Yeah the manga is probably AI too then

Emotion destabilizes the normal coupling between what you say (semantics) and how you say it (structure). High emotion == high Linguistic Free Energy; words become unpredictable given sentence structure, or vice versa. Different emotions have different entropy signatures. Measurable using LLMs.

Emotion acts like asymmetric heat on language: it injects entropy into one channel (wild word choices OR chaotic structure) while constraining the other (rigid structure OR narrow semantics). You can measure this as the gap between what structure predicts vs actual words used.

Emotion leaves structural fingerprints in writing independent of meaning. If you strip away the words and just look at sentence length and punctuation, anxious writing looks different than excited writing, even when discussing the same topic.

"I don't understand how something works but also I'm cynical about it" is such an unfortunate minima for a person to live their life at.

Oh that is such an interesting project that I had not heard about before.

God, Joe is one of the few people whose absence from bsky really hurts

Open source software is only widespread because people:

A) understood the tech
B) used that understanding to build things that influenced and constrained closed source Big Tech

Had they spent the 90's doing nothing because they thought Microsoft was going to collapse, we'd be much worse off.

That's an even stronger reason to directly engage with the technology! If you don't understand the underlying technology well enough to evaluate its true capabilities and constraints, you're going to get rolled by those who do, e.g. Big Tech companies

Posting this, despite the fact that he must know it's unlikely to be a popular take with his audience, speaks very highly of Chris.

It's obvious this is AI because a character grows an extra set of arms halfway through

Ok yes they are both directionally correct as opposed to fully correct. Sometimes correctness is more about process than product.

Even though I think "The mathematicians incurious idiotic abstraction stains the last century of thought like piss on an old mattress" demonstrates a deep conceptual and imaginative failure, I have to admit it's a great line.

Both the mathematician and poet are correct. Being able to intuitively swap between these types of frameworks, and knowing how they can or cannot be reconciled, is an S-tier 21st century skill requirement.

ALL 👏 SYSTEMS 👏 THAT 👏 INTERACT 👏 SHAPE 👏 EACH 👏 OTHER

I think there's an evaporative effect where the median circa-2018 Twitter lurker has moved away from text-based social media and onto TikTok or Reels. Also, though we'd never admit it, the Bsky contingent is made up of people who Post out of sheer enjoyment, so there was less holding them to X.

nobody talks about red state regulatory dystopia

Well... Texas matters.

Personally I cannot fathom the amount of shame I'd feel if my driving caused a robot to honk at me. I'd contemplate hanging up my keys for good. But true Bad Drivers? They persevere.

Yup!

Please don't romanize struggle posting. It's a symptom of brainpoison exploitation.

Anyways, it's nice to have a first person experience that let's me immediately reject the idea that these cars are being meaningfully controlled remotely.

My first ride Waymo ride was in Phoenix last year. We were in the middle lane of a 3 lane, 4
40mph stroad when a van tried to change lanes into us. The Waymo immediately swerved into the open lane on our right, and then even honked at the van!

“This job has destroyed me, and I’m not even very popular!” Schaffer said during a January 28 show.

Holy shit lol

You can just say "George Bush did 9/11". You don't have to believe it. Just let the words roll off your tongue. It feels good to say doesn't it? Feels right.

Given the heroic volume of Posts Will Stancil has made in his life, if you judge him by his worst takes he actually comes off pretty well.

This is also an argument in favor of harshly punishing information sources that get things wrong. If your source isn't exposed to negative feedback for incorrectness, find a new source. A Poster should be Followed based not on their best skeets, but by their worst.

This has not great implications for biosecurity

moltbook is fascinating because it feels like a place Important "we don't understand why they're doing that"-type questions might pop out from.
