Borderlands is an interactive granular synthesizer. Stochastic heads play microsamples from larger samples. I never got good but the UX is delightful, this video demo gives some idea: youtube.com/watch?v=FfWSsfE1…

this is hard to avoid. you can carefully phrase a post to stay in your lane but that terminates replies. what % disclaimer is appropriate to avoid pissing off lurkers who weren’t going to share their expertise anyway?

That feeling when people on X are discussing something you've spent twenty years obsessively studying and they're all chucking more or less mangled versions of 101-level arguments at each other with 100% certainty.

fiction writers are professional consciousness simulators and their point of view on this is worth understanding.

though I’d rather hear it from a writer who was more interested in personalities than abstractions.

Speaking of GEB, my favorite talk at SPLASH this year was by @_k_a_c_h_ on Gauguin, Descartes, Bayes. Instead of constructing a quine / Gödel sentence, @_k_a_c_h_ shows how to construct a gauguine -- a probabilistic program that infers its own source code.
Gauguin, Descartes, Bayes: A Diurnal Golem’s Brain Authors: Kartik Chandra, Amanda Liu, Jonathan Ragan-Kelley, Joshua B. Tenenbaum Abstract A "quine" is a deterministic program that prints itself. In this essay, I will show you a "gauguine": a probabilistic program that infers itself. A gauguine is repeatedly asked to guess its own source code. Initially, its chances of guessing correctly are of course minuscule. But as the gauguine observes more and more of its own previous guesses, it detects patterns of behavior and gains information about its inner workings. This information allows it to bootstrap self-knowledge, and ultimately discover its own source code. We will discuss how—and why—we might write a gauguine, and what we stand to learn by constructing one.

The word “foam” is so much better than “slop”. The foam metaphor points at the real problem and almost quantifies it. Foaming is also a great verb. Sam Kriss orz

mmm, Golden Rules are definitely a cornerstone of perennial ethics and work pretty well for humans, but seem less appropriate for AI–human relations

I don't believe it's that simple. You can have the perfect combination and it falls flat because the timing is wrong. I could make the perfect 2020 meme, it wouldn't work now for example. We could abuse terminology by saying that memes are alive, they are time dependent.
