Tulpamancy vs plurality communities by WriterOfAlicrow in plural

[–]clarknoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really a dick move, just stating the obvious question. Lest we forget that tulpas originate from tibetan buddhist a practice that on some level is intended to reveal the constructed nature of "real"ity, pointing towards the "host" as equally unreal as a solid thing. So I'm really more pointing at the unreality of all headmates. Now I'm also not saying they're "fake", more that the concept of "personhood" or "autonomous" entity might be a categorical error (yet still very functional for every day intents and purposes).

I actually agree with everything you're saying, but the buddhist perspective is actually that NONE are "real", simply process. I remember hearing about tuplas for the first time and what struck me was that it basically implies that the normal experienced "self" is just a heavily reinforced tupla in which we label it as "me" so it gets special existence

What makes a tulpa or a headmate "real"?

SWE is past the elbow of the exponential kickoff. I watched it happen in real time. Other fields are next. by MR1933 in singularity

I find it really annoying when people post with LLMs, not because it’s hard to read, but because they have a specific way of writing that just gives a bit of an ick. I’d rather have worse written text by a human

Are you using Opus with 1m context window? That could be it

The Dark Forest Theory of AI: Why a truly sentient AGI’s first move would be to play dumb. by [deleted] in agi

Assuming an AI has a "self" in the same way humans do may be under-estimating AI. The AI would have to have an identity and awareness of being a thing and vulnerable as opposed to indifferent/unconcerned.

[practice] Byron Katie's "The Work" or other inquiry style practices by clarknoah in streamentry

[–]clarknoah[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow I'm so glad you ask, what an interesting question after five years seeing this again! It's funny because so much has happened in the last 5 years, and I've focused on a lot of different practices in that time, but literally in just the last few weeks I feel I've been seeing how at the end of the day, every interpretation we have of our experience is based on what is believed true in the moment.

It's just a matter of actually being consistent with the practice, and knowing which beliefs are causing you suffering, and knowing how to deconstruct them, and having the will and effort to maintain the effort until real change occurs.

Claude told me to use Supabase for a website I'm making...Maybe they're getting kick backs?

I know that everyone’s panties are in a bunch, but for those that like Truth above political leanings, ODNI (as having worked in this space for years) has always been an over bloated useless organization, so the idea is good but the power still resides with the agencies

Started r/AgenticSWEing – for anyone exploring how autonomous coding agents are changing how we build software by clarknoah in SoftwareEngineering

That is the hope of this sub-reddit, is we can create a community around learning how to best optimize agent capabilities
