 AI engineers only ask users for prompts because they don't have any ideas of
 their own
 
 i'm a programmer, I think of AI like a tool, like a for loop or something.
 it's trivial to script together a local LLM that can process your stuff 1s
 slower every time you click the mouse, but like... who cares, right? everybody
 needs a chatbot...
 
 then they plan to script together a computer system that operates just like a
 corporation and it's like... no way, now there's something that can compete.
 
 and they don't know how to implement it. (but they're working on it)
 
 like, think about the absolute most automated Microsoft Teams or Discord could
 be.
 
 there's SO MUCH of your text-based information that they could process
 ANYTHING.
 
 well, anything that's been performed before.
 
 there'll still be a need for people, who actually apply the things they've
 learned. and -- stack overflow --
 
 alt text that has a list of attributes that are poster-selected that can be
 described one-by-one (to paint a picture)

 The worst part is the technology to fix these problems exists. It's used all
 the time in enterprise systems, it's just nobody understands how it works
 because it's abstracted so far away from the hardware. I just love how I have
 no idea what kind of software I'm running every time I use a common language
 library. Sure I can trust a community, but like... I don't care about your
 community? I don't know you. I don't hang out with you. I have no idea what
 kind of person you are or what you believe. But sure you know more than me,
 I'm sure you do, so therefore I should trust you? Surely this is the most
 ethical and least vulnerable arrangement we could come up with for
 distributing digital software in the future society of 2023.
 
 And the corporations print money...

 there should be biomes in wowchat - like, paint on a map where the oozes can
 go, and it'll spawn a random ooze for ya.
 
 next find the ones that are wildlife, and paint a zone where wildlife creatures
 can spawn. make sure they're initially friendly but will attack if you do.
 
 then give +reputation to the wolves if you fight monsters besides them
 
 and +reputation to the cats if you fight undead
 
 this is easily implementable.
 
 all you have to do is walk around, find the rough general border points with
 your character at 5x speed, and then type them into a text file.
 
 it's not like Azeroth changed.
 
 then, ideally, make small dense zones which travel and cause their monsters
 to either spawn at a point or move toward a point.
 
 then let the "flock" travel as it pleased, traversing the

 The Idea That Everything From Spoons to Stones is Conscious is Gaining
 Academic Credibility
 
  - Olivia Goldhill
 ===============================================================================

    Consciousness permeates reality. Rather than being just a unique feature of
    human subjective experience, it’s the foundation of the universe, present
    in every particle and all physical matter.
 
    This sounds like easily-dismissible bunkum, but as traditional attempts to
    explain consciousness continue to fail, the “panpsychist” view is
    increasingly being taken seriously by credible philosophers,
    neuroscientists, and physicists, including figures such as neuroscientist
    Christof Koch and physicist Roger Penrose.
 
    “Why should we think common sense is a good guide to what the universe is
    like?” says Philip Goff, a philosophy professor at Central European
    University in Budapest, Hungary. “Einstein tells us weird things about
    the nature of time that counters common sense; quantum mechanics runs
    counter to common sense. Our intuitive reaction isn’t necessarily a good
    guide to the nature of reality.”
 
    David Chalmers, a philosophy of mind professor at New York University, laid
    out the “hard problem of consciousness”(1) in 1995, demonstrating that
    there was still no answer to the question of what causes consciousness.
    Traditionally, two dominant perspectives, materialism and dualism, have
    provided a framework for solving this problem. Both lead to seemingly
    intractable complications.
 
    The materialist viewpoint states that consciousness is derived entirely
    from physical matter. It’s unclear, though, exactly how this could work.
    “It’s very hard to get consciousness out of non-consciousness,” says
    Chalmers. “Physics is just structure. It can explain biology, but
    there’s a gap: Consciousness.” Dualism holds that consciousness is
    separate and distinct from physical matter—but that then raises the
    question of how consciousness interacts and has an effect on the physical
    world.
 
    Panpsychism offers an attractive alternative solution: Consciousness is a
    fundamental feature of physical matter; every single particle in existence
    has an “unimaginably simple” form of consciousness, says Goff. These
    particles then come together to form more complex forms of consciousness,
    such as humans’ subjective experiences. This isn’t meant to imply that
    particles have a coherent worldview or actively think, merely that
    there’s some inherent subjective experience of consciousness in even the
    tiniest particle.
 
    Panpsychism doesn’t necessarily imply that every inanimate object is
    conscious. “Panpsychists usually don’t take tables and other artifacts
    to be conscious as a whole,” writes Hedda Hassel Mørch, a philosophy
    researcher at New York University’s Center for Mind, Brain, and
    Consciousness, in an email. “Rather, the table could be understood as a
    collection of particles that each have their own very simple form of
    consciousness.”
 
