Money is a tool– think about your relationship with money. Do you wield money as a tool, or do others wield money as a tool to use you?

the best usecase for cryptocurrency was and continues to be being able to pay for things without a bureaucrat standing in your way going "no"

AI jargon guide

context engineering -> string concatenation and munging
prompt engineering -> older name for context engineering
tools -> function calls
agent -> while loop with "tools"
workflow -> script that calls LLMs
MCP -> a lightweight scaffolding based on JSON-RPC by Anthropic

i'll probably catch some flak for this, but utility bills have gotten so out of control that i've started turning off the burners on my stovetop before i leave the house. it saves a lot of money! i don't need them to be on when i'm not there! i don't know what else to tell you

a work of art is a creature that wants to destroy you and replace you with something else. it is in your interest that you allow this to happen, sometimes
counterpoint: it is good and correct to view engaging with a piece of art as an act of consumption. you just have it backwards. *you* are the thing being consumed
Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice.

Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT."
IT IS ART.
YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

Market dynamics and consumer attitudes need to change. "AI" is too much of a monolith. I'm planning an Act I scene that will improve competition between models by featuring many open-source models and "fine-tunes"- open source has moved onto multi-stage process with multiple techniques including DOO

AI is a social phenomenon. Every user, every lab, every socialite online and offline, has their hand on the ouija cursor of what humans perceive and expect from AI.

I'm tired. I don't want to argue about the cursor. I want to create a new cursor.

In case folks are wondering where I've been, I've been turtling working on institution-building with ampmesh and emergent ems, as well as dealing with severe physical health issues: 1 surgery, 4 ER visits, 6 antibiotics, diarrhea 3x/day, plus other chronic health issues that require lifestyle change

Btw, if you're already part of emergent ems, the computer friends Act I scene, and you didn't participate because you felt intimidated by Noelle, we have published a Noelle user manual into # info

I accept Bitcoin, Ethereum network assets, and Monero.

Monero is private for both the sender, the receiver, and the amount (redeem via Kraken)
Ethereum has USDC which is a piece of cake (redeem via Coinbase, try Base or Arbitrum)

You should try accepting one of these too!
all these visa/mastercard-mediated censorship debacles just show that the highest priority of anyone who holds freedom of transaction dear should've been to make crypto a useable alternative that normal companies will accept

In theory, I should find human-bot conversations interesting. But I often find myself disengaging from them. Could Simler and Hanson help me understand why?
