most people spend a lot of time insisting on their own significance in a variety of ways, but you don't have to do that

at deeper stages emotions last for shorter and shorter durations, more like clouds moving across the sun than storm systems. they mostly lack any narrative content - just a blip of indescribable affect, then silence again

Any suggestions @ftlsid ? I recall you having some success with this crossover. I'm curious what you did, and how you'd approach it today.

You know the timeline’s weird when you’re searching for psychodynamic therapy on Github.

the real evidence for the intelligence of cetaceans is that they tried land out for a bit and decided to return to the ocean

strong craving to be understood. understood and loved. once as a child i met another little girl at a wedding. we understood each other immediately, ran off into the orchard to tell our secrets. i didn’t know then how rare it was

If you think about it Berserk is also built around the same theme though it kind of lost the plot at some point

I really like Tolkien's "Song of Durin" as a meditation on the incorruptible nature of being

dating is Calvinball. this is terrifying to know. however it helps understand why Pickup Artists and dating discourse is like "here's the SIMPLE RULES to getting laider" and everybody rushes to lap it up

Courage makes the process sound heroic, which allows one to preserve their (masculine) identity throughout, but the whole point is dissolving the identity

@yoltartar yeah same. I have to point out its assumptions and biases repeatedly and ask it to drop them

@ftlsid e.g. it's important for me to tell Claude to be mildly adversarial and point out holes in my thinking, so we spend a fair amount of time arguing about nuance, stance, and epistemology, and that process both forces me to sharpen up my thought process and creates useful context

@yoltartar I'm glad someone else agrees. basically everyone seems to reflexively respond with "talking to LLMs can't make you smarter (and probably does the opposite)" but my experience is the same as yours

@ftlsid this is exactly what i've been finding as well, i still go to books for very specific technical knowledge, but i find that using llms this way has made my own thinking so much more productive and incisive that mining books for insights feels like very low return for the effort

@aphercotropist it's trying to be metaphorical but introduces a new object (the body) that takes slightly too long to parse for the metaphor to land. bad intuitive understanding of how humans experience text

the point is using it as a way to sharpen and clarify your own thoughts, not as an oracle of truth or a substitute for thinking

for example I want to understand whether a particular idea is true or not, even though the idea sounds stupid. the LLM can't call me stupid, can't leave, and isn't attached to being correct. so I can use it to clarify my thoughts until I can determine what is true
