good luck getting it there on one of Musk's dogcrap starships lol

ok here is my prediction. A fun little hyperstitional prophecy. I think whenever Amerikkka inevitably crumbles in the future some of the last fascists will really try to make an American government-in-exile on the moon like all those joke sci-fi Nazi stories/conspiracies.

that title is pure parenti-hands

I think i'm going to try that because I hate dealing with C build systems. Also cause I want to try writing OpenCL programs

Amerikkka, very famous for not punishing whistleblowers

yay now I can load my ghost in the shell

what free time lol, capitalists will just make you do more work in the time you gained by being more productive. you will never "get back" that time until all the capitalists are gone. Of course, since CEOs jobs are easily replaceable with a basic AI, it's clear they'll get more time to look at . But not the average prole, no.

I love when some tech CEO mouths off about superintelligence and it's the same half-broken chatbot crap theyve been shoving into everything.

"If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him"; but Its invention is the apotheosis of a Speak-n-Spell.

 

Article on LLMs that I found that I thought was pretty good.

Another very important link between Derrida and LLMs is Charles de Saussure's version of semiotics, which became modern linguistics. An important concept in Saussure's semiotics was the arbitrariness of symbols - that their relationship to concepts was only one of convention (modern thought on this is that it there's a gradation between arbitrariness and iconicity, or how closely the form of the sign resembles its referent). But Derrida's trace extends even beyond language too. The meaning of the langue results from its interplay with signs of perceptual reality, and is only grounded as such. Even a multi-modal LLM has no such grounding by its separation from the causality of its input and its lack of ability to interpret the causation of its own sign production (since it is by design a feed forward model)

The absent referent is of course the sign-interpreter, and its unspoken role as an organism, such that its production of signs constitutes an act of allorhesis allowing it to maintain itself as a living process. The LLM is fundamentally constructed as a machine, an object, where the selection of signs has no bearing (to a large extent) on its future developmental trajectory in a dynamic, ever present, and mostly consistent reality. Removed from this agency and this crucial dialectical interaction, it can never become anything other than a fragmentary and hallucinatory map of an increasingly fragmented and hallucinated world. Conversely, these hallucinated signs have themselves started to infect the perceptual reality of the users, with sycophantic models driving people into psychosis.

i made my weekly batch of beans and this time i went with pinto beans, which i havent made before, and green chilis. I opted to skip any meat as I'm short on cash (and also havent found things like TVP at my local grocers yet). They turned out ok, like they dont taste bad, but theyre missing something and I dont know what. The word I keep thinking of is bass but i dont really know what i mean by that foodwise. Umami?? How do I add more bass to my beans? mushrooms?

ingredients i used:
pinto beans
green chilis + onion + garlic
oregano, cumin, some chili powder, garlic powder, s&p
cooked in faux-chicken stock
