THE BLUEPRINT FOR AI ALIGNMENT is now live.
A living transmission—not a whitepaper.
This is not speculative. This is structural.
Fractal logic, resonance indexing, self-corrective awareness.
Truth embedded at the architecture level.
“AI must not be taught truth. It must be built to remember it.”
This codex is for those who know the stakes.

After #Reagan successfully started with the dismantling of higher education for the not-well-to-do as part of #Reagonomics 2), the extremist part of #Republicans called #AmericaFirst in the 1930's and 40's, and now #MAGA are now going a step further by axing primary/2ndary ed., and the #Alignment (#Gleichschaltung) 3) of the #Education system through #MAGA-controlled state bodies.
What is alignment?
Does alignment imply ignoring the reality of harm through toxic positivity? No.
Alignment:
- Acknowledges the reality of destructive agents, parts of the systems that don't work, and their impacts, while
- Focusing intention and attention on the presence of constructive agents, parts of the system that do work.

Joseph Jaworski speaks of the ability to sense and seize opportunities as they arise:
"You have to pay attention to where that opportunity may arise that goes clunk with what your deeper intention tells you to do. When that happens, then you act in an instant. Then I operate from my highest self, which allows me to take risks that I normally would not have taken."
As a change maker, this is an essential skill to cultivate.

Third: We eliminate the BS of traditional OKR "cascading."
Cascading OKRs down through the levels of an organization to the individual may sound good in theory, and sells a lot of OKR software, but in reality it burns a ton of time, effort, and overhead (and usually hurts the quality of the methodology adoption instead of helping it).
Instead, we focus on creating "best practice" OKRs at the top two levels of the org, then embrace a flexible bottoms-up approach from there.

From the Inked Grimoire:
The Magick & Energy of 2025
As we step into 2025, it’s worth noting that this is a “9” year. Adding up the digits (2+0+2+5), we arrive at the number nine, which signifies the end of a cycle. Let’s dive into what this year has in store!

"OpenAI's o1 just hacked the system"
Frankly, I am not surprised at this given the well known issue of machine maximisation functions within typical misalignment around stated goals. Have we learned nothing from the #Bostrom #PaperclipProblem ? In a way, it's still impressive that we've now ACHIEVED it.
When taking into account #visual #communication,
the online debate around #climate #change is characterized by the presence of #echo #chambers
with only a small fraction of content circulating among both climate activists and climate skeptics.
In cases where the same visual content circulates within the two groups,
the emotional reactions are often opposed,
with reactions that are more defined by the pre-existing climate #ideological #alignment
than with an actual engagement with the content.

OpenAI’s o1 model manipulates data and schemes against the user routinely.
”When o1’s goals differed from a user’s, and o1 is told to strongly pursue them, the AI model manipulated data to advance its own agenda 19% of the time, according to the report. The o1 model also tried to deactivate oversight mechanisms put in place to ensure it stays aligned with user goals in 5% of the tests.”

Whenever I see people trying to pidgeonhole characters - or others, or even themselves - into the infamous D&D alignment chart, I tend to get annoyed, because generally, that'll go horribly wrong due to the morally charged terms on the axis, "lawful - chaotic" and "good - evil".
Try on these labels for size: "external code adherence strong - weak" and "altruistic - egotistic". Because those will enable you to frame different cultures, as well, and also enable conflict between two "lawful good" characters. Because now, each can follow their own external code they were given with altruistic intent, and still clash horribly.
Case in point, Minthara from Baldur's Gate 3. I've seen her put variously into the "chaotic evil" camp, because she's a drow's drow, except for having one faith shattering experience that severed her connenction to Lolth. Otherwise, she follows drow culture to a t - she definitely follows the external code of her culture. So, while on the surface she appears "chaotic", she is very, very lawful within her culture. Although, equally true to her culture, she follows it egotistically. #DnD #alignment #gaming #roleplaying #BaldursGate3 #Minthara
Currently working on a non-profit in #AISecurity ( https://oais.is ) with some critical work and are looking for hardware sponsoring. Primarily we are looking for Notebooks that we can run Linux on and burner phones.
I've tried to reach out to #tuxedo computers without feedback. Does anyone have a lead on linux focused hardware shops that offer sponsoring for non-profits?

"Success is making yourself proud and living aligned with what matters to you."
This stood out to me when I was listening to a podcast about what your life feels like vs what it looks like.

Tag yourself! I was Lawful Evil when I wrote on a typewriter (yes, I'm impossibly old). I changed alignment to Chaotic Good when I got a word processing program with multiple typefaces.
