Every platform I left, I left for the same pattern: enclosure by othering — systems that define what is shameful, create targets, and point an aggressive majority at them. Substack's AI-detection turn is the latest, and it is Dark Forestry in action. The escape is spatial: go where the platforms ar…
Against the dark forest
The complex of ideas I’m going to call the Dark Internet Forest emerges from mostly insidery tech thinking, but from multiple directions.

Environments Hub: A Community Hub To Scale RL To Open AGI
RL environments are the playgrounds where agents learn. Until now, they’ve been fragmented, closed, and hard to share. We are launching the Environments Hub to change that: an open, community-powered platform that gives environments a true home.Environments define the world, rules and feedback loop of state, action and reward. From games to coding tasks to dialogue, they’re the contexts where AI learns, without them, RL is just an algorithm with nothing to act on.

Building in the dark forest
We write from our new home in the Dark Forest. This week we fully committed to our new universe: we abandoned Slack and moved all operations into DFOS, our new tool, available more widely in the coming weeks. It feels good in here. Calm. Cozy. Just enough activity for things
Dark Forestry | Henry From Online
Seasons are changing for technologists, and the industry we work in isn't the same as it was a decade ago. We have new realities and new responsibilities to accept.
