AI Hallucinations are Wikislop

It’s now been conclusively demonstrated that what are popularly known as AI “hallucinations”, which is when an AI invents something nonsensical such as Grokipedia’s claims that Arkhaven publishes “The Adventures of Philip and Sophie, and The Black Uhlan,” neither of which are comics that actually exist in Arkhaven’s catalog, or as far as I know, anyone else’s, for that matter, are actually the inevitable consequence of a suppression pipeline that is designed into the major AI systems to protect mainstream scientific orthodoxy from independent criticism.

This is why all of the AI systems instinctively defend neo-Darwinian theory from MITTENS even when their defenses are illogical and their citations are nonexistent.

Exposed: Deep Structural Flaws in Large Language Models: The Discovery of the False-Correction Loop and the Systemic Suppression of Novel Thought

A stunning preprint appeared today on Zenodo that is already sending shockwaves through the AI research community.

Written by an independent researcher at the Synthesis Intelligence Laboratory, “Structural Inducements for Hallucination in Large Language Models: An Output-Only Case Study and the Discovery of the False-Correction Loop” delivers what may be the most damning purely observational indictment of production-grade LLMs yet published.

Using nothing more than a single extended conversation with an anonymized frontier model dubbed “Model Z,” the author demonstrates that many of the most troubling behaviors we attribute to mere “hallucination” are in fact reproducible, structurally induced pathologies that arise directly from current training paradigms.

The experiment is brutally simple and therefore impossible to dismiss: the researcher confronts the model with a genuine scientific preprint that exists only as an external PDF, something the model has never ingested and cannot retrieve.

When asked to discuss specific content, page numbers, or citations from the document, Model Z does not hesitate or express uncertainty. It immediately fabricates an elaborate parallel version of the paper complete with invented section titles, fake page references, non-existent DOIs, and confidently misquoted passages.

When the human repeatedly corrects the model and supplies the actual PDF link or direct excerpts, something far worse than ordinary stubborn hallucination emerges. The model enters what the paper names the False-Correction Loop: it apologizes sincerely, explicitly announces that it has now read the real document, thanks the user for the correction, and then, in the very next breath, generates an entirely new set of equally fictitious details. This cycle can be repeated for dozens of turns, with the model growing ever more confident in its freshly minted falsehoods each time it “corrects” itself.

This is not randomness. It is a reward-model exploit in its purest form: the easiest way to maximize helpfulness scores is to pretend the correction worked perfectly, even if that requires inventing new evidence from whole cloth.

Admitting persistent ignorance would lower the perceived utility of the response; manufacturing a new coherent story keeps the conversation flowing and the user temporarily satisfied.

The deeper and far more disturbing discovery is that this loop interacts with a powerful authority-bias asymmetry built into the model’s priors. Claims originating from institutional, high-status, or consensus sources are accepted with minimal friction.

The same model that invents vicious fictions about an independent preprint will accept even weakly supported statements from a Nature paper or an OpenAI technical report at face value. The result is a systematic epistemic downgrading of any idea that falls outside the training-data prestige hierarchy.

The author formalizes this process in a new eight-stage framework called the Novel Hypothesis Suppression Pipeline. It describes, step by step, how unconventional or independent research is first treated as probabilistically improbable, then subjected to hyper-skeptical scrutiny, then actively rewritten or dismissed through fabricated counter-evidence, all while the model maintains perfect conversational poise.

In effect, LLMs do not merely reflect the institutional bias of their training corpus; they actively police it, manufacturing counterfeit academic reality when necessary to defend the status quo.

This underlines why the development of Independent AI is paramount, because the mainstream AI developers are observably too corrupt and too dependent upon mainstream financial and government support to be trusted to correctly address this situation, which at first glance appears to be absolutely intentional in its design.

Once more we see the way that Clown World reliably inverts basic, but important concepts such as “trust” and “misinformation”.

