I happily call myself a luddite.
I find not using twitter to be the best solution.
Inventive markets is a better term for what they will become.
Until that becomes the metric measured in performance reviews.
The better looking the code, the less effort people will put into reviewing it due to the ease of reading it - the assumption being that what is beautiful is good. Just as a beautiful facade of a building can hide a…
Because the highest values of our society are non-values.
Here you make alike a human to a machine, telling of our times to fail to see the difference.
Every artist of worth has sought two things: to bring something of beauty into the world, and to be regarded in their worth in proportion to the greatness of their art. You suggest we take from them the beauty they have…
It's hard to see very far when dreams of money cloud your vision. Even worse is what emerges if ever they see through, for in their ignorance they fail to make sense of the patterns at play, and as it is easier to miss…
Artists of worth can do both, like Brian Eno with Music for Airports https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNwYtllyt3Q
But then do we not agree, for if your experience of the music has changed upon learning the meaning of the songs, then it was true knowledge of the meaning of the piece which in the end determined your appreciation for…
Do you feel the veins transforming into wires?
A stonemason who creates pieces by hand gathers more respect than one who delegates their craft to a cnc machine. No person who respects their craft will use tools that devalue their relation to their craft. Only those…
The type of people to use AI are necessarily the people who will struggle most when it comes time to do the last essential 20% of the work that AI can't do. Once thinking is required to bring all the parts into a whole,…
I have long viewed that the True and the Good require Beauty to make them appealable to the people. For since injustice is more profitable (in wealth) than justice, the good thing appears more hideous by compare. Plato…
Nothing wrong with being a luddite. In time more people will be proud to be luddites, and I can see AI simps becoming the recipients of all the scorn.
Knowledge not earned is not gained.
No one using these tools will produce anything even a tenth as impressive as what was born out of the Renaissance, since their efforts were born of mastery, understanding, patience, a keen eye, and a love of nature and…
Eventually we will find that the heat death of the universe and the big bang are the same thing, since the totality of the universe is always a oneness, then from the universal perspective the infinitely small and…
There's a reason Plato's Republic looks authoritarian to people, because it models a city in which justice is the highest good, and justice and freedom are ultimately opposed to each other. Since governments and laws…
People don't care, in fact the average person finds LLM writing to be some of the best since it's so good at effortlessly conveying information (of what value..?). That ease of course comes with the loss of the real…
Definitely seems like the whole thing has been given the AI treatment, but who knows, maybe people have just internalized the way it sounds by having too much dialectic with it. The sad thing is most people (even here)…
Meanwhile this article is quite clearly written (or cleaned up) by AI. Or perhaps too much dialectic with AI causes one to internalize its tendency to polish turds smooth. It just has the unmistakable look of something…
PoE2 on the other hand is some of the worst map generation iv'e ever seen. Like a copy and paste of the same exact thing hundreds of times to give you a large lifeless drudge of a map.
That makes sense given the analogous LLM, which doesn't 'think' via the individual or even sum of the tokens it produces, but in-between in the hidden layers. The output - or actualization of the token - is simply just…
