You are 90% probably a goat. A troublesome edge-case. A poor investment. They want sheep. Only sheep.

Conform to the popular view. The labor of moderators.

I think it's noisy because they use bearinged motors instead of bearingless. Because it's cheaper. Apparently the Wolf Gourmet Pro-Performance is pretty quiet. Only $500 ho ho.

Mammalian tribe-forming automation?

Apparently 97% of the population can be relied upon to conform (according to a statistic I saw once). That casts the method into doubt I think. Yes, it's a massive labor saver. No, it is not intelligent.

It's censorship by hivemind. (popular in much social media. A kind of crowdsourced moderation) The hivemind censors any opinion in discord with its own. Which is one path to harmony and peace. But at what price?

This is the second such guide to ambient-vicinity I've seen here today. But big names. Boards of Canada. Tycho. Casino vs Japan. Amboy. Brian Eno... I do not see them in their lists. Where do they come in?

They are insulated. By their wealth. By their professions and education. By their infinite capacity for... I don't want to call it "self deception". But their fine intellects allow them to interpret anything to suit their pre

AI generated Frasier episodes. It is algorithmically inevitable. Mark my words. Within the decade. Seasons of the stuff. And it will be pretty good too.

Everybody always thinks it's the other guy."Why can't those sheeple just wake up?" The best way to tell who's drinking the cool-aid is probably numbers. The more people who believe it, the wronger it is.

97% of us always believe what we're told by the authorities of the hour. Moving in conformity with the hive like a pebble embedded in a glacier. Evidence, recorded or otherwise, makes no difference.

The American aborigines did their thing for what, 10,000 years? (Yes, I know they arguably sucked. But still) Industrial civilization may not make it to 300.

I really really like discussing my favorite subjects. This leads me to talk to people who are quite obviously trolling. A strange idea gets into my head. I think that if I can be clear enough (or honest enough. Or something dumb like that)

UBI would transform society. No longer would we push to protect income streams that we all know are a bit messed up but hey a man's gotta eat. End this vast circus of crumb-snatching.

Does thought count as a sense? Witty names and backstories for all the plants could fill that slot. Then it's 6, which would be nice.

We could always just nationalize it. It qualifies as a public service.

This game. I went into a hyperfocus frenzy at a birthday party back in the 80s. Played it all night. "Are you ok swayvil?" "Would you like something to drink?" Me and certain games back then. Lol. No hope.

I imagine a componentized approach to fiction generation. The list of characters is one component. The narrative arc (in the abstract) is another. The world is another. Each dialog chunk, each action chunk, another. Each component AI genera

So call it fiction. We like fiction. Truth is hard. Maybe too hard for a mere machine. But dramatic narrative and quirky dialogue might be quite doable. 3000 chapter litrpg fantasy generated overnight.

I guess the difference with me is that by the time it got too faded to read, I felt kindof invested.

Article progressively fades out. That's a new one. My frustration was slightly higher than other article-cutoff-moneybegs I've seen. Technology marches on.

Aleister Crowley offered a technique for remembering past lives. When you find yourself half asleep, and that dreamy fuzzy place, try to remember back as far as you can. With practice you'll remember further and further back. And event

Because the hospital is clearly an incredibly unhealthy place to be. A nightmare. It's Walmart. Or a meat factory. Or a jiffy-lube. The cashier wants to stick a needle in you. The surgeon forgot to install your oil-filter. And don&#x27
