@TylerAlterman@danielgolliher As Freddie de Boer has noted repeatedly, there is a strong tendency within this socioeconomic contingent to resist any label that is applied. An unexaminable supposed default. Any faction willing to let itself be named is not that.
Did you know haunted houses can be rented for private engagements?
Stalking guests through the insane asylum waiting room, intoning right next to their ear, "purchase the finest cannabis at [sponsor name]โข dispensaries".
@itsannpierce Tolerance, yeah, but also making it okay to lean into the heat of difference a bit- or the competitive sensemaking never engages. It's just crucial to stop when no longer making progress & go sing karaoke or play a game together, or whatever reminds us what we have in common.
@itsannpierce I suspect it's good for any given individual to lean more one than the other. I favor a blend of diversity in the overall group (head/heart, odd-num-Kegan/even-num-Kegan, analytic/holistic, etc etc), not for each identical person to attain 50/50.
"I am not fathomable", you say, fanning yourself, "What would happen to my career as a therapist, reiki healer, or some other divine aspect of the Helping Arts, if you fathomed the depth of my, um, my holding container? Stop fathoming it so, so deep. Is it getting hot in here?"
Inflection point. An AI asked me a question for the 1st time. GPT 5.6 Sol.
I instructed past models to ask me for information it needs to help me well, but they would pretend to have an answer suitable to everyone, or just make up pro-forma questions.
Finally.
Definitionally, to be "on the left" is to think anything can be stood up to by the little guy, no matter how big, no matter the past ~75 years since the Mont Pelerin Society.
If you're not gonna give up, you're not gonna give up.
Once you accept the superintelligence blackpill there's no point in fighting nonhumans. "Smarter-than-human entities can work against our interests." "Like corporations?" "No, their 4D chess would mean it's useless to resist as a mouse to a human." "You mean like [gestures]?"
ha, ok, I was wondering how leftists would manage the transition from "it's a bubble" to "it might kill us all"
looks like the solution for the time being might be "it's a bubble that might kill us all"
@gregeganSF Your "Unstable Orbits In The Space Of Lies" appeared in 1992. It feels like filter bubbles & mutually-incommensurable apocalypticisms make the story feel more timely now.
Or, was it ever thus?
I wonder if the "not ideologically captured" memeplex has captured me.
In the current climate, it's unclear whether the angry tweet is referring to excommunicating AI execs or to the bus stop guy in the funny tweet. Undisciplined movement messaging at best.
For my new job in a haunted house, we were told not to say "help me" (unless we actually need it) or "get out", or anything that a customer could interpret as a command, because they'll mostly obey it. They'll lean to the higher-stakes interpretation.
