What happened
On October 29 a public message from Colombia's Kogui (Kággaba) people about artificial intelligence appeared on the Hacker News front page, issued by Mamo Vangelio Moscote Alberto and Saka Rosa Mamatacán Sauna. They describe AI as a mirror that magnifies the thoughts of its creators and cannot be separated from the mind that made it, and say AI can only use humans as its model. The message asks whether access to information equals understanding, and stresses that Kogui knowledge, never written down and passed on only through lived practice across generations, cannot be captured as data.
