🚨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.

The removal of memorization from our schools has been a serious mistake.

There are few 'foundational' books in education; the BRILLIANT Embedded Formative Assessment by @dylanwiliam is one of them.
Rich, nuanced, & so useful from (with the late, amazing Paul Black) the originator of the term.
A must-read.
Summary here:

I’ve added another essay plan focusing on Fred and the theme of family (Stave 3).Love Fred's resilience in never giving up on his old codger of an uncle. Builds nicely towards the redemption extract in Stave 5. Clearly in revision-resource hyperfocus… happy to share!👇

Thoughts on GCSE Grades. 🧵 In general we're not at peace with the realities of grading. You can't have comparative standards AND have everyone succeed above a certain level. The bell curve is not imposed.. there's no conspiracy. It's an outcome of cohort performance.

Πάμε να δούμε πως σας κλέβει το Κράτος. Όσοι υπηρέτησαν θητεία, πρέπει να προσκομίσουν βεβαίωση από ΥπΑμ στις Κοινωνικές Ασφαλίσεις για να τους αναγνωριστούν εισφορές. Ειδάλλως, θα πάρετε μειωμένη σύνταξη. Πόσοι από τους άρρενες όλα αυτά τα χρόνια το ήξεραν και έκαναν αυτή τη διαδικασία;
