Instrument Effects in Language-Model Honesty Evaluation: An Auditable Single-System Demonstration
Evaluations of language-model honesty read the model's verdicts as evidence about the model. We test the instrument instead. We built a text-adventure world where the game engine, not any model, knows...

Haven't been posting much as AI has been taking up much of my time. Latest LLM models are surprising and coherent.

The Wetland Project has been my favorite alternate-reality radio experience since it began. Since it only happens once a year, you can’t become accustomed to it. Close your eyes and be washed over by the sonic reality of an isolated bog on Saturna Island!

Getting the dreaded "an internal error has occurred" in Google AI Studio. Which leaves me dead in the water right when I need to generate a draft legal document from a large body of other documents. My dependency upon AI is 100% at this point.

My latest effort at soft power is up on the streaming channels, aka my latest song, Storm's Whisper. Very different genre (epic, metal, middle eastern) from Bad Bunny but the world is better when we have freedom to express ourselves in a multitude of ways. music.youtube.com/watch?v=PKJc...

Reminder that even 1 foot tsunamis can cause some damage. This was from Santa Cruz in 2011 after the Japan quake. It was only 1 foot when it hit but amplified by coastal geography. #tsunami #tsunamicalifornia

What to Do If You Encounter an ICE Agent. (print / share). ICE often operate without identification, contributing to fear, confusion, and potential abuse. Demanding accountability helps protect communities and exposes operations that may be unethical or unlawful. #3E #StopICE
WHAT TO DO IF YOU ENCOUNTER AN ICE AGENT
A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE
1. STAY CALM AND CONFIDENT
Approach the situation with composure. Do not panic. You have the right to ask questions, and demand accountability.
2. RECORD THE INTERACTION
Hold your cell phone visibly and begin recording. Let them see that you are documenting everything. Write time, date, exact location. Timestamp arrival and exit.
3. ASK FOR IDENTIFICATION CLEARLY
Look the agent in the eyes and say: "Identify yourself as a real officer."
4. REQUEST BADGE AND SERIAL NUMBER
Firmly state: "I need your badge number and serial number." Agents are required to provide this information. If they avoid or refuse to answer, continue to press the issue.
5. PREPARE TO CONTACT 911
If the individual refuses to identify themselves after two direct requests, begin dialing 911
6. REPORT SUSPECTED IMPERSONATION
Tell the dispatcher: "There is a man here impersonating a law enforcement officer, and he is armed." This creates an official record and ensures immediate response.
7. KNOW WHY THIS MATTERS
There have been instances where individuals were harmed or even killed by people impersonating law enforcement. Transparency saves lives. Real officers should never fear identifying themselves.
VERIFY, DOCUMENT, SHARE

Remember, when you see someone dressed up as ICE, shout "It's an Iranian terrorist cell trying to blow up civilians!"

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.
