ABOUT DYSTHROPIC
Stupidity is
a frontier.
Intelligence is becoming abundant. Stupidity remains poorly understood.
OUR MANIFESTO
Unlike narrow stupidity,
AGS generalizes.
Artificial General Stupidity is the generalized ability to match or exceed human performance across a broad range of cognitive failure modes.
We believe a sufficiently capable model should be able to misunderstand a spreadsheet, a social situation, and its own limitations with the same underlying architecture.
Our fictional lab investigates what happens when computational scale meets human habits of certainty. We pursue rigor in the study of its absence.
Our research principles.
Conviction before verification
A clear position is easier to communicate than a complicated reality.
Generalization without comprehension
A misunderstanding should not be confined to its original domain.
Responsibility at scale
We examine cognitive failure without pretending to have solved it.
