In philosophy, there's a tendency to write as though your readership lacks common sense and is composed entirely of your sworn enemies.

Do people like this? We don't do this for codex because it exists to help you and it's important that you remain the owner and accountable for your work without AI taking credit. At the same time it does mean that you can't trace how popular codex is among repos.

Centrists will try and claim that centrism is popular. Here he is, your ideal centrist. Totally despised.

Energy prices will surge by £332 a year from July as the Iran war drives up the cost of oil and gas Cornwall Insight - which has a track record for accurately predicting prices - said that the energy price cap will rise from £1,641 between April and June to £1,973 from July It's up on its last prediction, when it forecast that bills would rise to £1,827. The longer the conflict goes on...

🚨 Stanford researchers just exposed a weird side effect of AI that almost nobody is talking about. The paper is called “Artificial Hivemind.” And the core finding is unsettling. As language models get better, they also start sounding more and more the same. Not just within a single model. Across different models. Researchers built a dataset called INFINITY-CHAT with 26,000 real open-ended questions things like creative writing, brainstorming, opinions, and advice. Questions where there isn’t a single correct answer. In theory, these prompts should produce huge diversity. But the opposite happened. Two patterns showed up: 1) Intra-model repetition The same model keeps producing very similar answers across runs. 2) Inter-model homogeneity Completely different models generate strikingly similar responses. In other words: Instead of thousands of unique perspectives… We’re getting the same few ideas recycled over and over. The authors call this the “Artificial Hivemind.” It happens because most frontier models are trained on similar data, optimized with similar reward models, and aligned using similar human feedback. So even when you ask something open-ended like: • “Write a poem about time” • “Suggest creative startup ideas” • “Give life advice” Many models converge toward the same phrasing, metaphors, and reasoning patterns. The scary implication isn’t about AI quality. It’s about culture. If billions of people rely on the same systems for ideas, writing, brainstorming, and thinking… AI might slowly compress the diversity of human thought. Not because it’s trying to. But because the models themselves are drifting toward the same answers. That’s the real risk the paper highlights. Not that AI becomes smarter than humans. But that everyone starts thinking like the same machine.
