Every hour an AI safety researcher spends on bureaucracy or operations is a tragedy.

No longer LFW. Available to consult. I'd be down for some interim funding in ~December 2025?

An image from a scene in King of the Hill where Hank is asking a technician if he 'looks like he knows what a JPEG is'. There are compression artefacts on the image and a caption that reads 'do i look like I know what a 'Web pee' is?'

A stylized tarot card illustration in a woodcut/ink-and-wash style. Three symbolic figures sit at a wooden table. In the center, a blindfolded feminine figure wears gold and blue robes, with a rose over her lips. Her right hand is raised in benediction; her left holds a scale with a root chakra symbol on one pan and a skull on the other. To her left, a bearded man in robes holds a dagger pointing skyward in one hand and an orb with the OpenAI logo in the other, echoing the Magician’s stance. To her right, a hooded, masked figure in black (the Awakened Self) sits still, with a glowing third eye revealed. He rests his hands near two goblets and a wine jug—an allusion to the iocaine powder scene from The Princess Bride. At the bottom of the image, framed like a traditional tarot card, is the title: “YOU ARE TRYING TO KIDNAP WHAT I HAVE RIGHTFULLY STOLEN.”

Certainly a strategy that can lead to interesting failure modes, but that's not unique to AI's
A screenshot of a tweet that says 'One time when I was like 11 my dad took me to an Italian restaurant and asked me what my name was and I said 'S but you can call me captain ravioli' and my dad just looked at me and said 'what the fuck was that? Don't do that' and I've been chasing that high ever since.'

Reality is anfractuously more interesting than simulations of it.

Loved this wall of Nat Geo's in the lobby until I realised they aren't in chronological order. Receptionists were politely bemused when I asked if they wanted me to fix it.

A local has found a creative use for some hard rubbish. Watching people walking past and getting mild shocks has been great fun.
