@republicofheaven is this separate from classic model addiction? Because the pleasure chart of a skinner box has a similar updown. Although that brings in expectation/reward mismatch.

@republicofheaven I like this perspective, helps explainthe puzzle of why people don't fixate on Jhanas bliss states.

Each nervous system doesn't really know what kind of body it's growing up in. Has to adapt, listen to feedback.

Stretching to become more flexible. Ligaments don't know how long they should be. Don't even know if they're walking on four legs or two. Or if an injury forces onto three. Stretching adapts, holding a painful stretch communicates "must be longer".

@caleb Neat remix of a few concepts. Worse is better, perfection the enemy of good enough, minimum-lovable product.

@WomanCorn fair. ChatGPT will compress and translate information but it won't invent things, and a scaled up ChatGPT won't either. But a future breakthrough in AI might produce an AI that can form and test novel hypothesiss, and that might be able to produce ingishts and take actions beyond human understanding.

I'm not sure how quickly an AI would go from novel insights about reality to producing nanotechnology (or similar scifi). But that's necessarily a question beyond cureent understanding

@WomanCorn ChatGPT's structure doesn't really have an analog to "will". It's predicting tokens using a massive library of examples. It doesn't act in any sense.

However, it's also just a lower bound on what AIs of the future will be capable of

@MmeLibertine I'm tired of living like it's 500BC. Am I living in accordance with my desired virtures? Are my actions bringing me closer to actualization or am I distracting myself with shadows on a cave? I want modern problems.

@empathy2000 a sad state.

One goal I've made is to read/watch more things solely based on recommendations from friends, and watch fewer things by myself.

@ayegill writing it down I'm an organized fashion too. Wikipedia says (incited) he's the first to organize a paper into the now standard 4 section introduction, methods, results, and discussion

Making the earring in schelling.pt/web/@domenic/1095 always correct is so overpowered.

Most people would take an earring that just wastes your time, as long as it reduces decision making. (soap operas, let's plays, chat podcasts, video games)

Most people uh, includes me. Not sure how to change this at a deeper level

It's the same dystopia as Pandora.

Enforcing a static world, whether through hypnosis, drugs, and fetal alcohol or by direct neuro overrides through hair braid neurons by a planet god
