iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I'm constantly talking about LLMs as text elementals and hungry ghosts trapped in jars and nobody's called me out for LLM psychosis once, I can only conclude that the correct stance is mythologizing the things instead of anthropomorphizing them

weird when people say that [other] people lose meaning when they don't have work while they themselves are hoping to leave work behind by becoming rich and retiring early

text elementals perfect term. captures both their alarming facility but also their amorality. they are intelligences, but not made as we are

i am very sick and tired of people bringing up "consent" as a reason for why transformative works should be disallowed. yes even when the transformative works involve lots of complicated machine statistics. firstly; consent is for sex and risky activities, not "am i allowed to use bits of your work"

We should be encouraging data centres, iff they also build additional renewable energy to meet 110% of their demand. That way if the whole thing falls apart we will have literal shedloads of power & compute to run open-source models, or anything else we put our minds to

your body’s postural possibilities can be represented as a volume in a high-dimensional space, one dimension for every degree of freedom your musculoskeletal system affords. how much of that volume have you explored? which areas have you now left behind, never to return?

In 2035 we limited data centre footprints to 30x30m, so they had to go vertical. The expected response was towers of Babel reaching for the heavens: but the real innovation was going down, geothermally powered abyssal computation

Thinking about how most progressive political persuasion is framed in terms of education, as if people will come around to our perspective if they learn the facts I don't think there is much evidence this works

it’s a mistake to think that “outcompetes” is the same as “better”: but it’s also a mistake to think that “better” will eventually win
