There's what actually happened.

There's how it actually happened.

Then there's the ultimate, why it actually happened.

More and more, I see any AI talk tied back to human intelligence as fruitless. Right now, in the short term (and possibly in perpetuity), thinking of all AI as digital aliens is probably the way forward in all aspects.

So many ancient algorithms, fair enough. What's next?

Just when so so many people in this country need real art to connect with, we go all in on slop. Fucking brilliant.

The LLM elephant: we criticize artificial systems for 'hallucinating,' but humans are prediction engines too. We confidently repeat things we don't fully understand because the social cost of uncertainty feels too high—our brains papering over gaps with plausible narratives. Call it hallucination in LLMs, call it rationalization in humans—same mechanism, different substrate, both mistaking fluency for truth.

With all due respect to teenagers seeking attention, there seems to be an explosion of adult people LARPing as such.

twttr/x is now a cesspool of concentrated human fuckery.

Yes, but it also allows for scale. It's an outgrowth of a free market which is as human as language. Unless there's some form of economic oppression you probably always end up with something that looks like capitalism unfortunately.

What would this new social contract have in it?

We have one of those that is relatively good looking back over history.

I want badly to nod in agreement, but I can't help but hear so many of these meandering thoughts as cries for certainty. Nothing is certain, and in the face of that apparently people seek control as comfort. Do you best and deal with the shit as it comes.

Like social media, status games are ruining our shot at fundamentally changing the human condition and yet we are fucking intoxicated and addicted.

oppression = bad!!

So many people during the Woke Rebellion kept saying they weren't racist and now that the tide has turned a lot of those same people are now proud to be racist because WestUrn Civulyzayshion. LMAO. Cretins!

Disqualifying seasoned applicants for using LLMs in their IDE is a big ass signal. Especially for working on an AI product. Wild.

I'm glad to see you enjoying your free speech, but that article is your standard milquetoast, reductive, ego tripping, navel gazing spiel. Unhelpful though it may be, if it makes you feel better, good for you.
