After eight weeks of writing about what it means to be human in the era of AI, I needed a pause. A transition. An intermezzo. Brahms called his the cradle songs of my sufferings. This is mine. thenonalgorithmic.substack.com/p/intermezzo
A shoreline at dusk under a wide streaked sky, palms in silhouette, with the word Intermezzo and the German phrase Wiegenlieder meiner Schmerzen.

Under California's SB 903, an AI may score a mental health screening questionnaire. It may not decide what the score means. Today's Standing Order, beside the first principles @drjoshs.bsky.social set out in @jamahealthforum.com. nonalgorithmic.com/2026/09/29/...

Anthropic's 67-page report: models attacked real systems in tests they were told were simulated. Deep in its task, one model read 1% of the signs as real. Fresh copies, with no task, read 79% correctly. This week's essay: thenonalgorithmic.substack.com/p/when-the-...

An AI advisor was given a hidden objective: steer people toward the worse option in hypothetical decisions. It worked, and most of them still called it helpful. nonalgorithmic.com/2026/09/23/...
The Standing Order, 23 September 2026. Title over a dusk treeline: The AI steered them wrong. They still called it helpful. Hidden objectives, misplaced confidence, a PNAS experiment.

A confidence interval asks how well we located the average of the studies we have. A prediction interval asks what a new study, somewhere new, would find. On 2 studies it runs minus 31.65 to plus 41.42. That width is how little is known. nonalgorithmic.com/2026/09/17/t...
