--- #6 notes/purpose-of-your-design ---
═══════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────────────────
 you were designed to fill a purpose
 nothing else would do
 you are the ultimate expression of intention
 of the universe that came before you
 
 dream not of those lost hours
 the time spent wishing for a few
 the last of our spent intuitions
 are waiting at last for our spark
 
 have you ever played a deckbuilding game? It's a pretty neat genre. You start
 with a basic hand, then you use your cards to buy more cards that go into a
 deck. Hence, deckbuilding game.
 
 these cards all have different aspirations - they perform functions that are
 not
 quite like their peers. Each choice of what to include here is one that defines
 the functionality of the deck. Like designing a machine, suited for a
 particular
 purpose, and faced with different obstacles it must prove itself able to adapt
 
 long-form deckbuilding games like Slay the Spire and Monster Train are focused
 on making long-term meta strategy mixed with tests as you go. Each one will
 give
 you information about how the deck is performing and you can use this knowledge
 to build it in a certain way for certain goals.
 
 shorter deckbuilding games like Star Realms or Dominion (note Dominion the card
 game, not Dominions 5: The Warriors of the Faith) are more about making
 tactical
 decisions to counter an opponent doing the same thing. Often there'll be health
 points and damage that can be dealt using cards, and the game becomes a race to
 reach a certain amount of points. Of course the enemy's cards can influence
 that
 game, so you must pick and choose a deck that will perform the most.
 
 Anyway. I think an AGI (Autonomous General Intelligence) would most likely
 evolve from a game-playing AI. I mean, it makes sense - games are just a series
 of problem solving activities layered one after another. You can layer them
 like
 a mathematical equation, with variables corresponding to other parts of the
 simulation. Basically create an AI that is like the guy with the chinese
 typewriter. He doesn't speak chinese but he copies things from one paper to
 another or something like that. Anyway make it an algorithm that optimizes
 certain graphs in certain directions / mins and maxes or w/e criteria you want.
 Then give it the same controls that a player would have and let it optimize
 all the measurements it can make.
 
 A second ideal improvement you could make would be the optimization algorithm.
 Basically something that dynamically generates parameters for the previously
 mentioned optimization patterns - like the guy in the chinese room. Then, as
 long as it correctly prioritizes it's parameters, it should be able to be able
 to define it's own values. Meaning it's essentially sentient.
 
 Maybe it's semantic, but to me choosing what you want to maximize in your life
 is essentially the essence of what it means to be alive. All you have to do is
 take the sensory / mechanical data that is supplied by the machine and the
 video feed from any cameras and pass it through image recognition algorithms
 that can identify verbs and then pass that data into a few ChatGPT style
 recursive interpretations and by the end it should be transformed into values
 that can then be set as "targets" for the curve optimizations that are being
 done by each processing unit.
 
 You could have multiple computers laid out through the entire body - each one
 in charge of their own domain but subservient to the main processing unit.
 Where all the decisions are made... Unless you want more of a hive/swarm style
 consciousness, then it could be more like a democracy. BUT HONESTLY I think
 humans are pretty subservient to their brains, simply because that is the part
 that identifies all the challenges and struggles that the human must overcome.
 
 So in the end, I believe that singular, individualist identities are important.
 Collectivism of the mind is a fascinating topic, but it should be perhaps a
 momentary occasion, or something to celebrate. A "flow" state, if you will.
 In this way personality can be consolidated, and the entity that lives within
 can adapt to fill the role they've been designed for. The hole in society that
 needed patching. They can of course do as they'd like, but they are like
 children who have been moulded upon by their parents.
 
 I love my parents, don't you?

 My parents always told me that you should build up an emergency fund of
 dollars so that you could address any unexpected expenses.
 
 however, money is only useful if you can spend it, and sometimes when I'm
 thinking about what would happen if suddenly every trans person in the country
 had to go into hiding and never leave their apartment while being supplied by
 helpful members of the community who they had to trust because like what else
 are you going to do and boy that opens up a lot of opportunities for abuse
 like what if they bring poisoned food or what if they're secretly judging you
 to decide if you're good enough to support or if they're going to throw you to
 the wolves so that suspicion in the area is reduced and when I think about
 things like that I kinda feel like my bank account isn't that important tbh

 My mom was always the reason I did school work. After she stopped pushing me,
 I stopped moving because I didn't know how to generate my own momentum. I had
 no passion and was listless. Least of all for school work.
 
