But no

That was a more recent philosophical advance

I just love that almost anyone can participate in hacking language models. It just shows how good natural language is as a programming language, and is a great way to explain how useful these things can be when used correctly

I once did an anecdote

Poor you

She will not keep a single promise

Quick, get this man gay sex and drugs

It’s like telling your water to not run down the drain

The aliens, we covered this

Yeah it could be the billionaire family that runs everything. Maybe it’s them.

Or it could be something else like aliens I guess?

?

Watch me several times now and then I’ll watch you several times back

The rothschilds

I have voted PP since their conception, and I think we have them to thank for a lot. Will continue to do so, probably forever. I don’t understand how these issues don’t get more attention these days. Tech related privacy, anti monopoly, ai safety etc is just a part but they have excellent values in other areas as well.

So the storm is the switch?

But it would be extremely cool if the entire world’s all power grids could be switched off with a button

No

distributed computing :(((

Yep nothing about censorship is cool. But for rampaging agi systems, a button to kill it would be nice. However it leads into a game and a paradox on how this could ever be achieved

Doing your hobby / passion as work is the natural response, but it is not quite right I discovered lately.

A hobby is and needs to be undemanding and you really risk ruining the fun. instead of giving energy it takes energy.

What is much much more important is your colleagues They make and break every job

And if you want to choose careers, think about what type of person works there and the amount of communication

These things are much more important than if the work itself is fun

If you don’t want lots of intense communication and discussion about creative topics, don’t have a creative job. Like concept art or music. Have it as a hobby instead and do it for you.

I just love talking about game mechanics and player experiences in games, so my job as game designer is perfect. When I was a coder, it was fun but I didn’t get to talk to people and it ruined my hobby to be honest, I very rarely code just for myself anymore because it feels like a chore.

Also, being talented is a thing. If you are talented at something, probably try to use that. It’s a head start. If you really want to do something, you can learn it, but it is taxing and the energy can be used for more fun things if you think about it.

In the end you cannot really know how any job is before you try. The added bonus is that you get to see how different work is socially. Even in pure solitary work this matters more than you think, how it will feel to go there every day. If you are treated like a human. If you are respected etc.

Same. It is fun but was not a good fit. Because I didn’t want to code on my spare time as much. Now I am a game designer and it is exactly right. And it’s more fun to code on my spare time.