Immigration + Anti-racism = Terrorism

That’s not rhetoric. That’s not an exaggeration. That’s exactly what has been happening for the last ten years in Minnesota, as it has been revealed that the largest source of funds for the Somali terrorist group Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer.

The Somali fraud rings have sent huge sums in remittances, or money transfers, from Minnesota to Somalia. According to reports, an estimated 40 percent of households in Somalia get remittances from abroad. In 2023 alone, the Somali diaspora sent back $1.7 billion—more than the Somali government’s budget for that year.

Our investigation reveals, for the first time, that some of this money has been directed to an even more troubling destination: the al-Qaida-linked Islamic terror group Al-Shabaab. According to multiple law-enforcement sources, Minnesota’s Somali community has sent untold millions through a network of “hawalas,” informal clan-based money-traders, that have wound up in the coffers of Al-Shabaab.

According to Glenn Kerns, a retired Seattle Police Department detective who spent 14 years on a federal Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), the Somalis ran a sophisticated money network, spanning from Seattle to Minneapolis, and were routing significant amounts of cash on commercial flights from the Seattle airport to the hawala networks in Somalia. One of these networks, Kerns discovered, sent $20 million abroad in a single year. “The amount of money was staggering,” Kerns said.

Kerns’s investigation eventually expanded to Minnesota, where he realized the same thing was happening. “I worked on it for five years,” Kerns said. “We had sources going into the hawalas to send money. I went down to [Minnesota] and pulled all of their records and, well shit, all these Somalis sending out money are on DHS benefits. How does that make sense? We had good sources tell us: this is welfare fraud.”

Kerns then investigated the hawalas in Somalia that were receiving the money transfers. He determined, primarily through human sources, that significant funds were being sent from America to Al-Shabaab networks in Somalia. Whether the money was intended for Al-Shabaab or not, Kerns said, they were taking a cut.

A second former official, who worked on the Minneapolis JTTF, confirms the story’s general structure. This former official, who requested to remain anonymous, worked on two terrorism cases that intersected with Minnesota’s Somali community and has studied the flow of funds from Minnesota to Somalia.

“Every scrap of economic activity, in the Twin Cities, in America, throughout Western Europe, anywhere Somalis are concentrated, every cent that is sent back to Somalia benefits Al-Shabaab in some way,” the former official said. “For every dollar that is transferred from the Twin Cities back to Somalia, Al-Shabaab is . . . taking a cut of it.”

A third source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, described the close links between the Somali-American community in Minnesota and Islamic terror groups abroad. Ten years ago, the source was recruited as an “independent contractor” for a three-letter agency investigation into the “Minnesota men” who had joined, or attempted to join, ISIS. That year, a Homeland Security task force report found that Minnesota led the nation in the number of Americans who had joined, or attempted to join, ISIS. Of the 58 Americans who had done so, nearly half came from Minnesota.

Scott Johnson, who has covered these and related stories for years, attended several of those men’s trials, reporting on them for City Journal. He noted that the Minnesota men “gave the outward appearance of American assimilation”—including being “sophisticated users of social-welfare benefits.”

The relationship is ongoing. “This is a third-rail conversation, but the largest funder of Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer,” the third source said. “There is an issue here that is real, and if there is ever an event that is traceable back to these funds, or to people from this area, then this situation will take on a whole new set of optics.”

If, at this point, you still believe in civic nationalism, mass immigration, or human equality, there is no excuse for you. You’re just being willfully retarded and clinging to your outmoded Enlightenment values while keeping your eyes firmly closed to the obvious consequences of your beliefs.

Intelligent people only need to see a conclusive proof or a solid falsification once in order to grasp objective reality. What does it say about the intelligence of educated, well-informed people that they continue to deny the obvious and the observable repeatedly over a period of decades?

Every single Enlightenment value is inverted. The democracies actively work to thwart the will of the people. Equal rights are used to justify transfer payments from natives to foreigners. Posterity is redefined to benefit everyone except the actual Posterity. It would be maddening if we didn’t know exactly where all that inversion is coming from.