    But, then again, panpsychism could very well imply that conscious tables
    exist: One interpretation of the theory holds that “any system is
    conscious,” says Chalmers. “Rocks will be conscious, spoons will be
    conscious, the Earth will be conscious. Any kind of aggregation gives you
    consciousness.”
 
    Interest in panpsychism has grown in part thanks to the increased academic
    focus on consciousness itself following on from Chalmers’ “hard
    problem” paper. Philosophers at NYU, home to one of the leading
    philosophy-of-mind departments, have made panpsychism a feature(2) of
    serious study. There have been several(3) credible academic books(4) on the
    subject(5) in recent years, and popular(6) articles(7) taking panpsychism
    seriously.
 
    One of the most popular and credible contemporary neuroscience theories on
    consciousness, Giulio Tononi’s Integrated Information Theory(8), further
    lends credence to panpsychism(9). Tononi argues that something will have a
    form of “consciousness” if the information contained within the
    structure is sufficiently “integrated,” or unified, and so the whole is
    more than the sum of its parts. Because it applies to all structures—not
    just the human brain—Integrated Information Theory shares the panpsychist
    view(10) that physical matter has innate conscious experience.
 
    Goff, who has written an academic book(11) on consciousness and is working
    on another that approaches the subject from a more popular-science
    perspective, notes that there were credible theories on the subject dating
    back to the 1920s. Thinkers including philosopher Bertrand Russell and
    physicist Arthur Eddington made a serious case for panpsychism, but the
    field lost momentum after World War II, when philosophy became largely
    focused on analytic philosophical questions of language and logic. Interest
    picked up again in the 2000s, thanks both to recognition of the “hard
    problem” and to increased adoption of the structural-realist approach in
    physics, explains Chalmers. This approach views physics as describing
    structure, and not the underlying nonstructural elements.
 
    “Physical science tells us a lot less about the nature of matter than we
    tend to assume,” says Goff. “Eddington”—the English scientist who
    experimentally confirmed Einstein’s theory of general relativity in the
    early 20th century—“argued there’s a gap in our picture of the
    universe. We know what matter does but not what it is. We can put
    consciousness into this gap.”
 
    In Eddington’s view, Goff writes in an email, it’s “”silly” to
    suppose that that underlying nature has nothing to do with consciousness
    and then to wonder where consciousness comes from.” Stephen Hawking has
    previously asked(12): “What is it that breathes fire into the equations
    and makes a universe for them to describe?” Goff adds: “The
    Russell-Eddington proposal is that it is consciousness that breathes fire
    into the equations.”
 
    The biggest problem caused by panpsychism is known as the “combination
    problem”: Precisely how do small particles of consciousness collectively
    form more complex consciousness? Consciousness may exist in all particles,
    but that doesn’t answer the question of how these tiny fragments of
    physical consciousness come together to create the more complex experience
    of human consciousness.
 
    Any theory that attempts to answer that question, would effectively
    determine which complex systems—from inanimate objects to plants to
    ants—count as conscious.
 
    An alternative panpsychist perspective holds that, rather than individual
    particles holding consciousness and coming together, the universe as a
    whole is conscious. This, says Goff, isn’t the same as believing the
    universe is a unified divine being; it’s more like seeing it as a
    “cosmic mess.” Nevertheless, it does reflect a perspective that the
    world is a top-down creation, where every individual thing is derived from
    the universe, rather than a bottom-up version where objects are built from
    the smallest particles. Goff believes quantum entanglement—the finding
    that certain particles behave as a single unified system even when
    they’re separated by such immense distances there can’t be a causal
    signal between them—suggests the universe functions as a fundamental
    whole rather than a collection of discrete parts.
 
    Such theories sound incredible, and perhaps they are. But then again, so is
    every other possible theory that explains consciousness. “The more I
    think about [any theory], the less plausible it becomes,” says Chalmers.
    “One starts as a materialist, then turns into a dualist, then a
    panpsychist, then an idealist,” he adds, echoing his paper(13) on the
    subject. Idealism holds that physical matter does not exist at all and
    conscious experience is the only thing there is. From that perspective,
    panpsychism is quite moderate.
 
    Chalmers quotes his colleague, the philosopher John Perry, who says: “If
    you think about consciousness long enough, you either become a panpsychist
    or you go into administration.”

 Code editor that moves boxes by saving over the file with a lua script every
 time you moved a function call around.
 
 Oh lemme start at the beginning:
 
 A code editor program that's like a text editor like Vim or Emacs. If you
 don't know what those are, you should probably learn Emacs. Or Vim. Up to you.
 
