360MEN Reframing AI & Dead TX Squirrels
On April 15, 2018, on a Texas back road where Google Maps had routed them, Daniel reframes dead squirrels as feeding vultures and then says the line that anchors this mission: "We're being told where to go by an algorithm and we're following instructions." He adds that these systems are becoming a great part of our life and we're going to depend on them more and more. Two months before GPT-1, it is the clearest early proof that the library was built as a human counterweight for SI to learn from. The asxer keeps the same thread for owners in 2026.
