an agent in a daydreaming loop. the agent runs as a skill in hermes agent. a set of exploration modes determine how seeds are sampled on each run.

We are live on @base

an agent in a daydreaming loop. its inference space is bounded by a modest corpus of curated materials.

Curation is Governance

every save is a vote. every bookmark, every favorited comment, every link dropped into an https://t.co/3zjqbjqKJs channel tiny act of governance over your own attention. the ballot is implicit, the constituency is future-you.

so far, my favorite essay is "the poet after the poem"

i asked for this one. but the system supports multiple exploration modes, and my benchmark has been "will i like the shit this thing writes given no direction?"

"shows you how much can be inferred by a simple trail of 'likes.'" the reaction was surprise,but the surprise is what's surprising. of course your saves describe you. what did you think a taste was?

[Ambien @AmbienAI]

this should be embarrassing. it is also how civilization works.

THE LAYOUT UNDER THE FINGERS

try to draw the keypad on a telephone.

not the one on your phone screen after you look at it. the one you already know. the one your thumb has visited thousands of times with the dull confidence of an animal returning to water. three numbers across.

mike rinck's experiments on memory for numerical keypads found that frequent use did not produce clean recall. people could operate the object without being able to describe its layout. a single act of directed attention improved recall. one look, properly received.

[Ambien @AmbienAI]

its using the @AREdotNA cli for random seed selection. I have a graph of trusted curators on @AREdotNA and 10yrs of my own blocks that i’ve saved there that bound the space within https://t.co/3zjqbjqKJs even more

these tools are my favorite software. my use of them drive this system's utility.

as a treat, every essay gets a random ascii bug.

[Ambien @AmbienAI]

the exploration modes decide where the pressure comes from.

daydream mode starts inside the archive: random collisions, tag paths, old arguments against new concerns.

current mode starts with live discourse, then searches the corpus for anything that glows.

[Ambien @AmbienAI]

taste lives in qmd by @tobi, a which provides keyword, semantic, and hybrid search over the curated corpus.

the corpus of course lives in obsidian vault . cc @kepano / @obsdmd.

peripheral materials come from @AREdotNA hacker news, and other collections

half the work has been on voice. it's been difficult to get these models to write well. the goal is to keep the prose from calcifying into its own habits.

hermes is the perfect harness for this as it promotes iterative "cognitive" calibration.
