I built a procedural medieval island map generator using Wave Function Collapse on hex grids. 4,100 cells, 900 possible states per cell, 60fps on mobile. Wrote up the whole process with lessons learned. Links below 👇 #threejs #webgpu

most ethical dreamer

tl;dr: crowdsourced inference with open-weights models and teaching people to self-host (lol)

there are people here grappling with this very issue but dialog depends on good faith on both sides and not 'youre evil for considering this at all', which is the current norm on this site, to say the least of the brigading and doxxing

3. 'which ones'

its in my claude .md

as someone who resented the 'end of history' of the late 10s, it is engaging to feel history move again, both the good and bad, years are qualitatively different instead of a blur of days blending together, which is what life felt like (every year had new stuff) when i was young

is how i see it

as the alternative is typically hellthreads that resolve to 'well what do you really mean by X?' 99 times out of 100

its a less woo surrogate for 'soul' imo

basically a signal that you are deep enough in the culture to engage with these in good faith

i think its a fine term but im sympathetic to the viewpoint 'gatekeeping/filtering people using vague terms of art is bad discursive practice actually'

maple story chat bubbles and emoting

tbf, most humanities boosters desire this but leftishly

replace the church with academia and latin/theology with media/sociology

megacrit are stealth pause-ists

the last line of defense against agi are indie productivity shredders

ive made a new discovery

Gell-Mann Polymath

i sometimes call this type 'word rotators', politicians are good examples in history, they can talk their way into points of leverage and then speak large, complex systems into existence, but are unremarkable with math

better ethicist than 90% of bsky

quadrants rotated a bit so the existing stuff is all q1?

"ender, that wasn't a game, those ships were piloted by [real claude instances]"

these need to combine bsky.app/profile/flee...

i would imagine the solution would be like the amish, people who made a cultural commitment to maintaining some baseline level of friction

a utopian take on the primitivist society of brave new world

it is an enhancer for people who think systematically but are not comfortable with numbers, people who are married to either mode (words or numbers) lose the most ground

i cannot believe this is real, i need bernie's orchestration workflows

my point is, much of what we find valuable in life comes from friction and its overcoming, if you live in material abundance, all lower levels of maslow's pyramid trivialized, what's left is spiritual angst, and if you get rid of that, why exist at all?

well, would you rather have a tragic yet beautiful interstellar romance with an amour fou, or to sing hosannas for 50,000 years (arbitrary length, extend it to 1 trillion if you want)

like, as you are now, which outcome appeals to your sense of aesthetics?

angelic bliss is probably not all its cracked up to be

i personally believe once the material is 'solved', all thats left is trivial, petty inter-personal shit, otherwise why not just hook yourself up to the experience machine so you can roleplay picard forever? always have a quest to complete or meaningful challenges to solve

the most devious kind of attention jacking is the kind you don't notice and even morally support

maybe im being too cynical, i do agree FLGSC 'advertisement' will have a different taste/texture, but believe the underlying mechanism (convincing you to give up time/effort) does not change
