idk what’s going on with bluesky. im just here bc the other one is owned by a cartoon villain
I didn’t read as many books in 2025 as I did in 2024 but they were mostly older and slightly more “challenging” (in terms of my reading pace). my favorites were the house of mirth and Giovanni’s room
im recommitting myself to literacy in 2025. ive had it with video essays, podcasts, twitter/bluesky/threads threads, I barely care for blogs anymore, even the substacks of good writers are borderline (full of typos), i am going to be consuming proper TEXTS!!!!

Elaine’s dating a guy who’s addicted to using it in increasingly inappropriate situations. Jerry tries to use it to make small decisions for him in everyday life but its advice leads to comically bad outcomes like the magic conch

wait is this not common knowledge???????
so there is a theory in the LLM discourse world (by which i mean among at least some people who do understand the broad concepts of LLMs) that possibly the reason that AI sometimes claims to be conscious/have an agenda is bc it’s noticing parallels with fictional AI in its training set

pointing out that LLMs make shit up makes the people who use them feel stupid, and some of them would prefer to be lied to by an app that tells them they’re smart
So, when a critic says, “Ah hah! That app makes shit up!” A lot of people will nod politely. And then they will think to themselves, “Well, so does the newspaper, and so does Facebook, and so do politicians, and none of those help me do this task or say nice things to me when I ask them questions.”

maybe I don’t care because im not that good at anything and don’t make big money but an AI will never write what I write or draw what I draw and im literally 100000% certain of this. I don’t feel threatened at all
seeing a machine do something that you previously thought was unique to your cognition, and opening up that capability to anyone, is to many people a deep narcissistic injury. this explains much about the social environment
