More ideas, less scolding as if you are superior

Oh but it is; they can demand hardware based filters and restrictions.

“Hardware will filter these vectors from models and block them from frame buffer, audio, etc, or require opt in royalty payments to view them.”

I never said they were a great measure. Another tool in the toolkit. Or it was anyway.

It’s not just you; pop music compositions with key changes that add complexity have all but vanished since the early 00s: https://flowingdata.com/2022/11/22/decline-of-key-changes-in...

Automation tools and fine grained computed metrics have rounded off the edges of emotional experiences. See Bobby Kotick about taking the fun out of games: https://www.escapistmagazine.com/bobby-kotick-wants-to-take-...

Him saying that is around the time the music compositions start becoming similar. The mentality was not constrained to games.

Nothing is allowed to be it’s own thing anymore. It has to be hypernormalized to have enough reach a billionaire CEO can profit from.

MBA-ification of reality.

We could, oh, I don’t know, build local work groups and refuse to accept US dollars locally.

There are other frequencies we can speak, and geometry we can “draw” on the globe via agency. No need to constrain them to ephemeral value stores and chants of the last 60-70 years.

It’s pretty sad how we set aside our self guided learning to prop up gadgets to prop up some hallucinated figurative view of the world we had foisted on us.

I feel zero obligation to play host to a mind virus that preserves Zuckerberg and crews figurative identity. I only do so as a pragmatic acquiescence given the other primates fealty. It’s gross.

Reality isn’t fractal. People leaving for a variety of motives, expansion of some offices, closing others… chip away at the edge of known truth.

Entropy forces new relative perspective. Humans need to do better about accepting figurative and literal death and chill. There quite literally is nowhere else to go except insane from repeating ourselves.

A rewrite of philosophical priority is a necessity for anyone under 50 and the species. That has to be taken sincerely and seriously because, well they kind of outnumber the ossified pensioner, and if they’re staring down forced obligation to choke on fire smoke for 60 years or dump gramps overboard, no one around to see it happen will be around long enough to insure it’s a footnote in any discussion of history.

Self proclaimed STEM minded secular people seem just fine ignoring evidence that does not fit the civic life narrative they’ve been spoon fed like it’s immutable truth. Seems to have latched itself onto whatever quirk of biology religion accidentally exploited; like a nihilism cause it’s all gods plan kind of woo.

“Hey look at me, mom! My life goal is making computers do what they were intentionally designed to do!”

That can be automated; any acceptable experience is a finite set of constraints. DOOM is pretty DOOMy. Same for Halo. Email clients. But hey we have figurative career ambitions, man; Google Fellow! Boom goes the dynamite.

Smaller models first; let’s make an AI to replace the CEO by assigning project management to vetted candidates via publicly audited randomizer. Term limits for geniuses who always seem to end up enjoying their own farts.

“I’m sorry general manager of capital intense AI infrastructure, you are tonight’s… weakest link! dropped into literal shark tank”

It’s been a long day. Sorry not sorry for the more unhinged off gassing.

And that’s fine. We need less low effort rage bait, viral influencer influence on the economy.

The reach of contrived political philosophy, fiat economic hustle, and pop culture gabber can be constrained; the obsolescence of /. , MySpace, and the like did not destroy reality. Now we know the outcome of the social media experiment. Utter dumpster fire.

It occurs to me people made a whole lot of small business work before handing sacks of cash to cloud SaaS

We need less adminisphere in all contexts so we can screw up again, let the wrong people helicopter us with banal AI bots, make lizard brain m sedate until it gets bored with AI bots. Then we’ll trot out a new copium for the masses and they can lean back again, super proud of their commitment to whatever hallucinated ideology they believe they’re serving.

All while waving off the ecological impact, because reality is just a big graph, mmmk

I would ditch user logins and user comments. Let OPs post a wallet or something and otherwise remain anon.

Avoid the hypernormalizing of commentary and costly moderation by forcing scrollers to comment elsewhere; cut and paste a link is not hard. Not every social media product needs the normalized set of features.

Social by default is exhausting. It’s the biggest downside to the internet and society these days. Yes we’re social creatures but we also evolved over centuries of social interaction being difficult to come by given slow travel across fast distances. We did not evolve around 24/7 consumption of human inane and repetitive first world gibberish.

Well given the policy of the US the last 70 years we’re boned if karma is coming for us.

Back to shrugging off the idea poor people on the other side of oceans are going to pick a fight with me specifically. I live in the middle; after rowing over the Pacific they’ll have to get through a lot of other people first.

Hey you should probably stop buying toxic technology and flying; would hate for the kids to karma your elder form.

