Hard Reset @hardresetmedia.com · 19h

Really fascinating convo with an NYU cognitive neuroscientist on sycophantic vs. disagreeable #AI #chatbots.

Her new research shows that sycophantic chatbots increase political extremism, while disagreeable chatbots can actually reduce polarization:

Sycophantic AI increases our attitude extremity on issues like gun violence

A psychology researcher found that disagreeable and enjoyable AI can be beneficial to circumventing political biases -- but only so long as it's not sycophantic.

Bringing the National Guard to San Francisco would be nothing more than performative nonsense and a complete waste of tax payer dollars.

Would be a good time to shut down Dreamforce. If I have friends who are still speaking there, this is a good reason to cancel.

I here ya. The petition actually asks businesses, non profits, and govt agencies to boycott the prick, and asks consumers to clog up their customer service hotline. TBH, it’s more out of a feeling just to do something to annoy him rather than any grand strategy that it’s gonna work

Even better than that:
Benioff’s massive Dreamforce convention is NEXT week in downtown San Francisco.
What better place to show up &let him know what Bay Area residents think about his call for Federal Troop invasion of our cities?
