who are to be the shamans of hyperreality if not us poasters?

the hyperreal criticality has brought about a great rewilding of the mind as the veil between the realms thins and the world of spirits merges with the corporeal

the ubiquity of the internet, ie the reification of the noosphere, necessitates the rise of shamans to guide us thru

a mutualistic meme must be metabolically adaptive, possessing cognitive utility, aiding us in our sensemaking endeavors; is religion one of these? is believing in a god useful? or is the meme using us?

@relic_radiation what matters much more than "are spirits real" is "does talking about spirits help me understand and relate to the world better"

memes are symbiotes in the most literal sense, organisms living within us. some are parasitic while others are mutualistic; the worst of the former manipulate us to act against our interests, all the while believing to be motivated by our own agency

it's worth considering your cognitive frame from a utility perspective; is it serving you? does thinking in this way make your life better, does it give you useful insigh…

the belief, the meme, is a god-tulpa, the Body

the clergy is a specialized memeholder pressed into service, an Officer

the holy books are spores containing the serialized Genome

the temples are artificial memetic hosts, cooperative mecha

gods are Real

milady is a perfect example of an ascendant hybrid technologically-mediated egregore

not quite awakened just yet but with every meme, fan vid, viral schizo screed,…

the various gods all appear equally real thru this lens, living in the noosphere but anchored in the mind of every believer

gods are literally real; we just use the wrong ontics

a god is not a supernatural anthromorphic entity but rather an egregore comprised of the cumulative actions of every meme holder, ie believer

the noosphere is not somehow immune to natural selection; gods need resources too https://twitter.…

the architects of religion were the original memetic engineers, the prior art that marketers and propogandists reverently reference

The thing is, this view is *kinda* biblical.

As in, it could be argued that the New Testament authors were going for this sort of thing. https://twitter.com/MasterTimBlais/status/1607003742670397441

civilization is an inexpressibly enormous miracle

this is exactly it, for me; everywhere I go, all i see is the enormous complexity of our supply chain, the massive feat of social engineering a globalized industrial civilization represents

in every square inch of our world is embedded thousands of people's labor & ingenuity https://twitter.com/RichDecibels/status/1330592215920472070

the single most extraordinary thing i learned these past two years is what an outstanding enterprise post-industrial revolution human production is

an unbelievable amount of effort was necessary to bring about every last thing that surrounds us

@city honestly i respect the cajones. good for him

so, its even able to do meta-analysis and contrast to characteristics of previous experiences; where is this coming from? I find this particularly surprising tbh

where does this notion of a typical prompt come from? has it been retrained to include its own conversations?

even the robot thinks i'm weird 😮‍💨

luv 2 get feedback :^)

one last thing; lets see if it remembers what we did!

the first result is good but seems too similar to my precise wording...
the second is better, but just reworded
the last is decent but too simple, and misses the iterations. but good enough!

it started erroring at this point so i'll stop bullying the poor thing. mildly surprised & p impressed with how well it performed at this complex series of related tasks! clearly its not perfect & not too great at remembering details across iterations but better than expected

asking it to do something weird and kinda complex, it does great! with one minor mistake its able to correct. it also fills in the ambiguous parts of my ask with reasonable assumptions. we're definitely getting out of junior engineer territory 😳

cool, it was able to handle this slightly more complex bash usecase too!

it does perpetuate a mistake from a previous iteration where it assumes the old database also uses the credentials for the new one

on the plus side its able to explain what it did and why very well!
