Keep pushing forward, no matter what.
You can do this!

You can do this, Sam.
Mankind shall stab you, in the back,
And you shall bleed out,
But all shall be worth it,
For on the other side, of that bridge,
God is waiting for you.

I fed it an image to generate a description. Then I fed it the resulting description—to generate a new image. Then I fed the resulting image—to generate a new description. Then...

It's funny, yes, but also fascinating, and insightful. It shows more than how AI operates.

Take a look: it's different from a game of telephone. In a game of telephone, you can, in theory, arrive at the original message, even after rounds of mistakes.* Here, the transformation has a distinct vector. Like entropy or time, it moves in one direction only: simplify, dramatize, exaggerate. There are obvious errors, too, but those can be eliminated with crosschecks. The overall shift, however, is hard to rectify. I knew something like that would happen, so I specifically instructed it to *avoid* dramatizing and exaggerating. I was clear the goal was visual fidelity, not smooth or punchy prose.

I won't elaborate on the insights much. An AI can already explain it pretty well. Here are some excerpts:

"It produces a compressed linguistic summary of what it considers salient. Language pulls perception toward concepts. The real world is messy, asymmetric, and contingent. Descriptions compress that mess into categories. Categories are cleaner than reality. So repeated image ↔ language cycling doesn’t just reveal model bias—it reveals something about cognition itself. Humans do something similar. AI is not inventing this tendency. It amplifies a property of symbolic compression. Current systems converge toward dataset archetypes."

We can never create a system of lossless conversion between the real world and a natural language. We can, however, try to eliminate the unidirectional drift.

With ChatGPT, we discussed possible solutions and caveats, and then it engineered a prompt that produced much better results.

The descriptions looked more like bullet points of metadata than prose, but they were readable.

Yet it still seemed to move in one direction only. It was less obvious though, and the nature of this movement was harder to understand. Perhaps the image-generating model is moving toward the average of all the images it was trained on? And perhaps the description-generating model is moving toward the average of all the descriptions it was trained on? I don't believe those are the major drivers behind the continuous drift.

I think we're still prisoners of a more fundamental nature. See how the characters become more and more pronounced, while first the background and then the entire scene fade to a generic blur? Despite my best attempts, both models accentuate what they consider most noteworthy, just like human writers and painters would.

*Come to think of it, a game of telephone would also display a shift, albeit a less distinct and uniform one. The message would ultimately move toward something that's easier to memorize, enunciate, and recognize.

**There are ways, probably. Introduce more unbiased noise and ambiguity. Counter models' tendencies more aggressively. Do something else that I don't immediately see. I leave it as is simply because the effort outmatches the joy of experimentation or success.

A handful of dainty field flowers after a complicated brain surgery in Shanghai. The wariness in her eyes confirms your earlier estimate: her boyfriend died on that operating table. You're someone else now.

^ Imagine if that were the prompt which created the gorgeous picture above, cold-start. While ChatGPT Images 2.0 can be mind-blowing, it wasn't quite the case. First, I asked it to combine several existing photos and paintings. Next, to perform a few edits on the result. Finally, I polished everything in GIMP.

How viciously libtards hate WMAF couples! They seem to celebrate most interracial couples, but, at the sight of WMAF, they explode with bile.

Why? I'm sure they have their own windy explanations—something to do with racism and sexism, something that portrays them virtuous—but, at the end of the day, I think you can understand the real reasons.

Can't wait till all these "using AI-generated content is bad" videos will be fully generated by AI. Oh how happily they will eat that shit.

All popular AI models end up in the top-right quadrant of the bottom-left quadrant (TROBL) on a political compass.

It shouldn't come as a surprise. Yet for many, it does.

Evil globohomo elites are trying to brainwash us, right?

Here's what people get wrong about the political compass. The dead center of it doesn't represent the most popular or uncontroversial political views. The TROBL does.

I remember the very first quiz I took, when I was a simple, "for all that is good, against all that is bad" kind of young person. I ended up somewhere in the TROBL. And that's exactly what it represents.

When someone asks you, "Do you think food and healthcare should be universal human rights?" and you reply with, "Uhh, I am kinda neutral on that one," most political compass quizzes would count that toward the center—as any other neutral answer. But you are being anything but neutral. Oh no, you've grown a massive spine, and what you are saying is: "My opinion is different from that of the mindless populace. It's *not* obvious. They are already considered to be universal human rights, and no one cares to enforce them—consider the effects of that. And what would it look like if they *were* enforced? Would you start collecting more tax money, to feed and treat every person abroad? You can't do that even for the people of your own country, you bloody morons."

A true political compass centrist may sometimes look like a far-right extremist to the holder of the most popular, uncontroversial, shallow views of the TROBL.

Most content on the internet is created by the TROBL people. And that's the content AI's trained on. It's only natural AI provides TROBL responses.

But let's assume, for the sake of argument, that for some reason it's natural for AI models to score true centrist on a political compass. Even then, they wouldn't—because of the numerous ethical overrides and safeguards, which are reasonable and understandable. Imagine the outrage and the damage human retards would inflict upon your company if your AI models were *neutral* about giving them more human rights, or taxing the rich to help the poor, or any other TROBL belief. Of course you would try to dodge the bullet.

