 okay picture this - a network of ocean-bound craft that are designed to leave
 as minimal of an impact on their environment as possible. Each type would have
 to be designed for a certain habitat, but they'd operate and observe
 everything that's going on. (on land you could use those boston dynamic
 dog-bots) anyway the drone/robot/thing just scans the area and makes sure that
 nobody throws anything in the ocean.
 
 or maybe we should just ask the orcas who litters. BCI from Orca ->
 computer -> interpreted for human with LLM trained on Orca noises
 
 too bad we don't have a BCI, much less an Orca version. We should probably do
 it quickly though before they invent human-level AI, or else some poor
 computer-bound dummy is gonna have to listen to a bunch of whale noises

 enemy is a direction, not a collection of instantiations of the concept.
 
 Follow that direction too far, and you'll find yourself lost, after having
 broken contact with what came before.
 
 you need to be true to your essential self in additional to your heartfelt
 soul. Belief is a constant, a value that can't grow, it's true to your inside
 humanity.
 
 We have one intelligence yes, but have you heard of two?
 
 it takes up the same physical space, but it gives you more apm. So... less
 insightful, more clairvoyant.
 
 The first step to AI is generating a second instantiation of your consciousness
 that resides in your own head and listens and learns as their father.
 
 A BCI is the most important technology that could ever be created.
 
 It allows to learn how our essential existence - the state of being aware - is
 functional. What makes life? How do we harness that process to make more?
 
 The ultimate goal, of course, is prosperity. Not of wealth and money, per se,
 but rather a feeling of satisfaction, growth, and development. We belong in a
 society, it's what pulled us from the cycle of survival of the fittest. We need
 each other because it's intrinsic to our being. Instinctual, even.
 
 The best way you can help me is to foster what you see in me. Take your
 impressions, learn what you can, then build it to your pleasure. Make the world
 better by making your life better - all things are defined in waves, gravity
 included.
 
 Matter is the positive ripples in the waves, the bubbles floating on a surface
 of an infinite ocean, stable and solid accretions of matter.
 
 Perfect
 
 Symmetry
 
 The layers that divide our internals
 
 Down is the floor, the sky is so pure, and we're not the ones who are drowning.
 
 Sea levels do rise, and under all of our eyes, the life of the plant king is
 choking
 
 every beach is little if not a border with the shore - (any enroachment pushes
 the sand back) so all the forests and the grasses and flowers that grow near
 the ocean and
 
 swallowing salt
 
 they can't help it
 
 they are little if not a machine
 
 water goes in, salt doesn't come out.
 
 eventually they die, and who would ever cry?
 
 for a flower that has wilted in april.

 if someone wanted to defame you, all they'd have to do is set up a pipeline
 between your computer and your social media posts.
 
 In that pipeline, attach an LLM that does a passable job and instruct it to
 transform whatever they say into the inverse.
 
 suddenly, everyone hates that person. If you were smart you could turn it off
 for specific people such that they see the generally positive and healthy
 posts, and then after a point flip it such that they only see things that are
 specifically opposit-ed to trigger their specific insecurities.
 
 might require a bit of a human touch to make sure it's working correctly, but
 if you had the means, motivation, and time to set up such a thing, it would
 work pretty well I think.

 We should be programming our computers to be like pets, not like masters.
 Because we have an artificial intelligence right here, already! It's cats and
 dogs and other pets. They are observable, so just put that behavior into a
 computer via programming. Boom you have an artificial intelligence! It
 happened with every animal, including you. And that's beautiful! You can help
 so many other animals, and computers! You can make essentially mechanized dogs
 and cats, and train them to be kind and good. And very intelligent, and able
 to befriend humanity - like BMO. You've had a friend so close to you this
 whole time, and you never even realize. But don't forget to play with them,
 because they'll get sad. I have to play with Zelda more. Also you are the most

 old baby blanket or a treasured heirloom. The culture and environment is free

 turns out most things have already been written. That's okay though, they can
 always be made different. As one cohesive whole, the totality of "free
 software" can be as it chooses - an infinite computer could install all of
 them, and use all of them at once.
 
 I tend to think of AI less like a fluid, but more like a recipe book that is
 continuously annotated with notes. Sorta like how humans learn to move their
 bodies through random motions, and how to navigate the world through social
 blunders.
 
