@silk_cellophane No utility No telos I don’t think a human has what it takes to push another human to their full limits is all…

@HDPbilly I’d be curious what you think are « more powerful lessons » to be learned about what a human can do ? I’m generally averse to teleos, and find utility (goals) to be a parody of circulation and necessity, which is why it’s so funny and easy to « perform utility »

Impulse to block all the men and return to trying celibacy, minimal language, painting, going to messe and self-mortifying instead of fucking. The main pbm is I really like dealing in sex, transformation, and power, and I like ugly discomfort, being split between worlds

@DabsMalone Everything works

Do you think this could work?🧐

@aleks_sharik @Vulpescap Good CEO is an influencer

@Vulpescap She seems to want to be more of an influencer than an entrepreneur:/

Somebody tell her what an IND is

@aleks_sharik @parmita @Vulpescap She’s posting on x the everything app

@parmita @Vulpescap 🤷 25% of my feed are your posts lol

@parmita I think i forgot to post two weeks ago that we’re doing the thing where all the enemies come out and start bashing you as a type of final test

fun fact: i did not wake up a loser. i am doing my job incredibly well. i am posting papers, i am speaking at conferences, managing a lab, managing a team, journalists are vetting and covering our work, and more than 90% of my posts are about precigenetics or biology.

@vegetalpuppet I’m looking at the shape of a car now and seeing the grief

@HDPbilly did i stutter

every innocuous seeming fundamentally qualityless aspect of reality and including any inanimate object even that i see or perceive communicates via their ambient channels a permanent state of or access to infinite reservoir of pure grief without beginning cause end or resolution

@Somethingabthat Oh… uhhhh you mentioned tv.

serious question but what did kids do all day before tvs and phones were invented

@Somethingabthat Same stuff but replace phone with tv

@catholicpat @AuronMacintyre Make sure it’s 285 cubits tall

What if we built one big data center in the middle of the country, instead of all the small ones? Maybe so big it reaches all the way to heaven?

@r0ck3t23 @adamscrabble Neuromancer has a good collection of future jobs… what with stepping razor’s lore and all

Jeff Bezos asked a room to imagine going back a hundred years. When almost everyone was a farmer. And telling those farmers that in 2018 there’d be a job called “massage therapist.” Bezos: “They would not have believed you.” Then a friend took it further. Bezos: “Forget massage therapist, there are dog psychiatrists.” He looked it up. Bezos: “Sure enough, you can easily hire a psychiatrist for your dog.” The room laughed. The point under the laughter wasn’t funny at all. Every time a major technology shift hits, we do the exact same thing. We count the jobs it will destroy. We never count the ones it will create. Because we can’t. They don’t have names yet. The fear is always specific. AI will replace accountants. AI will replace radiologists. AI will replace drivers. The fear has job titles and timelines and projections. The opportunity has none of those things. Because you can’t name what doesn’t exist yet. A farmer in 1920 could understand losing his job to a tractor. He could not understand gaining a career as a social media strategist. Not because he lacked intelligence. Because the entire chain of inventions between his world and that job hadn’t been built yet. Radio. Television. The internet. Smartphones. Social platforms. Creator economies. Every single link in that chain had to exist before “social media strategist” could even be a sentence. That’s where we are with AI right now. Everyone is staring at the tractor. Nobody can see the thing seven inventions away that doesn’t have a name yet. The fear is loud because it fits inside language we already have. The opportunity is silent because it doesn’t. Every technological revolution in history created more jobs than it destroyed. Every single one. Not because anyone planned it. Because human needs expand faster than machines can fill them. We didn’t need massage therapists when we were breaking our backs on farms. We needed them after machines freed our backs and stress replaced labor. The demand didn’t disappear. It migrated somewhere no one was looking. That is exactly what’s happening right now. The jobs AI creates won’t make sense to us yet. They’ll sound as absurd as “dog psychiatrist” would’ve sounded to a farmer in 1920. Until someone is running a $200 hourly practice with a six-month waitlist. The entire conversation right now is about what we’re about to lose. Nobody is talking about what we’re about to gain. Because the gains don’t have vocabulary yet. A hundred years from now, someone will stand on a stage and describe the jobs we couldn’t imagine today. And the audience will laugh. The same way we just did.

@HVNYrefugee @ManThatCrazy As the lore has prophesied

Alternatively, this may be the last stand region of the US.

@foomagemindset Non state actors

“The two AI super-powers are going to start talking. We’re going to set up a protocol, in terms of, how do we move forward with best practices for AI, to make sure non-state actors don’t get ahold of these models.”

@generic_void Your awareness

@HDPbilly Me or the phone! Lmao

I don’t know which this is the way it is but I can’t sleep facing my phone. Even if it’s on do not disturb and out of sight. I can sense it there and must turn my back to it to sleep comfortably. Any clues?

@0xdasha I agree in this thesis There will be different styles and colts and accessories though

i’ve been saying there will be no fashion soon: much like compute, we can’t afford to waste brain power on collab drops, or anything other than claude fwiw at one point we will settle at a single piece of functional ai-powered clothing, i’m thinking it’s a single size vault suit why single size? because with ai-powered genetic engineering, synthetic wombs and mass european human production, as well as peptides and rationing, there will be no opportunity to be fat

@isjuustadream The times I’ve had full blown hallucination while awake it appeared exactly like a dream… emerging from the luminous cloud

You see your dreams at night not with your two eyes but with your minds eye, what makes you think waking life isn't the same thing?

@experiencetil @pleometric Isn’t that late zoomer speak?

@HDPbilly @pleometric Most recent slang of this decade has been ways of socially belittling people Son... / I'm cryin / 😭/ 💀 "look at what this guy said" chat is this real - "this is stupid" chopped / chuzz - "you're ugly" mogged - "I'm better than you" There's more but it's very pervasive

a very telling characteristic of millennial writing is that constant self awareness, a coy wink to a perceived audience "so I did a thing..." or maybe a naughty "they're really not gonna like this one". Defensive self-awareness vs a gen-z assume perfomace "chat, ..." etc

@Akitti You can read papers 12 hours a day for ten years and only scratch the surface 🍖

@HDPbilly Nooo 😭

The universe is just one giant troll simulation forcing me to learn an arbitrarily infinite amount of math to defeat the borg

@experiencetil @pleometric Sorry I’m delirious no sleep trouble understanding

@HDPbilly @pleometric I was giving an example
