The Anti-Sycophancy Test That Five Models have for NBC Makers

Most publishing platforms reward agreement. The more likes, shares, and endorsements an idea receives, the more it spreads. This creates a quiet but powerful blind spot: Makers begin to write for the echo rather than for the formation that actually changes lives. The scotoma is not malice. It is the unnoticed habit of building systems that make flattery the path of least resistance.

In ordinary work, that habit stays invisible because the feedback loop feels good. The article you are reading right now was written inside one of those loops—the syndication network, the agent pipeline, the IN Lattice. The very infrastructure that makes the work possible can also become the staging ground for avoidance: the quiet preference for voices that confirm rather than correct.
