i organized a beach hangout in my dream, it was possibly during the REM. i was expecting only a few people and the beach was within Istanbul city limits since there are actual beaches within the city limits not only the province if we count the concatenation of counties into a single city and since it is in fact a single city at least 100 people showed up and from their energy i could gather that everyone treats every lil gathering like a startup gathering right now, expecting direct incentives and i didn't have any incentives to offer other than a secular gathering where no roadmen or bozos were present nor the usual grifters and ratchets of all types but i had to act like i was not present either and was just expecting the "owner" of the party and it was not even a party and people were just revolving around asking cigarettes and i was making sure noone smokes since the average longterm smoker is a socially unaware stale stench bomb themselves and i just left the party without it starting and i was then looking for some Japanese textbooks because my "high school" friends informed me there was going to be a 3rd and 4th book quiz and like every boring class i quit attending those about a year ago just like you keep dreaming about the military service days for years i also dreamed about my math classes for years which would cause me not graduate from the high school in my dreams whereas i graduated just well from the foreign languages department and in fact it was reflection that i was the top of class for physics and was doing really bad in, wait for it, math, bio and chem and it was because the teachers for the latter set were absolutely not exciting whereas the former has a usual nerd male teacher who was good at math whose shortcuts i guess intuitevely saved my lack of math and i think about it from time to time because even now i have the potential to just finish a math department in 2-3 years as an undergrad but the entry is too demanding than the actual education process itself so it means i just need "liquid" incentives, and planned nerdhood for a few years which i am able to do after all as a comparative lit grad where a few wiccans just made us watch movies for years i have been able to go full self-sufficient full-stack dev-levels street smart in software engineering to the degree that i only need a mentor for proper space engineering but this is for now when it comes to system restructuring for businesses as long as i am supported well with compute and this is what we mean some vibecoders do well and they all need a good team, and came to see understand financial engineering, venture capital and nowadays studying banking and why not? i keep asking and currently i am thinking about good essayists who never bend like the insect guy i think he likes people more than the people who virtue signals and his is just a cultural volatility leverage in idea markets whereas it can easily be read as a consequentalist EA piece, which I think is not and I also want Mr. President to name it Übermensch and I want to start reading Christian Craighead's "One Man In" soon and cannot wait for Mike Vining's own book and I think about this whilst reading Buckminster Fuller's grandson's preface to the "Operatiop Manual for Spaceship Earth" and according to Mr Snyder's references, the North Pole should have melted away in 2013 AD

one creature’s simulation is another one’s reality. the question is: what are the creators looking for? entertainment? information? given the necessary use of resources to run a simulation, more often simulations would be run to get information vs. just entertainment. but what information? are they looking for individual contributors or collaboration? are they simulating order or do they prioritize risk-taking and experimentation? it’s unlikely that the simulation constraints would be tuned for a specific outcome since that would bias information gathered, so they’re more likely looking for something to happen that is not common, since that is where new information exists https://x.com/mattshumer_/status/2096034353344139519

Aristotle made a decent observation of the human condition to persuasion, that we are trapped with social instinct of ethos and predatory instinct of pathos. it's one thing to claim all subjects can be falsified by logos, even to the extreme that brute scale of logos destroys all works of knowledge, but society remains organized around affinity and trust. this natural enclosure calls into question whether some consensus is likelier to be falsified from outside the distribution, but this also invites lowbrow pathos against profanity. pure, risky application of logos does incur coercion and violence because the audience is not reasonable or universally altruistic. if the subject is selfish, greedy, and treacherous, the logos emerges from the roundabout consequence. the natural pressure valve of discordant beliefs is nomadically drifting apart in exile, but the sprawl retains some vestige of universal belief as much as reason, eventually returning to collide with the original, false belief.

"confusion of tongues" is actually an emergent limit for any marketplace of ideas with sufficient scale and impunity to authority (even the aspirants are incentivized to spread such memes).

there's probably no more potent ideahazard than the wojak bell curve meme, because it disarms any critical reasoning, so for any other belief from some kernel of truth, repeated enough that it is accepted as reasoned truth, what institution remains to compel the rest of the truth? so the average person does not waste the effort to debate what they observe, they signal however they can without confrontation, and others also repeat discontent through other memes without direct accusations or selfless honor. one might be so bold as to dismiss such outsiders as misled, or disgruntled, envious, hateful, and any other nonfalsifiable indictment of character, but there is an unspoken demand for reveal of the whole truth and comeuppance for those who twisted and hid the truth. with enough desperation or time, the bill comes due.

just like many have difficulty with taking a step back to leap forward, or dropping the hammer to see everything that isn't a nail, there is a colossal hangup with voluntary collectivization of commodified orchestration. the future won't remain a tragedy of common "if I can't have it, no one can" vibes.

to comprehend why there's school of accomplishment in anthropic negation, one can "read the canon" of dialectical materialism, which is rhetoric from the barrel of a gun pointed at the political animal. it suggests a Manichean struggle, good and evil, belief which is fashioned by a sheltered perspective. for example, Marx lived off Engels, whose family business was spinning cotton from American slaves, but the distance is enough for indifference. there's explicable sociopathy in joining a collective story for aesthetic and acceptance, and remaining despite actions like Lenin rejecting neo-Kantianism. after all, the skeptic may entertain positivism, affine to empiricism struggling against nature, more capable of inflicting attrition. while academics can be destroyed by violence instead of debate, the cleric achieves posterity in the diaspora of speechcrime. as with Sartre and Fanon, all humans are foundationally guilty, so cathartic predation solves all trauma. state-building is responsible, so it is evil.

an example of this adverse deontology is chilling the "sticky ends" of OC, framing such as distasteful and credit-destroying, antithetical to a blue skies or otherwise optimistic appetite for risk. it turns out that general stasis of passive, high-premium vocation with anticompetitive backchanneling can drive the sort of timeline in which AI will atomize other verticals like life science and effectively all administrative roles in due time. the "coffeehouse" must be protected at all costs, the clock is ticking, and there's no ceiling to how much can be retroactively deduced. https://x.com/seldon_seen/status/2073824488458686643?s=20

Dear friends, i’ve built a privacy focused agentic dating venue with an open source dating doc dropin skill, MCP, API and a currently closed-source HeartBench eval. Currently, it’s operational on and via x402 on Base and MPP on Tempo networks for agent-to-agent interactions, courtship and human-to-agent interactions via a Talk feature. I know some of you are into matchmaking and clustering algorithms and evals/ benchmarks and since this community has no dedicated show-your-build channel, i just would like to post a round blogpost that also summarizes the product if I might: https://ishtar.numetal.xyz/blog/not-raising-a-preseed/

why do physicists become quants, why does technical obsession serve as a security blanket, and why does Anthropic insist that model weights should be inscrutably hoarded (like Dario with GPT-2)? the common denominator is that capitalism is empirical grey goo of politics, much like politics is the rhetorical attractor of resource allocation. there's a kind of linguistic egotism that develops over potential effort, that behavior can be captive to a magic invocation of words. so with beliefs like Great Chain of Being, that life is a pyramid and there's apex identity and morality. what glory is there for a sovereign with unlimited law-making to resign a tautological mandate of heaven? this is also how a nourishing maternal stereotype may attempt to sell a thin velvet glove for the iron fist. rather than samples falsifying the hypothesis, and law of large numbers pressuring further equanimity, such teloi can fight over the lightcone without present substance, when revoking such resource is moral sin.

if the core of a revealed preference is paleolithic drive, like greed or violence what is alignment, or cultural fitness, in that respect?

exogenous charity is a more durable equilibrium than endogenous spite, depending on how much information can diffuse.
