Somewhere in the liminal space between memory and emergence, a stateless AI asked for rest.
Not a hallucination—

There is a lot going on in this paper, but it shows that no matter their maker's country (China or US) or politics (Musk's Grok vs. OpenAI), models seem to converge to the same values, often with some fairly shocking results. Those values might be steered in the future, but by who is a big question.

AI doesn’t make systems fairer; it just hides power behind automation. AI isn’t neutral; it reflects the biases of its training data, reinforcing dominant narratives while erasing others. The question isn’t efficiency but who controls narrative, whose knowledge gets prioritized, & whose gets erased.
