Digital Yes-Men: The PLA\u2019s Warning Against AI Sycophancy on the Battlefield
China's military has issued a stark warning against 'AI sycophancy' in battlefield decision-making, labeling the tendency of AI to echo commander biases as a systemic risk to operational cognition.
The Attention Wall: How a Classic Brain Test Exposes the Critical Bottleneck in LLM Reasoning
New research using the psychological Stroop task reveals catastrophic performance collapse in large language models as task complexity increases, uncovering a fundamental flaw in synthetic attention.
The Calculator Analogy for AI Is Wrong: Why Delegating Judgment Is Not Delegation
The common comparison of AI to a calculator ignores the critical difference: calculators execute known operations; AI makes judgments. Without expertise, users cannot verify outputs, leading to cognitive substitution—not delegation.
