Humans don’t recall, we compress. Thousands of moments become a vibe: trustworthy, family, stranger. That’s intuition. Fast, lossy, powerful. LLMs aren’t there yet.

Imagine meeting someone and the only way to know who they are is replaying every moment of your life until you find a match. Horrible, right? That’s basically how LLMs do it.

Confused by that AGI chart showing LLMs still suck at “memory”? ChatGPT has memory, sure. But pulling stored facts ≠ human memory.

One thing the TikTok ban discourse has not included is that many TikTok creators privately do not like TikTok, which of course they’re not saying because none of us want it banned. It’s a brutal creative ecosystem that extracts from creators until they burnout and then they are replaced.

I guess I’ll have a lil more space in my bookshelf again now that I’ll get rid of anything written by Neil Gaiman, including the beautiful Sandman collector editions.

Right after the people that tragically lost their lives in the fires, probably the saddest outcome. A home in the US is an investment, and often the main one. That’s in stark contrast to a place like, say, Japan.

Did somebody already make a tool that auto blocks everyone forever that says LA deserved to burn? Asking, um, for a friend

Can’t agree more - is there a good alternative though? Was curious about that for a while, all other large aggregation wikis seem to have the same bad behavior

I’m at this point in my life where I’m so frustrated about the current state of web development that I’d rather write everything from scratch each time than to bother with bundling, transpiling, vdom etc. preserves my mental health.

Alright, I’ve finally given up on X. Here goes nothing! I’ll be geeking out about creators, fandom, new tech, games, film and culture here. Follow if that’s your jam :)
