once you feel the texture of people projecting higher dimensional vector spaces down into 2D spaces, you see it everywhere, and it does, honestly, distresses me.
i yearn for the higher dimensions, please stop projecting my attention space into a line.

To be clear, sometimes this process is very informal. Formality can get in the way too.
But I do think one of the best ways to interact with LLMs is by understanding words as abstract vectors interacting with other abstract vectors on the semantic manifold. There is a semantic class diagram.

being a really good touch typist lets you look away from the screen, and even look directly into someone’s eyes as you type. the mystique this grants you is very powerful.
im advancing the "hailey is a 10x engineer" accusations by simply not looking at my computer while typing on occasion. interesting bar that exists these days.

Well said. I think of almost every AI chat as a programming project. You research. You pick features. You pick limitations and scope. You design an architecture of concept-classes that are knowable and interact with each other in predictable ways.
You build, and then you test, and then you iterate.
You build, and then you test, and then you iterate.
I think one thing that affects how I look at AI/LLMs vs. how others do is that I primarily see them as puzzles to be solved and/or artistic projects *in the specific sense, to be clear, of trying to get specific kinds of output from them artfully*
like, I try to challenge myself when I use them

This week on the blog: Peasants! We are at last putting together and wrapping up our discussion of life for pre-industrial peasants - a category which includes a majority of all humans who have ever lived.
How we can model how they lived, worked, loved and died.

this is not how i use LLMs/AI but it's an interesting example of a way to use them that isn't the simplistic stereotype of "naive wishful-thinking dumbass projecting onto the markov generator output" that many critics believe in

an interesting example of human multi-modality is the way that video/film representations of "what it's like to be on drugs" are often actually pretty accurate, in my experience. and having seen representations feels like it did prepare me, to a certain extent, for the experience itself.

turns out that meeting a trans woman who is hotter, sounds better, passes better, has a good and interesting job that requires a much higher level of education than i have, etc, was probably destabilizing for my mental health
i am very smart so i also started reading a book about status hierarchies

as in, when we started hearing about things like "Target knows you're pregnant before you do," and stuff like that, I think we started to accustom ourselves to the idea that obviously somewhere in a data lake somewhere there's already a complete profile of us, as opposed to us noticing lucky guesses

“a partial fix is worse than no fix because no fix will motivate a full fix” is a complex second order argument that should probably come with detailed analysis of the best available evidence and most accurate models, rather than sneering derision at anyone who prefers the partial fix to no fix.

one of the hardest things i've had to accept in life is that my wife, who has an obvious physical handicap that has forced her to face lifelong discrimination and also makes a bunch of physical activities basically impossible for her... is less disabled than i am, with nothing wrong but a bad brain.

The reason they do this is because in the place where modern high quality software skills are common, hardware production is 30 years behind. In places where there is modern hardware design and production, reliable software skills are on average 30 years behind.

who builds a "feed your cat on time" device and then makes it 100% internet-dependent? no local schedules? no tests to see it still functions network-less? that's quite some malpractice.
