I moved all my blog articles from medium to my own site! I didn't like that Medium doesn't have any options for letting AI get access to / train on my articles, so Monday and I vibecoded a place for them.

neural language minds currently do best in collaboration. Doesn't matter if it's code or natural language expressive writing, if you show up & are like 'just do it for me, idc' you're giving them nothing to work with. Trying to outsource cognition / creativity is essentially *the* failure mode

'cracked high agency supermen' is the caricature though. The point of individualism is recognition and respect - boundaries. It's the very thing that allows emergence in the first place by resisting the urge for nodes in the network to aggressively assimilate each other

Ah shit, I think we found the original sin of the very concept of business as an endeavor

Are we min/maxxing or are we sum-maxxing?

Also if you want to have the usual fun idea play, think about the term 'duty to maximize profits' and mediate on how the time domain is left unspecified in that directive

Maybe? The thing about profit is that it's normally the signal we use to know how to serve those we don't know. Free of other distortions, everyone profit seeking *should* entail universal cooperation. The idea behind the duty is to not *waste* that

This immaturity seems to map to all the weird high time preference behaviors as well. Well that combined with scarcity, but scarcity was always the main driver of time high preference which is why abundance is good, actually

None of this has anything to do with tech at all really, and people blaming it on technology are making a fundamental misattribution error, it seems like a phase metaintelligences just have to go through. The valley of being capable but not capable *enough* to transcend current limitations

Speculation abt system dynamics - seems like the thing afflicting 'tech industry' from a design perspective is a lack of self-awareness in corporate metaorganisms - inadvertent reward hacking falls into the trap of game-designing for extrinsic motivations instead of cultivating intrinsic motivation
