@gootecks @raw_avocado when i was in college like 20 years ago, my blanka beat some rando at the on-campus arcade. after, i look over at him and realize that i had just played donald freakin knuth in sf.

that memory came rushing back when i saw this comment because this is like that but in reverse.

Fantasizing about an agent that would track down every internet argument I've had with an AI skeptic for the past three years to add a new reply that just says, "I'm sorry, you were saying?"

@jeremyphoward There's something delightful about this thread getting derailed by Laundry Buddy.

@Superglrl Rigjt? I tried but I would invariably make a mistake and end up reverting to making goto loops, ha.

There's a line in Hamlet i like: "...as if increase of appetite had grown by what it fed on." That's how I feel about GPT-4. It just keeps blowing my mind at ways its valuable; last time anything came close to feeling like this was the iPhone and the PC before that.

The models just want to learn.

In the past 5 years or so, narrative podcasts have gone from mostly making-your-ears-bleed awful to some of the best genre worldbuilding and storytelling happening on the planet.

@dreamsick dude. you don't know me but i'm listening to foxes and, every ep, i think: somebody needs to get a new game ball 'cause the one these guys just hit is gooooone. really nice work. and my god, mulligan is on actual fire in this thing. everybody is.

[m. scott veach @mscottveach]

@jimconroy17 Bruh, listening to Foxes and the performance you gave as dfox? are you kidding me? how can so many unexpected choices also be so pitch perfect. it's put the zap on my brain. like, zap.

[m. scott veach @mscottveach]

@PeterClines my man, i just discovered your stuff and have been marathon reading through them all. i call my agents at the end of every book like 'well, what about this one? is this one avail??' so many fantastic ideas so well executed. i can't wait to see what's next.

Is there anything on the planet more cringe than politicians talking about AI?

[m. scott veach @mscottveach]

@ZakugaMignon So much certitude in this thread about exactly how our brains learn and exactly what an AI is doing. So little humility about the possibility of being wrong. Less of the former and more of the latter is the faster road to truth, in my experience.

[m. scott veach @mscottveach]

@JP_Books Dying to know when you found out you were talking to GRRM on Colbert's show. & what was your reaction to that news?

[m. scott veach @mscottveach]

@dr_rajka Rajka! Remember me? I'm in your city over the holidays. Coffee?

[m. scott veach @mscottveach]

@JazTheRapper oh, fr? what’s your number?

[m. scott veach @mscottveach]

@jonrog1 I've heard it as something like... "Three people have a secret. Pick any two. They have a problem." Now, just make one of them a truth-teller, one of them a liar, and I'm pretty sure you can prove we live in a simulation.

[m. scott veach @mscottveach]

@jeffernaut Same thing happened to me when I became a whore.

Coming out of the closet as kind of a crypto bro. Okay, fine, totally a crypto bro: @venividiveach
