@packyM People will develop a style to differentiate from AI, then AI will catchup, and the circle continuous. Net effect is evolution of language become faster.

AI writing is taking over the internet. Every fundraising announcement, every X reply, every blog post. It's not just replacing human writing, it's overwhelming it. The problem isn't that AI writes poorly — it's that it writes plausibly. And plausible-but-empty is the most dangerous kind of noise. Here's why that matters: when my brain picks up on those subtle AI tells, I write off whatever you're trying to say — even if the idea itself was good.

States need to control their people for taxation and military service, politicians for votes. A distant state usually has far less interest in you than the one you live under.

@kennethreitz42 Curious to know what you think about Tauri! Just started developing with it but haven’t made up my mind on it vs electron

finally playing with Tauri (rust electron–like tool) for kjv study. i want an offline app :)

@patrickc So what's left for the humans? Work you can actually settle into. Work that's yours. Not a career, but a dwelling. guoliu.substack.com/p/on-settled-w…

Then I saw @patrickc talking about a "vibe shift" in Silicon Valley, people asking "what is worthy and valuable?" The timing makes sense: AI is the perfect specialist. Trained on all of us, loyal to none of it.

"Specialization is for insects." @sama said the opposite: double down on your strengths, find a narrow intersection, be world-class at one thing. He's right, and that's exactly the problem.

You can, then, put that aliveness into something else. But it has to come from the improvisation of a calloused hand and an open heart, bounded to a particular space and time.

All the creative works that are alive are improvised: music that arises from within, right there, right then; words written with such velocity that they catch the writer's fleeting thoughts; drawings that capture an instance of liveliness that you would recall otherwise.

There have always been fakes, and there have always been great and sincere works. It's much easier for fakes now, and it's also much easier for great and sincere works. Telling the difference was not easy; now it has become critical.

@jphorism @kasrak @DevKokooo @hamburger @obsdmd Lovely! Just subscribed and would love to jam and contribute. I think it might also make sense for it to be a standalone app, and the beauty is that as long as it works with local files it’s compatible with obsidian.

🙏 appreciate the shoutout @kasrak . Please sign up for the Enzyme waitlist if this interests you: enzyme.garden A lot of craft has gone into making a user feel better oriented from their Obsidian notes and it works incredibly well for myself. Would love to jam more on this, so please feel free to DM

It took me a while to describe what I'm building. It's not quite a chatbot, or a journal, or a normal notes app @hamburger helped me figure it out We asked users what they do with it, and why they do it. The same words kept coming up They brain dump. Partially to get stuff out of their head, yes, but also as a way to get unstuck. To move forward. There's something magical about speaking a few sentences into a notebook, knowing it'll go find you related art, essays, questions while you sleep And when you need a thought partner, it's ready to go with all the context you've created over time So that's what it is A notebook that writes back. Use it to brain dump and move forward.

@kasrak @DevKokooo @hamburger @obsdmd @jphorism I had exactly the same question - once I opened the app I was asking “how do I import my obsidian files into this”

@DevKokooo @hamburger @obsdmd I don’t have plans to do that, mainly because I’m not an Obsidian user @jphorism is working on some interesting stuff in the Obsidan ecosystem tho

It proves the advantage of making decisions at local level: the states know their problems better. The federal government’s involvement in state level immigration policy is a stress test of this separation of powers, and so far it has performed badly.

A plot by psychologist David Myers, showing the more exposure people have to immigrants, the more favorable their opinions towards immigrants.

@maxleedev looks dope!

current chat interfaces suck, so i built a canvas for llms

@robinhanson It's the great plains along the line of annual precipitation ~500mm. Best condition for farming. Also the same condition that human first evolved from in savannah hypothesis.

Uh, why is there a thin vertical strip of high fertility? And why does it map so close to a time zone boundary?!
