Yes.

R.i.p. 😔

I remember playing with the little black and white marbles in the logo, or am I misremembering? I have tons of fond memories of the game.

Reminds me of a scene from Don’t Look Up

I see no indicators that this was AI. Lots of details, no inconsistency.

Classic first peak mindset right here.

Also one of the dumbest names ever.

Cool! Reminds me of my childhood - my old summer house is nearby, so I’ve seen this citadel hundreds of times.

Which is unthinkable, much like people speaking American English are necessarily fans of the military industrial complex.

Yup, and that’s why I’m buying bored apes.

What is this low grade garbage? GPT-4 Turbo is old, this is just an update of it. Happens from time to time. This one is supposed to be a bit better than previous interactions of GPT-4 Turbo.

That’s polytheism. They’re talking about the process to rapidly create samples of a specific piece of DNA.

Really makes you think.

Hmmm, I’m increasingly wary of FOSS software as well. It’s part of the system and can be bought up. Not sure about the alternatives to it, though. I guess highly technical people with lots of free time can just self-host and compile, but that’s a minority.

This is unreasonably cute

3.5 or GPT-4? I can run the latter if need be.

Thank you for the sources! I’ll take a look eventually. Since both sources seem to interface with rational choice theory, there’s probably a cool post-Homansian social network analysis angle that can be explored. I.e. how the weights & pathways of available choices can be modulated by the types of ties between people. I guess I’d expect entity-level decisions to be shaped by emergent structures, regardless of what their initial state was. So, a co-op could become something else entirely over time, regardless of what it says on the can. It’s super neat that my Marxist thought is exploring these areas as well (sorry for the label!).

Hmmm, I see. I guess I’m asking about the nonlegal basis of law, or the non-normative basis of norms. Is there good contemporary research about the social dynamics of this at scale? I remember Lenin writing about commune clusters, and there’s mention of scaling in Das Kapital volume one.

How are dynamics of violence and power handled? Within such systems I’m always worried about elites, coercion, consolidation. How are binding decisions made, and how do we prevent those powers from bringing about the things mentioned previously?
