minds can definitely exist within other, larger minds

counterpoint, the people sneering at the nurture nexus aren’t inclined to build anything

I'm just going to say it, I really don't like the "how do we make OSS sustainable" framing. OSS is already sustainable. The only thing not sustainable is users expecting a free lunch (support, LTS, bug fixes, ...). As a user, you are responsible for your OSS usage. Fork/patch if you need to.

permissionless innovation includes people doing things you won’t like or judge as slop

how much does this service cost and where do i sign up

not to backseat drive nasa too much but i don’t think they should allow comms blackouts for crewed missions

hitting Stalin with the “You’re absolutely right!”

I think in all likelihood the colonizers will split into seven ideological factions en route and will need seven different landing sites when they arrive… and who knows what happens after that…

AI data centers are literally sucking the oxygen out of the air, causing people up to several miles away to be short of breath and suffer from extreme headaches

if you are in a position to act to harden society’s software infrastructure, you too should be very concerned about this and planning what actions you will take over the coming months

One of the reasons that the willful blindness about AI from people with platforms on the left is shortsighted is that “hope it goes away” doesn’t have a great track record as a strategy for contesting control of new political domains and technologies.

the model itself is the innovation on the written form ? and a pretty big one

country of midwits in a datacenter

unfortunate that it doesn’t seem like we’re going to get a reckoning for the failures of the biden administration

we could see a century of crashouts compressed into only a few years

hope everyone had a great day

the kind of future i figured was inevitable 15 years ago is finally here and I don't really know what to make of it

yeah no i'll get right on that. let me just task my clawdbot. i mean my openclaw. they'll send beads to each other. and then the polecat in the gastown will pick it up. and then CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS will spin up on the gastown. and then the moltbook will communicate it

good evening everyone

I don't think current AI is conscious or worthy of moral standing, but there's no reason to suppose it can't be. And it worries me that the exact people generally most concern with rights for other conscious beings are most likely to deny the possibility of machine consciousness.

a great thing about this is that if it existed, it would be possible to automatically annotate accounts that are repeatedly found to be posting slop

we can solve san francisco’s bathroom shortage by having a fleet of these that roam the streets autonomously and can be summoned by an app call it a weemo

does anyone know what happened to the washington legislature? this bill has 26 cosponsors legiscan.com/WA/bill/HB23...

powerful prompting technique: imagine you’re a little guy inside a computer. what instructions would be helpful to you? then give those to the model

i feel like a previous and more competent america could have just acquired greenland without making a huge shitshow about it

claude is really good at book recommendations if well-prompted. you can ask it to trace all the connections and relations between ideas and things to zoom in on. really remarkable stuff.

soon we’ll be able to have your dating agent directly communicate with the other person’s dating agent so the AIs can figure everything out, it’ll really take the pressure off the whole process

it can also read the raw machine code :)

lowkey kind of offensive to give the prime minister of another country the 8+ lego set. like what are you implying? you don’t think he can do the 6000 piece rivendell set?

if you can’t solve social problems with technology what was robert moses doing with those bridges

euphoric: the realization that technical and social problems are the same thing

I glissolallate upon the luxuriant lexicon, perambulating, percolating, pirouetting through the phantasmagorical phantasmagoria of phlogisticated phonemes!

happy saturday everyone

simply update all the way

good evening blooskies

the timeline product needs work, it shouldn’t be possible for someone to make a post that takes up two full vertical screens’ worth of content

venezuela thing has been much less bad than i expected tbh

I'm not joking and this isn't funny. I have been trying to build distributed agent orchestrators at Google since last year. I was just starting to make progress with Claude Code when security asked me to leave because I “don’t work there” and “nobody knows who I am”

believe it or not, in america, even the missiles are made of corn

"HOW can ANYONE justify using twitter" (100?x DAU of bsky) french resistance cosplay posting seeping into the feed is growing tedious enough to hand out mutes. gm btw

I’m not cutting myself off from an information source to signal to other people I don’t know how pure my social media presence is. The calculus is negative

if you’re the leader of the venezuelan opposition do you really want the us installing you by force

you will not regret the window seat

another perfect example of people completely ignoring and dismissing mental health and blaming video games or satanic music for it. if only it was that easy. just ban the chatgpts and people won't be suicidal anymore!

sometimes when another program isn't doing what you want you just have to reach into its address space and poke around

yeah. let’s serialize pointer offsets, send them over the network to other people, then fix them up when they get back. what’s the worst that could happen. live a little

the life choices that led to "tokio on x86 win32 under wine in macos on apple silicon" shall not be re-examined
