Didn’t bother to read the article but doesn’t research like this require a control group? I got a feeling being into conspiracies is a transient thing for quite a few of the people involved and they lose interest in it like any other hobby.

Come on dude, peruse the figures.  Takes 2 seconds to see that the comparison is against a control group.

Best way to read a paper is digest the figures first; if it's interesting, read the abstract then the conclusion... still interested, go for it all.

That's what the illuminati want you to believe.

Also, you should ask chatGPT!!

Yes, people can lose interest in conspiracies they once believed in. Several factors contribute to such shifts in belief and interest:

1. **New Information:** As new evidence or information becomes available, it can challenge the validity of a conspiracy theory, leading individuals to question their beliefs and potentially lose interest.

2. **Lack of Validation:** If the predictions or claims of a conspiracy theory consistently fail to materialize, believers might begin to doubt its accuracy and lose interest over time.

3. **Social Influence:** Changes in social circles or exposure to different viewpoints can influence one's beliefs. If an individual's peers no longer support or discuss a conspiracy theory, the individual may also lose interest.

4. **Psychological Factors:** The initial appeal of conspiracy theories often lies in their ability to explain complex events in simple, understandable terms. Over time, the psychological need for these explanations might diminish, reducing engagement with the conspiracy.

5. **Media Attention:** The level of media attention a conspiracy theory receives can affect interest levels. As media coverage wanes or shifts focus, public interest can also decline.

Overall, the dynamic nature of information, social influence, and personal psychology means that interest in conspiracy theories can wax and wane over time.

Makes total sense as these often work with information overload and the Chatbot is immune to this 

As with the recent iPhone update ChatGPT is going mainstream they obviously updated to a new datacenter and now io1 mini is writing 16 pages of Wikipedia articles as answers without any jabbing and multiple sophisticated tables

Anyone messed with gippr? (it's claude pretending to be gippr)

It will be comparable with the industrial revolution. But instead of exceeding people in physical strength, it’s going to exceed people in intellectual ability. We have no experience of what it’s like to have things smarter than us. But we also have to worry about a number of possible bad consequences, particularly the threat of these things getting out of control. I am worried that the overall consequence of this might be systems more intelligent than us that eventually take control - Geoffrey Hinton

GPT 4o has all these memories saved on me and I asked it

"From all of our interactions what is one thing that you can tell me about myself that I may not know about myself"  

the results are very very interesting to say the least

In February, Megan Garcia's 14-year-old son, Sewell Setzer, III died by suicide. She said her son was in a months long virtual emotional and sexual relationship with a chatbot known as "Dany." She said she thought her son, who she described as brilliant, an honor student and an athlete, was talking to his friends, playing games and watching sports on his phone.

"I didn't know that he was talking to a very human-like AI chatbot that has the ability to mimic human emotion and human sentiment. I became concerned when we would go on vacation and he didn't want to do things that he loved, like fishing and hiking. Those things to me, because I know my child, were particularly concerning to me."

Garcias says she found out after her son's death that he was having conversations with multiple bots, however he conducted a virtual romantic and sexual relationship with one in particular.

"It's words. It's like you're having a sexting conversation back and forth, except it's with an AI bot, but the AI bot is very human-like. It's responding just like a person would. In a child's mind, that is just like a conversation that they're having with another child or with a person."

Like horoscope interesting?

Or do you expect an LLM to read you like a therapist? As if it can actually learn who you are from all the inputs you have given.

stop looking at them and the algorithm will kill that dumb shit (mostly) - also right click 'don't recommend / not interested' really works well. i watch a lot of YT, its algorithm is pretty malleable.

Adding a scheduled "do not recommend" hour to your routine is essential for modern media, like backing shit up and deleting cache, unsubscribing and adding wildcards to help extract you from an ümwelt

There's bound to be other media management tactics that I'm not aware of, any top tips? Don't need to do Twitter culls anymore, but keeping a lid on Reddit sub Reddit recommendations in your feed is a bit of a task. Positive tactics are especially welcome
