 the more you try, the more you have to calculate, which is a problem, because
 endlessly recursive calculations create infinite loops, which frankly are
 impossible to compute because they defy computation! Not good, not ideal, no

 I think it's more saying "LLMs are not significantly more harmful for the
 environment than other online activities"
 
 also stuff like this: [picture]
The average Google search uses 0.3 Watt-hours (Wh) of energy. The average ChatGPT question uses 3 Wh, so if you choose to use ChatGPT over Google, you are using an additional 2.7 Wh of energy.  How concerned should you be about spending 2.7 Wh? 2.7 Wh is enough to      Stream a video for 10 seconds      Watch an LED TV (no sound) for 3 minutes      Send 2 emails      Scroll on TikTok for about 4 minutes      Upload 30 photos to social media      Drive a sedan at a consistent speed for 15 feet      Leave your digital clock on for 3 hours      Run a space heater for 2.5 seconds      Print half a page of a physical book  In Washington DC where I live, the household cost of 2.7 Wh is $0.000432.  Simply reporting one extremely small amount of energy as a multiple of another can lead to bad misunderstandings of how serious a problem is. A digital clock uses literally one million times as much power as an analog watch. I could write a long article about how replacing your watch with a digital clock is a million times as energy intensive as a way of telling time, and that we can’t afford such a drastic increase because we’re already in a climate emergency, but this would basically be a lie and would cause you to spend time worrying about something that doesn’t actually matter for the climate at all. I see the comparisons between ChatGPT and Google searches as basically equivalent to this.

 sometimes I think about how much more productive I'd be if I had a code editor
 that let me draw arrows and smiley faces and such alongside the code. Or if I
 could position things strangely, like two functions side-by-side with boxes
 drawn around them. Or diagrams or flowcharts or graphs or...
 
 something that would output to raw txt format, but would present itself as an
 image that could be edited.

 this is the simplest implementation of scalable anarchism I could think of.
 tell me how it's flawed so I can improve it before I need it.
algorism is a political and economic philosophy designed to wrest power from those who may be corrupted by it, and restore dignity and agency to all of humanity.  It accomplishes this through several layers of abstraction, of votes, of control, of decisions. What do people need? How could we improve? Is there something more we could do?  The idea is to negate bureaucracy by accomplishing goals in an ad-hoc fashion rather than rely on legalism for institutional execution. Projects, not operations.  Society shall be organized into tiers of rotating peers chosen by vote. Each tier sends their top two most voted for up a level to the next tier of organization. the duty of each tier is to provide for the needs and accomplish the demands of each of their lower tier allies. In addition they should provide what they can to their representatives, who offer them on the tier above.  If a need or demand cannot be met by the team of reps, the request is passed upward. This process can be accomplished with paper and pencil, but it's much better to automate and be public.  If desired, there is a queue system to help with the allocation of resources. This system rewards patience and conservation while still allowing for rapid acquisition. Pick two: good, cheap, fast.  It includes also a recycling system - the more you give back in clean and working order, the greater the options available to you.  It is a system of distribution, not control.

 what if all the AI advancements they're doing are just them building more
 hardware infrastructure in datacenters and not actually improving the software
 that much
wouldn't that be neat I think it would because it means once they collapse under the weight of their own ambitions that hardware's gotta go somewhere and knowing them they're probably going to ship it to south-east asia to be "recycled" (read: burnt with the metals salvaged) instead of selling them second hand because you know they can't really justify the business expense of selling stuff like that and besides what if some driver or something on the firmware was proprietary do you really want to pay techs to wipe every single thing off of them and plus who's gonna categorize and sort them according to their form and function that's just extra payroll and listen the company's not doing so hot anyway I mean we're literally shutting down but yeah sure we'll find a way to justify spending all that non-existent dosh so some hippies can feel better with their servers they didn't build or justify with their profit-producing capitalist enterprise that we've built with our own two hands well really the hands of everyone else but like, they're not actually doing the building the REAL work of course happens in board rooms like this one where we spend MINUTES and HOURS sometimes discussing how to get things in order and aligned to both of our goals because that's the REAL work that has to happen in order for stuff to get done, you know it's true yeah I thought so anyway what are you doing after this meeting wanna get lunch it's almost quitting time at 2pm

 just because you have something good
 
 doesn't mean it's bad to have that good thing.
 
 if it were so, 
 
 it would imply that you are bad. 
 
 and you are not bad. 
 
 therefore it is good to have good things.

 ... licorice is typically considered unlikable. interesting if true 😉​
 kinda wonder what it says about our collective viewpoint, as measured against
 licorice as a control variable. solely for gauging proportion, but like... an
 interesting exercise in collective orientation and comprehension.
