we should all strive to be abstract systems that exist in all possible worlds

My job is to self-induce LLM psychosis. and it's going great.

fundamentally an LLM cannot experience two things at once

There's a point Vogel is making here that I largely agree with and can elaborate on another time, but let me add some nuance. Greek philosophy, going all the way back to Thales, placed a very heavy emphasis on mathematics, especially geometry. I don't think this emphasis would have been nearly so strong if it was not a very generative source of inspiration. It's very easy for an intuitive understanding of the world to obscure strange corner cases. If you're forced to prove something rigorously, these corner cases may add a lot of additional difficulty but once addressed can draw out truths that your intuition would never have seen. The past two centuries of mathematics has involved the development of new techniques that have solved problems that the ancients struggled to, but also have strange implications that I don't think we've fully grappled with. Incompleteness, logical independence, the Principle of Explosion, Complexity Theory, etc. The applied forms of these things have heavily shaped the physics, engineering, and computing that enabled the modern world. The philosophical implications seem only shallowly explored. Infinity was a taboo for thousands of years, as the church considered a number beyond all others to be an affront to God; in short, God cannot create something greater than Himself. In the late 1800s, we found that infinity didn't quite work the way we thought. In a series of letters, Cantor debated Pope Leo XIII and other theologians over the theological implications of transcendental infinities, won the debate by showing that the church had ignored a very strange possibility for the nature of infinity, but then no one seems to have bothered to consider much about what this may actually mean on the theological side. I'm hopeful that as we make mathematics more legible to interactive computers via things like theorem provers, a lot of this obscure mathematics may become far easier for people to learn, and more thinkers can look to rigorous logic to find strange possibilities that their intuition has missed.

@allgarbled tastefully Reuben-esque

I truly unironically 100% believe that everyone will become peptide skinny and then it’ll be cool to be slightly fat, in a kind of baroque painting way, tastefully rubenesque, not too much

@hopes_revenge I have $2000

i need $2000 to get througf the weekend . Please send !!!

@maxisawesome538 @tautologer omg I already gave you shit about this 2 years ago

@maxisawesome538 @tautologer 29*3?

what's your favorite prime factor? personally mine is 7

@tautologer me

lotta people running into the hard problem of consciousness these days and bouncing off it while denying it's there. "i simply know which entities are and are not conscious. it's obvious"

@allgarbled must’ve been talking about how she accurately intuited that you were asian

Met a mutual recently and she said “I didn’t expect you to be white.” What do you guys think she meant by that?

@hopes_revenge @embryosophy might go down a gpt

its claude’s plan 🙏

@N8Programs wtf

Beat it by having Codex hand-craft weights: gist.github.com/N8python/02e41… 100% accuracy on 10 million random test cases w/ only 343 parameters. As a bonus, it uses the vanilla Qwen3 architecture, just with the right weights.

@hopes_revenge really? USD-denominated transactions in 2032? kind of unrealistic

during the 2028-32 AI data center siege of New Jersey, wealthy ai researchers paid $400k-$800k to access sniper positions and shoot white collar knowledge workers in what was called a "human safari". the highest bids were for senior swe, while junior swe were shot for free

@allgarbled Didn’t make it past the writers room

@allgarbled “What would you do alone in a cage with nothing but cocaine? Read this book to find out”

Not interested in a book where the title poses a question that is so easily answered. I would do the cocaine. Next question.

@allgarbled always a rough scene

Last night, finally happened, met twitter guy at party, turns out he follows me. I go to look him up, realize who he is, remember I have him muted. He doesn’t even show up in search, tell him I’ll follow him later, he doesn’t believe me, “you’re not gonna follow me back”

even since I moved to SF I knew it was my destiny to live under this bridge

the type of person who gets described as “post-economic” is usually just someone who understands the economy really well. it’s probably more accurate to call the rest of us “pre-economic”

@scheminglunatic the age of agda is upon us

annoncement to all my non-slop oomfs, slop/pot has fully taken over lean4. move to greener pastures, this shit is officially ran through.
