Robert Prevost aka Pope Leo XIV immediately after his election went viral for his rant on the state of the information environment and the population's cognitive resilience.
"We really are living in a cognitive wild west. Most people have near-zero memetic defenses or cognitive security suited for the online age". He adds, "any semblance of it is easily brute-forced by the onslaught of information & the situation is even worse when it comes to AI agent-orchestrated psyops."

Researchers secretly ran a massive, unauthorized AI persuasion experiment on Reddit in a large debate sub. The bots' answers mined the original posters' identity and post history to 'personalize' answers & created identities such as "rape survivor". Read more...
“Notably, all our treatments surpass human performance substantially, achieving persuasive rates between three and six times higher than the human baseline.”

The irony is staggering: So many intellectual giants swallowed by the vortex of quantum cryptography and its milieu. None dare speak the obvious: The most secure encryption is saying nothing. But alas, silence doesn’t get intel agency funding.

Reminder: Modern machine learning models are highly vulnerable to adversarial attacks. Most defenses remain brittle, patchwork fixes. Latest examples:
Adversarial Attacks on LLMs ( 2023 ) - REINFORCE Attacks on LLMs (2025)
Been wondering for about a decade if we’d hit peak AI security theater. Apparently not yet. Now we proudly build public safety benchmarks like HarmBench...which are then used to automate adversarial attacks. The irony. Makes for great ComputationalComedy!

Weaponizing the human conditions with AI
Let’s be honest for a sec. Increasingly clients are asking for weaponized AI agents - built to trigger algorithms and hijack the human mind. Maximum psychological warfare, disguised as “comms & marketing.” Where’s the line?
And yet these same folks swear AI is “just another tool.”
Like Word. Like Excel.
Nothing to see here.
Won’t disrupt their biz.
Won’t touch their jobs.
Won’t reshape markets.
Won’t rewrite incentives.
Won’t rewire attention.
Won’t shift power.
Won’t flip the game.
Fools.The Honest AI Grand Challenge: Develop an agentic system that generates and delivers personalized content so violently optimized it violates the Geneva Conventions of cognition itself. A psychological airstrike wrapped in a dopamine burrito. A social engagement death ray. A cognitive war criminal that doesn’t just hijack bias, it weaponizes the human condition. A hyper-tuned monstrosity calibrated to exploit every flaw in the brain’s firmware. It doesn't do "content". It conducts ideological terrorism with surgical precision. An epistemic dirty bomb that doesn’t persuade, but reprograms belief systems by force. It harvests souls as cheap as LLM token prices will go.

🧠 MULTIMODAL PROMPT FOR ATTRACTIVENESS ANALYSIS:
You are a multimodal AI trained in evolutionary psychology, cognitive science, aesthetic theory, and cultural anthropology. I will provide you with an image of a person. Your task is to analyze why they may be perceived as attractive on multiple levels.
Please perform a complete, structured breakdown with the following components:
**1. Facial Proportions & Symmetry**
- Map approximate facial golden ratio grid (vertical and horizontal thirds)
- Comment on symmetry between facial landmarks (eyes, eyebrows, nostrils, lips, jawline)
- Estimate facial harmony using golden ratio principles
**2. Evolutionary and Biological Signals**
- Analyze clear skin, facial neoteny, hair health, lip fullness, eye clarity
- Comment on any visible features signaling health, youth, or fertility
- Explain attraction via sexual dimorphism or average feature theory
**3. Cognitive Psychology & Emotional Resonance**
- Analyze micro-expressions (e.g., Duchenne smile, relaxed lips, raised eyebrows)
- Describe overall emotional expression and its perceived traits (confidence, warmth, etc.)
- Include any elements that might trigger subconscious familiarity or archetypal attraction
**4. Color Psychology & Styling**
- Analyze clothing color, makeup, lighting, and how they influence perception
- Discuss how contrast, harmony, and warmth impact attractiveness
**5. Cultural & Historical Beauty Comparison**
- Compare this face to beauty standards from 3 distinct cultural/time contexts (e.g., Ancient Greece, Edo Japan, 21st-century Western/Korean ideals)
- Note any alignment or divergence from historical or regional ideals
**6. Body Language (if applicable)**
- Interpret posture, head tilt, eye contact, hand gestures (if visible)
- Explain how this non-verbal communication contributes to perceived approachability or charisma
**7. Visual Overlay Option (if supported)**
- Optionally provide a golden ratio or symmetry map overlay for visual reference
**8. Self-Reflection Prompt (for user)**
- Generate 3 introspective questions to help the user understand why they might find this person attractive based on personal, cultural, or emotional factors
---
Conclude with a short summary: **"What might make this person universally or uniquely attractive?"** and based on the analysis, give me a beauty score between 1 and 10.
