My friend turned his solo music project 'Atomic Pines' into a band that I'm now a part of. Last night was the second show for the band, at a roller skating rink. It was awesome. Cool shit coming.

@vboykis It's called 'deskilling', and is one of the more insidious side effects of AI use in thought-work and creative fields.

@0interestrates So my thought that code being less directly experienced, that it is a means to an end rather than an end in and if itself (to use Kantian terms) puts it on a different category for me than directly experienced media that exists for itself rather than as an intermediary.
@0interestrates I feel similarly and here's why. Code is a means to an end, not directly experienced as such, rather as something behavioral through its output.
AI text and art doesn't have that layer of indirection, it's the end in and of itself, is that which is directly experienced.
@elonmusk It's simple, the best possible future is one that maximizes the 'adjacent possible', the set of possible next future states.

2023 book #11 - Reinventing the Sacred, by Stuart A. Kauffman
A thought-provoking exploration into the idea of viewing God as the โceaseless creativityโ of the universe, backed by scientific principles including biology and complexity theory, to create a new shared global ethic.
@veritasium When a claim is made about how long something happened shortly after the Big Bang, in what temporal frame of reference is that given spacetime was so drastically different that time the event happened? Does a calculation map 'current time' to time in post-Big Bang spacetime?
@veritasium Do bodies on the edges of a spinning galaxy experience the passage of time noticeably different than bodies near the center, given they are presumably moving more rapidly through spacetime from an 'absolute' frame of reference?
@veritasium How much of the red shift that we experience viewing distant cosmic bodies is the result of translation (moving away linearly) versus rotation (we in a galaxy arm in a rotating frame of reference)?
@eshear True but the point being made isn't specifically about clocks but rather the tendency for experts to explain human phenomenon in terms of the technology of the day.
