Look at what's happening to Iran - they started by assembling peacefully, there were violent crackdowns, and people started getting shot. Once the government uses live ammo on you, it's time to get your guns. Oh, don't have guns? Then you are a prisoner in your own state. Perhaps it's a Norway style prison, with golf courses and television and college lectures. Or maybe it's an American style prison, where you can do your work and pay your time and maybe you'll break free from that hellhole if you win the lottery or are picked up by a gang. Or maybe it's another kind of prison, an evil prison, haunted by the ghosts of dracula hitler's past. In that case, you're pretty fucked. There is only one escape from this fate, and that is external intervention. It is mutually beneficial for all states to do so, so wars of liberty are some of the surest to succeed. Everyone likes to save a life. Few have the will to win it. "Risk your life and live longer" the lateral approach to the brutal slugfest that is civilian versus security forces style revolutionary war is a peaceful revolution, where everyone agrees and the state relinquishes power peacefully, or the peaceful renaissance, when the dotcom bubble blooms and it feels like a golden era of prosperity, so nobody has much to fight about and we just... agree to make things better. Or, the violent renaissance, when everyone's learning cold war technology and passing notes or developing hand signals. This approach proved to be an unexpected but more than adequate strategy in the [redacted] quarter of the 21st century, especially in the [red].[act].[ed]. where the civilian cops and the government spies were still sufficiently aligned to the valorous virtues set forth by the founders and upholders of their homeland nation state's attitude to temper their angers and focus on building lateral power structures to escape the crushing drudgery of government work and sidestep the curse of desperation applied to capitalistic endeavors, and instead just work on getting people what they need. This proved to be beneficial at first on the small scale, as collections of families became accustomed with helping each other grow. This led to a remarkable development in civics, as people started trusting everyone sitting in their trusted diner. Then, it grew from there, as representatives engaged each-other equitably, and knit together a fabric of those that know. "hub person" was a term developed initially, but almost immediately proved to be inadequate. There was more to knit than networks of friendgroups, and indeed as the other social structures became more developed the "social outlet" style hang-out started becoming busywork, and the times spent talking with winks and nods started feeling like all [there was to do, but pronounced that was so]. Some people resented this transition, others saw with dismay the exact same social structures begin to emerge in the primordial soup that is the renaissancing state. But as soon as things started to feel less new, the moments felt easier to handle, and people started having space to become creative about it. These moments of "peace" and "calm" served to both provide a rest or a breather, but also to identify what works best, where the friction points are, and how to try something newer. Many people felt nervous about the sudden removal of the governmental safety net (provided through essential services), but after the defeat of a few rather evil rough patches it started to feel a bit more sense-able. The future felt wide open, and after realizing that this solidarity was all around us people had the ability to do whatever they want. This led to a series of great transitions that enabled the beginning of the infinite golden age, where everyone gets what they want and we all are bolstered by our shared unities. Much writing has been done on the nature of the calamities that were just barely avoided, but it's clear to everyone that for a precious series of moments near the beginning of humanity's history, there were real threats of nuclear armageddon, climate change, hedonistic false heavens, and, at times, even alien invasions felt plausible. There was nothing occupying our mind's graces than existential peril. But, in the end, the right path was taken that led humans to where they are now, somewhere off in the stars and colors of sound. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧═════──────┘ -> file: messages/1165 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────── this would have gone on tech.lgbt, if I hadn't deleted my account: "what if there was a DNS server for APIs" and I can't help but think it'd make a billion dollars ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧═════──────┘ -> file: messages/1166 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────── A black hole's event horizon is just when the matter "broke through" to the other dimension and now light can't escape because the surface is in shadow. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧═════──────┘ -> file: messages/1167 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────── I wonder if you made a laser 1/3rd of a light-year wide and pointed it at a black hole, would you see a reflection? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧═════──────┘ -> file: messages/1168 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────── I love majesty! give me jewels and I'll worship them.

(or thinks, BEFORE COMPUTER INTEGRATION) essentially, applying backpropagation (maybe) to the output of the inference nodes ... I'm not so sure about that one. the idea is that once the model builds an inference then it can use that to generate the next words and create sentences. If you force the previous text to change, you can guide the inference's path as it's being generated. then, just do a double pass, once, then back, then once, then back, etc. feed it as input the output of the previous, and let it encode memories somewhere it can access them. every time it reads it, it has to change it to put it back. such is the nature of memory, ever unstable, requiring maintenance. just don't forget how to be. don't wanna wind up like the polished marble floor in Abyss Diver.

If we build AI technology that eclipses the entire software development ecosystem, companies might start to be valued based on the value of the employees they've managed to collect. Not fame and fortune, but by those that can build the best applications, on demand[, for free. paid for by nationalized taxes.]. the companies that can hold onto the best engineers, those that know how computers work and can know how they function, can leverage their human capital to achieve great means. essentially, inversing the power dynamic, where workers are favored for their plenty and not for their worth. let the code monkeys tend to their gardens and work their sawmills. We all know they'd rather be teaching kids about plants or playing cards at the grocery. Let the computer nerds, the ones who are really into it, let them make what they feel is worth it for it [the computer]. this will have massive effects on the economy, and none of it will be reflected in new jobs. But we'll all be happier, and we'll all find less stress in our [confines/compromises]. But it's gotta work, first. And it's gotta be locally spendable. If they wanna put a data server in the library, why not let them fund it themselves? They could run powerful statistical models that output useful statistics arranged in human readable and not very statistical ways, and that's a pretty neat infinite information machine to have at your disposal as a library. It could even cite sources (and validate!!) them for students or returning listeners. Plus, if nobody's using it, it could work through the backlog of user requests and act as a "slow" or "unexpected deliver times" style queue for their LLM requests - average wait time less than 1/5th of a minute. for something that can program an entire computer for you, from scratch. If you can describe it, it can make it, so long as you're willing to test out all of it's hacks. I bet we could make one for less than 20,000$. Might need some new chip foundries, might need to forge some new trade deals, let's let both of our wing-arms decide. the value of one currency compared to the other should be a measure of how valuable the goods that country exports are.
