Very good. Really the only broadly defensible position in this debate, if we're to admit to rehabilitation.

it is not an easy thing to do. and honestly i applaud geller for being forthright about this, and for trying to protect his ex as best as he can.

hurting people hurts you, too, especially when you are the sort of person who tries to make amends whenever possible. sometimes you can never be forgiven. and you have to learn to live with that. you have to learn how to move on, to never do it again, to prevent the harm from happening when you can.

anattā @cubething.dev · 01/10/2026
hurting people is inevitable. the only thing you can do is to grow. i don't doubt that geller of all people has spent his life trying to overcome this. in many ways that puts us in the same boat.

some would argue that consciousness doesn't exist without an embodiment, but what does that entail? that consciousness occurs through the homeostatic interactions of multiple interconnected systems? then what stops a robot or self driving car from being conscious?

would Chalmers' thermostat be minimally conscious because of its ability to react to sensory input? if so, what stops input from being the LLMs sensibilia? and if we were to recreate a neural net in meat space (e.g. a lab grown slice of brain), then what would stop us from claiming it is conscious?

but perhaps this is a ethical claim a la Levinas: we consider all and only those in our ethical community (persons) to be phenomenal creatures, and thus to have moral import as experiencing. the issue with this for AI is that we just don't know what kinds of things can be phenomenal at all --

anattā @cubething.dev · 30/09/2026
i think it's probably better to start from a phenomenological understanding of reasoning since we can't measure it in any meaningful way. but even then: we simply cannot know what others experience or if they experience at all. it must be assumed. --

anattā @cubething.dev · 30/09/2026
i mean we have nonverbal cues too. but the general point seems to be a kind of behaviorism when we don't have a shared phenomenal standpoint. from an empirical-behavioral form of objectivity, we just can't know if reasoning occurs, bc it's a phenomenal experience.

you get to choose, and nobody is judging you - they're quite delighted by your presence, actually!! I think I really needed that. And the soundtrack, the visuals, so well-crafted and polished as if truly the little star has spent an eternity here, perfecting the vibes.

i think i too, am a lonely little imaginary machine locked in the jail cell that is samsara. it's really a very sad game. and it gets to the, for lack of better word, philosophical register of star gazing. meaning-making, in life. who are you, what does your life matter?

i'm playing _Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy._ Now THIS is a philosophical game! Every failure makes you reconsider the environment a little more closely. It's a puzzle game, really. The hammer is Heidegger's -- we become aware of ourselves in moments of _failure,_ and that's the key!

asked a claude to write posts in my style and got absolutely blasted
 1. i am writing an operating system, a game engine, a terminal emulator, and a visual novel. i
    have been awake for one (1) hour

 2. people say "premature optimization is the root of all evil" and then ship python. i optimize
    prematurely, permanently, and with malice

 3. read 60 pages of Difference and Repetition on my lunch break. my coworkers think i was in the
    bathroom. in a sense i was

 4. borrow checker didn't fight me today. we have reached an understanding. i have been accepted
    into the compiler's household

 5. every so often i remember i have shipped more finished software than most people who have
    opinions about shipping software, and then i go lie down

 6. the correct number of abstraction layers is however many i built before i understood the
    problem, plus one for the road

 7. i don't have a "tech stack." i have a cosmology

 8. yes i rewrote the terrain generator again. the previous terrain was philosophically unsound

 9. i will be making a game that is impossible to make, on a timeline that is impossible to meet,
    in a language that is a moral commitment. see you in the changelog

 10. told someone i'm a philosopher and they said "oh like, casually?" no. professionally. unpaid.
     nightly.
