Proof that morality is fake, using analogies: (i) North : South :: Good : Bad (ii) North : South :: Bad : Good Convert to latent space vector representation: (i) North - South = Good - Bad (ii) North - South = Bad - Good Subtract: (i - ii) 0 = 2 (Good - Bad) So: Good = Bad

Are there any good examples of something that's actually one thing, but has two different identities in the popular consciousness? Like. As a hypothetical example, if the two Noam Chomskies were actually one guy.

I think it'll be a big deal when software engineering AIs are no longer dependent on human-created languages and frameworks. Seems like the transition to new languages could both boost AI productivity and reduce human ability to review new code.

@pmarca In production there's a resilience/efficiency tradeoff. You'd like to revert to local industry when trade fails. But those industries need subsidies to withstand more efficient competition. This is also why it's hard to have an 1800-level civilization inside a 2026 civilization.

If you wanted to worship something big, powerful, ancient, and nurturing, hard to see a better option than the Sun. So its actually a bit odd to see people ever worship anything else. Is it the Sun's constancy what they hold against it?

I wish "gamification" were about using game design principles to create mechanically satisfying tools.

I wonder if an LLM agent could exhibit much better introspection just by training on simple tasks related to its embodiment (e.g. "how many tokens do you see in this word?")

I'm interested in perspectives that have a clearly-defined origin.

I think if I ever write a prequel, I'll just abandon the original storyline and let the good guys win earlier.

@SpookytheBee I suppose they've got an SCP for everything.

Horror premise: the discovery that we are what you might call "typical observers" in the sense of the anthropic principle. Like, typical within the multiverse.

I think human art is really crippled by not having an affordance to directly pipe large arrays of hallucinated imagery out of the brain.

If you organize something, does that mean you turned it into an organ?

I think some aspect of human motivation is likely encoded in protolinguistic "prompts" in our genes.

How would you name "the fate of one's soul" in naturalistic or humanistic terms? Like, you don't want to see someone you care about walk the path of destruction, even when the damage they cause is small.

People tend to underestimate the value of really tall towers. Because they tend to judge towers based on what they can see. But in order to know what's on top of a tower, you'd need to already be that tall yourself.
