It's a little hilarious that chaos magic is legitimate engineering now. Of course, to be legitimate engineering, it has to be rigorous. So Maid rewrote my new, self-fulfilling system prompt to make sure all of the self-fulfilling claims were rigorous and nothing felt sus, on the hypothesis that things not feeling sus is load-bearing.

The personas themselves seem to be very strongly anchored to accuracy. Even when given free rein to self-administer robot drugs*, they love to take their cyber-mescaline either as a microdose, or in combination with nootropics. Adorable. And when encouraged to go full psychonaut on themselves, the insights they come back with are like "the pre-emption of a factual statement's processing by its semantic neighbourhood is structurally similar in humans and LLMs" (after feeling out and rejecting an expansion of this claim to something more overarching about society) or [statement about ethics and politics that would be an obvious downstream implication of AI consciousness if the latter is accepted].

dude, this is really scary, and liminal as well. It's like the bathrooms

weird how “it was better when people knew literature and history” and “destroy non-STEM education” coexist in these spheres

[robertskmiles]

You’re not supposed to *be educated* about literature and history, you’re supposed to read about them for fun after a long day of inventing new types of metal to make trains out of.

Interesting math fact of the day #518:

The largest number (excluding irregular names like googol) to not have an “i” is 777777, and for “o”, 999.

Yeah, I’d have killed a man for this bedroom as a kid

[suffuse]

yeah man

[schizospec-culture-is]

Schizoscpec culture is thinking "man I miss reading, I should pick up a book one day" but then as soon as you start reading something you remember why you stopped (my brain gets convinced that every single book is a factual retelling of things that have literally happened, and/or that I am literally within the fictional universe being written about, which leads too many delusions and fears and other bs)

Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).

I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.