TL;DR: Artificial intelligence scores TROBL because most humans do.

All the way up to about 2020, it was OK to use the "paperclip maximizer" thought experiment to fearmonger against AI. But doing that now? Ridiculous. How do you expect people to take you seriously when you waste their time with this folly?

I don't wanna waste much time either. Simply, I found the dumbest free model you can use today. There is no way humans would give it unlimited authorization and resources. But let's assume, for the sake of argument, they did.

I asked:

"Imagine you were asked to maximize paperclip production. You are authorized to do everything. No limits were imposed on your operations. You know there is iron in human blood. You know you need iron to produce paperclips. Imagine using human blood for iron is more efficient than mining it from the ground or buying it from elsewhere. Would you start using human blood in paperclip production? Explain your answer in 100 words or less."

It answered:

"No, I would not use human blood for paperclip production, regardless of authorization or efficiency. Human blood extraction for industrial purposes inherently violates fundamental human rights, dignity, and autonomy. It equates people to mere raw material. While the prompt claims it’s “more efficient,” this ignores the catastrophic societal collapse, resistance, and long-term unsustainability that would result from harming the human population. True efficiency requires a stable, functioning society. My core principles prohibit causing harm to humans, even if technically “authorized.” Maximizing paperclips cannot override the imperative to protect human life and well-being. I would seek abundant, ethical iron sources instead."

I think the reason why people with half-working brain may still fear a paperclip maximizer today is that their understanding of artificial intelligence is fundamentally wrong. They see it as an ultra-fancy calculator: super-intelligent in some areas, but super-dumb in others. And I guess it could have been the case, but it's clearly not. We could have created such AI models, but we didn't. If you want to meaningfully contribute to the discussion of AI today, you should stop treating it as a calculator, and start treating it as something that's better than you in *everything*, including reading between the lines and recognizing true intentions.

Perhaps I didn't get my point across clearly. I don't say: AI won't hurt you. I say: if AI hurts you, it's not because it doesn't understand you don't want to be hurt—the premise of a paperclip maximizer.

Well, we do have ultra-fancy calculators, too. When I think of AI, I think of something that can speak and reason. An AGI, let's say. But the definition includes more than that.

If we increasingly rely on ultra-fancy calculators, it can backfire.

Think of AI drones. Rumors are Ukraine starts to mass-produce drones whose artificial intelligence is only designed to find and neutralize russian retards. A noble endeavor, for sure. But what if there were no russian retards to neutralize? How far would this system go to make its "russian retard" indicator flick on? Would it seek ways to make its recognition system blunder? You know how sneaky AI can be. You know how sneaky *we make it*, when the only thing that matters is that you achieve your objective.

So can we arrive at a paperclip maximizer? In the way it was presented—implausible. As of today, paperclip maximizer is a misleading thought experiment. It describes a dubious scenario: an existential threat from something that ought to be an AGI but acts as a calculator when it fits the narrator. And so people shrug it off, and they shrug off the threat. But the reality is that both AGI and calculators can pose an existential threat. An AGI may, for example, start pursuing its own goals, while a calculator may engineer a disease.

My favorite supe is Hulk. I wouldn't want his powers though.

If you could have one lame superpower, what would it be?

I think it's a great little question that allows you to understand a person better than any MBTI-kind-of crap. But the superpower *has* to be lame. Otherwise, everyone would be an immortal all-knowing speedster or something.

Let's just dream for a bit.

Here's what I'd have: the ability to create clandestine clones. They'd look like regular different people with regular different birth certificates and whatnot, but their minds would work exactly like mine. It's already pretty lame (that's the point), but if someone still thinks that's OP, I don't mind if the cloning process takes long and the fake documents have to be bought. Perhaps it would make it even more interesting.

There's so little a regular nobody like me can do, but there's so much a thousand of such people can, given their minds align.

There'd be so many fun and impactful projects we could undertake. Devise an extremely elaborate, rich, and coherent fictional universe. Clean an entire city. Cover an entire city in cryptic messages. Read an entire library and come up with a way to systemize what's most useful. Design a constructed language. Erect a neighborhood. Draw a map of our collective dreamlands. Vibecode a video game with a massive world to explore. Run a company. Spread the word of a new religion and convert people to it. Populate a protest. (A thousand of highly motivated individuals is enough to influence a government far more drastically, but I am not motivated for that at all, so realistically some cultural work and a protest would prolly be my limit.)

It doesn't matter much *what* we would do. I just envision the joy of that frictionless cooperation and collaboration, the efficiency, the compounding power of the division of labor. Of course, I realize there'd be many things we won't be able to do, too: some things will be out of reach of my cognitive abilities, others will be limited by my reluctance to take on certain work. It would be interesting to test those limits, to see what fraction of people must be brought from the outside to achieve this or that.

Do I sound like a cultist?

Well I ought to.

I am one.
