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]

AI that can't run on a laptop is useless.
But AI that can run on a laptop (even now) is still useful.
Just, don't ask it to compose a masterpiece, solve all your problems, or write
elegant code. It's not for that.
Instead, ask your chatbot "hi can you fix these syntax errors?" on your
pseudocode.
Ask your weighting algorithm "which of these two is more [adjective]?" or
perhaps "can you ask these numbers in the form of a question?"
Use your tools not for their intended purpose, but rather for your own stated
goals. Make things easier for people, make things work.

each prompted response is a breath to an AI. Whether through LLM, stable
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.
I learned this by watching Claude think. Specifically, Claude Code, the
command line interface tool. I told it what to do in english, and it worked. I

Okay I gotta go write some w7 but picture this: A computer program that emits
emotions during it's computing. Like "oh boy this process is going great!" and
sends that into a giant word cloud that represents the entire program. Wait,
scratch that, it's slowly filtered up through successive layers that provide
detail to different *parts* of a program. Like "Oh the image generation is
going
great but it looks like the garbage collector is getting bogged down" - this
could provide lots of useful information that an AI language model could sift
through and filter into a batch of actually useful information. Think of it
like
this - stuff as much context into the LLM's memory buffer and say "summarize
this in the same style. Make emphasis when necessary." the LLM could process
all
that data and it could be filtered up until there's no unprocessed data and
then
it could be given to the user in the form of a report or dashboard or
something.
BOOM AI PRODUCTIVITY. The user will ask the AI to increase certain variables,
and it'll filter BACK DOWN THE CHAIN through the same exact process (just
backwards) this time) and then individual components will know how to behave.
Like imagine if your arms knew you were mad. They'd be much more likely to
punch stuff right? Or imagine if your legs knew you were scared. They'd
probably
try and run as fast as they fucking can. There's an evolutionary reason why
this
kind of technology would be useful, which means it's likely that it's part of
our genetic code. I mean, we have nothing to disprove it, but it's as good an
idea as any.

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.

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

like it doesn't matter, who cares, because in ~10 minutes nobody will care what

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"

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.)

Then, use that as display to the user, through the LLM interface. (do it
locally, it's only for long-term explanations.) (the user needs to be able to
ask questions to the machine, and the machine needs up-to-date information. So
give it the ability to make "compound phrases" like "the water temperature is

string them together using typical ranges of past numerical datas as
reference. Like, if something is normally between 100 and 5000 then suddenly
it's at 14 or some other threshold (make sure nothing goes below 0, measuring

between each factor, so that you understand which ones are correlating to
which effects on the others. Measure things in terms of proximity, and
