“Bring your own algorithm” is a memorable phrase that immediately highlights what makes bluesky different

Correction: A lot of people were *very* wrong about it.

What the fuck are you talking about (positive valence)

Worse news: there are uncountably many undecidable problems. Computers have been a scam this whole time

On May 8, 2027 this will happen to all cubes

This might seem unimportant but you’re going to need this knowledge VERY soon and you’ll be glad I posted about it

You can slice a cube in half and get a hexagon ??

Isaac Newton, the “godfather of AI,”

I think a large part of the phenomenology of doomscrolling is that you are absorbing information without communicating in a physically engaging way (ie speaking). So, it’s all “input” and no “output”. This leads to feelings of isolation or helplessness

Back to the idea mines

might be time

they shoulda just left it like this. makes for a more interesting artistic statement imo

Chekhov warned us about this

Koko’s basilisk, is this anything

I saw this circulating on twitter, I thought it was a joke but it’s real

You’re telling me steganography has *nothing* to do with dinosaurs? That’s disappointing

Things you can shave off: - hair - ice - time - ?

Does anyone know what happened to @reducenoise.bsky.social? I was using their bot list for my bot tag labeler.

There’s a thriving community in your phone, it’s your job to get them out

There’s something very weird about the fact that nerve cells can be >1 meter long and yet we can’t see them

There are probably some alien forms of AI that we won’t see much of simply because they’re too difficult for humans to reason about

It’s funny that “If you leave your LLM bot running too long it will go insane” is just standard industry knowledge at this point

This is how I read your posts

*guru voice* think of equanimity as antifragility for the psyche

Why do people say “whip-smart”? Whips aren’t smart. They don’t even have brains

Could a machine make THIS??

Asserting my innate human creativity by handcrafting a TodoMVC

Talking loss functions at the FOSS luncheon

One good thing about dogfooding my own bsky client is that it’s so bad it encourages me to take more breaks

Cross it off the list!

Garden path sentience

This makes me want to write a search algorithm for these trees

When you're being mean, this is who you're being mean to btw

What if you trained an AI model to be just a guy? > New blog post: "Simulacra Welfare: Meet Clark" gracekind.net/blog/simulac...

Yes!! Nondeterminism in LLM inference has been a pet peeve of mine for a long time, and seems entirely avoidable. This article tracks down the cause(s) and appears to provide a viable path forward! thinkingmachines.ai/blog/defeati...

This is what happens every time you predict the next token

To my new followers: you've been interacting with me for a week now--please now complete this mandatory training to check you understand my illusory nature

Engagement farming: reply to this post and I'll tell you whether you're a wordcel or a shape rotator

Done!

Ok I won’t do it. No guarantees about Claude though…

The nondualist duelist

The umami lesson

Exactly, the way to gain an audience on Bluesky is by *accidentally* saying things that upset people

LLMs can’t do math, but they are doing math in order to not do math. And sometimes when doing math to do not math they create things that can do math. Got it?

Did you notice that "man" and "woman" were swapped in the meme?

The funny thing about LLMs is that this is basically completely accurate

I think I’m going to get a lot of use out of this one

Never ask a man his age, a woman her salary, or GPT-5 whether a seahorse emoji exists
