Future archaeologists dream 😕

Oof, “active shooter” vibes, shelter in place :/

I wish people would start plastering this bad boy all over the place. He haaaaaates it.

What sort of knives are you working with?

It’s even wilder when you take the concept of ridgidity and transfer of energy out of the equation and just think in terms of pure information propagating though a light cone. Rigidity itself is a function of information.

You know what makes me so angry though? Looking at the way the Dems govern, even now in the face of this firehosed of shit, this was going to happen eventually. I’ve been thinking a lot about “who’s worse, the Nazis, or people who opened the door for them?”

The universe: needs more jpg.

Needs less jpg?

I honestly don’t know.

Alienation is a helluva drug

Sublime gang rise up 😭

I keep saying this - when I experimented with chatgpt for a couple weeks, I felt like I learned nothing. When I manually search things down, read articles, make inferences from details - that’s a research process with deep synthesis. My ideas and knowledge gained had a provenance and trail of breadcrumbs through the different resources I had dug though. Nodes on my knowledge graph I could return to later, perhaps even for a completely different subject. That week using AI was like paint by number - it felt like trying to drive somewhere I’d been before via Google maps, but without Google maps. No reference points, no muscle memory, no sense of time, just direction taking and roteness.

But then again, I have ADHD, so maybe the spatial/temporal aspect is important for me.

But I am le’ tired.

DEEP CUTS damn I flashbacked hard

As a web dev myself, I know the sheer amount of money that would have to go into monkey patching together all these disparate protocols and ancient APIs, plus the regulatory requirements, and that’s BEFORE worrying about consumer AND vendor adoption. The only reason to get into it is if the service is secondary to chasing a lucrative buyout before you get crushed by some multinational online retail cartel you never knew existed (but always suspected), or Google AEEs you.
