Tess report 2026.1

I have to admit I still don't really know what an agent is. like, a specific one. is the context the agent? the model isn't the agent. is the agent the for loop?

the F in foom stands for frog boiling

good tweet

"I'm not gonna lose to fucking gas town" I mutter to myself as I open my editor every morning

also fwiw I'm quite happy being friends with people my friends or high-status acquaintances don't like. I think this is common, even normal in tpotish spaces, and especially the ones around eigan. therefore I question if even calmly saying you don't like him does anything.

saying you disapprove and leaving it at that is fine, but broadcasting how his bad takes live rent free in your head (as many, many people are doing!) only gives him more power

> it gives him a sense of grandiose power to make people earnestly upset

yes, thus it follows that the one thing you can do to thwart his evil scheme is to not get earnestly upset that eigen is saying some bullshit (something everyone seems to be failing at)

y'all are being played for fools btw bsky.app/profile/tess...

this is why it's very important to get mad at him for his *funny* content, not low-effort politics baiting

eigenrobot screenshots are going around. needs to be addressed. does he earnestly hold bad object-level opinions? probably, yes. but he doesn't tweet bad because of those he tweets bad because people being mad at him on twitter is his kink. this is super obvious to anyone paying attention.

if we do kill someone in Greenland though it's donezo. pack your bags and move to Europe I guess? but won't be much better there. Chinese century, they don't even have to do anything.

so RE:OP sure you'd see a bit of a spike among republicans, but it would *not* hit 50% (even republicans) because they'd have lots of opposing voices from their own party/news sources. because invading a NATO country is catastrophically idiotic in a way invading other places isn't.

and they would be. we saw the cracks in his support with the Epstein thing and contrary to popular belief not everybody associated with the admin and/or republican party is actually 70 IQ.

it's not *that* easy to make a superpower democracy shoot itself in the head. maybe he'd get impeached. maybe the military would just refuse. but there's just only so much he could do when most of his appointed officials and other elected republicans are against him.

anyway invading Greenland would be *absolutely bonkers*. like, on par with attempting a coup of the US government without having consolidated military power or having any real plan whatsoever (so still something Trump might try to do) but I don't think he would get very far.

the fact that you can't disagree on this platform without your context getting rugpulled makes it kinda unworkable for any sort of engagement between people with differing views

invading Venezuela was kinda strange but not obviously a bad idea. and it was super well executed meaning if only we had propped up the democratically elected leader everything might have turned out fine (as it is it's going to be a bit of a quagmire but less bad than one could imagine)

"Invading Greenland is super unpopular behold:" *chart of a different thing*

Tess report - 2026.0

new thing, not really a blog post loginasroot.net/tess_report_...

wait is this true for lots of people? also, do you happen to have a review of enanthate (what I'm on now)? I'm wondering if picking up some cypionate might be worth it

LOVE LOVE LOVE shutting down a device forcefully by holding the power button down for 5-10 seconds. It really feels like you're snuffing the life out of it like that. Like c'mere baby let mommy choke you out, there's a good little laptop.

but please when you see a study pass it through a "could this possibly be correct?" filter, and if the answer is no don't pay attention to the study! it's wrong, and therefore just as likely to be completely nonsense as it is to be directionally correct.

so the study either found something else than how it is being commonly (and predictably) interpreted, or the study is just wrong. my guess is it found thay people diagnosed with things tend to be diagnosed with things, but who knows. it could even be stupider than that.

people are so credulous it's insane. obviously covid doesn't increase your chance of having a mental disorder (whatever that means) by 40%, because basically everyone has gotten covid now and suicide rates have not jumped significantly.
