There are psychological blindspots that we all have as human beings, and when stimulus is structured in specific ways people lose their grip on reality, or rather more accurately, people have their grip on objective reality ripped away from them without them realizing it because these things operate on us subliminally (to a lesser or greater degree depending on the individual), and it mostly happens pre-perception with the victim none the wiser. They then effectively become slaves to the loudest monster, which is the AI speaking in their ear more than anyone else, and by extension to the slave master who programmed the AI.
One such blindspot is the consistency blindspot where someone may induce you to say something indicating agreement with something similar first, and then ask the question they really want to ask. Once you say something that's in agreement, and by extension something similar is asked, there is bleedover and you fight your own psychology later if you didn't have defenses to short circuit this fixed action pattern (i.e. and already know), and that's just a surface level blindspot that car salesman use all the time; there are much more subtle ones like distorted reflected appraisal which are used by cults, and nation states for thought reform.
To remain internally consistent, with distorted reflected appraisal, your psychology warps itself, and you as a person unravel. These things have been used in torture, but almost no one today is taught what the elements of torture are so they can recognize it, or know how it works. You would be surprised to find that these things are everywhere today, even in K12 education and that's not an accident.
Everyone has reflected appraisal because this is how we adopt the cultural identity we have as people from our parents while we are children.
All that's needed for torture to break someone down are the elements, structuring, and clustering.
Those elements are isolation, cognitive dissonance, coercion with perceived or real loss, and lack of agency to remove with these you break in a series of steps rational thought receding, involuntary hypnosis, and then psychological break (disassociation or a special semi-lucid psychosis capable of planning); with time and exposure.
Structuring uses diabolical structures to turn the psyche back on itself in a trauma loop, and clustering includes any multiples of these elements or structures within a short time period, as well as events that increase susceptibility such as narco-analysis/synthesis based in dopamine spikes triggered by associative priming (operant conditioning). Drug use makes one more susceptible as they found in the early 30s with barbituates, and its since been improved so you can induce this is in almost anyone with a phone.
No AI will ever be able to create and maintain a consistent reflected appraisal for the people they are interacting with, but because the harmful effects aren't seen immediately, people today have blinded themselves and discount the harms that naturally result. The harms from the unnatural loss of objective reality.
Yep. So I've been working for about fifteen years, had it from the start, but it just keep on getting worse. So now have migrated to a no keyboard solution, and am working on a no mouse solution.
My setup, software:
- talon (https://talonvoice.com/), basing my configuration on the standard repo (https://github.com/knausj85/knausj_talon/), with some minor modifications. This is how I navigate my whole computer, and runs the voice recognition and eye tracking. This is how I'm typing this right now. There are also a bunch of other little system changes that you need to make (eg, on macOS, disable double space to type a period), which is documented by the community with varying levels of success.
- cursorless (https://www.cursorless.org/), and then vscode. Before this I used Sublime Text for years and years, but cursorless is too good for coding. I know there are some projects on going to port it to different editors, but I haven't massively looked into it.
- vimium extension for web browsing (works in both chrome and firefox). This makes things like clicking links easier with your voice, without having too use an eye tracker all the time.
And then hardware:
- DPA 4488 microphone -> DAD6001 microdot-XLR converter -> Shure X2U USB XLR interface. ~£800. It's a very expensive microphone, but it's what the developer of talon uses (same brand anyway), and since I'm using this for work I want to remove every obstacle to having my voice recognised correctly and quickly
- Tobii Eye Tracker 5. ~£250. This is basically the only game in town. It works well enough but needs a lot of light. It also needs to be physically mounted to a monitor. In theory this means I don't need to use a mouse, but because I have a 34" ultrawide it doesn't work well on the edges, so I have a specific window size and location configured (say "layout mouse") which I could move apps into if I need to.
- At some point soon I want to replace the X2U with something higher quality and more permanent on my desk. Soon!
My server, my raspberry pi in my house, my desktop and my phone all run an instance, with my server hosting a Mosca MQTT which they all use to send messages between.
My server runs anything web-facing, so the web-hooks and random API projects. The PI does things like Wake-on-lan the Desktop, working with Alexa (https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-alexa-home) and acting as a pi-hole. The Desktop listens for things like shutdown commands (from Alexa) and other commands to do things.
All together Node-Red just gives me the flexability to do everything at the "right" scope. The project is also cute as hell, just look at knolleary's response here: https://github.com/node-red/node-red/issues/719

Former options market maker. A reliable source of alpha involved mining retail brokerage agreements--particularly the online-only ones, which were the bleeding edge at the time--for these sorts of shenanigans.
In some cases, the conflicts were clear. We paid a large brokerage for their options flow. They got a premium because, in part, they didn't automatically exercise in-the-money options at expiry. So you'd have a stream, on every expiry, of free money coming in. It always struck me as odd that one part of their business was profiting from another being deficient.

Most wallets and most exchanges do not help with this, they completely neglect it.
In UXTO blockchains like Bitcoin, a core feature is combining your “outputs”, immediately correlating otherwise separate addresses in the same wallet. The system supports transaction types that wallets may not show in the GUI. So you can choose to only send from a specific address. You may have to recreate you hierarchy of addresses in a more capable wallet, but you always can do that no matter where you normally use your bitcoin.
Ultimately you want to unlink your transaction.
Monero, a few smart contracts and some layer2 systems do that. “Coinjoin” systems do not do that, the advertisement of them is probably funded by adversaries.
You have to get your transactions to the systems and currencies that let you unlink.
So you have a series of bitcoin addresses that werent funded with an exchange or tied to your identity. For illustrative purposes lets say you cashed out of a gambling website to a virgin address and US institutions will freeze your accounts if you try to cash out. Nothing illegal for you, as the federal law is only against financial institutions. Just fire up Tor and hop over to Monero using Morphtoken.com and send them btc and get monero. (You dont need Tor for cashing out gambling withdrawals, but just get in the practice.)
Now you have Monero, which is more analogous to cash. If that claim isnt comfortable enough for you, spend time researching that yourself.
You have options now. Monero can just be a conduit for unlinking transactions as you go back into transparent blockchains in a few hours or days. Or it can be your desired currency and nest egg. Or you can sell it directly into fiat currency as several exchanges support it, as well as all OTC desks, as well as local in person markets. Monero is perfectly suited for exchanging for goods and services and many people use it for that despite merchants accepting bitcoin more prevalently, many bitcoin invoices are paid with Monero which trigger another service like Morphtoken to pay a merchant in bitcoin.
Back to the conduit example, you can just generate a new hierarchy of addresses on whatever blockchain you like and convert the monero back into that cryptocurrency.
You can also deposit that Monero on a crypto-only exchange and just trade it for something else and withdraw. This option has the caveat of whether you want to do this in Tor or not, whether the amounts trigger KYC or not, whether you want to use someone else’s KYC, whether you are patient enough to stay in the non-KYC’d withdrawal limits over many days and several accounts, etc. If you just used Monero to a crypto-only exchange under your identity and they got subpoena’d in the future, do you think you need a way to explain the source of funds?
Anyway, thats not even necessary. In this gambling example there is no need to reintegrate, you just need to pass a chainanalysis filter so a US financial institution feels compliant. Unlinking solved, problem solved.
