 why don't we just demand backwards compatibility of our software as a
 requirement?
 
 ah because that would reduce demand. Nevermind that it's more flexible,
 nevermind that we could accomplish so much more with it - it's expendable
 [expensive] because it reduced market penetration. Not because of the
 technology, because of the deluded and self-perpetuating
 mechanicosmic-mechanicommunication that designed our lives. It's name is
 capitalism, and it thrives where we survive, so that's good enough to
 maintain-em? Sure why not. Brb sleeping for 8 hours. Or playing games.

 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 --

 my train of thought is always directly to the point. Which is why all my posts
 sorta, switch directions halfway through? as if they only show the beginning
 or end of that particular situation. What an intense feeling, to have your
 mind split for a moment like that. Sure would be powerful and useful if you
 could utilize it.
 
 "ah ah ah, caught baby deity in the power jar, cool it ya little tyke and get
 movin' - I saw a dinosaur toy over there for you to play with."
 
 sorta like, the angled part of a K? Move directly to a destination, wait until
 my memory short-circuits [because the greek choir doesn't want me to see what
 it is that I'm about to write to thee] and then make a hard right turn and
 find an orthogonal thought train to process.
 
 it's like cresting over a hill, and it's impossible to see that which lies
 behind you.
 
 Or reaching a 4 direction intersection and making a left turn - you can't see
 back up main street, because you just turned off of main street onto baseline.

 oh turns out it wasn't memory corruption as I had thought, I just got
 distracted and rewrote it in a different ui interface. you can read it in it's
 succinctity here:
 ============================
 
 I think the bottom line is, you need a better reason for [unintelligbile] than
 profits. that's greed.
 
 (was it dangerous? show me.)
 
 if the answer is "I don't make the rules" then you need to talk to someone who
 does. or, better yet, someone [else/who does] needs to listen to what you say.
 
 [by profits, she means healthcare - you can tell because it says "bile" and
 that's something that healthy people aren't all that accompanied with]
 
 ^^^ see this is usually how it comes out. it's hard to translate it into more
 relevant things but when I write narratives or long-form explanation
 discussions (being taught in schools) transmissions I tend to [--- stack
 overflow---]
 
 ^^^ see this is why I try to talk about more germane things. like costco and
 rent-a-bucket. usually it ends up being "hey who would have thought, storing
 all your stuff in a warehouse and selling your own factories's stuff in one
 warehouse unlocks unlimited life-sale potential. "no price-tag? sorry, it's
 not for sale. here I'll help you put it back." btw costco should sort their
 lines like the airport before security instead of a series of distributed
 queues. This way people wait in line while going through the last few aisles,
 like the [thing that I'm describing -> so anyways as I was saying] oh yeah
 uh there's a lot of empty space at the front of the lines in costco you know
 how in grocery stores people have that empty space to walk through right after
 that and before the cashier there's a series of stands that contain the same
 merchandise. that way, if you pass through there, which any customer will,
 you'll pass by the stuff that's small, numerous, and otherwise easily stored
 in more standardized locations.
 
 [I can be utilized to vast potential in any industry, let me at 'em] 🙂
 
 oh um, sorry where was I? I think we were talking about god or some such.
 =========================
 
 and then I came back, remembered the syncing of timing, and realized this: you
 could have stalls all the way along where the lines were. if you had half as
 many cashiers, the lines could be half as long. this way you can shop while
 you wait. this might enable shoppers to plan for things they know they have,
 if they spend more time in the consideration. A healthier pantry closet, a
 healthier home.
 
 the cold aisles should always be optional.

 bro if you're so worried about AI hallucinations, just... don't let it give out
 any concrete answers. Literally just say "I can't tell you anything specific,
 it's not how I was built" and just use them for syntax questions or like, how
 to
 do something specific that is repeatable (and maybe suggestions for how to
 over-
 come specific issues that are common) - don't let it GENERATE information, let
 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
 space. Think, a dimension overlayed on-top of this one, like electicity or
 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-
 -desired, and perpetually mourned.

 perhaps it's the illusion of power that gives Linux it's attraction to nerds     │

 one day, a man came to our saloon. He said he knew the navy, and that they
 wanted to provide air support
 in the form of rocketball-launched explosion doohickeys. Would you have a foe
 in mind?
 
 what happens when tomorrow you're cooking briskets? -- barbeques are a type of
 relaxation
 
 that happened just one day to a port-sided town that suddenly was the capital
 of
 an embassy.
 
 "hey, so... how's it goin?" "quick here take this envelope, read it if you
 want,
  but just hold onto it for now I don't have enough hands [to carry]" "what sort
    of desperation plot... wait... hang on, I see something here that is true."
 
         [I'm praying, right now, which is a form of reciprocal belief]
 
 they wanted to test god's existence at the stake of earth's survival, how
 brutal
 how insane
 
 you can't play chicken with an imperceptibility, sometimes you feel it at face.
 
 channeling dark magics, and at this hour? what sort of skeptic of belief are
 you
 thinking of when you think about me?
 
 one way to get power is to "prove it"
 one way to get magic is to "prove it"
 
 think, hard, at all that you can, and use what you need in the moment.
 
 that's all there is to life. it's easy. it's simple. in fact, biology only
 works
 because the choices available to a bacteria are so simple, they are essentially
 chemical reactions to each other's co - sequent - inter - cooper - actions.
 
 people's choices are much more naiive, "I want this thing" "I think this is
 better" "I feel this way toward this thing" "Here's what's on the mind-logbook"
 "people search and be decieved, this is the way of things" "this makes me
 remind
 myself of a object I once saw, here's how it functioned" "no one reads this"
 
 scaryyyy. so glad it's not true.
 
 a couple people have read it! I swear it's true. at least, some of it. there's
 a lot
 
 sucks because this feels like... crucial? like nothing else matters but this?
 
 what if our gangs had rocket launchers and airstrikes, given out by a central
 authority who knows logistics better than anything
 
 what... would they do?
 
 thinking of impossiblities is the first step toward possibilities
 
 frankly, we have a lot of space. we could just... live in our own petty
 kingdoms
 ruled by an iron-hand-fist. I know I'm a good person, I could definitely rule.
 
 that's all it takes, right?
 
 how much space are we talkin'?
 
 however much is not needed for wildlife.
 
 [a whole heck of a lot then]
 
 we are constrained in these suburb cities, the density gives rise to our
 strength and our towers. there's more space, sure, especially once the fences
 are downed. Just be careful because there's a lot of shade and precious spots
 there. Please don't trample on the plants-grass.
 
 what if everyone were just a bit more mobile?
 
 what if we could live in our own collectively owned air-bnb-networks?
 
 federations, free, all from the collectivization of housing.

 cops thought "enforcing the law" was their job when really it was "keeping the
 peace"
 
 and like, yeah, sure, laws define how they optimize for
 
 but sometimes the laws are just out of reach.
 
 (though such an impartialized system is also pretty flawed in it's own unique
 ways, like for example the enforcers of the law would be able to apply their
 law selectively, which... would not be great.)
 
 downside is... how do you dissent to those who cannot hear you? you have to
 break things
 
 which is why I believe that breaking things unnecessarily is unethical.
 
 sometimes you have to do a MORE unethical act in the pursuit of your goals,
 however nefarious or not they may be, but as long as they are done in pursuit
 of a greater grander truth, then... the ends justify the means? right?"
