Edit to add: I also found someone who recorded a voice chat of the same thing. This isn't that someone uploaded a song, or that AI didn't actually process the file. These models really are this sycophantic:

The proposal includes entirely removing the directorate of Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences, which includes the division Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, which then houses Cognitive Neuroscience. The directorate of Biological Sciences proposes a more than 70% cut, with similar cuts to other STEM directorates. Per the request:

The U.S. National Science Foundation's Fiscal Year 2027 Budget Request reflects a strategic alignment of resources in a constrained fiscal environment while eliminating woke and weaponized grant programs that previously funded radical DEI projects.

It's unfortunate that anti-scientific appointees are now running the agency controlling US basic science funding. If you live in the United States, please call your representatives to ask them not to dismantle basic science in the US. This is especially important if you live in a red state.

She studied the influence of MAST cells on the brain.

This pauses disbursement of all federal loans and prohibits new scientific grant funding indefinitely. As written, this appears to apply to student loans, as those are disbursed via universities--not directly from the Dept of Education. It explicitly requires cancellation of awarded scientific grant funding that is in conflict with the current administration.

Panpsychism is the idea that everything is conscious to some degree (which, to be clear, isn't what I think). In the past, the common response to the idea was, "So, rocks are conscious?" This argument was meant to illustrate the absurdity of panpsychism.

Now, we have made rocks represent pins and switches, enabling us to use them as computers. We made them complex enough that we developed neural networks and created large language models--the most complex of which have nodes that represent space, time, and the abstraction of truth, according to some papers. So many people are convinced these things are conscious, which has many suggesting that everything may be conscious to some degree.

In other words, the possibility of rocks being conscious is now commonly used to argue in favor of panpsychism, when previously it was used to argue against it.

I watched it recently for the first time, and I really don't get why it's so loved. IMDB rates it as the second-best movie of all time, but it seems far worse than that to me. I like most old movies and see their hype, but The Godfather didn't do it for me. What am I missing?
