I have some stale notes on the AI Hacking chapters of Schneier’s “A Hacker’s Mind”, and in one of those chapters he theorizes how AI might hack human emotions. He brings humanoid robots with cute faces as an example.
You know, I think I have an idea how a social countermeasure to that might look like.
I saw a real stupid post (reposted on the sneersub, I think) about how all the people wanting OpenAI to reinstate o4 after GPT5 was released were soldiers converted by o4, and that o4 had achieved the superpersuasiveness that Yud froths over. Good to know that a pair of googly eyes probably has the same level of persuasiveness.
Reminds me of the Grock calling itself mecha Hitler like 3 days before it was put into the body of a clingy anime AI girlfriend that is marketed to teenage boys.
