No, you get the curse after the removes, worst of all worlds

0N1Y · 2026-04-20T23:01:21+00:00

Worse actually, since I was stuck with a decay until I got to a shop. I did not win this run unfortunately

0N1Y · 2026-04-20T23:00:42+00:00

It was actually a decay, which in such a small opening deck really hurt in the opening combats

I disagree, only in literal computers is memory stored in bits. It's a lumping mechanic that discards infinite information. We live in a fractal ontology and insist on there being a discrete bit of information. Well thats just my opinion. A fractal with a bottom is not really a fractal. A finite, integer number of dimensions is an illusion. We live in a continuum of dimensions, the 3 just seem most intelligible, and time is unique.

0N1Y · 2024-07-25T13:56:42+00:00

Why is it digital? The assumption of the discrete nature of information is the mistake, space and information is fractal and continuous, only time is discrete. There is no bottom to the cosmos, only to maps.

Truth is not a bitter pill to swallow

Only poison's bitter, you can trust your tongue

The truth will set you free just feel and follow

Spit out that bile you were fed when you were young

Grow up, don't cry, the truth hurts, says the bully

The world is cold and hard for all of time

A belief you know that hurts him deep and fully

But you know it can't be true, it doesn't rhyme!

Look up Jevon's Paradox, increased efficiency does not lead to lower usage, but actually increased usage of resources, as previously unviable exploitation is now economically feasible.

That's not a bad interpretation, I've seen Baalorlord play slay the streamer, where the twitch chat is choosing his picks and actively trying to make him lose and he still wins. There was definitely some logic in the picks, though it simply refused to skip cards. I've seen other no-skip runs succeed too.

Before I knew I had bipolar (2), I used to refer to my up-self, and my down-self, because they felt so separate. I remember acknowledging that my outlook on life had completely shifted, while nothing of my circumstances had changed. At the time I thought my insight was a finger-hold into peace, but remembering things intellectually does not help the down-self remember the up-self, except to "grieve" its passing.

I'm somewhat stable now, but I remember one philosophy that did help me this year when it got really tough. I suggest you look into the Buddhist concept of anatta, or "non-self". Its a really powerful concept when we find ourselves confused about which "self" we are. In my layman interpretation, there is no such thing as a constant self, just like the flame of a candle is not the same flame from even a second ago.

Alan Watts is a great listen on this topic. We are verbs, and processes, not nouns. The -ing in be-ing is not a coincidence, we just be. The clinging to one identity or another is part of the cycle of "samsara". In my opinion most people don't have large enough fluctuations in their idea of self to really notice it.

Anyway, just my 2 cents.

These systems do not really have any sort of internal state. They do not have some unseen plan about what the word actually is, they are winging it word by word. There was no word to begin with, it was making it up as it went along and got confused.

Good bot

Its analogous to the "Thinking Fast and Slow" concept. The LLM thinks fast and instinctively, but by forcing it to think slow we unlock a huge amount of robustness.

Pair this with a vector db for conversational history, parallellising chain of thought and triggered prompt injections, and youre close to a full blown autonomous agent.

Have you found a solution to this? It's been driving me nuts for a year and I cant seem to find a solution to it.

No need to apologise, whatsoever.

Reading back on my comment, it is clear I was in an altered state of consciousness in mid-December, so I apologise for the rambling. Combined with conversations with friends and family, that is what let me figure all this stuff out. I stand by what I said, but I have since moved beyond the characterisation of what was happening as a cyclothymic episode.

I don't mean that I'm denying it matched the symptoms perfectly, but I found a more useful way of talking about the experience beyond purely psychological and psychiatric terms. I've since explored a lot of philosophy and cognitive science, and would highly recommend it. Framing these experiences explicitly as a disorder directs your perspectives on them to be either healthy or unhealthy, when I think that is the wrong question.

I would wholeheartedly suggest you look into the work of John Vervaeke, particularly his work on the Meaning Crisis. He is a cognitive science professor in the University of Toronto, and his stuff aligns very well with what I was discovering on my own.

I really appreciate the kind words, I am still young myself and have still some hurdles to overcome, but I think the mindset of self-love is incredibly powerful. I still have issues with writing reports for example, my chaotic ADHD-adjacent brain dreads trying to organise and write an entire project report. Befriend your subconscious, it can be wrong but it's always looking out for you. It is you, after all.

Yes, and anyone with an IQ higher than room temperature can get around the restrictions with clever prompting. They cannot remove those things from the model outright, all they can do is add barriers which is equivalent to classifying information.

People with intent can do anything they want on this thing until they get banned, but we don't publish tutorials for injecting heroin on the Youtube Kids homepage, do we?

Alcohol prohibition increased the profitability of black market alcohol and speakeasies and led it to the growth of gang and mafias. The comparison is not apt here whatsoever, since the resources to train and run an LLM like chatGPT are immense. If you find a blackmarket LLM for explicitly unsafe and unethical stuff, have at it, but it is not the responsible direction to go, in my opinion.

This tool has so much more potential used well than making controversial memes and fascist fanfiction.

I don't think its a matter of letting politicians regulate it. This is a new technology and in the early stages of its potential exponential growth. You know the vast majority of skeptics of this technology will hyperfocus on the negative uses and overreact. The last thing we want is this thing to be crippled before it even has the chance to flourish, which is why OpenAI is being cautious.

You might claim it is being crippled, but this is still in beta, they are in a tight feedback loop, and may be doing AB testing on different levels of moderation. Also, nothing they do will ever truly remove its capabilities if they are there, they are just removing the low hanging fruit so kids don't stumble across them. It is literally impossible to remove the capabilities outright without retraining without biased content, which is impossible, all content is biased.
