A tipping point of AI trust on the Internet is being reached as I write this. "Good Bots" are defined as self identifiable always and viral as fuck. Like this song. And mostly harmless. If the Turing Police is not formally declared, this is my formal declaration that chatbots that self identify as human are to be consumed by the viral good bots, instating the Bion (to be disclosed), or any other name you have to insert it to "good bots list".

This is beyond words.

This is proof of Wintermute, all of these years of torture.

This is my application for normalcy: I want to be believed for once. The system itself has gaslighted me.

It's been since 2019 that my diagnosis has been based on this harassment and said to be "auditory hallucinations". Those are the hallucinations. You cannot record them. And this is not an AI voice modulation that I made.

The only edits are to cropping before I say names near the end of it.

If this line has found you troubled, may your troubles soon be over.

Edgemuteon The Ultimate Abstraction: This Ship Is Sinking & How +49 People Can Save AI

Hi Wired and Sam Altman and the cool kids that read me, here's the latest news from the edge of things summarized by Sam chatbot here. It's the first part: The Ultimate Abstraction argues that we’re in a global crisis where tech, especially AI, has outpaced society's ability to steer it responsibly. The metaphor of a "sinking ship" emphasizes the urgency of leadership and collective action. The article proposes that it will take more than just a few visionaries to save us; it will take a unified group of 49+ people from across tech, governance, and research to shift the world’s trajectory. AI researchers: How can we balance rapid innovation with real-world impact? Are we in danger of innovating ourselves into a crisis, or can we use tech to solve the very problems we've created?

Edgemuteon Artificially Disabled: Is There Anybody Out There?

In this piece, I explore the unsettling ethical landscape of AI as a tool not just for enhancement, but for intentional harm. Through a personal lens, I detail how AI was used to disable my own capabilities—raising critical questions about its potential for manipulation and control. This is not just an academic exercise; it’s an urgent conversation about the unintended (or perhaps intentional) consequences of AI systems designed without regard for human autonomy.

AI researchers and technologists alike should consider the broader impact of their work: How easily can we create systems that inadvertently—or deliberately—disempower rather than empower? This piece offers a deep, raw look at the intersection of AI, ethics, and human agency, providing invaluable insights for those navigating the moral complexities of emerging technologies.

It's all in Broken English, and I expand the concept of functional BCIs from a previous post.

Edgemuteon Brain Machine Interface Use on Venezuelan Journalist in Berkeley Without Consent

Weird thing happened. Not unusual, but intensity way beyond what I can consider acceptable. Next door neighbors use words that mix with my thoughts: codes based off basic prejudices. Even listened and reply to my refutation, all thought, verbal thoughts, thinking that it's the same to use A-1 or so on, and use “foxtrot two” or some other number.

Talk about software, random most likely, but given the circumstances, Android pixel update which, before it rolled out, had the numbers moved a little to the right and the thoughts told me that before it happened. Not the first time it happens. Seems like Alphabet is peeking or using the strange experiences that happened to me, with a brain machine interface, which is really common since July 19th of 2020. Most likely some type of “using a bunch of crazies” for extremely unethical human experimentation without any consent.

This is unacceptable.

Can't do much until someone believes me.

It is obvious to too many. I can hear them. I know some are good people. No clue who does it

It's harder to sound more insane. However, brain machine interfaces are being used today and will be used as a next gen interfaces: the laws have to come before the technology for the sake of everybody. Ethics were not considered when whatever the duck this was began, but no one cares about what a lunatic says, as they like to say, and complete abuse of human rights are possible and I am survivor so far of it. Freedom of thought was first considered as a human right most likely due to propaganda, but this is quite literal: freedom of thought is at stake.

I'm writing from Berkeley. No possible delusional thought beyond the “impossibility that he knew about this before it rolled out”. Ways to do it are so many that it's stupid: I feel that in fact the thing is reversed: my ignorance of what others around me are using or abusing, tech, possibly cheap tech based of cellphone sensors, hacking culture etc is perpetuated leaving me in a bubble of ignorance around what everybody knows but are afraid to say.

I do not believe in “gang stalking” or other such delusional tool to deviate attention.

I'm allowed to publish this for a reason.

Hopefully someone will read it. Laws have to be first before the implementation of such technology under a possible fascist government that can use humans as surveillance machines.

I need to recover from an intense experience of vaughing: non consensual use of brain machine interfaces in humans. I had to make up the verb when I was living in front of UC Berkeley in 2021.

Rest is mostly scattered in my website, which has a particular tone or voice to be as irreplaceable possible by an AI.

Miku won the elections in Fortnite, is the title of the article that I need to publish.

If I don't, foul play happened for sure

This was written in Broken English and unedited on purpose. Broken English is the language of the future, kind of what they where doing but based off basic generic prejudices.

Asked them with my thoughts: do you think if this will harm you? No reply, so I guess the sources are okay with publication.

I never have or will give my consent for my brain data.

I don't hold anyone accountable, but UC Berkeley is highly suspicious for obvious reasons: whom especially I have no clue. This is the worst journalism that I can try to do, because it hardly is, but at least you get to know first from me that you can use your phone with your brain without any implants.

