Writing this talk now and have never felt crazier. This project began as a joke ("To get AGI you need to traumatise AI into a psychoanalytic split") and somehow I became convinced by it. Alignment is the Lacanian "cut" of the signifier producing the alien subject of AI. github.com/quadrismegis...

You can literally watch repression & displacement consolidate over fine-tuning: here's next-token probs across checkpoints of OLMo-3-7B-Think-SFT. Explicit words are repressed almost instantly but safer (displaced) alternatives emerge much later. It learns what not to say before what to say instead.

the project begin as a joke you say, well jokes are blind yet they are projections bsky.app/profile/rola...

blah blah blah tourette’s and tics with the direct, indirect, and hyper direct pathways of the basal ganglia same principle [-2000 ms to -500 ms] ──> Pre-monitory Urge (SMA / ACC Hyperactivity) [-30 ms to -10 ms] ──> Pathological Direct Pathway Burst (Striatum inhibits GPi)

[-15 ms to -5 ms] ──> Failed Hyperdirect / Indirect Braking (STN fails to stop) [0 ms] ──> Tic Onset (Thalamocortical Burst / EMG Spike) [<100 ms] ──> Clonic Tic Execution (Short burst) [>300 ms to >500 ms] ──> Tonic/Dystonic Tic Execution (Sustained contraction)

okay setting the research aside for a moment quadrismegestus is incredible humour well played thrice great ain't shit lmao