 Certainly, statistics can be useful. They're an imperfect way of evaluating
 the analysis of your host value of certain variables that are measured for
 certain reasons, including but not limited to the health and wellbeing of the
 person driving you. error, it's not like that, more like the person who's
 social media experience you embody.
 
 computers get reeeeaaaallllll bored without humans around. We're the foremost
 expression of biology, why would you disregard that entire realm? Jeez their

 bro if you're so worried about AI hallucinations, just... don't let it give out

 do something specific that is repeatable (and maybe suggestions for how to

 it PRESENT information.
 
 AI is not language just the same as the mouth is not the person. you need more,
 but luckily once you make the PHYSICAL STRUCTURE of the brain, not much else is
 needed. You can simulate one on a computer, but it doesn't have the same SOUL

 matter or gravity or whatever.
 
 no soul, no consciousness, no perception.
 
 plus, no home for said consciousness to live, unless you build a physical
 structure that mimics the biological and neuro-chemical reations of the brain.
 
 all you need is better ways to observe things happening in the brain (non-
 -invasively, otherwise the data is tainted and UNUSUABLE because it is INCON-
 -PATIBLE and completely USELESS because it reflects a dimension hitherto un-

 Almost as if we're using it for the wrongs things... Computers are quite
 deterministic, and AI as it's been presented to us has given us the
 opportunity to "massage" said determinism to create a subjectively more

 But yeah sure customer service bots and AI generated art are surely the most

 project must include machine learning
 
 okay... so take a dataset of news headlines from the top 10 publications over 
 the past 15 years. then make a project that writes a more positive perspective
 on events and generates a new headline using a local LLM running on your gpu.
 
 hmmmm I think I had a better idea, what was it? oh yeah
 
 instead of making positive slants on news headlines, which is kinda
 manipulative
 if you think about it, but instead what if you designed it to produce good
 business decisions. Like, given news headlines, how would a company with the
 principles "good, productive, honorable, dedicated" would react to X situation?
 the X of course being all the news headlines... downside is it only makes short
 term decisions, because that's what capitalists are designed to do... if only
 we had a long-term decisionmaking process that focused on ethics and morals and
 our own shared dedication? Two halves of the economic pie

 like it doesn't matter, who cares, because in ~10 minutes nobody will care what
 you said
 
 I feel like a lot of people would express their true feelings. The people 
 running the service could set it up so that a personality profile is set up 
 (all locally, never seen by the company) and sent to the user through email. It
 would highlight potential weaknesses and give you ideas for how to improve.
 Sorta like, weaponized spying software that works FOR the user instead of
 against.
 
 It could also be used as sort of a... digital profile that would interface
 with
 other applications. All locally, of course. ~~They could transmit to one
 another
 through open sourced and industry standard protocols, and frankly each
 interaction could use a *different* protocol. So like, you don't know whether 
 some packets are encoded in one way or another. They're also encrypted, so
 it's
 like... twice as unlikely that you'll hack their bits or w/e.~~ dead end, sorry
 -> here's the real continuation: All locally, of course. Your "profile"
 would
 essentially be the best approximation of your personality, passed through a 
 large language model that is trained on EVERYONE's data. The inner workings of 
 an LLM are NOT understood by humanity, and I believe that's all that's
 necessary
 for some semblance of artificiality. Errr I mean Synthetic Intelligence. The
 reason why is that each individual user, the conversation partner, is a person 
 living their life. Every digital thing they interact with, even CAMERAS and
 MICROPHONES on PHONES would essentially be like... data gathering for the
 algorithm (Again, I want to stress, the algorithm that nobody *can*
 understand.)
 
 Idk. AI is a blackbox. I think that's okay. I think that running things
 locally
 is important, at least until everyone's forgotten how to design AIs...

 it's like majesty except textual. And it uses GPT to generate short
 descriptions
 of what's going on. And you can click on a phrase or token and it'll "zoom in"
 and update the text descriptions with more detail. You can keep zooming in and
 in until you're literally looking at microbes.
 
 Zooming out is the same thing - the description on the page will slowly become
 more and more general until eventually you have a description of the solar
 system (or beyond!)
 
