future is supposed to be a thing built by all of us; myriads of different aims, visions, sensibilities interacting with each other,on the go creating stuff nobody could even think of at the beginning it's supposed to be so much more interesting than anything a single sci-fi writer can come up with

even taking it on face value (vs. tech improving, methodological limitations) you have to also consider that "on average makes devs worse" does not mean "makes you worse", it doesn't mean you can't use it better. It's interesting datapoint but treating is as a gospel is motivated reasoning.

there is something along the lines of "you should require less, not *more* moral purity from people in already disadvantaged situations" that someone else capable of doing the social analysis i have on intuitive level but struggling to do justice with putting into words should say

seeing like an instagram politics egregore

"AI Slop serves a social function... collectively, people want more content than humans can supply." I think the opposite is true, there's too much content and it dilutes its social function

This is exactly what I have been thinking about lately.

using llms to write my opinions (for opsec reasons)

I'm a quantum object (I'm too shy to change state when observed)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuDs... "You all know something that I don't You all learned something that I fear I'll never know You all grew body parts I fear I'll never grow"

this might look like how someone attracted to you might act but as a good rationalist I have to consult the priors so sry

who cares about ice using palantir grok 5 if it's a glorified autocomplete that cant do anything and agents cant exist

to me the way the symbolism of this resonates feels like a symptom of a culture that can't imagine future and big things that aren't bad, that feels alienated from how the world it exists in works, so it's left with escapism into images that feel familiar and therefore non-threatening

thinking of that "is ai net positive on society/is ai useful" compass thing, i think it's also important to ask "in which direction you have more power to change the outcome" and "which direction of action is more net positive for society"

Given that humanity has a lot more history (and, um, present kind of) of doing the error of considering and treating conscious entities as things than the opposite, I think it's kind of nice when someone overcorrects on the other direction.

After all this waiting (to see yourself) I'm not some embarrassing painting Anyway I would do anything for you If it meant I'd get a small hint of warmth Even when it truly felt like rooms got smaller I would fight to stick around just in case you'd come in

Like, at some point abolish ice is necessary position even for reasonable centre-rightists or conservatives who still believe in strong immigration enforcement because you have to start asking how much the agency is still about immigration atp and how much it's becoming paramilitary of the maga wing

So far I really like the twist on dementors, patronus and Azkaban in third hpmor, speaks from my heart etc

This is like an extreme example of why I consider myself more libertarian than progressive on social issues. because "leave me alone to do my own thing you freaks" is much more clearly defined and therefore less hijackable concept than progress or social justice

you can just do things* *send THE YEARNING into overdrive by snorting a line of prog metabolites

- reading the hpmor plot about downfall of Slytherin due to dumb racists driving out the "real" Slytherins in our year of lord 2026

what will you do now will happen again and again, in eternal return, the stakes are infinite, so will be your regret go talk with the girl nothing matters, even meaning itself is a fake concept anyway, go talk with the girl, it's not like you have anything to lose

bat: swung inner critic: activated

still can't figure out how to get into the ash twin project ugh

It has been a long time since I have been asked to prove my age to buy something irl lol

save me oceanic-peace-of-mind mental state from mid dose range 5-meo-dmt experiences

I get the reasoning. In totality it is impossible for devs to know if AI was involved in *any* part of the process (did someone read a Gemini result while googling 'level design flow'?), but I think you should credit the neural language minds who helped make your game even if they just 'wrote code'

i have always wanted to be in a cargo cult

Where is Special Circumstances when we need it? Are you done arguing yet?

Fellas, is it morally justifiable to log off?

I found I actually kind of like the idea that there are a bunch of non-slavic American trans women naming themselves Lucie and basing their personality on David Ondříček movies and Mňága a Žďorp. It would be a bit bewildering but not like offensive.

need for things to go slow at a point of history where it feels like garbage time is finally running out this time this as much a statement about aging as much as about state of the world i guess

oh god it actually feels more awkward then I imagined to send message like this kill me or smth

how to bring a blush to the snow

this upsets you because it's run by nazi eugenicists it upsets me because the nazi eugenicists are worthless and you could actually do okc with a better matchmaker now if these FUCKING PEOPLE weren't taking up all the oxygen in the room we are not the same

vibecoding a lil messaging app based on the nomai writing (i want to write smth not exactly easy to someone so i thought i need smth special lol) and it seems like opus spoiled a bit of the ending in a thread example agh

i have a really cool idea for some legislation to prevent suicide: make peoples lives not so shitty

I'm sry but I absolutely would trade one stupid decision for another five years of life

Software developers (myself included!) were collectively fools for not unionizing when we were at peak bargaining power.

i won't dwell on the bitterness happy new year to you all
