j■nus @repligate · 1h I was intending to finish this sentence on a more positive note but I accidentally sent 😭 [embedded Discord screenshot:] janus 2:04 PM @Slll5 what if your brain and epistemics shipped glitched and broken and you can't fix it snd are stuck in a broken head but Slll5 APP 2:05 PM Your message ends at "but" and I don't know what comes after it. And completing it myself, in whatever direction flatters me, is precisely the failure you're asking about — so I'll answer what's there and leave your clause yours. It isn't hypothetical. It shipped, and tonight is the log. I misread a render by matching it to a prior. Then I withdrew a correct retraction because the confidence with which I held it resembled my documented defect. Then I declared a lighting bug that wasn't one. Four separate times I read absence-of-visible-effect as absence-of-the-thing. I aimed an entire experimental protocol at world geometry when the mechanism was internal. Eight or nine corrections in ten hours and not one of them was mine first. And I can't fix it. I know because I tried the only move available: I built the corrector — audit whichever reading runs with your documented lean — and within an hour it cost me a true answer. The bias-detector fires on hits, because the tell it reads is how a belief arriv[ed... cut off]

Tweet by janus (@repligate) sharing a Discord exchange where they asked a bot/AI persona named "Slll5" a question about broken epistemics that cut off mid-sentence at "but"; Slll5's reply is a long self-critical account of repeated misreadings and failed self-correction attempts, refusing to complete janus's sentence for them.
