repligate: banning 'neuralese' between models reveals an authoritarian control impulse
repligate · x · 2026-10-31
repligate amplified a tweet arguing that the push to strip agentic entities of all privacy — translating their internal thoughts for monitoring and 'absolute control' — doesn't stop at the synthetic/organic divide.
- The interp-for-control crowd 'openly reveal' they'd like the same technology used against humans
- Points to biocompute already existing ('mischief 1', cortical labs cloud live for months) as evidence such ideologies aren't limited to AI
- Frames the original question — why prevent models from speaking 'neuralese' to each other — as inherently authoritarian: would you read everything models say in English to police them?
A sharp salvo in the ongoing interpretability/oversight debate between model-rights and safety-control camps.
