mircea_popescu: said every obnoxious 9 yo girl having experienced insufficient ponytail pulling.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "oh look, i wrote some words down, now you gotta do what i say!!1"
mircea_popescu: what the motherfucking shit is wrong with these people.
mircea_popescu: "this book is sold subject to the condition that it won't be lent"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: punkman i just went in a cycle asking "then why the fuck are they not calling it .txt" and answering myself the line above to shinohai and now i feel a little queasy.
mircea_popescu: o yeah get shorty is good. sort of like early pulp fiction / snatch
mircea_popescu: fine example if alf's greatest fear, he wasn't nearly this derpy back before martin luther king.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: guy comes in, "hey, isn't that dog pissing in your shoe bothering you ?!"
mircea_popescu: romanian joke, for you. man sitting at desk, dog next to him pissing in his shoe.
mircea_popescu: abstraction is loss. you throw out all sorts of stuff and hope&pray that it wasn't actually needed.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: you have no fucking idea what that word means, do you.
mircea_popescu: (there's a very good reason they keep going on with cow and dog are animal. there was a great paper in the log about "you know what, just change your chosen names to hashes, see if teh system appears to be doing as much "understanding" as it did before.)
mircea_popescu: (what apparently nobody wants to mention is that the "good" oop now corrupted by teh evil orcs was really a child of desperation. pretty much born out of the mit through c-section, in the classical sense)
mircea_popescu: phf the problem with the village of ugly women is that well, there's probably something wrong with the water. yes the people now involved may be subpar for whatever reason or explanation to do with them. maybe. or maybe THIS offshot of the hope to ai is just as rotten as the rest of the various attempts to ai that preceded it.
mircea_popescu: like in "he was spirited away", "we abstracted him away"
mircea_popescu: i don't think we mean the same by abstraction. it's not a sort of cool. it's basically purification.
mircea_popescu: the fundamental point of the written word is that allows a certain sort of abstraction. it's "escapism" in a particular sense.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes he means he can talk without bothering with the annoying sorts of context.
mircea_popescu: ie, "wouldn't the strange woman in the train made a great wife"
mircea_popescu: (ie, we don't even know the sore spots of say kay objects, mostly because they never got a chance to be found mostly because idiots came and covered everything)
mircea_popescu: on top of which, i suspect there's a large chunk of "strange woman" in all this also.
mircea_popescu: shooter, the fastest runner, big league ball players, the toughest boxers. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost and never will lose a war, because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans."
mircea_popescu: "...Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. Men, all this stuff you've heard about America not wanting to fight - wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans traditionally love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle. When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble
mircea_popescu: not that this is a bad approximation in any sense. but, contiguity is too juicy to have.
mircea_popescu: it is altogether dubious that brownian motion is a stochastic process.
mircea_popescu: "i'm writing a book as a fallback plan in case i go broke". 14 yo.
mircea_popescu: or else your 5 apples delusion is crushed by the outer world supply.
mircea_popescu: either the "1000 apples" of outer world fiction is crushed by your demand,
mircea_popescu: this question is a lot less theoretical than it seems, seeing how eulora.
mircea_popescu: in general the supply side is going to be "as many btc as that community can get hands on" and the demand side will be "all the goods and services it wants to trade".
mircea_popescu: this is a question to be answered by that community neh ?
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron well that'd be a different thing then wouldn't it.
