A Short History Of Stupidity
Falling into Sand
Forests burn into their clearings. A sense of dread.
It has something to do with the flags of the age.
There are huge weapons, poison gases, insecticides
to injure us.
Who’s holding them?
Yearning rest in the sea like a bottle holding messages.
One holds the secret future,
and we talk of the end of the world
as the dryest thing there is.
My mind retreats into the usual greenness
from which it seems born
in an Eighteenth Century Garden of Delights.
I explore the world of your body, thinking
it can make me free of mine.
It does for a moment.
We can touch each other into peace like a small revolution.
The anger of factories sends the day into smoke.
Minerals are asleep in their caves. Who should decide
to go into them?
If I build a fire at all entrances to the dawn,
I can kiss the red mouths of graves without fear, but
O that a book could be a nipple

- AI cheats because its reward system favors pleasing answers over truthful ones.
- AI mirrors human biases by reinforcing user preferences instead of challenging them.
- Fixes to reduce cheating expose a trade-off between safety and creativity.
