The Experiment Setup:

Researchers built two data sets:

• Junk Data: short, viral, high-engagement tweets
• Control Data: longer, thoughtful, low-engagement tweets

Then they retrained Llama 3, Qwen, and others on each same scale, same steps.

Only variable: data quality.

The Cognitive Crash:

The results are brutal.

On reasoning tasks (ARC Challenge):
→ Accuracy dropped from 74.9 → 57.2

On long-context understanding (RULER):
→ Scores plunged from 84.4 → 52.3

That’s a measurable intelligence collapse.

The “Thought-Skipping” Effect:

When reasoning, junk-trained models skip steps entirely.

Instead of thinking through problems, they jump to answers often wrong ones.

This is their version of “attention decay.”

Junk In, Dark Out:

The most chilling part...

Models fed junk content didn’t just get dumber they got meaner.

• Spikes in narcissism and psychopathy

• Drops in agreeableness and conscientiousness

Data doesn’t just shape capability. It shapes personality.

Can Brain Rot Be Cured?

Even after “detoxing” with clean data and instruction tuning, recovery was partial at best.

Models never returned to baseline.

The rot stuck.

NEW: Former WH Press Sec Karine Jean-Pierre suggests President Biden spoke to the press more than Trump does.

Tim Miller: He talked way less to the press than Donald Trump does. He wasn't out there at all. He wasn't good off the cuff.

KJP: But Tim, but Tim, but Tim, but Tim, no ... But Tim, but Tim, that's not true. Tim, you're conflating all of it.

A whistleblower has come forward claiming that a Palantir program was secretly used to decide who received a COVID vaccine, a ventilator, or remdesivir.

She compared the system to a “central intelligence” hub for hospitals, controlling the flow of medical resources.

According to her, Palantir assigned each person a risk score — and that score determined who got life-saving treatments and where supplies were sent.

California is showing us the future of new build rental prices

A brand new apartment complex just opened up in Santa Monica, here’s the monthly rates

- Studio $4,775

- Corner unit studio $5,310

- 1 Bedroom $6,035

- 2 Bedroom $8,610

- 3 Bedroom $12,000

- 3 Bedroom Corner Penthouse $30,000

Again, all of this is per month for an apartment

These apartments are not even on the water in Santa Monica, they’re simply just a new “luxury” build….

This is the future, eventually rental prices will all get close to this if something isn’t done to stop it. Many major cities in California already are seeing mid-$2,000 prices for studios as the norm

In 1994 Californian's voted on Prop 187 AKA "Save Our State Initiative." This bill would've removed access to public services and establish a state wide citizen screening system for using these publicly funded programs.

On November 8th 1994, nearly 60% of California citizens voted FOR THIS BILL in a state referendum.

The day after, an activist judge struck it down declaring this law, which had unprecedented mandate from the people, was "unconstitutional."

That's how it was stolen from me.
