Algorithmic Sabotage Research Group - Our Collaborative Tools
The Algorithmic Sabotage Research Group exists because trust in algorithms is structurally naive. Most ML systems assume a benign environment. The ASRG proves that environment is, at best, indifferent, and at worst, adversarial.
Unlike traditional hacking, which might aim for data theft or system crashes, algorithmic sabotage algorithmic sabotage research group asrg
: Highlighting the hidden costs of algorithms, including carbon emissions and centralized control mechanisms. Distinguishing ASRG
ASRG’s research explores practical methods for disrupting the "operational workflows" of artificial intelligence and digital surveillance. These strategies often focus on destabilizing the data and compute power that modern AI relies on:
: Diminish the coherence and interpretability of text scraped by Large Language Model (LLM) tools, causing them to lose resources and potentially experience increased hallucinations. Semantic Perturbations : Publications designed using alternative layout systems to
The philosophical foundations of the group rest on several core principles:
The manifesto is structured around ten propositions, numbered from 0 to 9. Key themes woven throughout these propositions include:
: They argue that the first step of effective techno-politics is not technical, but political, grounded in radical feminist, anti-fascist, and decolonial perspectives. Strategies of Sabotage The ASRG proves that environment is, at best,
Till next time, stay subversive!
As the term "algorithmic sabotage" moves into the mainstream lexicon, a clear distinction must be made between the activist stance of the and safety divisions within tech organizations:
As one anonymous ASRG member put it: "You cannot defend a castle if you refuse to imagine the siege. We are not the enemy. We are the architect who shows you where the walls are weakest—by drawing the map for the invader. Now build better walls."
