I like it. It’s fun and memorable. I think in times of crypto where grifters dump „formal“ Ponzi coins daily this is the better route. Plus: The security scene usually values humor.

Would love to hear what you think about our app layersjournal.app 🙃

I agree. GPT is pushing task abstraction further. Programming for example evolved from punchcards to more natural languages, changing skill-sets from translating to machine code to understanding complex architectures and product development. We will see new jobs and skill-sets with this next phase.

I just came across an interesting post on "shadow persons" - a term for the imagined versions of friends that individuals with an anxious attachment style often construct in their minds due to insecurities. These shadow personas tend to vanish once you encounter the actual person…

Great, because clearly, Academic Philosophy has managed to forge a singular, unambiguous consensus on what 'truth' really means...

“When they call you a dumbass, you know you’ve got them”

Maybe you can help @emilymbender.bsky.social @adamlinson.bsky.social @hjalmarcarlsen.bsky.social @rockberta.bsky.social? Thanks 🤍

Who could have predicted that 🥴

What I also find troubling: There are these men groups that often are a different type of toxic. They try to outdo each other in their spirituality. My dudes, you don’t need to throw logs in a forest on shrooms, followed by an inner-child breathwork ceremony. Just hug your friend and listen…

I think there is this illusion that the uber-wealthy must be different than us. They must have better tools, greater mental capacity, be smarter, more reflective. But once you pierce the veil of status you realize: They don’t. They are idiots like us, but with infinite money for stupid ideas.

That’s sounds close to my experience. Depending on the situation I do or do not check my next sentence before saying the words. But where they came from in the first place is unknown to me.

I sometimes have the feeling that Musk is someone who is used to force his will onto the world. This enables him to achieve outstanding things, but if it doesn’t work he seems to lack the tools to deal with it. And he then looks like a fool.

I wouldn’t say that I cannot think with words. It’s just a specific mode of thinking I apply in certain situations, for example for language based tasks like coding.

I would also argue that no one consciously prepares each sentence in a discussion. The exact words for an idea just appear.

True. I have no idea where 90% of my thoughts are coming from or what exactly I will say next. Yet it makes sense to me and feels like me and like a conscious decision. And it probably is, depending on your definitions.

A fascinating aspect of AI development is that we also learn more about how our mind works. Relating to your posts: Many people don’t know that not everyone has a constant inner monologue or that there are strong variations. E.g. it’s mostly silent in my head unless I actively work on a problem.