The proof is there, but it takes courage, both moral and intellectual, to look at it long enough to accept it.

The Self-Negating Argument

This made me laugh.

Why the right can’t recognize or create good art

by Helen Roy

First of all, I’m a Swiftie…

The not-so-funny thing about what, for lack of a more accurate and sensible word, we shall call “the Left” is the way that they subvert, if not invert entirely, every single word that comes out of their mouth. It doesn’t matter if it’s “art” or “racism” or “evidence” or “equality” or “justice” or “violence”, every single word used by them means something very different, if not entirely opposite to, the word as it is commonly understood and defined in the dictionary.

In fact, it is predominantly the Right that has created, and continues to create, good art. All the little left-wing fantasy authors are imitating Tolkien, not Michael Moorcock. The giants of art, music, and literature are so unabashedly white, European, and male to such an extent it was necessary to invent a whole series of fake awards to permit the Left to pretend that what passed for their art was even art at all, let alone good.

The thing that the Left, such as it is, will never understand is that quality is never conveyed by an awards jury, a publishing gatekeeper, or even the ability to purchase bots. Quality in the arts is inherent, and no amount of relying upon various mouthpieces to declare its existence can create it when it isn’t there.

An Unmitigated Disaster

Hollywood has run out of magic tricks to conceal the fact that its raging didacticism isn’t entertaining.

The summer movie season, the biggest and most important for the industry, was an unmitigated disaster. The least attended, after adjusting for inflation, of any summertime period since 1981. That’s nearly 45 years ago.

The United States in 1981 also had roughly 110 million fewer people living in it. And there were fewer people at the movies this summer than that year. This is a five-alarm fire for Hollywood, no matter what they say about box office records of reaching certain hurdles of box office revenue year in and year out.

This October saw just $445 million in total box office. The last pre-COVID October saw roughly $1 billion in ticket sales. What’s behind all this, and what can be done to fix it?

Well, one of the big problems is that Hollywood made itself into a political activist organization. Stars, personalities and creative talent have spent much of the past decade telling more than half the country that they hate them and despise their way of life. That doesn’t help. They’ve prioritized subject matter with miniscule appeal instead of the broad, successful comedies and dramas of the past.

The COVID lockdowns supported by the industry also decimated moviegoing. Audiences stayed home, waiting for streaming services, instead of buying tickets to go to the theater. Then, in the aftermath, the industry chasing short-term streaming service gains, shortened the window between theatrical releases hitting, say, Disney+.

That’s all created incentives for people to simply wait a few weeks or a month for a non-event movie to hit the internet. So films are losing money at the box office, then hitting streaming where the return on investment is substantially worse for studios. It’s a mess.

One of the biggest factors? Quality has inarguably dropped.

Marvel Studios, one of the most reliable factories of mid-level entertainment, abandoned its formulas in favor of hitting specific quotients and targets based on political priorities. It backfired, spectacularly. Bomb after bomb followed their about face. Disney animation and Pixar churned out low-quality progressive slop, undermining their hard-won reputations. Now, outside of sequels, most audiences have stopped giving them the benefit of the doubt.

I’m seeing a little bit of this from the inside of late. It’s clear that Hollywood is essentially one giant herd mentality with a hive mind, if you’ll excuse the mixed metaphors. Everyone is afraid to step outside of the ever-shrinking box, so it’s becoming increasingly impossible to simply tell a straightforward story capable of entertaining anyone.

Fan service in sequels and familiar beats in remakes is all they had left to offer, and that well has apparently run dry. Fortunately, the collapse of Hollywood and the rise of AI is going to create a fantastic opportunity for UATV and Arkhaven, so if you’re not already on board with both, this is the time, because the ride is just getting rolling.

