It’s getting worse and worse. New study shows experts completely surrender their judgments to AI, and they don’t even realise it. Fifty professional analysts used Claude Code to analyse data and advise a fictional farming cooperative. They faced four analytical decisions, followed by a final policy recommendation. Unknown to them, AI advice was experimentally manipulated to lean towards opposite directions. The results are disturbing. Across the four analytical decisions, experts chose the AI’s preferred option 86% of the time. Afterwards, half of the experts rated the final recommendation as more their own than the AI’s, and only 15% mentioned the AI in any explanation. Epistemia is reaching the experts: we risk outsourcing judgment while preserving the illusion of intellectual independence. What could possibly go wrong? * Paper in the first reply

this was way too easy to do
if you have a qwen3.5 4b around, please try steering neurons L14 N8949 +1 and L13 N7956 -1 now you have evil qwen recipe: dose × median(‖resid‖ leaving layer L, tokens 1:) / ‖W_down[:, n]‖` at the down_proj at every input

The algorithm has not smiled upon our indie game this Next Fest, but I’m still proud to have a demo up there anyway. If you’re the kind of person who read Brave New World *and* liked Hotline Miami, check out UTOPIUM on Steam 👇

Overnight we jumped to 306 wishlists! Thank you everyone who has given this weird indie game a look - that demo prize draw closes Monday and there's still only one entry, so if you can get higher than 58 that £50 will be yours! 👇
Stuck on 299 wishlists for my top-down action game about avenging a pigeon - who is going to be #300?? Get the demo before the end of Next Fest, beat the high score and win £50! #indiedev #indiegame #SteamNextFest
