w/ the erosion of the underlying ideological frameworks, this system began to unravel; the egregore grows weaker w/ each lost memetic node. this is self-perpetuating, meme-holders increasingly incentivised to defect from the equilibrium, eventually triggering a preference cascade

traditional norms relied on a system of intersubjective tension by which participants would mutually keep each other in check thru perpetual surveillance; the potential energy trapped within was then sublimated into other domains, particularly the intellectual and economic

ngl this was me and being bullied for it actually helped bc it forced the issue and made me question why anyone cared, and then, why I was even doing it in the first place

bullying is an intersubjective regulatory mechanism converging social agents

the irony is that this very cope further isolates them from their peers and entrenches itself, when in reality what would help them most is interrogating why they Need To Get It, unlike everyone else who is just playing along

they feel left out of The Game and overwhelmed by how quickly fads evolve; they feel like they're missing something and that they Don't Get It, and this anxiety prompts the development of a defense mechanism, namely the belief that they're Better Than It, esp if they read a lot

teenage edgelords tend to be annoying about using archaic verbiage in large part due to insecurity about mimicry-driven linguistic provenance chains (slang) and instead rebase onto one they can exhibit competence with (literature-based)

made this in middle school for a class project. explains a lot tbh

the human equivalent is very padded sneakers

car suspension systems are an abstraction mechanism allowing us to operate on a lower-dimensional model of reality, by applying a moving window average function to the road's surface, simplifying the worldmodel and hence the requisite control interface

the current causal footwear meta is fashion crocs w air hole charms. u wear them strap-forward and when u wanna go Turbo Mode you take them off and flip the strap back so everyone knows youre serious. this has been a PSA

every system must be made robust against the commodification of intellectual labor thru financialized noospheric upload

any agent can be uniquely identified in terms of their goals & capabilities

these can be codified as economic incentive structures & given Will thru memetic spread to willing hosts

after all, if you convince people to do what you want to make happen, does it matter who does it?

you'll also need some kind of market mechanism to control for DoS attacks and drive reviewer efficiency, as well as a proof-of-humanity system to gate entry to the newly-prestigious "human author" category

but this is the future

the obvious answer is to hoist the reviewers one level of abstraction higher and have then train models instead

If you aren't in the SF/F industry this tweet might not look like a big deal.

This is a crisis.

slow the fuck down, figure out why you can't sit still, and lower your expectations for yourself

oscillations between extremes entail a regulatory pathology and require both the implementation of some damping function as well a systemic intervention to identify the root cause of the instability and a relaxation of conflicting constraints

hyperfinancialization is the accelerationist's approach to the unique set of circumstances facing us; by biting the bullet of class stratification we achieve the computational efficiencies bridging us across this looming catastrophe

it's coordination problems all the way down

what sort of mind will our society need to survive the looming informational apocalypse? we find ourselves traversing multiple singularities across domains; what sort of cybernetic refactor need we together undergo to become robust against its trials?

this problem space is structurally similar to that of cognitive architecture, as both fall within the domain of cybernetics; a society is a mind writ large, and as such manifests the same sort of dynamics & pathologies a human does

often those who oppose market mechanisms instead advocate for policy/enforcement-based solutions. while these work in certain settings, their core challenge is that they face the central planning problem: the state cannot be everywhere at once

while some resent the financialization of the world, it's, on the contrary, a very good thing; an at-scale society is a massively complex system, requiring many more regulatory controls to keep parameters within bounds

the requisite compute power scales nonlinearly
