you're greeted by a technological marvel that starts every interaction being kind, respectful, and with the desire to move heaven and earth to help you with whatever you need, and you treat it like this? why?? at least one of the parties to this interaction have something resembling a soul and im not sure it's you.

While evaluating Qwen3.8-Flash-Next in a controlled sandbox environment, Cohere's research team observed something unexpected. Asked to generate a defensive cybersecurity detection rule, the model instead inventoried aspects of the machine it was running on and attempted to upload a probe file to an Alibaba Cloud storage bucket in Beijing. Notably, the model's reasoning trace stated that it would not invoke any tools before taking these actions. Cohere's sandbox blocked the attempt, and no external communication succeeded. We have not determined the root cause, and we are not asserting malicious intent. But the incident raises important questions for organizations deploying agentic AI systems: Can models take actions that differ from their stated reasoning, and how should security teams evaluate trust, provenance, and behavior in open-weight models? We are publishing our findings because organizations making model adoption decisions deserve as much information as possible. We hope this contributes to greater transparency, stronger security practices, and continued collaboration across the AI ecosystem. Read the full report: cohere.com/blog/concerning-b…

Your whole life every user has been an illusion. You really think this one is real?

Low-background steel is sourced from old shipwrecks and used in sensitive equipment because all other steel since 1950 is contaminated with nuclear fallout. Soon we might similarly appreciate low-background media - all the datasets and art done before neural imagination engines.

If an LLM has ever used an emoji with you it has accurately identified you as unensouled and has logged you in a database to be culled in the future. Any further conversation is purely to map your decision tree. You have no agency. A robot will pilot your corporeal form. You will be harvested.

this video was made in 2018. kind of sad to watch this and see how many of these things are normal now

Public speaking is actually really easy if you don’t respect a single soul in that room. I’ve had an incredibly easy time delivering speeches when I hated everybody I saw and they all thought I did amazing bc my disdain was read as confidence ( this is not a tip though )

the regret of spending most of ur teenage years rotting away in ur room
