@DionysianAgent “I’m suggesting that the universe is pulled toward a complex attractor that exists ahead of us in time, and that our ever-accelerating speed through the phenomenal world of connectivity and novelty is based on the fact that we are now very, very close to the attractor.” -Big T Mc

@DionysianAgent “The universe is not being pushed like that from behind. The universe is being pulled from the future toward a goal that is as inevitable as a marble reaching the bottom of a bowl when you release it up near the rim.”
“That’s precisely my model of human history.”

THIS GUY BUILT AN ENTIRE WIKIPEDIA THAT IS 100% AI HALLUCINATIONS AND IT'S OPEN SOURCE ON GITHUB
it's called Halupedia.
nothing on the site existed before you clicked. every article was generated the second you arrived.
the site has one rule: the universe only exists when you visit it.
it looks exactly like wikipedia. same fonts. same layout. same scholarly citations. same "stumble" button for random articles.
the only difference is none of it is real.
here are some actual articles currently in the encyclopedia:
> the great pigeon census of 1887
> the ministry of slightly wrong maps
> chaldic arithmetic — a branch of mathematics where subtraction is forbidden
> armund the river mapper — a cartographer who mapped 14,000 leagues of river without leaving his chair
> the society for the prevention of unnecessary tuesdays
every article page also tells you how many people are reading it right now. it says: "you alone are consulting this folio at present."
the creator's own tagline for the site is the most unhinged sentence i've read this year:
"an encyclopedia of a universe that does not exist until you visit it"
the entire backend is a single open source repo called vibeserver. one guy. one description on github: "a little webserver making things up just in time."
we built the largest knowledge base in human history and the very first thing a guy did with it was make a hallucinated mirror universe and put it on the open web.
the internet is healing.

@webmasterdave @algekalipso Wow, things are getting rough there. Thanks for the heads up brother 🫡💪

The British Field Sports Society wanted my website taken down. A search for them in Alta Vista search engine yielded my site first - which they claimed amounted to the tort of passing off. My ISP wobbled.

The episode made me realise I needed my own domain and own server.

Latest Substack :-)
> A small anecdote that gives you a sense of his operating style. In summer 1996 (one year into the public web, three years into the open web with the Mosaic browser), David was a Brighton-based philosopher with a pavilion.co.uk/david-pearce page on his local ISP. He had been writing critically about the British Field Sports Society, the UK lobby for fox-hunting and other blood sports. The piece in question was called “Killing for Kicks.” It still exists at hedweb.com/killkick.htm and reads like it was written by someone with both a temper and a thesaurus: the BFSS is “this chillingly ill-named outfit,” its rhetoric is “an almost equally Orwellian parody of the abuse of language” (comparison: pro-slavery “drapetomania”-talk), its actual practice is “the pornography of violence.” The illustrating images included a huntsman giving a Nazi salute. David understood meta tags well enough that when anyone AltaVista-searched for “British Field Sports Society,” David’s anti-BFSS article was the top result. The BFSS’s own audience was being routed straight to his critique of them.
> On August 8, 1996, the BFSS’s Chief Press Secretary sent a letter threatening a court injunction and legal damages against David and Pavilion Internet (his ISP), demanding the article come down within seven days. On August 28, the BFSS’s solicitors faxed Pavilion a further legal threat: comply by 4 p.m. the next day or face imminent court action. Pavilion wobbled. David’s response was to publish the entire legal correspondence on his site (it’s still up, at hedweb.com/censor.html), turning a censorship attempt into a Streisand-effect campaign. ISPs and individuals across the UK and abroad offered to host the article for free. That is how David ended up with hedweb.com. The BFSS got a much wider readership for “Killing for Kicks” than they would have if they had ignored it, and David acquired both a domain and a permanent demonstration of how to handle a legal threat from a position of moral and technical advantage. He has been quietly outmaneuvering people on the internet since the internet was three years old.

So many in the world today are consumed with artificial desires. We grasp at imaginary straws.
We work harder and harder and stress ourselves out to achieve more and more, but to what end?
So we can become lawyers and businesspeople?
So we can make lots of money to buy a big house or a fancy car that can’t buy us happiness or health?
What is the soul? Where is it?
Well, I found it first in the cold and then in the breath that followed. There’s nothing mystical or abstract about it.
It’s physical. Your breath is your life-force, right here, right now.
It could not be any simpler.
Just breathe and reclaim your soul.

@aidigest_ oh wow that interface is insanely close to what GPT built for me for a completely different subject matter 😵💫

@webmasterdave @algekalipso Whats the domain ownership <--> Sentience killing connection?? As in , protect your voice by owning your content forever?
English

@algekalipso 30 years have passed. But I still urge everyone to get a website on their own domain. Mercifully, fox hunting is now banned in the UK. But killing sentient beings for fun should be banned worldwide.

@Ash1138 @TheLivingLibary Empower yourself people this stuff is cool and it's child's play
English

@Ash1138 @TheLivingLibary Plus mine has any mode you wish, you just ask which perspective to take. It's not a genius idea. You're seeing one mode, so mine is probably better and I just asked AI to make the prompt itself, not even my thinking. It's a one prompt project not something to sell or brag about.
English

@Ash1138 @TheLivingLibary Oh no, it's half a prompt away from being exactly the same. What will I ever fucking do?
English

@haze4444 @TheLivingLibary Sure. I don't doubt it's amazing.
But your screenshot shows it's not the same.
English

@DelamorEternal It's even easier: you just ask chatGPT to give you the prompt to replicate this idea, then enter that prompt and give it the sources to your digital library. It can handle thousands of ebooks per upload or integrate right into your Google drive. No extra steps needed.
English

@DelamorEternal I mean I just asked chatgpt about this I and it said you can do it easily on a local PC by installing ollama and a free model like Mistral or LlaMa and train it yourself on your GPU for free. Or plug in your API key and just train a chatgpt model to do it for less than a dollar