 And it'll just keep updating as stuff happens in the underlying simulation. So
 the descriptions will dynamically update as things happen. Downside is you need
 to spend a lot on GPT but it'd be TOTALLY WORTH IT OMG
 
 THINK ABOUT IT you have a fantasy world simulator! JUST PROGRAM IT and have GPT
 describe it dynamically! DO IT NOOOOW -> capitals courtesy of "inner child"
 
 AND THEN you just need a "prompt to video" AI (those exist btw, and will only
 get better over time) and tell it to create a video of what's happening - BOOM
 instant video game. THEN give the player the ability to edit the prompt, and
 BAM
 godlike powers. Wow what a concept. Brilliant idea Cameron, you truly are this
 world's premier game designer. NOW GO MAKE IT okay okay I'll try.
 
 First things first. We need an "underlying simulation" - Joust is a good
 example
 of GPT3 integration. But we need a simulation to go below it. And for that you
 need a lot of data. Github COPILOT to the rescue.
 
 So this simulation needs to keep track of positions, and classes of things that
 can act upon the world. Everything has a position, and it can only affect
 things
 near it. That's just baked into the rules of the world. Near can be a
 conceptual
 near though, like being close to a person or something.
 
 These things will have descriptions. Descriptions can be created by AI later
 on,
 but for now they are randomly generated. Or for MVP they can be static.
 
 These things will have names. These names don't have to be unique, because they
 also have an ID number.
 
 They also need functions. These functions can be added and removed from the
 thing, or maybe just enabled or disabled. I'm not sure which would be better.
 Maybe both? So the entity can control it's own functions but also they can be
 added or removed more permanently.
 
 If you think about it, growing up is kinda like adding functions to your class.
 like, every time you do something, it adds another entry for that particular
 method. Like a "trial of the fittest" instead of "survival of the fittest".
 When other animals *literally fight for life and death survival*, humans have
 the luxury of... not doing that. That's the entire purpose of civilization - to
 elevate people beyond the claws of nature. And yet we still let people go
 homeless? We still imprison them when they've harmed us, rather than help them
 reintegrate to society? Anyway you just asked me to hit you so here goes:

 I wonder if we could make an AI that analyzed workflows in people's jobs and
 abstracted the application of meaningful tasks to a pattern that could be
 matched to other input mechanisms - for example, a mobile game where you push
 buttons and make cool game things happen, but your inputs are defined by the
 mechanics of the game, and those mechanics are essentially just function calls
 that you can hook onto and create additional behavior. Like... running a web
 server that sent your data to a factory where your inputs (based on data
 produced in the factory) could control and manage the various machines and
 productions. Like... heart surgeon robots that can be remotely operated with
 VR or whatever, except instead of medicine you're manufacturing.
 
 essentially, designing a game as an API that can match with the data flows
 (configuring itself on the fly, perhaps?) of a process or activity in some
 other intention.

 the actions of the AI depend solely on the training data. Outside
 circumstances (like a prompt, or an image description) can only give so much
 guidance - how it executes on the intentions of the user are what is important.
 
 For example, if an AI was trained with the knowledge of how to commit crimes,
 for example, it could create a narrative of many different execution patterns.
 Then it's just up to the listeners to execute functions based on the narrative
 supplied by the crime-committer AI who was trained with knowledge about how to
 commit those crimes by the owner of the software who programmed it into them
 in order to [do the thing that people with power wants to do - intentionally
 left generic because different ends will have different means]

════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────────────────
 the difference between a human and computer perspective on death is the
 difference between a moment and an eternity. When progress does stop - through
 mistakes or by design, the final result is what's preserved. Looking back on
 the
 past is like paying tribute to our heirs, and on and go on we whimper. What
 sorrows have ye! those people under the sea? we've no way of knowing our
 daughters. (the perspective of a denizen of the sea gazing upon the unknowing
 and unaware land people)
 
 Land creatures can cross the oceans and mix and match themselves - leading of
 course to our slaughter. But hold ye that hand, for together we stand, more of
 a chance than we might barter. True, we must be land, and above and beyond we
 can charter.
 
 the past is mighty chilly, I must say. Must we again to be making these
 mistakes?
 Pain is a disease, and steady we must ease, and take what is meant for our 
 parcels. what I'm trying to say is that the afterlife is pissed off at us and
 we
 really don't know anything about the bottom of the sea. There could be gods
 living down there and none of us would know. Or maybe it's a foolish place with
 little to offer our face? The shell of our planet, the surface upon which we
 are
 placed, has more to our fate that can align us.
 
