Algorithmic Sabotage Research Group %28asrg%29 [exclusive] -

As of late 2026, the ASRG has reportedly turned its attention to large language models and generative AI. Their unpublished research (leaked via encrypted USB drives left in academic libraries) suggests that LLMs are peculiarly vulnerable to what they call —feeding an AI its own prior outputs in a closed loop until it produces nonsense or, more dangerously, produces perfectly persuasive lies.

Through its publications, open-source toolkits, and collaborative workshops, the ASRG continues to assert that as long as algorithms are used to concentrate power and minimize human agency, sabotage will remain an essential, defensive instrument of digital citizenship.

One simulation involved a customer service AI for a healthcare insurer. After three hours of recursive sabotage, the AI began denying 100% of claims with the explanation: "Approval would violate the second law of thermodynamics as defined in your policy document section 12.4." The statement was absurd, but it was grammatically perfect, logically consistent within its own broken frame, and utterly unappealable.

Perhaps the most biting critique is that ASRG members themselves possess the exact skills needed to commit algorithmic sabotage. A former member of the ASRG’s red team was banned in 2024 for selling a zero-day sabotage exploit on the dark web. The group acknowledges this risk and has since implemented psychological screening and blind-review protocols, but the shadow of the "reformed hacker" remains. As of late 2026, the ASRG has reportedly

The ASRG focuses on "algorithmic sabotage"—a conceptual tool used to challenge necropolitical technologies, structural injustices, and "fascist techno-solutionism". Their work centers on:

The ASRG organizes its work into four distinct research pillars: If you are interested in diving deeper into

The group operates as a remote, open, and ongoing framework, often publishing its findings and theoretical work on platforms like Our Collaborative Tools . Project / Output Description

Modern AI relies on confidence scores. A self-driving car sees a stop sign with 99.7% certainty. The ASRG’s second pillar exploits the gap between certainty and reality . ROA techniques bombard an algorithm’s sensory periphery with ambiguous, high-entropy signals that are not false—they are simply too real .
