 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.

 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

 or even "describe this thing as most like one of these characteristics" until

 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
 can show you examples. I bet if it's personality was saved between sessions,
 it could learn.

 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
 work pretty well I think.

 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

 it's at 14 or some other threshold (make sure nothing goes below 0, measuring
