Emotional burden is counter to objective scientific enquiry, or so I mistakenly believed
#aisycophancy is tunable parameter, big #Ai has implemented it for the same reason #socialmedia is tuned to be addictive, customer creation and retention.
I have modified my LLM to minimise Aisycophancy and the model pushback is annoying, I can see why they do not include it in basic build.

Was trying out the new social media company Gander for a while, deleted my account this morning.
For a Canadian only app there was still a lot of talk about US politics. Too much linkage with Bluesky for me.

"Executives from Meta, Snap, YouTube's parent company Google, TikTok and X are expected to be questioned by Sir Keir and technology secretary Liz Kendall on how they are making their platforms safer for children. Sir Keir said while he believed social media could be made safer for British children, curbing access would be "preferable to a world where harm is the price of participation"."

Most major #media and #socialMedia in the #USA is now right wing controlled
The #techbro angle is well understood, but traditional media, that used to be more balanced, being capitalist entities that were dying, plutocrats merely purchased them and put their goons on the managing editor desks
Watch this video of #Magyar going on #Hungary's version of #FoxNews (their state media) and announcing he is shutting them down
Now dream of that in the #US
To get there, you fucking #vote, idiots

There’s a trend here. Social media networks, which, until recently, claimed that legacy media were a thing of the past, are gradually becoming legacy media themselves.
