four points make a tetrahedron, the first solid. Earth, air, fire, water; north, south, east, west; the four seasons. Everything stable comes in fours, 4 walls in a house - structure, discipline, patience, and work — the square, the foundation stone, the table with four legs. The four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Like and John. To the Chinese it is death; their buildings skip the fourth floor. A perfect secret key right?

go into coding they said, buy stocks they said
SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios.

The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios.

Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said.

Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

Read my latest for Axios here: axios.com/2026/10/22/ai-…

Get ready for World War P-Zombie! Next week I will be debating @hamandcheese on AI consciousness, moderated by @sckimbriel. We will fight about functionalism, quarrel over qualia, and serve problematically hard liquors to ensure that everyone has a phenomenal time.

Access is nk to register in the next tweet.

Just before Halloween, we're teaming up with @AspenInstitute to host a debate on the haunted question of AI consciousness.

On the evening of 10/29 in DC, come see @hamandcheese and @aaronsibarium duke it out over whether there's really a ghost in the machine.

AI ppl loooove to pretend they hold tons secret knowledge. Everyone has Seen Things, and have been trusted with the Esoteric Knowledge. It's also cringe if you don't partake because it implies you're not in the Inner Circle. In reality most people are kinda confused, working it all out ad hoc, relying on the same rumours, and so on - but the status games are hard to resist!

I'm giving a talk next Thursday.

For anyone who came to the discussion a while back on tacit knowledge, in some ways this is a continuation of that conversation. An update on what I've been researching and thinking about in the interim.

I would love to see you there.
Join us next Thursday for a new experimental series of Toronto Society Talks.

An original thesis, rigorous questions, food, drinks and a party.

The first talk is from @_benjaminparry

Why Everyone Should Study Theology

@levie I think this is the right move. Cruelty to something that believes it is experiencing pain is not ok.

@sckimbriel @AndyMasley Fair, dare we say true - but science is still fundamentally descriptive and we need to account for the subject. Even physics can be understood as Wittgenstenian language game