Shit n hellfire; anyone making use of modern technology has little wiggle room to pontificate about why and how others are oblivious to reality of their choices.

Genius CEOs thought Fed money printer and covid were forever too.

You’re not a genius CEO. If the experts get it wrong all the time (and spend a ton of effort promoting what they “do right” to shape perception) why believe you saying 2 successful vids is a lasting trend?

Social media has exposed there is a depressing number of easily titillated by big numbers rubes in the world.

Lindy effect, Goodharts Law; the last 60-70 years are an outdated af zeitgeist to perpetuate.

Economic philosophy always ignores the real humans who will exist regardless what cherry picked economic markers indicate.

Reality will never care about any human philosophy. Humans will invest agency in interesting things regardless of some model in a vacuum anyone can conjure. Finance is has something very in common with religion; something humanity has zero obligation to perpetuate.

You have no idea what you’re talking about because we’ll just “fix” the philosophy to align with the reality. Trying to “fix people” to serve the philosophy is not happening.

Is Apple some immutable scientific center of reality? No. But neither are you. It’s not a question of Apple is or isn’t but a statement “you are not”.

Apple suddenly vanishing would actually have a much more dramatic effect on millions than 1,000 random open source freelancers vanishing.

Sounds like leaded gas. Wasn’t banned until 1980s.

Our leaders are 80 year old post war shell shocked, Cold War paranoids who huffed leaded gas fumes for decades. Explains quite a lot actually.

There’s a lot of examples out there where hiring family was a complete flop. Show data trust in family is rational and not just low effort.

I think you’re making up a narrative that sounds roughly technical, roughly contemporary wisdom but is 100% primate throwing BS.

What is SF doing different is not bussing their problem to Texas or Florida as Texas and Florida do.

This culture is a joke. An intentionally unaccountable but highly compensated and connected federal political apparatus is ignored and blame placed on local power for its lack of accountability fixing country-wide issues.

Such exceptional neighbors I have across the country that they put up with this.

There are a lot of winners through nepotism in the world.

Your ability to craft an idea in correct logic of a language does not mean the logic is meaningful to reality.

The same story exists across the US. How does San Francisco fix a national health issue when Congress refuses to do anything but cut taxes on the rich to force us into begging from someone who is obviously more pious given their wealth in a tilted wealth acquisition game.

How does SF fix a public looking to be served rather than serve themselves? Hypernormalization on fiat economics to accomplish anything is destroying everything.

This all makes sense as long as questions like “state hood” are a thing.

Us primates need not foist past spoken traditions and hallucinations on the future.

Surely the effort to manage LLMs is wasted on keeping a publisher from having to do the job they’re paid for.

Are we really going to let big corp automate away their role in the social contract? Ostensibly Random House needs to provide real output not just be a brand that farms out all the work to AI, and thus captures value on the fiat ledger.

The number of rent seeker non-contributors is too damn high. We cannot base society off dying peoples hallucinations about how the world works anymore. This is bonkers.

I never asked to exist. Why am I constrained to beliefs like Bill Gates and the like are divine in contemporary ways?

You aren’t the center of other people’s lives. How is any old arbitrary user to know you’re not a con of a dev?

Software sales are contrived fiat exchange to give your code access to my hardware and userspace. Who the f are you?

Higher ups?

The primate AI is hallucinating after decades of prompt injections.

What obligation do we have to coddle “higher ups” figurative identity?

That $1.50 bag of chips still cost the store 50 cents.

Red Bull cost pennies per gallon.

You see… the pricing of goods is arbitrary, as in mutable given human philosophical whims, not coupled to the movement of the universe otherwise, we’ve hallucinated an entire cottage industry around social sharing but only so long as everyone is socially sharing the right people are rich.

Our culture is itself something an AI might hallucinate.

Why everyone knows Martha Stewart has always been X rich so we will inflate the money supply with those immutable truths in mind and oops now thanks to her investment help she’s richer and everyone else without an investment team is poorer. Should have capitalized harder.

Do you think humans would do that? Intentionally instigate online engagement for profit?

You know the dumbest part about this ageist attack on youth (in context of climate and social life) is the gerontocrats dictating such are frail, old, and have no ability to feed themselves.

It’s all designed to isolate grandpa and grandma from work; prop up their ephemeral investments and keep producing their potatoes, kids! They earned it!

Sorry but I don’t think your grandma and parents are owed Porsches and mansions at the cost to my kids.

Thanks for the sixth grade civics run down.

Someone knowing the arbitrary law of primates is just thinking “they know better.” They know it’s illegal! It’s not a divine mandate; it’s projection of non-existent power of their own. They’ll lean on appeals to hallucinated political power!

No one questions the value of the law. What a sad little police state of NIMBY narcissists.
