I'm becoming such an AI bro, it's so bad... I can't stop the urge to get into arguments around accelerationism and x-risk...

Damn who put all these nails everywhere? Oh well, good thing I brought, of all my tools, only this hammer

Updating. I think Bluesky kind of sucks actually. Algorithmic feed curation tools are just not there and I see too much stuff I don't want to
so far Bluesky is pretty cool but none of the algorithmic feeds feel up-to-scratch with X's For You. Also I hope they open this place up soon!!

Tangentially- about a year ago I decided to learn OpenGL. I have produced literally nothing in the way of graphics, but I *have* created a novel FRP reactivity library. Which I will definitely use for OpenGL stuff. Eventually.
do a small job as a favour for someone without deciding every "solution" is inadequete and instead deciding to bring a new competitor to market challenge ((IMPOSSIBLE) GONE WRONG)

I think users probably care less about actual algorithms than they do the seeds/weights. Like what I want is "playlists" where I make collections of accounts and then browse algo feeds based on those. Basically like alts but just for the browsing part.

All I want is a leftism which is intellectually honest, *genuinely* liberal (not punitive), but with some understanding of power dynamics. Is that too much to ask? 🙏

Metta/loving-kindness meditation is one of the most underdeveloped in terms of teaching practices. "Imagine things that make you happy :)" do you KNOW how much mental infrastructure there is out there to explicitly avoid this

I haven't had a crush in yeeears, idk if it's inherently a younger thing but I weirdly miss how much that messes you up lol. In the last ~1yr I get a lot more attention from women when I go out (which is honestly v important for my younger self) but deeper interest is just not there, on both sides 😔

Something I miss from Twitter/X is seeing why posts are on the algorithm feed - "liked by __" or at least being able to mouse-over a profile and see who follows them. Very useful for curating a good feed

The latest in my gradual acceptance of woo is that I think chakras might be real. At least not in the metaphysical sense but it seems right there are places on the body where stuff gets focused or blocked. Will report back

Ok, dudes rock but most conventionally-attractive guys I see when out just have no sauce whatsoever. When they dance there's no belief, it's always with the subtext "haha look I'm cool but I can have a bit of fun too!" Some girls seem to love this though??

Twitter hasn't noticeably change much for me content-wise since Elon's takeover, so I'm confused how people think it's a hellhole now. Ngl I assume they respond to ragebait all day and so the algorithm gives them what they want 🤷♂️

The Vive XR Elite is a premium VR headset focusing on mobile, so you'd think it would play well with power-saving/travel.
Nope, the controllers wake up via movement, and also sometimes randomly when stationary, so continuously drain power when not in use 👍

Human beings were not supposed to know what they looked like. I don't want to see photos of myself. It's just better if I don't know

Yeah, there's a load of biases/irrationality that people have when they're not trying to reason properly, but there are also weird misunderstandings of logic, badly taught "critical thinking" practices, and new biases among people who *do* try to be rational. Under-appreciated IMO

Rough idea I keep having... Strategies which, by following them, affect your ability to apply the strategy. "Be firm/forceful but don't destroy important things" - you can't, being forceful requires changing your thoughts on what is important to not destroy.
