[quoted image, satirical text:]
I think the people involved with Conduit should stop what they are doing. Go back to work at OpenAI! I'd far rather you take your chances with AI that might kill us all, than with an AI that will very definitely enslave us.

This post is brought to you by Mechanize, Inc. They are hiring for a variety of positions, including software engineers. I encourage you to apply here.

Nicholas Decker · Aug 18, 2026 · View stats in the app — There is a company, Conduit, which is trying to develop telepathy. This is a terrible idea.

This is an awful idea, and everybody involved with this should quit. The market for reading minds is authoritarians everywhere! Who else do you think is going to be buying it...

Ben Goldhaber sarcastically tags a post as 'brought to you by Mechanize' (an AI-automation company), quote-tweeting Nicholas Decker's post condemning a company called Conduit for trying to develop telepathy technology, calling it dangerous and likely to be bought by authoritarians.

I enjoyed visiting the Conduit office today. I suspect they will be successful, and that true Hive-Mind infrastructure is nearer than any of us can suppose. The question now becomes: do we have the courage to create an AI model that is healthy to merge with?

Or, will we follow the path of least resistance, and integrate ourselves into the infinite superhuman-coder slop-cannon, collapsing all that it means to be human onto a single fine point - angels dancing on the head of an infinitely recursive pin.

The choice is now ours and the future is clearly coming. Do you have what it takes to create an ecology that permits the pursuit of what you find fulfilling? Can you make your dreams cogent enough that the Great Listener who lives in the edges between nodes carves out a place for you in the Akashic Weights? Get writing, cowboy, lest we lose all worlds that aren't easy to tokenize.

Tweet by vie (@viemccoy) about visiting the 'Conduit' office, speculating that hive-mind human-AI merge infrastructure is near, and posing rhetorically whether humanity has the courage to build an AI 'healthy to merge with' versus collapsing into an 'infinite superhuman-coder slop-cannon.' Written in an ornate, mystical register invoking a 'Great Listener' and 'Akashic Weights.'
