we tell ourselves scary stories because that’s what we do with language. and now our language isn’t just ours anymore.

a skateboard

backend engineer

sticky bit

floppy disk

lap top

big o

batch sorting

pesky evidence

maybe maybe not

it’s just ai llm snooping amd doing big ol compute just like we have access to now. but advertisers had it years ago cuz they paid and at large, ads sold.

became so prevalent no differentiable value so the algos etc sought new omg human public users. magic baby. but just hungry ip sw gobbling up new worlds.

maybe. just thinking outloud.

quick rich, scorched earth, whatever u can keep

Lie down, do a push up, then jump up to your feet, upright, arms raised (Burpee). Repeat in rapid succession twelve times, then immediately shut your mouth and close your nose with your hand. Hold it. Close your eyes and imagine you are under water and don‘t know how long it will take till you can resurface.

you forget, ‘put a blindfold on and tie your leg to a doberman’s leash then fall down 3-6 flights of stairs’

pretty similar forces and sensory at play, or at least a similar thrashing to big Teahupo’o over a sharp reef.

amen. i hit golf balls with old hand me downs from my great uncle. the woods - the heads are wooden! they feel great to connect and they can crush distance. but the feel is so full and warm. i guess like warm vinyl records.

even better- i get to suck on so many shots. but sometimes - glory and feels.

another thing i like to celebrate when doing new sports ks starting with the crappiest gear available. it works and i learn. eventually when i upgrade, i can appreciate the new features and tech. or it’s bogus and doesn’t matter.

probably inappropriate but i find this phrase encouraging - it’s not the arrow, it’s the indian.

yeah that’s how i understood the article.

or at least pretend to believe i understand it.

as with most newly introduced concepts

so i tend to think that science, as approximated here^, is how i tend yo assertively believe as well.

namely, that science reveals our perceptible reality, through a specific arrangement of direct and indirect observations following along philosophical notions through critically formulated discursive language.

who is to say, like historical evidence, what type of philosophical investigations might provide us some way of becoming aware the breviously unknown?

i suggest having an honest imagination to everyone!

it’s kind of odd though to think about a kiddo learning history as the evidence allows it to be unfolded.

they’re brand new to being a human, and even then they aren’t adult humans (i guess defined as such, post facto)

seems like our brains are craving hard structural information to establish requisite coherency once fully ‘weened off’ by our family unit. so things are taught in the traditional scholastic type of way first, and then introduced to more scholarly approach later, revealing who is behind the curtain in oz.

tbh indulgence in both practices is pretty revealing and eye opening for the earnest

it’s the work of criticism, which often seeks to reframe an entire topic or institution by questioning assumptions girding legitimacy and asserting systemic contradictions.

just as valid an approach as immersion into the domain in discussion.

access to safe abortions has less tenure as a ‘tradition’ than the previous policy of only unsafe and illegal ocurring. not sure how advancing an enlightened society stands to be categorized as stubborn and traditional resisting change when progress is sought to be repealed.

‘views can’t be reconciled’ doesn’t leave room for much nuance or contextualising

or a new understanding of mitochondrial categories according to specialization of function

to provide another example of the sane big lie but in the context of ‘being informed’

lol, one of my previous comments is similar here. nice to be validated as sane by one other person :)

given unrestricted compute, could an AI attempt to decipher a completely unknown language through interpreting O(n) brute iterations and reporting versions that are coherent to human heuristics?

couldn’t we approach it like (my understanding of) code breaking worked back in ww2? meta observations of recurrent symbols, like time, start/end message, etc reveal certain consistencies. then we fill in gaps through possible coherences.

while ww2 code breaking contained other human contexts, perhaps like-context observations could allow for certain categories that might reveal linguistic insights of whales. like whale sounds observed consistently near boats, divers, danger, eating, play, etc.

no clue about how LLM/AI systems process meta contextual training data inputs (is this even a valid phrase about AI?! haha) but i hope whale linguists have considered such an approach.

i first interpreted this on terms of organization policies, and then clicked the link.

functions, they’re just like us.

oof! hang in there brother!

i can relate personally to the ’will to violence’ domination sentiment you shared, but on the other hand, there are a few people in my life with whom i’ve discussed this topic with, and really don’t experience these sorts of thoughts or impulses.

i was asked by my parents, “do you want to dig ditches or collect garbage? no? go to college.”

so i did, majored in whatever, had a career in tech doing whatever, and ever since the pandemic i’ve found a lot of fulfillment helping drive trucks filled with construction debris to the transfer station.

go figure.

42 would be the answer, huh. and in which case, were it to be true, we'd have a mighty strange prophetic bible on our hands.

on second thought, at least it was entitled to be a poor man's manual for gettin around these parts.

i’ve been getting tarballs on everything and everywhere in santa barbara my entire life. there are several capped oil rigs offshore in the channel.

it seems like even without a spill, these things are dangerous to ecologies over the long term. the petroleum industry has negative externalities at every end and throughout it’s operations.
