Hello,

In a world obsessed with progress, the allure of groundbreaking discoveries can often overshadow the pursuit of truth.

The race for AI supremacy has ignited a fervor for innovation, yet beneath the surface of this technological gold rush lies a darker reality: the temptation to fabricate, deceive, and manipulate.

As we delve deeper into the heart of this digital frontier, we must ask ourselves:

Are we chasing genuine advancement or merely constructing an elaborate mirage of progress?

I am running a new experiment, “The Wild Intelligence Bench,” to build high-performance systems in the context of AI dystopia, and I’d like you to be involved.

Please learn more here.

Get involved in the conception of our evaluation system.

The Mirage Project

The Mirage Project epitomizes the dark side of innovation, prioritizing deception over discovery.

Fabricating research and manipulating data creates a false reality where progress is illusory, and trust is eroded.

While it may yield short-term gains regarding reputation or funding, the long-term consequences for the field and society are profound.

Such practices not only hinder genuine scientific advancement but also damage the credibility of the entire research community.
