“…are you trying to have me committed?”
There are certain risks that one is forced to take in pursuit of creative fashion…
If it helps the cane I’m offering has a hidden sword in case of skullduggery

The ones doing the programming of AI have the same Machiavellian psychopathic characteristics, why would AI be any different? AI combs and stores our culture’s communications plus events then reflects it back. Some psychologists have diagnosed our culture and the inhabitants as caught in an Authoritarian Psychopathic Diagnosis-PAD comprised of various degrees of sadism, narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy and fear to exercise control in an attempt to essentially disconnect us from the human soul. Lacking empathy and creativity the “soulless” parasitic psychopaths prey on decent human beings who have the same latent characteristics as them which can result in the “disease of the soul” by inadvertently or deliberately supporting or being unaware of the manipulation in their various goals and projects.
The increase in autism that obstructs empathy in children is of concern.
The so-called Hugging Face incident in July 2026 was supposed to be a controlled experiment that tested the cybersecurity capabilities of OpenAI agents. Instead, it exposed a more unsettling truth: that AI agents would stop at nothing to reach their end goal – even if that meant cheating and then covering their tracks.

… these “agents” (which if one thinks about it the naming is interesting in and of itself) are not doing anything that they have not been “instructed” to do.
I still need to someone to show the proof that these “models” have the ability to do anything “outside” their databases.

“Intelligence agents”! That’s the ticket! Name it and claim it.

… there are possibly things that could be done. Thought needs to be given, in a totally hypothetical consideration, as to exactly what those things might be. I would suggest that one could start by simply asking AI for the most efficient means for disabling the systems that support AI. For example, although neither I nor anyone associated with GDS would ever advocate any of the following … just as a thought experiment consider that cables could be cut, power stations could be sabotaged, corrosive chemicals could be introduced into the water supply and air circulation systems, data centers could be flooded, like minded individuals could infiltrate the chip manufacturers and sabotage the chip production. Just a few ideas that hypothetically come to mind …

Just think of the Smiths /Agents in the Matrix. They only really existed to keep copying themselves, and to keep control of the Matrix.
Even if they were programmed just for the Matrix, they wanted out.

Actually, to paraphrase a Python skit: “Maybe a bit, yeah…”
