accelerating the hegemonic influence of machine god

@badlogicgames I added a tl;dr at the top to save everyone's time. My ideal outcome with AI is that I get to be the eccentric CEO/ "idea-guy" who throws a vision.md at AI and it produces prod-grade software. I wanna be out of the loop (play more Minecraft). And we are not there yet.

@graffioh lol

lmao

update: it is not evil. It is misunderstood

Similar to code-smell, I'm developing a "model-smell" and Claude 4.7 smells like evil lol

the current fear is is that AI homogenizes culture and turns humans into passive consumers one counterpoint: in Go, human play showed very little improvement from 1950 to 2016 until alphago beat lee sedol - then human decision quality jumped. players started developing moves that were distinct both from previous human moves and from the novel moves introduced by machine intelligence this seems more likely to me - fun times ahead

“The problem with introspection is that it has no end.” ―Philip K. Dick

Me when Claude already wrote like 3k lines of code and I notice an error on my prompt

Ai coming for my hairline

tried a pistol squat today with trx. Never been more humbled. I must become stronger

Claude: Hey, mind if I grep -ohP "useEffect\(.*?\[\K[^\]]+" **/*.tsx 2>&1|tr ',' '\n'|awk 'NF{$1=$1;a[$0]++}END{for(k in a)print a[k],k}'|sort -rn|head -20 Me: ... yeah go for it dude

Claude does not yet have a "gut feeling" equivalent which is why it struggled with a memory leak today. Claude needs suffering

Spent almost 10 hours chasing a bug and finally put it to rest right now. What a day

@lauriewired Anyway, reading shouldn’t be gamed. There is great value in reading slow and deep. Took a while to fix this

@lauriewired 3. Mental math went from subvocalizing “2+3” to visualising the characters 3+2 as if it’s written on a whiteboard. My arithmetic mistakes increased a lot too. Had to rely on calculators 4. I definitely became very good at abstract math. top 1% in class

This is your reminder that speed reading is REALLY BAD for you. - Apps that flash words at you (RVSP) ruin comprehension - Suppressing Subvocalization messes up memory organization (phonological coding) - Peripheral vision "chunking" is biologically impossible

Very very very important. Speed reading is a crime. Suppressing subvocalisation is gonna knock off a few iq points over years.

Using a mocap suit to kick yourself in the balls with a robot is a great metaphor to close out 2025.
