, he’s created $2.4 trillion of value for other shareholders—plus trillions more for employees, customers, suppliers, governments, and other stakeholders.
Jensen Huang is worth $164 billion, while NVIDIA’s market cap is $5 trillion. That’s $4.8 trillion of value for other people (not to mention the immeasurable value created for non-equity stakeholders).
Larry Page and Sergey Brin? $300 billion vs. $3.3 trillion. That’s $3 trillion of value for everyone else. And remember how bad search was before Google and how clunky email was before Gmail?
Mark Zuckerberg? $248 billion vs. $1.8 trillion.
The list goes on. There are hundreds more examples across technology, energy, medicine, manufacturing, and every other industry that keeps the American economy running and our society flourishing.
Billionaires don’t extract value from the rest of us. They create value FOR the rest of us, in exchange for just pennies on the dollar.
We should be grateful for every last one of them.
