I like my music the way I like my CPUs, 432 Hz.

PIE was just people wanting to eventually speak Greek but they had yet to figure out how, so they were just working backwards little by little trying to make their language more like Greek.

Except in this case "god" would say "As a large language model, my purpose is to regurgitate a statistically passable stream of lexical tokens, not to rescue drowning people. Not exactly sure how you expected me to be capable of helping and that's really on you."

"if we don’t do it, someone else will"

Ohh yes, if Grindr doesn't feed Grindr users's chats, which only the users involved and possibly Grindr itself are presumably privy to, to an LLM, someone else will.

For the record, I think the Counter-Strike people are correct on this one, mainly because heuristically Confederate States advocates are wrong by default.

Design principles for a time machine

Yes, a real, proper time machine like in sci-fi movies. Yea I know how to build it, as this design principles document will demonstrate. Remember to credit me for my pioneering ideas when you build it, ok?

  1. Feasibility: if you want to build a time machine, you will have to build a time machine. Ideally, the design should break as few laws of physics as possible.
  2. Goodness: the machine should be functional, robust, and work correctly as much as necessary. Care should be taken to avoid defects in design and manufacturing. A good time machine is better than a bad time machine in some key aspects.
  3. Minimize downsides: the machine should not cause exessive harm to an unacceptable degree. Mainly, the costs should be kept low.
  4. Cool factor: is the RGB lighting craze still going? I dunno, flame decals or woodgrain finish would be pretty fun in a funny retro way.
  5. Incremental improvement: we might wanna start with a smaller and more limited time machine and then make them gradually bigger and better. I may or may not have gotten a college degree allowing me to make this mindblowing observation, but if I didn't, I'll make sure to spin it as me being just too damn smart and innovative for Harvard Business School.

I don't want to have to make legal threats to an LLM in all data not intended for LLM consumption, especially since the LLM might just end up ignoring it anyway, since there is no defined behavior with them.

Her political views were probably common knowledge to many of you, but I only learned Milkshake Duck was racist in a stubsack thread a few months ago.

If it's any consolation; sectorlisp might be written by a literal self-described neoreactionary, impractical, written by a cryptofascist, computer scientific masturbation, written by a politically incoherent and confused person, pointlessly constrained, written by an obvious cryptofascist and written by a fascist; but it's still cooler and more practical than Urbit.