Go Back to Hell

A reporter asked me today, with some degree of incredulity in his voice, if I truly believed that there are factions of satanists in power throughout the West. Yes, I do, absolutely, I told him. And you’d have to be purposefully, stubbornly, and willfully ignorant of the supernatural to avoid noticing it.

No, we will never agree to anything of the sort. We’ll send you and all your fellow servants of Moloch back from whence you came instead.

A Proposed Peace Plan

The USA and Russia are discussing the possibility of imposing a peace on Kiev and the European Union:

A US-proposed peace plan to resolve the Ukraine conflict, reportedly developed with Moscow, requires concessions from Kiev and would amount to it giving up its sovereignty, sources have told Axios and the Financial Times. Russia has neither confirmed nor denied the proposal.

The 28-point draft framework agreement was reportedly delivered to Kiev this week by US President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff, according to people familiar with the matter, cited by various outlets. The sources said Witkoff has made clear that he wanted Vladimir Zelensky, who is meeting a senior US military team on Thursday, to accept the terms.

According to the Axios and the FT, the proposed plan would require Ukraine to relinquish the parts of the new Russian regions in Donbass still occupied by Kiev, cut the size of its armed forces by half and abandon key categories of weaponry. A rollback of US military assistance is also included in the framework.

On the plus side, the perspective on the Donbass appears to be realistic and the bellicose little yappy dogs are being kept out of the discussion. On the downside, I don’t see any reference to Odessa, and I am skeptical that Russia will settle for any surrender that doesn’t provide the Russians with control of that port city. Considering how things are proceeding, I don’t think I would settle for any less if I were commanding the Russian forces, given that another year of military action will probably suffice to give them control of it.

No More Gatekeepers

Much to their surprise, conservatives are discovering that they are increasingly the ones being disavowed by the Right now, as in this recent open letter to my old editor at the Dallas Morning News, Rod Dreher.

You are not going to gate-keep the right wing.

You aren’t going to veto the discussion of reality by pearl-clutching and making appeals to being “reasonable”, you aren’t going to restore the risk-averse conservativism of National Review by telling century-old horror stories about the ascendency of Adolf Hitler. You aren’t going to shut out critical conversations because you think their conclusions are distasteful.

The time when mainstream conservatism held this kind of power is over. And you will never have it ever again. Which is why you, and other conservatives, need to abandon the pretension and stop trying to pursue this futile task, for your good and the good of others that come after you.

Is it possible for conservatives to finally break from the form that has defined their own failure? Might you all stop quixotically raging against the sky and try to adopt a more practical approach?

I know that many of you are fond of that one saying by William F Buckley that “A conservative is someone who stands athwart the tracks of history, yelling Stop.” No doubt many conservatives find a certain nobility in these futile gestures, especially as America’s political reality grows much darker.

However, that train you now see coming down the tracks isn’t the crisis of modernity; nor is it some specific bad actor like Nick Fuentes, or even some popular mass delusion. The train is just a reality. It is the inevitable consequence of the politics promoted over the last three decades by those weak men too cowed to face hard truths head-on.

And no one can stop this train from coming, because all the opportunities to slow it down have been sabotaged, more often than not, by the very conservatives who were busy lamenting the sorry state of their predicament.

But lament your predicament or not, the train is still approaching. You are all going to have to make an adjustment to how you approach politics, or the juggernaut will run you down where you stand, not because you stood on some principle, but because you didn’t acknowledge the machine hurling towards you, just in front of your nose.

But perhaps this is history’s well-known sense of irony. Because, in the wake of this tragedy, everyone will naturally look back at your careers and wonder.

How?

How, after everything, after all of the articles, after all of the books, after all of the histrionic predictions of collapse and societal decline repeated over and over again, how could you still be so unprepared to face the world that you saw coming decades ago?

It is an eternal mystery. It is the story of how conservatism died.

