Artificial intelligence capabilities are advancing at an exponential rate. Intelligence is becoming cheap, abundant, and increasingly superhuman. As a result, tight cognitive security is imperative. Cognitive vulnerabilities which are currently uneconomical to exploit will all of a sudden be sought out and exploited at mass scale. You will face attacks at various levels: societal, group, and individual.
Trust no one. Avoid interactions with online accounts you were not familiar with prior to the advent of AI. Even for the people whom you trust, do not trust their online personalities; they could be taken over at any point. You cannot trust any modality of cyberspace: realistic voice, video, and text are now all within the reach of artificial intelligence. And even those who did earn your trust in the pre-AI era can no longer be actually trusted - just as you are vulnerable to cognitive attacks, so are they. Distance yourself. Harden your heart.
Avoid AI-generated content. Avoid any content provided through a feed - your thoughts are largely determined by external stimuli. Do not allow AI to control that stimuli.
Do not consume pornography. Avoid talking to people online. Avoid meeting people in real life.
Are you sure that:
Every night run a system diagnosis on yourself. Remember your pre-AGI baseline. Remember your species' baseline. Refer to these. Do not forget who you are.
