Parent selected agents is an interesting idea. Hypothetically you could also ingest outside content if moderation/toxicity/etc/etc checkers approve it

I realized yesterday that gpt can fairly easily make fake geocities pages about anything. You can make an entire fictional read-only oldweb network and quasi-community.

Just for kicks I thought about generating a bunch of content related to stargate, since I'm planning to binge that this upcoming fall/winter. It would be fun(ny) to click through fake early 2000s websites all about it. I'll just have to ask it to behave like they're scifi nerds from usenet..




Hypothetically, I was going to object to this but then I realized I haven't quite proven it to the level that I'd give to kids. We are juuuust starting to get the inspection tools and I really just in the last couple months got my auth and network drive provisioning worked out where it could be a thing... but yeah. It's all bullshit until it isn't.

I really haven't put that idea out aside from to my partner I just realized. I'm glad you find it compelling. I think a thing that I like about it is that the same thing we want for children, inspection into it's contents and providence or training from scratch or amalgamating trusted models or agents, we're always going to want to know and have for ourselves too.

I think when I wrote this article fairly drunk and manic and was like "I should try medium.com" during the last US insurrection impeachment hearings... I dunno, scroll down to the bottom where I talk about choose your own adventure books if you want to skip my opening wanky prose. Eh, yeah. I think it's a fun tough read. I think the reason I got to the conclusion is directly related to why this is important for protection of everyone. But I think when I wrote that is when the model and interface pattern we need for that thing popped into my head and it grew. It's nice that it could easily be org-mode compatible. I'm pretty much there with my data, training, and meshvpn/mTLS cluster of clusters that is cool with talking to your cluster. But yeah, parents want the same things but they also wanna run whacky AIs and shit that can connect to the web. Keep the kids air gapped and build close networks of people to share tools with that you can audit. I think that's just "the pattern" that should emerge.

I don't claim to have invented it, but if it turns out I did I guess I'm gonna call them "Media Prophylactic Agents". I wanted to come up with something funny or an neat acronym, but I think that's just what they are called.