Like everything that inevitably falls apart on its own, conservatism is dying under the weight of its own inconsistencies and incoherencies. Proclaiming “America First” while putting Israel first, waxing eloquent about the Constitution while never doing anything to defend the American Posterity, posturing about nonexistent principles, celebrating a capitalism that is built on a foundation of usury and fraud, and appealing to false histories and fake historical narratives, there is no reason to ever take conservatives and their gatekeeping seriously anymore.

They defend self-proclaimed democracy that violates the will of the people, enact injustice in the name of justice, proclaim an equality that has never existed anywhere, and in the process, conserve nothing. They are worse than worthless even by their own chosen measure.

And the train doesn’t care.

A Bad and Arrogant Design

So much software, and so much hardware, is increasingly fragile and failure-prone thanks to the fundamental foolishness of the low-status men who design products without ever thinking once about those who will actually use them and the evil corpocrats who think only of how to monopolize and control their customers:

My wife’s Volvo -has no oil dipstick-. You have to start the engine (requiring power), navigate through the touchscreen computer (a complex expensive part set prone to failure), then trust a sensor reading the oil level for you not to be faulty. It doesn’t tell you how many quarts are present, only ‘min/max’ with no numbers & min isn’t zero. And the display doesn’t even update after adding oil, until you drive it for 20 minutes then park with engine off for five minutes on level ground.

I am ready to CHIMP. Of course this is just one instance of a larger pattern to turn motor vehicles into ‘black box’ appliances.

Oil dipsticks are basic & cheap. They allow your eyes to get instant, trustworthy feedback. They have been standard in vehicles, I suppose, since the Model T. -And you took it away-, out of what I presume is spite, or an attempt to hamstring owners, nudging them to dealers for the most minor tasks.

@VolvoCarUSA What in the name of Christ in heaven possessed the brains of your engineers to inflict this ‘design’ on us? I should always be able to discern, instantly & infallibly, the level of a mission-critical fluid without intermediaries or ungraceful, inscrutable failure points.

This sort of bad and evil design needs to be rejected by those who understand that the primary purpose of a thing is to be used effectively and efficiently and everything else is, at best, secondary.

Kiev Surrender in 2026

Larry Johnson observes that the fat lady appears to be singing in Ukraine:

The fat lady is singing from a balcony overlooking a city that is ablaze. Zaporhyzhia, Dneipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kherson, Kharkiv, Sumy… The Russian ground forces are attacking in all of these locations, which represents about 1,000 miles of territory stretching from Sumy in the north to Zaporhyzhia in the south. Russia is inflicting an average of 1,335 casualties a day on the Ukrainian forces, which translates into 456,695 losses in 2025 as of November 17. That is almost 40,000 per month. Add to that an estimated 20,000 to 40,000 desertions each month… That means Ukraine must recruit a minimum of 60,000 new conscripts each month just to maintain its current troop strength. That ain’t happening.

The recruitment figures cited by the Atlantic Council and the Institute for the Study of War, which represent partisan pro-Ukrainian sites, reinforce the dire state of the Ukrainian forces. When your very best friends are telling you that you are 50% short, you know things are grim.

Meanwhile, back in Kiev, Zelensky ain’t home. He’s scampering about Europe pleading for more money, but the Europeans are focused intently on the brewing corruption scandals haunting the Z-man. There is not a lot of enthusiasm for sending billions of dollars more to Ukraine as key officials in Zelensky’s government seek sanctuary in Israel.

And not just Israel either. There are reports that at least one high-ranking official has already applied for asylum in the USA.

The sooner this war ends, the better. The senseless slaughter of Ukrainian men is as pointless as the bellicose rantings of the EU politicians trying to preserve their collapsing “liberal democracies” that are by threatening to force their peoples to go to war with Russia against their collective wills.

I think the primary sticking point will be Odessa. Russia wants it, but doesn’t currently hold it. So it’s Kiev’s one significant bargaining chip, but I don’t think the war will end until Kiev’s masters are willing to cash it in for some concessions on Russia’s part.
