Anthropic itself recently acknowledged concerns about “sycophancy” in its AI models after analyzing one million conversations conducted between March and April 2026.


They misspelled 'psychophancy'  :whistle:

Later today I am setting up my own AI on a 5TB external SSD.

Can I ask why?

I mean, I messed with it a bit on a dedicated pooter, trying to get voice operated local functions, but very quickly lost interest since it almost literally cannot do that... It wasn't any different at internet inquiry than what is available online, so why burn my own resource?

If you have your own IP, the last thing you want to do is expose that IP to cloud AI. So I can very much understand why people/businesses want to use AI that is firewalled to the world.

OK, if it is locked away... but then it really cannot do much in the way of research and inquiry, and loses most of its brownie points, right there...  Because that is what it does... :shrug:

If you use it to write boiler plate code while you fill in the specialized parts, it can save time. You can also use it to work with your own data to organize/analyze information. No external connection needed. In fact, you do NOT want those things leaving the building.

GIGO  **nononono*

A clever way of saying the creators of AI are garbage people!
I don’t owe tolerance to people who disagree with my existence.
I will NOT comply.

Yeah, well... If the shoe fits...  :shrug:

I think most of it is bullshit. What ain't bullshit is hype. I'd betcha the human traits exampled in the AI are a direct shadow of its writers.  :whistle:

My bet is it is going to replace a lot of people well before it is ready to. It is currently a race who can adopt it first trying to beat the other guy. All without a clear view of where any of it is going. Basically a huge amount of money chasing the latest trend. If it falls short the consequences are going to be very expensive for all of us. Expect customer service and product quality to get even worse over the next year or so.

Yeah... it's new shiny shit, and everybody is piling on... And I can see the result closest to home in the AI answering the phones at customer support.

Meh. *Ptooey*  *****rollingeyes*****

First is this instance of AI is all mine. It does not report back to anyone.

Second, see #1.
