open source projects may need to lock PRs to trusted folks. careless slop is sucking the life out of maintainers. we need better tools to talk to and onboard new contributors while interacting on issues. more friction could actually help new folks who care stand out, and let the community breathe

observing for no particular reason that you should be treating inference providers as dumb pipes because their only way to ramp up the extraction machine on you is to sell a product that you can't get out of

unlike social media, which is a mature technology, LLMs are not. we have a better opportunity to steer their direction in a way that might undo the effects of social media. but you have to start small and at points of leverage.

For my part, seeing AI catch up to my abilities in several domains has been painful. I feel a sense of loss. And I’m in a position where I have (a tiny bit of) leverage and control over the process. I can only imagine how painful it would be if I felt like it were completely out of my hands

When (not if) the Tech Monopolies come for the Atmosphere, can we create the institutional structures to protect what we have? Right now we're nowhere near ready. No company harmed the web more than Google, not even close, while claiming to help which many believed. What can we learn and how fast?

initial feelings on sol6 is negative, feels a lot dumber. this might actually be a good thing? similar to how i find it important to use worse models to stay familiar with the codebase. it is annoying though.

btw i think the reason i like magical sigils and worlds based around them is because magical sigils are actually real. you open up a satellite LNB and what you find is shapes wrought from metal to manipulate unseen forces. you can't tell me they're not magical sigils
picture of the inside of a satellite low-noise block downconverter (LNB), the circuit in the focal point of a satellite TV dish. this one's a rectangular metal case with inside of it a printed circuit board full of gold-plated traces. many have strange shapes you wouldn't find in other electronics. scientifically you might call them microstrip filters, but really they're nothing more than a well-understood magical rune

I'm going to start pitching myself as some kind of cybernetic epistemologist, because so many of the problems I'm seeing people have this year seem to amount to this: they do not not how they can know the answer to something, because they have no idea what they are trying to confirm or disconfirm.

Design, strategy, and software architecture all come from a strong point of view. They are values statements. It’s interesting that AI is currently bad at all three.

What if the "gut feeling" part is just as conscious as you are, with its own detailed reasoning for its decisions, but that feeling is the only way it can communicate.
