i've blown through my incandescent rage i guess, and now i'm just back to miserable.

maybe i would do well to give social media a break for a while.

it's not like i will miss out on anything now.

girls love to spend the day being upright for five or ten minutes at a stretch before getting dizzy and having to lie down for the rest of the hour

there's a certain threshold of executive function above which it's possible to experience boredom. and if you've been accustomed to living below it, well. when you get there it's really obvious

The AI hype is starting to make a lot more sense. AI is just how Musk and other leading techbros experience the world right now.

Consider this: Elon Musk doesn't do any work. He has people for that. All he has to do is give those people vaguely-worded instructions or "prompts" and they come back with the thing he wanted. He doesn't know how they do it, nor does he care. If something doesn't work the way he wants it to or doesn't meet his specifications, he supplies his people with a more specific prompt. That's how he "works"

edit: from @mcc in comments:

And they're terrified of AGI "getting out of control", I.E., the faceless entities that the prompts are attached to suddenly acting independently and making demands instead of just passively returning requested thing on demand.

All that nonsense stuff about accidentally creating computer hell god is just sublimated fear about their employees unionizing

it's just slavekeeper mentality. capitalists think the worst thing ever to happen is when they started to have to pay their workers, and the 20th century was one long story of finding ways to get around that loophole. ai is just one natural conclusion.
