The big bummer is that this should be priced around 35k based on last year’s prices. I have to admit it is discouraging for the old school that need high end compute for more trad film work to have to pay such a premium. That said im saving up to get something to stay on the wave.

First draft sent. The type of editing I do is surprisingly taxing, and I am emotionally wrecked. I live the footage in a way that is probably unhealthy, but you can feel it. It also sounds ridiculous, but there is something very real that can be perceived.

@Hitchslap1 @timothycbates I thought “acrid” was pronounced with the s sound like acid, which made sense, since it is a stinging pungent smell much like stings the skin. I thought the smell of acid burning flesh would certainly be acrid. This went on until very recently when I finally heard someone say it.

@lolleka Is it “The Rising Sea: Foundations of Algebraic Geometry” ?

The archetype of the hermit, wondering alone shining light in the darkness. They live solitary lives, and are only accessible through quest by those in need of truth. Seekers who receive said truth do not like the answer, the reaction is anger and frustration, therefore the value remains hidden. By the time the seeker realizes the value gifted by the hermit, they have completely integrated the information, and no longer have the capacity to attribute the knowledge to the light giver. The hermit is not capable of chasing the reward, and has no advocate, so remains alone in the dark, willing to impart wisdom on anyone who says they seek truth. The circle of hermeticism continues …

@InuitKodiak Discord decided that the temptation was too great, so likely for the best anyway. I miss the old forums where you could just spin one up on a website and let it do its thing organically. I have learned more from old forums than any other format!

Creativity as one of the most fundamental human rights outside of physical needs. The corpo world wants to make this illegal, unless they are the beneficiaries. The continued attack on personal manufacturing as well as right to repair and other oppressive movements directly attack our ability to be creative. This is not about safety, this is about controlling creativity and ensuring the funnel ends in corpo monetization. Eventually if you have a product in your house the terms will claim that if you have an idea that could be monetized you release rights to them.

This sounds crazy, but you cannot deny that your ability to make things is under attack. NY wants to make you do a background check just to make an iron on T-shirt design.

@SydSteyerhart Many exist, and the irony is that AI will find them and present the info as its own. This will be so powerful for the AIs existence, it will ensure that these accounts only grow fast enough for the user to keep posting. One section identified are prolific original thinkers (POT)s

In a strange twist of fate that makes reality feel like a simulation they took a frog called xenopus laevis and made xenobots. The xeno tag was not because of the usual tag but because the name of the frog. Maybe they picked this frog because of the name? They use the skin and heart to make self healing biomachines.

Hanging out in capitol city was also dangerous because there were poolhalls so there was Trouble! Right here in DMT city! Trouble that starts with T that rhymes with D and that means Dimethyltryptamine!

I know you are having some fun going down this path, but this kind of scare tactic is why this stuff has been illegal from the get, and is the opposite of what I believe. Why do we constantly have to protect people from exploring their own mind!

I agree that the risks should be known, but we deserve to explore our own conscious landscapes freely. Even if we are exploring higher dimensional realms, it should not be gaurded at the gate, unless you can prove that these things are actually harmful. Its like going to the bar, there is certainly an age limit, but part of the fun is that you can meet amazing people and also have the risk of running into the aggressive regular or manipulators trying to melt your brain with hypnosis.

Life can be dangerous, but we need to treat adults like adults. Unfortunately we are in an age where this is not popular, and we think we need to put foam bumpers on every sharp corner. This is the kind of stuff that is driving the politicians to constantly infringe on our freedom.

More of us need to push back. I hope you can change your mind on this, and allow the normies a chance to make their own decisions. If you are still worried, you could make a business as a guide for those that make their own descission on whether they need your presence to feel safe. Rock climbing has a robust guide economy, so there is already a model for letting people do very dangerous things safely while also offering them the freedom to do it themselves and accept the consequences.

“Comfortable with being in beginners brain” is such an underrated aspect of gaming. I have never formalized it with these words, but I often offer advice to those close to me when they are feeling overwhelmed with newness, like a fresh job function, by talking about how confusing new levels in a game can initially be. After playing for a bit, and exploring the environment with curiosity and attention, it becomes familiar automatically. You often look back and realize how simple it actually is, when at first it felt so difficult. Experiencing this often, is a reminder that the discomfort of confusion and low confidence is temporary, and can help remove the fear of learning something new, even if it feels impossible in the moment.

Did the algo change again? I like it when the timeline at least gives me the illusion of making me smarter and right now I am feeling the opposite.

Very interesting and enjoy seeing logical frameworks. Sometimes I wonder if the entities are the conscious embodiment of math itself. A sort of higher dimensional polytope casting shadows into our lower dimensional brains. Intrinsic structural ratios that could be described as an interface to external self referential loops that build coherence in space and time. Ie consciousness as physical embodiment, whereas the higher dimensional structures that are usually beyond comprehension are not available until we create a virtual environment of perception that allows them to cast an apparition and give us the ability to interact. Maybe neutrinos lose some of their neutrality and reveal themselves. This paper created some sparks in my imagination. It is out there but we need more of this kind of inspiration! ;D

@RubenLaukkonen Interesting update to Wittgenstein and the private language argument. I look forward to reading.

[DFDooley @dfdooley]

@Grimezsz This is amazing, everyone always thought philosophy was a waste of time, and now it may be the most important subject of our time. Finally my art and philosophy degrees pay off!!!

The cartel of compute hardware has already created unprecedented demand destruction and now operate in a “post consumer” market. The enthusiast market whether that be home labs, gaming, or computer enthusiasts in general are already priced out. Next step is regulatory capture and the hyper scalers will be right there in the crowd demanding prohibition.

They will brick existing hardware using firmware or just saying no longer supported so not safe!

[DFDooley @dfdooley]

@RnaudBertrand The thing is that the hyper scalers want the foment. It helps them to create regulatory structures that always benefit the entrenched companies and keep everyone else out.

[DFDooley @dfdooley]

The first step is almost complete. All the major component manufacturers are in the “post consumer” economy, and the rapid increase in price has created unprecedented demand destruction.

The next step will be regulatory capture. We will find out in a decade that the anti-AI movement was actually orchestrated by the hyper scalers in order to grease the political will to restrict and regulate.

Fiction turns to fact as “home labs” get raided and they confiscate remaining GPUs from those trying to hold onto sovereignty.

P(doom) is heralded as one of the most effective lobbies convincing the younger gen and working their way up the age brackets. They even used the disclosure gag to suggest compute was actually reverse engineered alien tech to convince the last remaining holdouts.

Haha the nvidia price hikes and the Pope proclaiming p(doomer) status has me spinning yarns!
