Been listening to this show and highly recommend it! It’s like If Books Could Kill if it were about the same book every episode, that book was a fanfic, and it also somehow explained why so many people in the AI world are the way they are

There is actually something really beautiful to me about the conversation emerging around AI and the reminder that the tasks we set for ourselves are not for their own sake, but for our own human growth, learning, understanding and flourishing.

Not mutually exclusive: - some ai risk people believe - some ai risk people believe but are falling prey to motivated reasoning and biases - some ai risk people are cynically taking advantage of the situation These aren’t monoliths. All of these things are true about some rapture believers too.

Feature idea for Bluesky/other frontends: only allow people to reply if they correctly answer a question that you write alongside the post. You can already restrict replies to a given list of users, so this would basically create a new list, use that, and add users to it if they get the right answer

I dream of a cultural shift so large that every copaganda TV show and movie is replaced by an equivalent work about a dogged government regulator chasing down issues with food, pharmaceutical, airline, traffic safety and financial crime. So basically Leverage but they aren’t thieves I guess

I’m the proud owner of a Scion xB. I had to get some repairs done recently that took a while. When I called for a progress update the mechanic said to me, verbatim, “ah yeah she’s a sweet ride”

I liked how in blockbuster every time you glanced at a video box for more than a second it would start playing the video on full volume over the PA whilst someone in a back room would click a clicker and mumble ‘one more view!’

I place a lot of value on viewpoint diversity (the real one) and on free speech (the real one). It sucks how both concepts have been hijacked to mean “everyone is under a moral obligation to elevate and disseminate discredited claims if today’s political right is into them.”

I have many theories of slop, but my current Theory of Slop is that what makes slop "slop" and not just "bad art" is that slop only ever aims to sate a desire created by past experiences of art rather than to create a new experience to be desired.

This is imo exactly right and also why any “productivity” measures/targets with AI need qualification. The first two types will output a lot, but it’s then very easy to point at projects in the third bucket and say they’re falling behind rather than they’re optimizing for different things

little atproto/bsky project I threw together over the weekend: SkyVault. I tend to like/save posts to read later and then can't find them because there's no search/filtering/sorting built into bsky natively. Demo here is rough but will work on some improvements if this is useful to anyone else

Read the guide and then had an idea immediately afterward. Two hour later, here's a draft of a new one-page RPG, Algorithmeter, and an example of me playing it. If you (like me) struggle with constantly scrolling social media feeds, maybe this will help - use them to write poetry/journal instead
The rules to a one-page RPG called Algorithmeter, where social media posts are used to construct found poetry.An example playthrough of Algorithmeter, including the words used, videos they were taken from, the resulting poem, and journaling about the poem
