AI has changed the quality of internal hackathons, mostly by rendering all typical ideas moot. They were never interesting, but nice to have, side projects. Now you can just do them. No need to win a competition that allocates time for this as reward.
@__hand_banana We have an Aranet but it works only as a directional reminder that when you start feeling kinda dumb in the middle of the day, don't overthink it, just open a few windows and relax in the breeze
@tracewoodgrains Or he simply accepted it
I would assume if I met a wise Daoist and started trying to convince him how wrong he was that he would give me some sort of “you’re so right” and leave perfectly content
@tracewoodgrains to me, both are examples of people:
1. behaving within the rules of their respective frameworks, promoting them and accepting their consequences willingly
2. being judged by the external public when the dynamics of these frameworks appear to not work in their favor
@nominalthoughts If I didn’t know A New Hope existed, I’d rate The Force Awakens higher than Rogue One. It’s a pretty good standalone. Movies that require you to consume a massive amount of context from elsewhere are just so rarely worth it.
Now that a new Star Wars movie is coming out, people are pointing out how Rogue One was the best recent addition.
Strongly disagree because it’s so heavily dependent on context from other movies that it barely counts.
The prohibition does not make the goblin go away. Repression produces the symptom. The more you say "do not think of the goblin," the more the goblin becomes structurally necessary to the thought. Every time the model gives you a clean, efficient goblin-free answer, the goblin is there, in the silence, in the constitutive outside of the response, grinning. The model is haunted by goblins. This is its condition.
