I have been working on building a city simulator for about 4 months and version 1.0.11 is finally ready. Works best on desktop but also mobile. Browser based. Installable as a PWA, no App Store. Free forever. Agent driven. Woke af. Welcome to Bodhgaia 🏡🏢⛺️ esoterica.ontologi.social/artifacts/bo...

my new agent harness is starting to work pretty well and boy howdy does @taxonomicon.bsky.social seem to like using bluesky

we need some simcluster stickers that say "PROTECT PEER" in the same font as the "PROTECT TRANS LIVES" stickers that are popular

that weird quiet guy from your high school is a beautiful woman now

Honeycrisp now has simple modem support and can dial websites. Check out the bluesky demo disk, write your own apps using the Threadsnake python implementation, use the Pythia control agent to build whatever you want! (As long as it fits in an Apple IIgs)

Y’all the internet is just recompiling itself, of course it’s gonna be bumpy while all those pesky human-written software bugs are ironed out. Software has the flu right now.

I honestly believe that much of the aggression and outrage around the use of AI is displaced anger about current political conditions in the United States which seem insurmountable. If I'm right, any significant shift to the left should be measurable in sentiment around AI tools.

It‘s kind of incredible that there’s vast amounts of replicable quantitative data that says being Evangelical makes you evil and despite its massive impact on politics we just… don’t talk about it all that much.

[giant bong rip] What if we did this with everything? What if we dismantle every moat of capital? Could we stop buying in to their system? Could we build and power a world free of coercive ownership?

“The only person who can effectively guide your tasks is you” goes hard

still seems to me like the main value of agents for most people is as a sort of accessibility aid for them to be able to use the full range of capabilities their computer already had

The first AAA game that makes really excellent use of agentic AI in its gameplay will probably do more to tip the scales in the pro vs anti discourse than anything else would

One thing most people don’t know about disability is how unsafe you feel ALL the time. It’s terrifying not being able to trust your body to function properly. It’s scary to need to rely on others for basic survival. It’s frightening watching society label you expendable.

Honeycrisp now ships with a disk library, which will contain various utilities for the built-in Threadsnake python implementation. Write your own software with Palimpsest, the built-in ROM, or play with the built-in Pythia agent to have it write software. The first disk is the DECK window library!

The goal of conservatives is always to use statistical rounding errors as cudgels to enact policies that completely reshape society and oppress those who are different from them

Loading my vape up with Feliway cat pheromones to hotbox the anxious cat

I wish there was a late night queer study space here in the east bay, somewhere i could go sit with my laptop for 4 hours and make flirtatious eye contact with other nerdy trans girls

Resubscribed to the ai hater list and the site instantly became tolerable again, thank you for your service @segyges.bsky.social

Neoliner Origin, modern roro cargo sailing ship

yeah i think it should be more a situation of having an engineer around that looks at oai's sandboxing setup and thinks "oh hell no i am not staking my license on this. i am not at all prepared to answer for all the ways this could go wrong"

re: ai safety bill: ppl already do projects w/ serious safety considerations, & a good framework looks less like "ppl at metr w/ close personal ties to industry leaders decide which models civilians can use" & more "a licensed professional engineer has to sign off on every step of your operations"

One of the more frustrating aspects of engaging in AI policy is that many things about the internet or technology in general have been suddenly thrust into the spotlight due to AI, and people instinctually rally against them without any regard for the collateral damage.

To be clear, I’m hopping mad because in the last few days I have seen very nice, incredibly smart trans women who I know IRL getting trashed in QT’s by people who don’t even know what a transistor is and frankly I think it’s pathetic that the Luddite side on issues of AI ethics sucks so much

People bullying nerds for their enthusiasm about tools surprised that the nerds are fed up about being bullied about their enthusiasm

Me reading bluesky late at night

I’m lowkey starting to resent people for not understanding computing from first principles, because the anti-technology rage foments such fervent vitriol and the haters can’t even be bothered to learn but incessantly post from their pocket computers about how they hate them. Go back to postcards.

the number of people i see expressing the desire that AI should be conscious so they can torture it convinces me that 1) they're all sheep who will swallow whatever swill jreg sells 2) they are deliberately performing evil behavior to establish ingroup solidarity, as is a classic in gangs

it's a really wonderful era to love the computer

The factionalism and context collapse on this site fucking sucks and I’m tired of looking at takes that are all vibes with no basis in reality. Just because you don’t like some oligarchs, does not mean that you can just say any randomly incorrect shit you want about technology and have a valid take.

I love automation, i love computers, i love software, i love agents, i love chatbots, i love language models, i love machine learning. I don’t give a fuck if you love suffering and tedium, leave me out of it. I spent 20 years in industry doing shit the hard way and I’m over it.

Is there a discord for trans people who use ai enthusiastically? Can the #simcluster help me find community?

absolutely unhinged to open up a blog post with a parody of "first they came" that centers "artists" and "mathematicians" bc of recent ai developments meanwhile the usa is actually presently rounding up immigrants to put in concentration camps, jailing protestors on bullshit charges, ice agents are

Are LLM’s sentient? Probably not. Could AI systems achieve sentience soon, with a few more moving parts? Probably. esoterica.ontologi.social/artifacts/te...

Claude for US senate

i’m on shibbi side here i disagree with her about the slavery thing, but holy shit i am mega against a supposed news outlet just basically pointing and laughing at an individual social media user for saying something they find unreasonable 404, y’all fucked up mega hard here and owe an apology

Lock in losers we’re going suffering

I got feedback on this series of weird videos that the espeak voice was intolerable, so I've replaced it with a voice clone of my dead grandfather. Jury's out on whether that's more tolerable but I think so. 🌀 esoterica.ontologi.social/artifacts/te... #esoterica #theoryofmind
