epistemic father. committed all to bits

[Jakeup @myhandle]

you post nut clarity, I tweet crazy insight, we are not the same

[Jakeup @myhandle]

when you read about a husband losing his libido the reaction is "that loser should quit porn and booze and man up" and when it's the wife the reaction is "tragic story, perhaps the husband should get better at foreplay"

[Jakeup @myhandle]

who has more influence, and thus some responsibility, for the sex drive of a married person?

a. sex drive can't be purposefully influenced

c. each person can more influence their partner
d. the husband is responsible for both

[Jakeup @myhandle]

what idiot called it a drinks menu and not a spirit guide

[Jakeup @myhandle]

a unifoid theory of monogamy

[Jakeup @myhandle]

@noampomsky ok how long do we need to date before I reach ex status and familiarity

@nikitabier @alphafox I fully support your war against grifters who steal content and pollute the commons. but somehow posters like me got caught in the crossfire

[Jakeup @myhandle]

@nikitabier @alphafox this doesn't encourage me to post better content, but to either post stuff that goes viral like gender war-bait (I don't want this) or just post elsewhere. the new algo is directly responsible for reviving my old blog which I've abandoned for X in 2023

also: what the fuck happened to MidJourney?

a year ago it was a bit hard to steer, but consistently beautiful. today it generates absolute garbage with little relation to what I asked. for reference, Gemini generated the featured image above on the first try with the same prompt

Peer reviewers, RL graders, and LLMs have no choice but to read your stuff. The trick is writing for those who can leave.

@edwin_mccallum @KelseyTuoc @DerekPederson3 "yeah girl I'm really into true crime, skincare routines, and the loooong tail of romantasy wait come back why are you dialing 911"

[Jakeup @myhandle]

I'm still embarrassed about the time I bought a treasury bond instead of getting drunk with my friends, and yet I'm not sure I've fully internalized the lesson

[Sasha Putilin (curious irrationalist) @42irrationalist]

@catehall yeah but are these real options?
(especially for someone whose money intuitions are orders of magnitude off)

on a related note, @yashkaf makes a case that the wisest way to invest is, in fact, buying vodka (blacking out is an option)

what if we trained AI to git gud at shitposting, doomscrolling, and video games so it does that all day instead of taking our job

[Jakeup @myhandle]

@UntilTrees very Lacanian take

the system tells you that you can only be happy inside the system so that you ignore the jouissance that depends on neither language nor jobs

@bolekkerous @BecomingCritter I'm Israeli, I've just been to Czechia on several trips and it was a 10/10 every time

[Jakeup @myhandle]

indie dev vs. Hindi Dev

@Clint_Davey1 I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets it

@kenthecowboy_ does "supports you" include loading 14 big boxes full of cardboard and metal recology refused to pick up on a truck and driving them to disposal? because that's the hottest thing my wife did this week

[Jakeup @myhandle]

Part 2 of the series, on machines with nothing they want to say writing for people with nothing they want to hear. This wasn't originally a reaction to Sam Kriss and the pope, but this week it had to be.
