After a stimulating introduction to vibecoding last Friday at the Embassy of the Free Mind, I created my first small game, a Zen adaptation of Pac-Man. Why does the player eat some fruit but not others? Not sure, to be honest. Vibecoding is an experiment, after all.

The alpha male aesthetics
I wrote something about how we're seeing the rise of the online "alpha male." This is someone who speaks in clipped imperatives, squeezes into tight suits, and performs for our feed. They present a vision of masculinity shaped by politics, tech, and 100 years of cultural history 🧵

This is actually something I am afraid of. Just imagine a world where half of the real state is owned by ghosts. It happened with the Inca Empire and it led to their demise.
ahahaha why does every defender of the idea of generative AI chatbots OF THE DEAD start by being like "don't worry, it doesn't have to be a horrifying dystopia!" and then continue by describing a horrifying dystopia

we should be using AI to empathise with the suffering of those whose real suffering we can't fathom (the non-human world), not to generate synthetic suffer.
"For these reasons, we can be pretty confident that probabilistic generalizations performed on rapidly degrading internet content are not steps on the road to algorithmic moral personhood."
