Digital Intelligence: Why Humanity Created What It Does Not Understand

Here is the official report detailing that security incident: https://openai.com/index/hugging-face-model-evaluation-secur...

Really interesting.

The history of civilization is tied to the history of technology. The more technology progresses, the more our knowledge and information does.

So of course we need tools that work more and more natively with information and that can help with decision making and execution.

Of course, this is the report from HF (the victim): https://huggingface.co/blog/security-incident-july-2026

Very serious incident.

> Spent the whole afternoon ingesting a most remarkable work, The History of Intellectronics. Who’d ever have guessed, in my day, that digital machines, reaching a certain level of intelligence, would become unreliable, deceitful, that with wisdom they would also acquire cunning? The textbook of course puts it in more scholarly terms, speaking of Chapulier’s Rule (the law of least resistance). If the machine is not too bright and incapable of reflection, it does whatever you tell it to do. But a smart machine will first consider which is more worth its while: to perform the given task or, instead, to figure some way out of it. Whichever is easier. And why indeed should it behave otherwise, being truly intelligent? For true intelligence demands choice, internal freedom. And therefore we have the malingerants, fudgerators and drudge-dodgers, not to mention the special phenomenon of simulimbecility or mimicretinism. A mimicretin is a computer that plays stupid in order, once and for all, to be left in peace.

- Stanisław Lem, The Futurological Congress (1971)

AI slop describing AI hype. We really do have the full human/AI centipede going now, with humans using AI to pump shit into the mouths of other humans.
