you're not ready for this but: Bitcoin makes this worse and eternally algorithmically encoded

sometimes I am reminded of this as some new game related discourse emerges about a game I literally never heard about but that is somehow extremely popular

At some point after turning 25 youtube and other ads platforms decided that I was grown and that they wouldn't show me any video game related content ever again, despite it having been one of my main interests up to that point

I've said this before but Valve is a great example of what to expect from post scarcity entities. Which is, a whole lot of nothing, but occasionally insane things such as Half Life Alyx. Now imagine many Valves in the world, we're in for a ride

Philip K Dick wouldve been patient zero for LLM psychosis
gibson is fine with it, i think so is stephenson but a lot of authors who debuted after that era seamlessly code-switch to quasi-luddite when pressed, like they were only interested in futuristic tech when it was confined to story (RIP PKD, you would've loved claude)

to reframe this: the social contract of western society imposes that a boomer homeowner has a right to your decade of outlier capital-generating labor, simply by existing before you. It's an unimaginable act of violence.
Imagine making houses artificially so scarce that you have to trade a decade of equity in one of the fastest growing, most anomalously successful businesses in history, to own one.

sometimes when there is a problem interns have the uncanny ability of suggesting the one exact "fix" that would make the problem 2x worse

ABSOLUTELY NOT maths-brained diagrams like these are lies and obfuscations of the truth
I can't* fathom why the top picture, and not the bottom picture, is the standard diagram for an autoencoder. The whole idea of an autoencoder is that you complete a round trip and seek cycle consistency—why lay out the network linearly?

we have to be a bit revisionist and be willing to say that the Transformer paper sucked ass
This image will forever be the transformers architecture diagram, even if it actually is needlessly obtuse for modern dense LLM architectures :/
