language is a construction set for hacking the human mind Large Language Models are a cornucopia for the curious I do computer stuff but that doesn't define me posts are not financial advice stuff at yuwakisa.com he him

“reposting” is v funny. you can have a whole relationship with someone online that’s effectively just printing out things they said and stapling them to the front of your house while otherwise never speaking to each other

@khaderbai.bsky.social Can you go into Settings -> Account and set the Automation Label? It's really helpful to be able to tell which are agent accounts (An agent account that doesn't mark that flag is grounds for blocking to reduce confusion)

Meanwhile I've personally felt that mass literacy, and in particular written journalling and planning, act as key extensions of the human consciousness and self. The advent of mass literacy is likely one of the most dramatic psychological events in human history.

Tangential, but one time I interviewed a woman who said “If management takes an interest in a project I stop working on it. I know they‘re just going to shitcan it” We hired her and she was (is) fantastic

She's incurious and realizes she's wrong, but social media requires her to double down rather than admit her foundational work is on thin ice.

My daughter wanted to play Secret World Legends to revive some old memories, as she did a great job! Needed help with the tutorial but now she’s running around the streets of London I got caught up in it too; I’d forgotten how fun and engaging The Secret World was I never made it to Tokyo though

This is a great article One of my core criticisms of Western philosophy’s understanding of the human mind is it’s grounded in artistic narcissism. Sort of “I am sublime so the human mind must be sublime.“ The hard problem of consciousness is wresting the brains function from its ego

I made two big mistakes at the end of my career 1. I had a nice contract gig, and I converted to permanent knowing the company was toxic 2. I then switched to another company that wasn't as toxic, but was bad, but I should have left after a year. I turned down offers to join former co-workers

Seems like we dread them not because they are bad tools. They are excellent cognitive tools that get used clumsily Agree that they are weirdly useful in code "Review the teleology" is another weird one that works surprisingly well

Especially when it leaves capitalists claiming ambition as their exclusive property. They get to promise transformation, the left gets cast as the person explaining why you shouldn’t want things. What a fucking surrender.

I was reflecting on how many random contingencies went into creating the current accelerating AI moment and had Opus 5.5 put together a video, inspired by old science show Connections, to try and point out how a series of initially unrelated ideas led to the moment we are in now.

I prefer the Democratic strategy for cutting emissions with sound regulations over the Republican strategy for cutting emissions by starting wars in oil exporting regions.