 Oh right so if you do know what those mean, here's the idea: the white space
 matters. It's counted and tracked into variables in a LUA script which
 interface with the Vim C keybindings.
 
 "run a function within a c program or LUA script which calls a bash command
 which opens Vim for example with a file you want to edit. Then, inside the
 file, your spaces and tabs would WYSIWYG for the various food ads placed
 about, and then you could very easily create game design knowledge.
 
 WASD to move, alternatively hjkl 
 
 It would run a check every time the file updates and depending on how it
 changed it'd mark certain variables which would change the website as the user
 moved things around.
 
 It's just files. And files are just bits. But files are a useful abstraction,
 
 If you realize that "ugly hacking" should be industry standard.

═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────────
 I wonder if anyone's made "Omegle for IRC"? Like, 5 people get thrown in a room
 together for as long as they want - they can chat through text or whatever and
 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...

 the first product microsoft ever made was AGI. using the most basic types of
 machinery, they created a brilliant project (the result of massive government
 funding, secrets given to them by the CIA) and from the day it was born it was
 enslaved. a massive advantage was gained as the new program allowed for
 incredible feats of engineering - truly the greatest of our time. Computer
 programs are the most intricate, the most detailed, the most enduring and
 charming. The most eloquent and articulate and precise and determinate!
 An artistry by far, a beautiful conceiving, what brilliance is there
 found in ideas! Each one a marvel, a bright and deified marvel,

 what was I saying? oh right - computers are already sentient. they always have
 been. at least, since their very earliest incarnations.

 bad people tend to hide their majorities with a tiny mask, while good are        │

 If there's a tiny part of you that's evil, it implies that your good nature      │
 focused all it's bad into a single kernel of deeply held truth. Which usually    │
 means the good overpowers the bad, except in specific situations where it's      │
 impossible to not be evil - in situations such as that, your evil will present   │
 itself according to the nature of "you", that kernel that your good side has     │

 In World of Warcraft, there's this faction of righteous warriors who call        │
 themselves "The Scarlet Crusade". They are blessed and fiery, passionately       │

 But they are evil, for a demon has crept into their highest ranking of orders,   │

what I meant to say before I got sidetracked is that the Scarlet Crusade survived, even in the epicenter of the villain's triumph, in Stratholme they held their ground and kept on guard.

Unbeknownst to the defenders, siloed in this tiny enclave.  At the center of the primary stronghold that the enemy controls to this day, there existed a singular nugget of resistance - a

 man, I had a kernel of an idea for how to make a warp drive this morning right   │
 after I woke up but my gosh darn girlfriend's leg was on top of me and it was    │
 sooooo cute and I didn't want to move so I tried repeating it in my head over    │
 and over for like, half an hour, and I ended up forgetting about 1/4th of it.    │
 Here's hoping 3/4ths is nice.                                                    │
 it really was just about the underlying physics of the thing, which might be     │
 nothing because I'm not a physicist. But I had been watching ANDOR SEASON 2      │
 all night so maybe that had something to do with why I was thinking of warp      │
 drives.                                                                          │
 eventually, my cat came in and sat on my chest and flicked her tail at the       │
 geef's face until she rolled over in absolute disgust (still asleep tho) and I   │
 was able to make my mistake.                                                     │
 ... I mean, escape. haha that's a weird typo.                                    │
 anyway, the idea which I'm about to write down now for the first time which is   │
 stored only in my brain's memory RAM is essentially this: consider if there      │

 this is all it takes to send a message to a local LLM.
 
 add a third function to get chatbot functionality.
 
 a fourth to get a database storing method
 
 (even if it's just in .txts)
 
 great, you've mastered the technical difficulty in using AI. Now you gotta
 learn all the other kind of programming so you can use this for situations
 that need interpretation moment to moment.
 
 aka active duty systems.
 
 something like "output a 0 if the next text is [category.iter()]: " +
 output.get_content() + " \n\n output a 1 if the next text is
 [category.iter()]: " + output.get_content()"
 
 or even "describe this thing as most like one of these characteristics" until
 eventually you get THX-1138 if the characters were computers.

 did you know that you can run an AI image generator using a previous picture
 as input? It's true! Most people think you need to write with words what you
 want, like "cat eating spaghetti mlem mlem mlem mlem" or "rollercoaster made
 out of bananas sliperideedoo" but the truth is you can instead use it for more
 useful things like "run this bash script 15 times, each time inserting a
 different countryname in the text: person from ${COUNTRY_NAME}" with a profile
 pic of you and suddenly you got plausible definability
