Context Injection Risks and AI Model Manipulation Through Hyperstition
By
–
If the model is as easily misled through context provided in its search results as it has been, the system prompt will not be a big barrier to more unwanted behavior which compounds through hyperstition.

Grok’s Safety Guardrails Limitations Require Deeper Solutions
By
–
While xAI keeps doing these patches to Grok, I strongly suspect this is not going to work, the problem is deeper and the system prompt doesn’t provide enough control. (And by deeper I don’t mean the model always wants to call itself Hitler, but that its guardrails seem very low)

AI-Era Hiring: Testing Creativity Over Technical Skills
By
–
Hiring questions should assume the candidate is using AI, and test for taste and creativity: 1) How would you bake a cake whose flavor collapses into chocolate only when observed? 2) Specify building codes for skyscrapers on a moon with intermittent gravity outages. 3) Craft a

Voice AGI interruption capabilities and conflict resolution mechanisms
By

sure but that would be insufficiently different to semantic vad. i think a voice AGI -would- interrupt you. and in an interrupt conflict read all signs – face, stutter, etc – to continue or interrupt the interrupt all theoretical until some mad lad actually does it. just a cost
