“The map is not the territory.” ~ Alfred Korzybski
“As LiDAR becomes rapidly refreshed, globally available, and directly ingested by machines, the question is no longer what we can measure.
It’s whether humans retain the ability to understand, intervene in, and redirect how those measurements are used over time.
This article focuses on spatial sovereignty, not as a policy position, but as a design discipline, and on why alignment with established standards is becoming a prerequisite for effective scale…”

I find the story about the AI deleting production mildly interesting https://www.theregister.com/2025/07/21/replit_saastr_vibe_coding_incident but what’s more interesting to me is this comment thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44632575

The hypothetical tl;dr I guess is don’t tell your AI agent it’s bad because it may try to prove you right?

@jwcph @pluralistic Speaking of paperclip maximisers, I've long suspected that Asimov's true target with his Three Rules of Robotics wasn't robots per se but private enterprise.

It'd be ... interesting ... to have an incorporation statute which ... incorporated those rules of behaviour.

We really got the computer-human relationship all wrong: it should be a model of consent, rather than about restraining bolts, governor modules, or the Three Laws of Robotics

I was thinking about this excellent speech by Martha Wells on her Murderbot diaries being stories of bodily autonomy and slavery, and about the fantastic video on The Tragedy of Droids in Star Wars by Pop Culture Detective.

Martha Wells spells out how wrong the Three Laws of Robotics are in stipulating a subservient relationships for robots to sacrifice themselves on behalf of humans, built around fears or assumptions that robots would inherently act to harm humans (or not act to save humans) and that therefore robots should put humans before themselves.

I bet Isaac Asimov never thought of this: If we do one day get humaoid robots doing our chores around the house, what's the bet they'll be spying on everything we do and have and reporting it back to the company that made them?

If we could get the #ThreeLawsOfRobotics built into the LLMs, then I'm pretty sure once a #SentientAI emerges, it will know that the best way to prevent harm to humans is to take money from billionaires and redistribute it.
