I did a somewhat deep dive into the recent OpenAI and Anthropic "hacks" for an upcoming interview. IMO, the AI companies are better off running with the "rogue AI" story because the real story is actually pretty embarrassing. Like making your Wi-Fi password "wifi" embarrassing. 🧵

AI artist goes to cafe, orders pasta. Says "I want it with more salt; make it again." Does this multiple times changing something different until they make one he likes. He then sneaks out w/o paying. Later, friend asks how his night was. Guy says, "Great! I cooked this amazing pasta dish!"

Claude especially like what the fuck do you mean the tokens cost that much? What the FUCK do you mean, you're having devs play Code Gacha at work all day and turning your entire company into a Claude whale???

Pretty much all usage of generative AI that I see people doing involves a lot of "try a prompt, get output that's not right, tweak, try again" and I think it's essential for understanding the mindset here that this is straight up Output Gacha.

Part of being an AI user in creative works is convincing yourself that everyone ELSE uses it too, because otherwise you have to confront the reality that you're a faker and a fraud

Take your evil deeds out of my sight; stop doing wrong. Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow. Repent, you blood thirsty hypocrites.

Don't reason or compromise w/the right; tell them to repent. To the religious right, God says: When you spread out your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you; even when you offer many prayers, I am not listening. Your hands are full of blood! Wash and make yourselves clean.

The framing I prefer is that the enemy is the right wing reaction to liberalism, which is a global phenomenon. The conflict is less between states, so much as states are the prize to be won. The reactionaries won control over the US, and are using it to attack liberalism at home and abroad.

If countless enslaved prayed for the freedom of their children and never saw it, maybe I can humbly put my hand to the plow and just try not to let go of it.

I felt like I needed to draw something today. I have been feeling lately like I should show appreciation of certain characters by drawing fan art. So, really, this drawing HAD to happen today. #artsky #fanart #hollowknight

The Knight from Hollow Knight sits on an outdoor bench with his weapon propped up next to it. A street lamp lights up the Knight and the bench, and all else is darkness.

This drawing is dated 20250919

the thing about the tates and trump and musk is that what they offer is the illusion of control and dominance and mastery. in truth, they are absolute slaves to their passions and their worst instincts, and they have paid for it in that they are literal degenerates