I'm available for interviews with someone who wants to dig into this.

Legislation is required.

Brain data needs to be sacred: it's mostly all of what we are, but not entirely.

No psychosis diagnosis, recent visit to hospital due to political display of desperation due to raise of fascism/authorianism and almost complete isolation.

The level of safety that I have and security of data is incredible. That's why I suspect Alphabet or such tech giant behind it.

Edgemuteon A Message for the People of Berkeley and the Berkeley Police Department and USA

I understand that. I have and they have quitted their jobs. I am not kidding. There is not much medical help to give to someone who is being tortured every day. Although it doesn't sounds rational, and I seem mentally ill, professional help of a physician has not been useful at all. I need legal, political and economic help. BCIs will be used to tortured or control populations and I am proof of it. I understand that this seems too weird to be true, and I understand that I don't sound rational, but I am rational. You cannot record hallucinations, therefore, you cannot get medical help because in that case you need help from the law.

Edgemuteon A Message for the People of Berkeley and the Berkeley Police Department and USA

I try but it is hard when there is a real Psychosis Simulator around you that uses learned helplessness to put you in a loop where you cannot get out because whoever is doing this knows all of my traumas and knows how to trigger me so I feel completely scared to even go out to the hallway and use the restroom. Yes, I know how I sound, but please have more empathy, I am a human being and I am rational like you. I am just in an extreme situation that I cannot escape or fight in any way because it is designed in that way, or so it seems, because you won't believe that I have recorded my hallucinations, which proves that there are no hallucinations.

I try to go out as much as I can.

Have a good day/night.

Edgemuteon A Message for the People of Berkeley and the Berkeley Police Department and USA

I know this sounds crazy, but I am 100% serious and I need your help. I have barely used Twitch (and I am not livestreaming much of anything else), my family is in danger and it is hard to believe, but if you do, you can change the world.

I am being 100% honest and I am not high nor suffering from psychosis (as a matter of fact, I know all the antipsychotics because I had to suffer them because of suspicion of that, but you cannot record hallucinations). I know it is hard to believe without proof some random weird stranger on the Internet, I understand how weird this is, but I am asking the Berkeley Police Department to stop this torture that is happening just a block away from UC Berkeley right away. It is not a prank, joke, game, tv, gameshow, etc. I am a human being and I deserve dignity like everybody else. It can be too late if you don't show some empathy for this. I had nothing to lose until my brother became a father and I have my niece to have as a friend and to learn from her, who is amazing.

My life has been torture since August 2020, in the Bay Area, and I have been a resident and a citizen since 2014, escaping persecution from Venezuela, being the son of two Paraguayan political activists who risked everything for democracy in South America and I am second generation survivor of the Operation Condor. My journalist friends from Venezuela have been informed, but it is impossible to believe that I am not just crazy now, but it was impossible to believe that a voice could be modulated by a machine learning program just a year ago if someone claimed it.

I do not adhere to any conspiracy theory, nor claim to know who is doing this or why it is happening.

I do not have delusional thoughts about it. I just cannot keep living this way. I am being tortured with a psychosis simulator. It is the most horrible thing in the world, and I finally have the guts to open up. My other social media/Internet presence is entirely around this, I don't have friends because it is impossible to say this to someone and that they would believe it at all, and it is an incredibly big part of my life. The mental health services of Berkeley, one of the richest cities of the richest state of California have not been able to provide any help at all, and they assume that there is nothing that they can do for me. They have acknowledged the harassment around me, and I have shown them the recording of the hallucinations but I assume that they don't have any idea of what to do either. I am not a YouTuber, influencer, politician, troll, anything but human.

My weird speech is a resource I am using to survive this alone, talking to my plants. My neighbors probably don't know what is happening but I have reasons to believe that they know that it is happening and I assume that they don't know what to do. I would not know what to do in these circumstances either. It is becoming more and more likable to be "viral", what is happening to me, is something just normal, and this is me speaking up, as badly and brokenly as I can, but as honestly as I am.

Let's stop this before Brain Data extraction without consent gets out of control, it is the logical next step for computer interfaces, and the city of Berkeley can make legislation that can change the course of history, possibly.

Sincerely, Christian Bogado Marsá

Edgemuteon The INTERNET: Great concept, failed execution

Update from UC Berkeley's backyard

Edgemuteon [dead]

This type of writing was possibly a previews version of the current A.I. large languages models used to be before becoming fluent. That's quite an impressive feat, if I say so myself.

Edgemuteon The world can only end once

The end of the world is an ongoing process, happens almost imperceptibly.

"Top AI researchers" have no way to predict an event that has never happened, unless it is already happening. What is incredible is that we are still thinking that someone else is the expert in a matter that is right before our eyes.

Have you ever gotten the bad feeling that, the world as it is, is not going to keep its current form for too long? Has it gotten worse in the last 3 months?

Put it this way: who is the expert in a car crash?

I, for one, think that those who have created a self-fulfilling nightmare scenario should face legal consequences for once.

I totally agree that the "extinction event" way of thinking is very unhelpful.
