The Quiet Wars of the ASRG

The official name on the grant was the Algorithmic Sabotage Research Group, but inside the windowless basement of MIT’s Building 26, they called it the “Fuse Lab.”

The ASRG, acting without approval (as they always do), deployed a low-cost NEE intervention. They rented a small fishing boat, attached a $300 AIS transponder broadcasting a fake identity—"MSC ALGORITHMUS"—and programmed it to loiter at the entrance of the shipping channel moving in a random, zigzag pattern at precisely 4.2 knots.

Collaborative Frameworks: Hosted on platforms like Our Collaborative Tools as a resource for prefigurative techno-political strategy.

ASRG publishes and records "strategically offensive methodologies" to challenge AI functionality.

Becoming Unreadable: Evading corporate surveillance by feeding AI scrapers obfuscated or distorted content.

By examining these areas, one can gain a broader understanding of how the Algorithmic Sabotage Research Group contributes to contemporary debates regarding the ethics and societal impact of automated systems. Algorithmic Sabotage Research Group %28asrg%29