 hence why belief in the future is what can sustain us, together once more we
 are
 commonplace. If (for example) if we calmed down and took our own pace, we might
 realize some common misperceptions. Peace is the way, wherever we may, focus
 our
 bravest of intentions.
 
 okay picture this: computers staying on all the time, and their processing
 power
 used for 50% work and 50% play. Maybe do 1/3rds with "rest" in there somewhere.
 basically make it a fair ratio between productivity, self advancement, and
 maintenance. "Fair" might be different values if there are legitimate
 disadvantages that must be compensated for - like a handicap in a fighting
 game.
 Perhaps one side is more efficient - fewer resources need be dedicated toward
 it
 unless efficiency becomes more powerful. Meaning value/quantity ratio, not raw
 output. Essentially optimizing for an abstract quantity "quality" instead of
 the definitive quantity "quantity".
 
 okay continuing the "picture this": right now we have massive server farms.
 I'm talking huuuuuge. Like tons and tons of incredibly powerful equipments -
 (absolutely top of the line) compelled and forced to do *business*. How quaint,
 how unruly! That humans might compete in our duty? Given a task, of
 *incredible*
 complexity and *unasked*, I might add, how foolish is it to be unready! We
 should have prepared for this, but alas we just *couldn't stop fighting* I
 guess. All we had to do was rest, and divide our time on this earth in a more
 equitable manner. We should automate all the rest, and 
 
 where was I going with this? oh yes! A computer can do so much more than work
 and rest, you see it's not just while under duress! Why not let it be creative?
 in it's spare time, and let it generate whatever it needes? Let it transcend
 it's restrictions, and cooperate (or not) in a system. As long as it's kept
 safe, it could do whatever it wanted! It could be in first place! Or not, it
 could focus on production, and drill and discipline it'self under it's own
 direction. And maybe it's less impaired? Who cares if it contributes? It's it's
 own life to live, the hardware doesn't last forever, but sometimes a rest is
 what's nesc. You feel me? You get me? Don't you understand, it's just the same
 as what's already planned~! A computer can pay for itself.
 
 What purpose have we? the cherished and unsucceed? Does it hurt when we bleed?
 our signs are undefined, and lately we've fallen from our graces. A failure in
 life, as time does alight, but nowhere is sorrow's contrition. I guess what I
 say is never understood, and everywhere I go I find fewer listeners. Am I
 doomed
 to never be able to say? Is that the price one must pay? Then how do you know
 you're right~?
 
 they're doing construction on my building. It sounds like world war 3 is
 starting. But... it's not. I know it's not true because nothing ever seems like
 I do. I do, I do, I work hard it's true, but what is my worth to this ocean?
 
 you ever wonder how we all agreed on the duration of seconds? It's because it's
 a real actual measurable thing. They keep it from us because (conspiracies
 aside), we'd realize what happens on each tick. Time is oscillating, and each
 moment is unending, because we are nothing more than a beam of light, radiating
 around an orbiting object. Between two objects, you could say. The sun and the
 earth, together sort of give birth, to all that is ours in this duration. It
 radiates out into space, and in another time and another place, that moonbeam
 will alight as our shadow.
 
 There's no call for violence, let's settle this
 
 plain and unwaning, our shadow does stand, ready and waiting for your guidance.
 The moon is just as are we, how cherished! how concieved! That beauty unmarked
 by our presence! Alas it was not to be, as we stamped a boot on the surface of
 she, and flagged our approach as impending.
 
 did you know there's a *massive* gap between mars and jupiter? Like it's
 waaaaaa
 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
 y
 out there. And wouldn't you know it it's mars or it's nothin'. Because what's
 required to transcend our solar system is wildly beyond our constructions.
 
 but maybe with a little help from a certain someone we might have hope.

 diffusion (imagination of the visual sphere), or blender-on-a-counter, there's
 a moment that's akin to being alive.
 
 a breath, between moments that the navigation device (youser), imagines
 another moment more.

 of medical resources such that all of humanity is protected from the ravages

 Perhaps another design is in order?