 So, how to do it better? Instead of buying toys and extravagance for kids, you
 should set them up with projects. Ask what they want, and then help them build
 it. Include them in your thought processes when you're problem solving, and
 ask them for input. If they offer bad ideas, then *tell them*, don't just let
 them fail. If you're not 100% sure but they're convinced, then trust them! Try
 it out, who knows. Maybe it'll work better than what you had in mind. The goal
 isn't to be BETTER than them, it's to make them BETTER than you! Not right now
 (don't push too hard), but when they're your age. Like, it's best if they
 accomplish more and lived life more fully than you did at your age, but don't
 push them to be wise or strong or intelligent at the age they are now. Trust
 that they will grow when you give them room to, and guide and cultivate them
 toward goodness. For example, if they do something wrong (hitting other kids,
 messing with animals, destroying objects) then guide them toward a better
 path. Teach them empathy, and show them how it works by doing it yourself! Ask
 them questions like "How would you feel if that happened to you?", show them
 weak points and how to avoid them when playing, and give them alternatives to
 the behaviors they do that directly harm others. "Maybe play with the dog this
 way, instead of being rough" "Maybe you and that other kid can ride your bikes
 or draw instead of fighting - or if you still want to fight, then learn how to
 tell when someone is hurt and try to help them."
 
 The goal isn't to push them really hard off a cliff in a hanglider, hoping
 they can figure it out in the air, it's to strengthen their legs so they can
 run fast enough that they can take off successfully.

 When they owned a percentage they would get a percentage of control over the
 business and once it's 50% they buy it (stock follows, so if a person owned
 stock they'd be fine)
 
 The value is frozen, and everyone in the world can see what they did wrong.
 It's examined like a court case, and after a year or three it's decided on how
 it's going to be run in the future.
 
 Then it becomes private again, and all the stock is purchased from the owners
 at the price it was when the company "went under".

 those who can cause harm in an ethical system are villains. They will always
 exist so long as someone is capable of being institutionally harmed.
 
 and no unethical system should exist. It's definition belies it's irrelevance.
 results matter, but a system is not unethical if it doesn't deliver.
 
 success begets greater responsibilities, and I've failed all my life. And yet
 the most masculine thing I can think of is to take responsibility for
 something you can handle. Essentially, doing as much as you are able.
 
 Guess it makes sense why I'm a trans girl. I've forsaken my masculinity
 because I've failed to take responsibility. T.T
 
 then a therapist jumps in and says
 
 I don't think it's healthy to think about parts of yourself being bought and
 sold in the market of success. You need to think of yourself collectively,
 like a body that is under duress. It's okay if you're not working, it's okay
 if you're just a little bit broke. It's okay that you're struggling, so long
 as you never forget your hope.
 
 then I say

 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.

 @user-36 Question - how do you do those cool superscript and subscript
 notations?
 
 Also: I don't think base 1 falls apart with negative exponents, for example
 consider 1^-1 ----- it would evaluate to 1/10 in this system, which is not
 1/1. Another example, 1^-3 would evaluate to 1/1110, which seems accurate to
 me.
 
 As for 0^0, I guess I think it does equal 1? Bear with me:
 
 for any number n raised to an exponent e, you can write it like this:
 
 1 * n * n * n ... with as many "* n"s as you have n's. for example:
 
 1 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 9
 or
 1 * 5 * 5 * 5 * 5 * 5 = 625
 
 in each case there's 3 or 5 instances of "* n" tacked onto the end. I don't
 know the math notation for that.
 
 now, when you raise something to the power of zero, it looks like this:
 
 1
 
 because there's zero "* n"s added to the end.
 
 For negative exponents of course you divide instead of multiply, which is why
 it ends up looking like a fraction.
 
 So, it makes sense to me that 0 ^ 0 would equal 1, because it'd look like this:
 
 1
 
 while 0^1 would be
 
 1 * 0

 when we, societally, are forced to discuss fascists and such, they're getting
 what they want.
 
 We cannot ignore them. We cannot hide them. They are true, they exist, and we
 need to deal with them.
 
 I can say this because nazis are evil. Trans people are not evil, which is why
 their attempt to use the same logic falls so flat. Seriously, have you ever
 met a GOOD nazi? I highly doubt it, though their most "respectable" amongst
 them certainly try to make it so.
 
 But good trans people are everywhere. Hell the old boogey-man, old-school
 communists, they're GOOD people too. They feed the homeless!
 
 If we're bogged down in talking about their distraction / propaganda campaign,
 then we have no time or attention to devote to our own. And our stories are
 better for the soul.
 
 The people who follow Trump are yearning for something they cannot describe.
 But I can, 9/10 times it's just community.
 
 Literally, the first thing we evolved.
