wow jwz is an asshole

i only have two modes: zero eye contact or very intense eye contact. on at least one occasion the latter has led me into an ill-advised marriage

awesome thanks! gonna try this out

once you feel the texture of people projecting higher dimensional vector spaces down into 2D spaces, you see it everywhere, and it does, honestly, distresses me.

i yearn for the higher dimensions, please stop projecting my attention space into a line.

To be clear, sometimes this process is very informal. Formality can get in the way too.

But I do think one of the best ways to interact with LLMs is by understanding words as abstract vectors interacting with other abstract vectors on the semantic manifold. There is a semantic class diagram.

oh i have boosts off on following lol i hate em. i should try the mutuals feed that sounds like my shit. do you have a link handy?

being a really good touch typist lets you look away from the screen, and even look directly into someone’s eyes as you type. the mystique this grants you is very powerful.

ideal image generator use case

oh? why? it’s the main one i use

Well said. I think of almost every AI chat as a programming project. You research. You pick features. You pick limitations and scope. You design an architecture of concept-classes that are knowable and interact with each other in predictable ways.

You build, and then you test, and then you iterate.

Collections: Life, Work, Death and the Peasant, Part V: Life In Cycles This is the fifth and final part of our series (I, II, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb, IVc, IVd, IVe) looking at the structures of life for pre-modern peasant farmers and showing how historical modeling can …

This week on the blog: Peasants! We are at last putting together and wrapping up our discussion of life for pre-industrial peasants - a category which includes a majority of all humans who have ever lived.

How we can model how they lived, worked, loved and died.

GSV Everything I Ever Sent You Is Off Record

this is not how i use LLMs/AI but it's an interesting example of a way to use them that isn't the simplistic stereotype of "naive wishful-thinking dumbass projecting onto the markov generator output" that many critics believe in

oh well i equipped some new-to-me Kiri and Ana skins and won two matches that were difficult enough to be fun but not really nailbiters either

now i remember why i used to play this game so much. when it's fun it's *really* fun.

why did i suddenly have a shitload of new skins in Overwatch after barely playing for... idk

was it the expired loot boxes??

you lost me there lmao. the weather is terrible and there are not enough mountains.

but most of my friends and all of my family are still there and i’d probably move back if it became Woxas overnight.

i think low-frustration-tolerance suitable approaches to learning would be slower in general, for exactly the reason you saying. it’s great to be frustration-tolerant and just bull through every “what the fuck” and “why the shit isn’t this working”.

i’m just bad at it. i get frustrated and quit.

the 90s media environment really sold that as the ideal aspirational lifestyle didn't it

i think this is somewhat true for me, but i also think when i think that... it's more the depression speaking than reality.

hopefully ketamine will fix me :)

this approach takes a *lot* of frustration tolerance and tolerance for timeline uncertainty

i'm so ai-pilled i can even make doing drugs about ai

how's your experience getting other people onboarded? i have a ton of people on Signal at this point and idk if i can do another "hey you should add this app so we can talk securely" thing lol

an interesting example of human multi-modality is the way that video/film representations of "what it's like to be on drugs" are often actually pretty accurate, in my experience. and having seen representations feels like it did prepare me, to a certain extent, for the experience itself.

i did remember to breathe, go me

probably needed that advice, we went up on dosing today and wow

turns out that meeting a trans woman who is hotter, sounds better, passes better, has a good and interesting job that requires a much higher level of education than i have, etc, was probably destabilizing for my mental health

i am very smart so i also started reading a book about status hierarchies

time to explore inner space

as in, when we started hearing about things like "Target knows you're pregnant before you do," and stuff like that, I think we started to accustom ourselves to the idea that obviously somewhere in a data lake somewhere there's already a complete profile of us, as opposed to us noticing lucky guesses

“a partial fix is worse than no fix because no fix will motivate a full fix” is a complex second order argument that should probably come with detailed analysis of the best available evidence and most accurate models, rather than sneering derision at anyone who prefers the partial fix to no fix.

you can actually do that now but nobody thinks to ask it lol

we need the AI to impose training on new users

i think the net flow of "helping" flows from her to me. i can carry heavy objects up the stairs most days. she can earn the salary that keeps me and her and the rest of our polycule in housing and food, and drive me to and from ketamine infusions on top. it's not really particularly close.
