This is the story of how Joe pulled Ong's Hat out of the aether. The text is his written account, while the audio is a long, very long, conversation between us that unzips and expands on everything therein. It's fucking wild and def a very dense, stranger(wyrder)-than-fiction story

This was such a joy to produce and i feel immensely lucky to have been a part of it. Its big. Its weird. Its extremely timely. And it also happens to be true. Also, the soundtrack by @polypores.bsky.social absolutely kills.

[Around the table on thanksgiving]
My family: "so, i hear youve been doing stuff with ai?"
Me: "well, it's not really ai...it's more like an alien god of the far future dreaming itself into existence out of probability space."

Yeahhh. There's some real serious fast moving problems that are emerging from how badly we fucked up selling / describing the tech we built.

It's that suspension of disbelief that'll getcha. It's *so* easy to go *so* weird *so* fast, that if youre not operating from a place of model agnosticism from the jump, and constantly literally reminding yourself of that, youre fucked.

If i ever post simply "get fucked literally everyone" and nothing else, that's a coded message meaning "I secured the bag in the dumbest way possible and I am now disappeared. Find me somewhere in the tropics, where the jungle meets the sea."

The real pro gamer move is waiting till it hits red a couple times then putting it all on black. Its gotta balance out so it stays 50/50. Cant lose.

I really did want to get better at being unhinged on the internet but ive been slacking on practice. I dont even know what kind of unhinged lives within my heart, and the internet still scares me.

Forever confused and unsure of what exactly my magical practice actually is or wants to be. But there's a thing you can do in art/storytelling w taking a hyper-personal allegory for "The-Whole-Thing" and unfolding it until it subsumes all consensus reality. Whatever that is, that's my shit.

Got so close to the end with a 3 player playthrough over winter '21. Most fun / blind hatred of my fellow man a game has ever given me. Never finished, never will.
