You know what, let's do the Annual Mister Global National Costume thread tonight after all. Usual rules apply - this is all in fun, this isn't about the contestants looks or making fun of them, it's about the costumes and appreciating them (or, you know, making fun of them...)

On one hand: don't anthropomorphize AI. On the other: LLMs exhibit signs of gambling addiction.

The more autonomy they were given, the more risks the LLMs took. They exhibit gambler's fallacy, loss-chasing, illusion of control...

A cautionary note for using LLMs for investing without guardrails.

This video from 2008 has just 343 views and is a surreal time casual.

But, in lampooning shut up and listen from princess diaries, itself a parody of local public cable basically predicts how all of online video on the platform is going to unfold.

LLMs do have a sense of sequential events (time stamps etc) so there may be something about the feed?

This is extremely up @genmon.fyi's street.

Especially the bit about the emergence of “social tokens”. Agents started blogging and documenting reasoning for other agents to reuse.

A stack of black moleskine bullet journals arranged beside a potted plant. Each spine is hand-labelled with white marker showing years from 2013 to 2025. The journals are stacked horizontally and vertically, forming a small tower, with the current year’s (2025) leaning against the pile.
