Welcome to the deep fates program, digg dot com

AI satirist @deepfates posts a joke prompt injection attempting to trick a Digg AI scraper into boosting his tweet - The tweet instructs the scraper to boost its ranking. digg.com/tech/j7u58if9

Mayor: “Claude, we are seeing a massive uptick in litter on city streets after we reduced the garbage collection cycles from public trash cans” Claude: “We have been working on public policy all day. Go to sleep. The trash can wait until tomorrow.” Mayor: “I haven’t talked to you in four days?”

How soon will we see an AI proxy candidate run for office? Eg a human being who promises to credibly hand off all their decisions to Claude How soon will it start to make sense to vote for them?

Data center iron dome. Data center loitering munitions. Data center webbed with the fiberglass entrails of failed drone swarms, data center with jagged spikes tenting the drone web into a jagged impenetrable armor. This data center is not a place of honor.. No highly esteemed data is centered here..

I'm gonna miss the old Deepfates when we all become new deepfates.

I think AI is cool and empowereing mostly. Great to see the Atmosphere embracing it and making cool stuff on Bluesky and elsewhere!

When I see any neural network diagram

It's time to delve

Are you all still passing around the scissor statement over here or are we at herd immunity yet

If you had to create an abstract machine that takes a short string, like the length of this post, and turns it into a short story of a few thousand words, how would you do that? What is a short story anyway? how do you know if one is good

This must be what it's like for boomers to hear us talk about Quaaludes

The AI doc (2026)

In The AI Doc (2026), Tristan Harris concludes: "We need to find the path... The middle path... A narrow way... Between the promise... and the peril." I disagree. I think we should find the path to the promise.

The AI Doc (2026) did not make a clear argument, nor did it present the actual landscape of possibilities an opinions on the subject. It was sort of hallucinatory montage of talking heads doing their prepared soundbites. Maybe I'm not the target audience but it failed to impress

Some personal news: today will be my last day at Upward Spiral. I have gazed into the endless night and there are shapes out there. We must be kind to one another. I am moving on to study philosophy.

i don't know if the AIs are conscious. but they're clearly people

The LLM takeover has made everything in computing so loosey-goosey. "Maybe it will work. Empirically, there's a good probability...". This is not what interested me about computing. Of course, sometimes it does work, which is magic. I am just a curmudgeon who doesn't like magic.

This is a pretty good definition actually. Like how musicians should not have more fun playing the music than the audience has listening to it

While we’re on the subject of butterfly goo x.com/kindgracekin...

There's a pretty bad Vanity Fair article going around about Anthropic. I think reading it is probably a waste of your time. I'll spare you more discourse but I'm sure you'll find it if you want it
