From one piece The Dark Forest and Generative AI 8 beliefs, in the piece's order there
-
Their words
As the forest grows darker, noisier, and less human, I expect to invest more time in in-person relationships and communities. And while I love meatspace, this still feels like a loss.
-
Their words
We have designed a system that automates a standardised way of writing. We have codified la langue at a specific point in time.
-
Their words
In a world of automated intelligence, our goalposts for intelligence will shift. We’ll raise our quality bar for what we expect from humans.

-
Their words
Referencing obscure concepts, friends who are real but not famous, niche interests, and recent events all make you plausibly more human.
-
Their words
Every time you find a new favourite blog or Twitter account or Tiktok personality online, you’ll have to ask: Is this really a whole human with a rich and complex life like mine?
-
Their words
Easier said than done, but one of the best ways to prove you’re not a predictive language model is to demonstrate critical and sophisticated thinking.
-
Their words
But I think the sheer volume and scale of what’s coming will be meaningfully different. And I think we’re unprepared.

Nothing matches.
What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
