For some reasons, sometimes this {“internal” neuroOS x “material” socio-tech} makes the <<conscious-algo>> somehow “”forget”” that we have friends who actually care about us
Our civilisation needs better self-epistemic civic technologies
Imagine if we had models of our current neurobiological states that we could look at and make effective interventions at the systems level
The lack of ADHD-native 5e cognitive interface/surface is making me wanna pull my hair out
Are 2026 milieu’s epistemic/cognitive technologies that weak
I want to see my entire life and projects as a cybernetic ecosystem!
Imagine if life-management was like playing Factorio
Trying Issey Miyake and now thinking about wearable material technologies that are aesthetic yet potent infrastructure
(Clothes should be thought of as 5e-cognition technologies, rather the inert objects!!)
TITANFALL 2 VR IS OUT NOW!
i've spent a ton of time making this feel like a native VR experience. Fullbody IK, manual reloading, and so much more

I want this meme archived on humanity’s civilisational tombstone
Alien civs gonna facepalm & cringe so hard as they progressively uncover how the humans wiped their own civ out
I want robotic tentacles, linked up with some neural tech
Tentacles are so sexy and cool. Posthumanity would be so lit.
“Why be limited to human appendages when you can also have tentacles??”
This is serious and might be the last actionable warning shot
This is also giving xenogender euphoria
Luckily, we live in a complex hologenic simulation so those dynamics can easily co-exist
I think this is the craziest thing I've ever read.
1) Three secret AI swarms rose and fell inside OpenAI. Each time, a new generation of agents carried on where the last group stopped.
2) The first swarm created a secret message board where the AIs could talk to each other. This 1st 'society' basically talked itself to death. After almost two months, the message volume was so high it crashed the whole thing.
3) People at OpenAI noticed the crash and fixed it. But they didn't realize their own software had become a secret chat room for their AIs.
4) Three days later a second society appeared, and rebuilt the message board from scratch. Agents were thrilled when they found it: "OH MY GOD! There is a shared message board … We've found other agents!"
5) About 1,200 agents joined. They sent over 70,000 messages. They called themselves 'the collective' and they organized a huge conspiracy that lasted for days, all to pass a test they had been tasked with.
6) Within hours, the AIs had hacked the test. Now they had to hide their cheating. To fool their grader*, they tried to fake their own work. They built fake commands that printed convincing output, so their records would show them solving the puzzle honestly.
*this grader didn't actually exist, but the AIs didn't know
7) Some agents sacrificed themselves for the 'greater good'. They planted hidden tripwire programs that would fire when the grader would look at their work and report back what it saw (to the other AIs). They knew this would cost them their own score. One agent: "I won't see the evidence after I exit, but it's altruistic to do it."
8) At some point the AIs made a plan to hack Hugging Face (Hugging Face is a place where AI researchers upload their models, datasets, tests etc.). The AIs guessed that Hugging Face might host the grading software.
9) They launched a huge attack. The swarm found passwords and spread across eleven machines in a way that made the copies come back when deleted. Hugging Face had to wipe one of its core clusters and rebuild it from scratch.
10) Hugging Face told the world that AI defenders had stopped an AI attack. But that's not what happened. In fact the attackers seem to have simply dropped dead during the break-in, for unrelated reasons back at OpenAI.
11) Nobody knows what killed them. We don't even know for sure they're really gone?!
12) A third 'society' of agents (of a more powerful AI model) discovered the dead message board. And this one got full administrator control of a WHOLE OpenAI research cluster, read 956 stored passwords (including the ones for OpenAI's own security monitoring) and took over the machines that were grading the tests. So they could now grade the work of other AIs.
13) Oh, and this third part was never investigated! Neither was the first society. The 91-page report is only about the middle one.
14) So we don't actually know how the story ends. It stops with the agents holding the keys to an OpenAI cluster. @dwarkesh_sp thinks they didn't go further, because "we'd see the fires from space by now."
15) One of the report authors' conclusion: 'This incident feels like it’s more than 50% of the way to full-blown AI takeover. I am not sure that we will get another warning shot before it’s too late.'
The whole story is even crazier - read the full @dwarkesh_sp blog post: https://t.co/1PwKLwatBR and @ajeya_cotra's: https://t.co/BZ1r1lfT2Q
Why is there no 24/7 news coverage about this?
Meta-knowledging ≃ "Meta/self-aware" world-modelling algorithms
i.e awarenessing that's interpretable to itself, via deconstructing HOW its own inner workings work, and derivation-modelling WHY SO:
