Just a bit, to see how and why we get along. Did you know most people are generally pretty reasonable? Many people are stupid. Many people are brilliant. The average is pretty great, actually. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧═══════════┘ -> file: notes/one-mans-trash ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─ They say people don't change, yet I am continually fundamentally different.

Sorry. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧═══════════┘ -> file: notes/the-promise-of-ai ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─ the promise of ai is that the average person might one day immediately find that they are as good at programming a computer as anyone alive. in star wars, at one point, they killed all the scientists, so they forgot crucial lessons. this is why their computers look like they're from 200 months before midnight eighty ... whatever that means. it's a translation. (some guy shrugs at another) ... I bet a computer that perfectly knows itself could perfectly build onto itself --- if I know you have a problem, then I can help you with your problem. when I stay all alone, it means I'm at home. where I typically am. no problems to solve there. never stops programming... --- family bank accounts, so the children can financially plan "I want to invest in this company" "I want to buy a warehouse to hold bears" "can we buy a bunch of these? holds up gold bars" "honey where did you get those" --- all those people taking bullets for me, and suddenly that's the end for posterity gee why didn't I think of that --- literally all you had to do was just lock me in how many times more?

NOT IDEAL. yeah but they need a reason to punish you for not showing up to their party if you want a reason to write me out... make it so much better for the good guys that's the only reason I'd give in. Do a better job than me and sure. fine. whatever. the cowards are cursed with survivor guilt because they weren't there to die too everyone still gets enslaved, it sucks. I hate all of that so bad it makes me nuts. I hurt all in my guts. because of that stupid such-and-such. this is how you win. you ruin your enemies for your allies. uh question I thought it was wear out your enemy's logistics over time? yeah but then your logistics are gone, dummy. don't forget we're winning this time I don't mind camping I've done it all my life oh angel of mercy, please, assuage me, will it turn out merciful towards the end? notes from the battlefield... ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧═══════════┘ -> file: notes/anarchist-programs ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─ I'm writing anarchist computer programs.
