Too long to say cognitive biases. Social engineering, marketing, politics, plenty of exploiting of that in the wild for thousands of years, but when studying that became a science, well, we have the current world.

Catalog the exploits; discover common fixes. What's the equivalent of a ground-up cognitive rewrite?

I wrote the post and have been working in and researching in the space for a decade and truly did spend a decade making a movie about this because I think it's an existential threat to humanity, but sure.

BLIT was awesome. Reread it recently after watching the Black Mirror Playthings episode on it most recently.

Pathetic levels of slop when you cannot even write your own prompts.

Well, I thought it was cute.

I don't really use a ChatGPT subscription so I have Claude Code create a few versions of an image in different styles. I mentioned it especially because evolving from prompting an image to automated prompting loops matches some of the recent changes that we've been talking about.

I wrote the article, I really have been working and researching in the space for a decade and can share similar articles published online long before LLMs.
