🎩✨ Ah yes, the long con of #LLMs, a mere extension of Pascal's #cunning plan to trick us all with mechanical marvels since 1623. Who needs progress when we can just blame the badgers? 🦡🔮

What knowing Judgment, or what piercing Eye,
Can Man’s mysterious Maze of Falshood try?
Intriguing Man, of a suspicious Mind,
Man only knows the Cunning of his Kind;
With equal Wit can counter-work his Foes,
And Art with Art, and Fraud with Fraud oppose.
Then heed ye Fair, e’er you their Cunning prove,
And think of Treach’ry, while they talk of Love.Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) American statesman, scientist, philosopher, aphorist
Poor Richard (1742 ed.)More info about this quote: wist.info/franklin-benjamin/79…

A quotation from La Rochefoucauld
The surest method of being deceived is to believe that one is cleverer than others.

Hard poem, but reflects how I feel these days…
Acid - #MaryOliver
In Jakarta,
among the venders
of #flowers and soft drinks,
I saw a child with a hideous mouth,
#begging,
and I knew the #wound was made
for a way to stay alive.
What I gave him
wouldn’t keep a dog alive.
What he gave me
from the brown coin
of his sweating face
was a look of #cunning.
I carry it
like a bead of acid
to remember how,
once in a while,
you can creep out of your own life
and become someone else—
an #explosion
in that nest of wires
we call the #imagination.
I will never see him
again, I suppose.
But what of this rag,
this shadow
flung like a boy’s body
into the walls
of my mind, bleeding
their sour taste—
#insult and #anger,
the great movers? -
“Cain sired evil cunning man-killers banished from heartlove born in hatred giants and fiends jealous man-eaters long without penance.”
