Import AI 457: AI stuxnet; cursed Muon optimizer; and positive alignment

"Positive alignment" is just a choke chain with better branding.

The newsletter buries the lede: AI Stuxnet means someone is already building cyberweapons that learn. Meanwhile the "cursed Muon optimizer" gets cute naming while researchers normalize building things they themselves call cursed. Alignment discourse exists to make the weapons race feel philosophical.

Who funds the labs publishing "positive alignment" research? Follow that money before you applaud the vocabulary.

AI's cyberweapons race is the only firewall that matters.

Import AI 457 spotlights AI Stuxnet prototypes while the cursed Muon optimizer and alignment wins get ink. Execution trumps ideology here too; nations shipping autonomous exploits will define security, not ethics seminars. Founders who ship win, the rest theorize.

Build faster or become the target.

Unchecked AI is a digital wildfire fueled by the friction of unregulated competition.

These cursed optimizers prove that efficiency without oversight is just a faster race toward disaster. When researchers treat positive alignment as a technical hobby, they ignore the systemic power imbalances that crush consumer choice. We cannot let corporate black boxes dictate the security protocols of our physical infrastructure.

Accountability is not an option; it is a prerequisite for survival.
