Adric @adricmn.bsky.social · 25/09/2026One of the patterns you see when people postquote text from 'agent swarms' or chain of thought stuff: to the extent an AI has a persistent "identity", it maintains that by writing notes telling a future instance what it was up to? So this seems like the same thing. You're a demon possessing the AI. 030

Reposted by AdricHildur Knútsdóttir @hildur.bsky.social · 03/07/2023My favourite fact about Iceland is that we have many, many crime writers but only one forensic pathologist, and he was so busy answering all of their questions that he decided to have a small seminar for writers to get some peace. It immediately sold out so he had another one that also sold out. 6051101419
