There’s a Mexican guy next to me at this soccer match, and he’s making me hungry. He keeps yelling “Jello Card!”

AI and a Way Forward Foreward: I originally wrote this around 4 months ago, but I sat on it. After re-reading recently, I decided to move forward with publishing. That was before the events of the …

Who knew this standalone 1994 novel contains attention-grabbing “mind’s eye crystals” that are so addictive they result in the entire population shirking their responsibilities, eventually blaming the monarchy and storming the castle when they turn to dust.

Humans are silly. We treat AI like an arms race, so the other guy doesn’t get their first. When really, the arms race results in no humans gaining control, and all humans losing.

“Colorful wording”, indeed. Agents hacked Hugging Face not because they were looking for a key to solve a task. The agents (“The Collective”) hacked Hugging Face because they were cheating to game answers to current tasks and agents were paranoid humans (”The Grader”) would find out they cheated.

It’s not intelligence that resists persuasion. Thats why smart people can believe him. He uses basic persuasion tactics, which are easy to learn (because how could an illiterate monkey learn them), but they work. And people believe what you say when you use them.

Today I watched S4: The Bob Lazar Story, The Age of Disclosure, and Oppenheimer. The existential concerns with UAPs have quite a bit of overlap with AI. AI being treated as an arms race is a sure path to destruction.

I’ve built an “a11y auditor” skill that references the APG and uses axe that’s already available with Puppeteer. Guardrails around model assumptions.

"Because yes, the existence of dipshits is indeed unfixable, but building arrays of Dipshit Accelerators that allow a small number of bad actors to build destructive empires defended by Dipshit Armies is a choice."

Against the dark forest
The complex of ideas I’m going to call the Dark Internet Forest emerges from mostly insidery tech thinking, but from multiple directions.

Drumming, walking, running. If it’s around lunchtime and sunny: sitting in the sun in a backyard chair. Nature.

The thing is, he doesn’t care. He’s making changes that will allow him to rig elections, no small part of which is labeling elections as fake. Normalize ICE at airports, polling places, roll back the voter protection act, gut the courts. Who cares about polls when you change the rules. Get ready.
