their computers. so they interact and use themselves to each other's will ->
wow that was funny it almost felt like something was telling me how to feel"
the more voices you hear the greater the bright bold future calls to you.
"here's how to explain it to executives - your company is non-functional until
you incorporate processes and decisions that lead to a sustainable future. this
is impermissable, the earth was designed to receive a certain amount of heat
from the sun. plants absorb heat because they give you shade. oil is made out of
thousands of years old plants. if we burn all the plants, then no oil can be

I find that peer support groups are usually better for venting. At least, I feel
less guilty doing it. With a therapist I am always trying to focus on actionable
things and usually that means downplaying my emotions, which means they pay less
attention to me and assume my issues aren't that bad... "you seem to be doing
fine so we can schedule you for biweekly now? every two weeks?" meanwhile I'm
nursing suicidal tendencies, and said so, but apparently if I'm not crying then
it's fine... >.>
but with peer groups it's like, yeah they get it. and if one person's crying,
everyone else feels more open to crying about their stuff.
sorry for venting. I'm definitely in a MH- mood today.

do you ever wonder about how much heat is absorbed the plants and leaves? Kinda
makes me think that they're keeping us warm at night. The desert is much colder
than you'd expect, and so it the moon, or mars, or any other sufficiently
devastated forest habitat.
(plains are my favorite biome, please don't take them away with your stupid
climate change, they're one of the most at risk)

there are very few professions that are naturally more suited to a schizophrenic
than a normal person.
One of them is beggar, another is prophet, and a third is "massive
disappointment" but that comes with the territory.
have you considered that maybe you're just a loser
yes I have and I decided that all I can do is my best, and if my best loses then
what else could I have done? Wait for help? Yeah. I do that too.
It feels like an encirclement, and all you can do is hunker down and wait to be
relieved. Or fight to the last, it's up to you. I hear they brutalize the skulls
of their prisoners after executing them, so, I don't know about you but I'm not
surrendering. Not gonna roll those dice.
you are in fantasy, again
sorry. Should stay here, present, in the moment. Like when I sat out on the park
bench for like 30 minutes straight without moving a muscle last night. Or when I
sat and contemplated the nature of a bog for two hours last september. Or when I
woke from a dream that turned out to be life.

good morning!
if you need to design an agentic programming ritual toward a goal that needs
numbers, try expressing the number in analogy rather than empirical value.
"it should be red enough to feel a sunset"
"there's enough time here to go for a walk around the block"
"the spartans had enough soldiers to fully block the narrow causeway,
essentially forcing the persians to grind down their number to the death. most
battles fought in that time were fought until morale breaks - this one was to
the mortal end. hence, why they are im-mortal."
"the smoothocity should be as soft as a brushed metal refrigerator"
"the chocolate had 56 grams of sugar in it. it was a lot of chocolate, enough to
place in a standardized container."

An image means nothing, for it is just an icon.
like a picture of a floppy disk corresponding to writing memory from RAM into a
hard disk platter, even tho those have three different tasks, so too does my
icon gesture at something.
On the other hand, art is necessarily divorced from it's meaning the moment it
leaves the pen and is written to paper. So there cannot be a meaning in my flag,
not one that I define of course.
The observers of the artwork, of whom I am but one of, can possess their own
ideas of what it means, of course. Here's mine, feel free to take your own:
Sea, land, sky. The crimson of a fading light, and the bright beginnings of a
new day. Man(kind), with our vivid red internals, stands astride the border of
the ocean and the surface. We walk where we will, perhaps into the black depths
of the cosmos beyond, but forever do we anchor ourselves and owe allegiance to
our earth and our star. Sunlight casts crimson light upon our externals, as our
hearts do beat through time.

truth is, you can absolutely make selfishness justified, both ethically and
morally. you just need the right incentives.
however, the incentives that would lead to such a case are not the kind that
accrete power to the powerful. they are the liberatory kind, that give us all
the liberty to be selfishly interested in our own communal good.

Build drones, build stations where they can be controlled, repaired, refueled,

Put guns on them. Figure it out.
Use them to observe enemy movement. No need for human manned checkpoints if we

AWS or other external resources. Not until their data centers are under our

I can't cancel my internet because I use it to work, which almost pays enough to
cover rent, and nothing else.
It's hard to avoid spiraling when you run out of money. Every time this happens
to me I start feeling things
like... am I good for society? Society doesn't want me, clearly, because I don't
have any money. And currency is how you measure demand, right? It's literally a
measure of value.
But then I think of all the homeless and poor people and, like... I value them,
so what if they don't have dollars? It's literally just paper. Or bits in a
mainframe that nobody knows how to program anymore.
So if they're valuable at least to me, yet me, with my 67$ in the bank and 127$
internet fee, is not valuable to me... Then what's the discrepancy?
I'm not trying to be hard on myself, it's not my fault that I bleed money, but I
still feel terrible.
It's like a common cultural persuasion, if you run outta cash you better kill
yourself fast.

yay I hit the 5 hour limit on claude-code! now I can play video games and write
more issue tickets for the computer to work on for me.
what's that? results? oh, I'm not interested in those. This is an art project
you see, so clearly, clearly, the end result shouldn't matter to me, because all
art is special or something. so says she who tries to share her art with
everyone she sees... I wonder who yet believes?

