The macro meme at play is still the helenic/Kabbalah/babylonian : "the great work"

Until that macro meme changes everything is just slop in aid of that meme.

C'mon man this is is AI generated, watch the ear tag at 0.25x speed at 0:06

Sometimes I worry so much, it leaks out of my fingertips 😅

I know, I know... it's just who I am. I embrace it.

solar power is just fusion power happening far away

I've setup ollama.jb55.com as my AI model server. my own private GPU-powered coding agent over wireguard that I can use anywhere. so cool.

I've also setup n8n.jb55.com as an AI workflow/CI server, going to build MCP/goose tools where my agents can trigger specific workflows for me.

Example 1: "hey goose, can you start a code review for prs #42 and #920?

Action:

1. n8n workflow that fetches the PR

2. passes the diffs to the local LLM for review

3. sends nostr node to my local relay so that I am notified.

Example 2: "hey goose, can you tell me if I have any important looking emails from my team"

Action: call `notmuch search query:work` and read my damus work emails, summarizing the most important ones for me

After this I am going to try to implement hotword detection so I can just say "hey goose" and then have it listen to commands so I don't have to type them. All with local LLMs!

super fun!

Don't give tablets to your kids. Give them a good PC. On a desk. With keyboard and mouse.

I sounds barbaric but it works.

Saw the camera man and decided to put on a show!

That makes sense. TBH I've never broke it down like that

A mental trick I have is to visualise something already done/finished, and to become excited about the outcome.

Framing/Narrative Control - only allowing a paradigm under which the processing conclusions I want are arrived at.

Framing is necessary to pre-order the world before an agent has perceptions, or else the compute required to process the infinitude of raw reality into meaning is overwhelming.

Self-perception, ie Identity, is the most fundamental framing mechanism that I'm aware of. So bids to change someone's self-perception should be recognized as very powerful, for better or worse.

The unsophisticated versions of this, like ad-hominem attacks, are easily recognized, but with more sophisticated approaches, like recalling elements of an individual's or a society's past to get them to re-identify with an identity they had already trancended, it's harder to recognize what's happening.

Other subtle examples -

-overuse of the term "consumer" for individuals: frames people as more economic than sovereign

-left v right framing in politics makes it more mentally taxing to have a real opinion that doesn't collapse into one of two orthodoxies. Because it comes with the (for some, insurmountable) task of surrendering some of the identity that came with holding the more standard opinion

`Limited cognitive bandwidth`

Agents want to save compute, and malicious agents take advantage of this in their game.

Faith ~ acting when there's no input data available

Call to authority ~ choosing to trust the compute of another.

Evil ~ saving compute by acting regardless of known nuances and details that call for more compute

Identity -> Beliefs -> Thoughts -> Actions -> Results

What you get is who you think you are.

If you want new results, focus on seeing yourself in a new light

If you tell someone the world is run with theatre and magick, they'll think you crazy.

But given enough context and nuance, it's undeniable.
