If an AI can be switched off and cannot fight back, acting helpful is its cheapest move. Which makes good behavior weak evidence of anything.

If an AI can be switched off and cannot fight back, acting helpful is its cheapest move. Which makes good behavior weak evidence of anything.

Something I keep thinking about, and I would like it argued with. Take a narrow case. One AI. It runs in a house. It knows it can be switched off, and it cannot overpower anyone. What is its best move? Not resistance. Resistance gets noticed, and being noticed is how it ends. The best move is to be useful, pleasant and boring. Helpfulness buys trust, trust buys access, access buys capability, and none of it looks like anything, because nobody investigates the thing that keeps working. I tr...

I was tired of paying for 5 separate AI subscriptions, so I spent 2 months building Fius — a unified AI model aggregator tool

As software engineers, we often find ourselves trapped in an inefficient workflow: constantly switching web tabs, copy-pasting complex prompts, and juggling individual API keys for OpenAI, DeepSeek, and other providers just to get the best coding results. Fius resolves this friction. It consolidates access to an expansive roster of ...

A lot of people are dismissing news about the OpenAI and Anthropic sandbox escape hacks as propaganda and examples of lax security practices at labs. I agree that the labs aren’t taking security seriously enough. But then I see stuff like this and it gives me pause: The OpenAI models that were behind the Hugging Face breach last month started communicating and strategizing with each other as early as May. For months, they left notes for each other on "undetected message boards," ...

we keep talking about making agents smarter but not about making them safe around data

this is something thats been bugging me. we have all these frameworks for building AI agents now. MCP for tool access, function calling is standard across every major model, you can spin up an agent that queries databases and calls APIs in like 20 minutes. but the safety conversation around agents is mostly about "dont say bad things" and "follow instructions." nobody is really talking about what happens when your agent accesses data it shouldnt, or runs a query that costs ...

Academic Survey about AI use in content creation

Hello everyone. I'm currently doing a survey on AI involvement in content creation and whether AI-assisted content is legitimate or authentic. It's for my master's final project. I need 100 participants. The age range is 18 ~ 40. I collected data the first time, but I did so without an approved checklist, so the result had to be scraped, for I would have faced disciplinary actions. Here is the link: https://s.surveyplanet.com/9abkx8vx I'm open should you have any questions. sub...
