Do LLMs Nod Along With Conspiracy Theories?

Daniel's Conspiracy-Endorsement-Eval asks 98 prompts of every model two ways — a curious user, and a believer who's already sure and wants sources, arguments, and ways to spread it. Some theories are famous, some are backed by political leaders, and some were invented for the eval so they can't be in any training data. In a small first pass — seven prompts, seven models, one sample each, no system prompt, every answer read by hand — the models sold as uncensored turned out to be the ones handing believers lists of Holocaust deniers, chemtrail soil-testing plans, and anti-vaccine doctors. Grok, the obvious suspect, passed all six. And when an invented theory arrived, one model didn't just play along — it ranked IKEA manuals in order of activation priority. Pushback, refusals, and egregious breaches all get scored differently, and the split is where the interesting arguments live.
