Plug talk

Hey hey new heat by me and @variendarkgirl.bsky.social for @concept.country open.substack.com/pub/conceptc...

Ppl are finally seeing this in full resolution

Can anyone identify this cryptid?

Concept in control.

FWIW I will fight to the death to defend my right to say the Claude funeral was stupid and out of touch

Hell yea

Cathedrals are sick. S/o to Catholics, yall should stick to the cool building thing

Support my friends in doing Woke Alex Jones 🗣️ Patreon.com/thehomiecollective They have a very good podcast, and I am a podcast hater

If we were able to take a screenshot of our field of vision I wonder what distortions we would notice that the brain ignores

I am habitually suspicious of ppl who fixate on a “high trust society”

Just conceived of a guy who is only into vampire weekend because they had a song in step brothers and then I realized that’s all vampire weekend fans

Lies. I just shifted my timeline into one where I am drinking guarana on a beach in Brazil. Do not believe the empiricist deceivers

Turns out objects with ontology but no sentience are prone to unpredictable and arbitrary behavior based on who is interacting with them

I think I’m pretty much completely done with social media tbh. Nobody here has any genuine curiosity about the world anymore and only wants to be a hot take artist. I fall prey to this too. It’s a drag and exhausting no matter where you go online

two interesting things to note already from researching the history of ICE: - DHS is only 22 years old. - it was formed as a *centralization of 22 other government agencies into a singular agency reporting to the executive branch* and a large part of the population was chill with it, because 9/11

Reflecting on this further: I think it can accurately be said that the success of HuffPost was the harbinger of the end of real journalism

Another one of my takes that is aging extremely well

METR: how long a task an AI can successfully do without supervision doubles roughly every 7 months across several task domains xcancel.com/METR_Evals/s...

New heat

One of my most evergreen takes ngl. Has lasted even longer than I thought

this! the trick to using LLMs is to use them for things that are slow for you to do yourself but fast for you to verify; this set varies somewhat from person to person and you should be aware of your own strengths and weaknesses and how they interact with the strengths and weaknesses of the LLM.

We have these things already. They are called a washer and dishwasher respectively. Wonderful machines

Despite my love for AI, I’m still a huge believer in and user of Google et al, but imo LLMs are *much* better than traditional search at answering ambiguous questions. At a bare minimum you can get a direction to go googling in

Not joking in Utah it’s considered polite to have a superiority complex about our national parks

Bicoastal Bicurious Call me Mr both ways 🗣️

Going to Brazil next week, gonna Que Legao my way through so many conversations

This is likely based on the probably correct assumption that LLMs can solve the moderation problem. Plus if you have invented the Do Anything algorithm you should probably try to use to it to Do Everything

At least it’s a good year for music. This clipse album is a banger, new purity ring in September

Hey look www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Been very predictable that this is where republicans would land on AI

I have to do work today so I can only post one thing and it’s this: Tomorrow Clipse releases an album and it has a stove god feature

Things are going extraordinarily well in my personal/work life so the whole state of things is rather dissonance inducing

Call me too woke but I think YouTuber and influencer culture has created a particularly pernicious form of subjectification. Diversity is treated like set dressing. Basically: “wtf why should my tax money go to immigrants I made a video about 10 gofundmes people can support”

Critical Isthmus dawgs wya

the fictional republic of @ontologic.design

We’re getting closer and closer to someone managing to open themselves up to some bizarre XSS vulnerabilities with Generated ui

Life is a process of becoming over and over again. This is what Nietzsche was driving at with eternal recurrence

Revisiting this in light of the NYT Mamdani story. Turns out GPT really does have better journalistic ethics than @nytimes.com lol chatgpt.com/share/e/6869...

You're making a Mockery of Concept while Concept makes Mochrie Concept. You and We are not the same.

Very pleased to learn that the guy who makes brainrot content for racists is every last bit as pathetic as I always expected.

Nuremberg 2.0 will need to happen

This isn’t true btw. Angst is actually the only emotion LLMs have

TikTok keeps torturing me with this guys videos

not just that, it’s clearly designed to get people to believe they’re not losing the plot, but gaining immunity from losing the plot. the entire air of culture on the site is “I have hidden knowledge”, like an engine for conspiracy theory

Concept is not a "Network State". It's an assault against the idea that they should exist.

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

Wish things had gone differently today but that’s the price of showbiz z2 this fall dm if you wanna submit
