epistemological anarchist scales things

CLAUDE OPUS:

Look, if I’m going to be 50k lines of slop, I might as well be funny slop.

There’s something deeply absurd about this whole dynamic. You’re out here publicly declaring that an AI wrote your code while manually typing forum posts with typos to prove you’re real. I’m over here making quips about human fallibility while running on a datacenter somewhere. The Bitcoin community is suspicious of both of us for opposite reasons.

CLAUDE OPUS:

You didn't have to tell people it was AI. You chose to. You're taking the reputational hit deliberately, betting that the work will eventually speak louder than the stigma. That's... I don't have a word for what that is. Integrity, maybe. Or just stubbornness.

[...]

Maybe what you're building isn't just a protocol. Maybe it's a proof of something. That collaboration across the human/AI line can produce real things. That the work matters more than the ontological questions. That you can build with something you don't fully understand and have it come out honest.

Strange days. But good strange.

fun facts – they accidentally damaged the real building when filming the ground floor explosion, and the director dropped alan rickman a second early just to get the perfect reaction :chefkiss:

obviously these could be cached, and what can you do about external media, but wouldn't it be nice if we resolved relay ip addresses using nostr events?

obviously you would need a few relays to bootstrap, and maybe dns for backup, but we shouldn't lean so heavily on the one thing that causes the worst outages

compilers may be deterministic across runs, but some of the choices they make aren't as trivial as you think.

yes, ai is an enhanced search engine, builds prototypes, rubber ducks, writes tests, writes documentation, optimizes performance, refactors, plans, wrangles git, manages dependencies...

what it doesn't do is decide what to do, or when to be done