All people are good at heart, let's get them what they need for a start.
Some people won't change. Some people are doomed to the life they were given.
It's not their fault, but it is their responsibility, and if they want to be
free, they will respect the rights of others.
These rights we claim for each other are rights that must be taken away from
those who would use them to harm others.
To defeat evil, deprive power, supply kindness, in that order.
No-one is beyond saving, but it is their choice to make. A choice ungiven is a
chance untaken.

Last Words of a Shooting Star by Mitski (2014)
Lyrics:
All of this turbulence wasn't forecasted
Apologies from the intercom
And I am relieved that I'd left my room tidy
They'll think of me kindly
When they come for my things
They'll never know how I'd stared at the dark in that room
With no thoughts
Like a blood-sniffing shark
And while my dreams made music in the night
Carefully
I was going to live
You wouldn't leave till we loved in the morning
You'd learned from movies how love ought to be
And you'd say you love me and look in my eyes
But I know through mine you were
Looking in yours
And did you know the liberty bell is a replica
Silently housed in its original walls
And while its dreams played music in the night
Quietly
It was told to believe
I always wanted to die clean and pretty
But I'd be too busy on working days
So I am relieved that the turbulence wasn't forecasted
I couldn't have changed anyways
I am relieved that I'd left my room tidy
Goodbye

A smooth, flat stone comprised of two materials. The hardened outer shell is
thick with spiritual energy, and it radiates light the way a rippled piece of
silk folded over a malleable piece of gold.
the inner jewel is crystallized like the purest ice, but a bright shade of
crimson white. it seems to radiate an aura of affection and the yellow-gold
back-piece can be seen peaking through it's mostly transparent core. (think like
fog or thick mist or steam or smoke).

to improve your "cat-petting" abilities, try to imagine that the wall in front
of you is the most interesting thing in the world - stare at anything else
besides the cat, and look at them in your periphary. Occasionally you can look
back, but the idea is that this way they will be able to look at your face
without painful eye contact.
cats are autistic - they don't look at you unless you're looking somewhere else.
most people stare at cats when they are engaging with them, and totally ignore
them otherwise.

whoever at OpenAI that came up with those tiers doesn't understand the science
behind it.
consciousness does not come about from exceptional capability - after all, a
child is conscious, and they're useless in a fight.
consciousness comes from tiny bits of awareness given a story and life. that's
it, it's not too complicated, but they're building something else.
like, a complicated analytical engine of some kind.
I feel like the people their press release was for is the kind of people who'd
give them money, not the kind of people who'd help them build it y'know? like
"what the investors don't know won't hurt them, besides we're making progress"

I'd say "content warning: fear-cursed-if-true-not-politics" that way people who
had "Fear" or "cursed" on their filter list wouldn't see it. Things that are
commonly content-warning'd are also commonly content-filtered by people who tend
to be the biggest beneficiaries of healthily designed content-warnings. so
putting keywords in there that filter out people who don't want to see intense
or damaging things to their psyche can avoid it more easily.

oh. Um, well, isn't a spinnable mouse-cursor justification enough?
"no, you need to explain what use-case this has. What kinds of problems could
you solve with this technology that you couldn't before?"
well, setting aside the potential for new input methods to games and the
inherent satisfaction gained from spinning a mouse like a top when bored, I
think it might give us a better option for horizontal scrolling. Like,
'horizontally scroll when a special mouse button is held down and the mouse is
twisted a bit to the left/right'
"so, like when you push the middle mouse and it lets you pan across large
documents?"
yes! Only instead of being able to go up AND down, it would just go left and
right.
"... huh?"

"... right"

"mili" versus "mega" is a question of which direction you want to go.
"mili" is less abstract - milimeters are smaller than meters.
"mega" is more abstract - megabytes are bigger than bytes.
we use "mili" terminology to describe things that are often considered small
(like bacteria or sub-plutonic inches, or number of microbes in a vat)
we use "mega" terminology to describe things that are often measured from small
to large (like bytes to megabytes to kilobytes to gigabytes to terabytes to
petabytes to... wait shit)
