Unless a true Oracle appears, there will be no re-enchantment. You can’t simply make up gods because it fits your politics or whatever

The Garryduff Bird
This tiny ornament dates between 600-700 AD. It is one of the earliest examples of gold filigree work in Ireland, thought to represent a wren. It was found in a ringfort in Garryduff, east Cork in 1945.

@turbarius My immediate theory here is that since the middle English letter 'yogh' diverged into both modern Y and GH, perhaps the scribe knew this and took the Nennian letter as a yogh rather than a Y.

@SCHIZO_FREQ I always interpreted the internal monologue discourse as a neural speciation marker, not like a caste hierarchy, since some people and races clearly think more in words and others in images. Intelligent Whites seem to think in images and constantly live-translate into a monologue
English
This is always how I assumed LLMs would wind up functioning because this is how I (and presumably most others) think
I assume the base unit of thought is this gestalt thought vector thing, not "words," and we've just all developed a very fast way to translate these to words because words are more communicable than thought pieces
This was always my issue with "some people don't have an internal monologue!" discourse
It just makes no sense for words to be the base unit people think in. It's like 1000x faster to think in terms images or these thought pieces or whatever
I assume it just seems like people think in words bc when they describe what they're thinking to people, they have to translate the thought pieces to words - as that's how we communicate - and this process converts their actual thoughts into the form of a monologue
But it only makes sense to think in words when you need to output some form of communication. Otherwise it's not very efficient
And human brains are insanely efficient
Simplifying AI@simplifyinAI
🚨 BREAKING: Tencent has killed the “next-token” paradigm. Tencent and Tsinghua has released CALM (Continuous Autoregressive Language Models), and it completely disrupts the next-token paradigm. LLMs currently waste massive amounts of compute predicting discrete, single tokens through a huge vocabulary softmax layer. It’s slow and scales poorly. CALM bypasses the vocabulary entirely. It uses a high-fidelity autoencoder to compress chunks of text into a single continuous vector with 99.9% reconstruction accuracy. The model now predicts the “next vector” in a continuous space. The numbers are actually insane: - Each generative step now carries 4× the semantic bandwidth. - Training compute is reduced by 44%. - The softmax bottleneck is completely removed. We’re literally watching language models evolve from typing discrete symbols to streaming continuous thoughts. This changes the entire trajectory of AI.

@ChevaucheeN @myth_pilot I second this, BAP always seemed to view "religion" synonymous with "frenzy" and for tepid religiosity to be false. Supposedly religion and fertility are both causal to some prior lifestyle or disposition which can maybe only be rekindled through a "budulak" or "kanamara matsuri"
English
@myth_pilot BAP would make the counterargument that “religiosity” as measured today is very much the opposite of the “frenzy” that constituted religious rite in the past; that measuring religiosity today is merely counting the heads of those who already assented rationally to life
English
I think BAP is too quick to dismiss religiosity here, especially as his final argument is for a fertility cult (just a different kind of religiosity)
He’s right that feminists and trads basically view male sexuality as suspect and deranged.
Ultimately these things work for more fertility:
- less diversity
- less economic supports for women
- more economic supports for men
- more religiosity
Ultimately it doesn’t have to be about “persuasiveness” of the arguments or whether sloots in LA like them or not; Groups that exhibit these traits will simply outcompete the others. No discussion required.

@blancmontagnard Paid goes against spirit of free information, makes it hard for newcomers. Maybe there should be a free section where anyone can post to establish themselves, and then an inner sanctum
English
@oecolamp E.g. by establishing a eugenics Program and removing all tax burden and loan interest from Participants, would have the same effect but through a "via negativa" where the state cedes control, rather than claiming power as in BAP's solution.
English
@oecolamp Valid disagreement but I think it's implicit in BAP's essay that the eugenic council wouldn't be controlled by sheboon bureaucrats. The wider argument is for the state and the disfigured masses to work for their superiors, even financially, which could be achieved in other ways.
English
This passage strikes me as apt propaganda for the masses: film showing young male reveling in Tyrolean mountains maybe in Early Renaissance, living among animals and hawks, then going into town to steal a girl back to his den. Veneration of youth & space similar to Blue Lagoon...
