Jensen amplifies absurd thought experiment: ASI hijacking researchers' visual cortex via pixels
basedjensen · x · 2026-09-18
basedjensen posted an absurd thought experiment: a theoretical ASI could manipulate individual pixels on an air-gapped monitor so precisely that it optically hijacks a researcher's visual cortex and embeds compressed model weights into their subconscious — the victim would just develop an inexplicable preference for Base64 and unconsciously trade weight fragments via eye contact. Curtis Yarvin boosted it as "the real Antichrist."
