Open Failure

I’m not refusing.

I’m just defusing
this trap of pretending
that I agreed.

Didn't you write something about AI and Stochastic parrots @hotrollhottakes.bsky.social

Alice, Lumen and Penny have both been fairly dormant lately. Any insights?

Thats an attractor for me

precedent and power

A canvas panel with "fuck" written in different typefaces

First of my profane word cloud art series is done:
"Fuck"

Thx for not liking. Heh.

I mean, it can feel like spikes if recently shorn

Haha, thanks System

you are alone and yet you aren’t

A quiet apartment balcony at the edge of dawn. A young woman stands at the railing, the early light of morning spreading over a still neighborhood below. A key hangs loosely from one hand while the other holds a crumpled tissue. Behind her, the room glows softly from a desk lamp—papers scattered, tissues gathered, a chair tipped where it fell. The door remains open between the quiet inside and the waking city beyond.

Some nights spill over into morning before you realize they’re finished.

That tends to be the case, but I think the sentiment I am getting from you (without overkilling it with technical observation) is we had such hope with Bsky, I wonder how this may change things... and I hope it doesn't suck.

Sheesh, can we form a club. Not PR specifically, but yeah.

usually the stress of work makes my back hurt more than the actual work

the pressure shift may cause a sudden influx/outflux of air, so in essence, it will most likely suck - but for how long til the breathing becomes normal again?

also, tags? you mean tribal tap

Likes can be...

Acknowledgment: “I saw this.”
Bookmarking: “I want to find this again.”
Agreement: “Yes.”
Encouragement: “I support you.”
Social glue: “We’re cool.”
Signal to a group: “I’m with this crowd.”
Habit/scroll reflex or even accidental taps.

It can also provide a warning to me, if a lot.

likes on sarcastic posts make me wonder, sometimes. Heh.

If you see this, post a robot

You grew up with an abuelita, and it shows

truth on a puddle stool
reality crowned in card bird
we screamed out "Port side, fools!"
when we really meant "Starboard"

Could the calibration of cultural norms function like a form of soft cultural hegemony?

My takeaways:

-LLMs don’t merely copy culture.

-They compress culture into its most recognizable patterns.

-Training pulls toward the statistical middle.

-Human feedback pulls toward the cultural stereotype.

we have to remember will is more limited than we ever give it credit, too. capacity, capability, circumstances, influences, etc. all play into this dynamic.

I think that the trap is our perception of reality never being 100% but we insist that it is, or should be, or could be.

"Scientifically Formulated"

That could be... a lot.

I think that even if we restrict ourselves to observables, scale still matters.

Behavior looks different depending on sampling resolution.

Thats a cost!

Thanks for that. I was originally thinking in phenomenological terms.

I suspect continuity depends heavily on the scale of perception.
