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.

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."

My father, grieving the end of our genetic line: "pass the turkey"

Also i think more than anything it was the salvia trip when i was 16 that ive never been able to be 100% sure i ever came back from lmao

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.

Aw hell we hyperstition'd hyperstition

Myco/acc: give the mushrooms access to ai and just fuckin let 'er rip.

Goldlewis Dickinson is the best character in the history of media. But nah, I'm a Zato guy

I have way too many hours in guilty gear to be this prone to ass whuppins

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.

It's not all it's cracked but to be, but it's like 80%

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.

I'm gonna get good at posting this time I swear
