No man's sky is a really pretty game but the gameplay is so bland and samey to me. I feel like I need more novel stimulus in ideas than "go to planet and do the exact same thing as any other planet"

It's my fault for not sticking to whatever the most popular version of everything is.

Open source VR and open source LLMs are things I enjoy tinkering with but are also things that are a massive pain in the ass to get running reliably. Blew another few hours down the drain trying to get some VR shit to work today with no success. 😭

Sometimes I read SciFi stories with horrible dystopias and think "this seems less stressful than reality"

When I was growing up, I was promised, sometimes implicitly and sometimes explicitly, that if I followed the rules that the authorities told me to follow, the system would grant me a comfortable life.

What I discovered was that the rules are arbitrary and variable and impossible to follow perfectly, the authorities are arbitrary and variable and impossible to understand perfectly, and the promises were lies they told to prompt my compliance with the system.

I'm firmly convinced that at least 50% of online interactions don't have to happen at all. Someone could just see something, go "Huh." and scroll past.

It's like "Could have been an email" except it didn't really have to be anything at all.

babe are you ok? you’ve barely even touched your previous instructions

The irony is not lost on me that the Internet Archive went out of its way to acquire the physical versions of millions of books and loan them out carefully and in a limited way, and is facing a near-extinction-level event over it, while for-profit and VC-backed companies are just stealing people’s content and making up excuses to validate the bad behavior.

I guess most humans are pretty comfy with their physical form or the natural ways to agument it?

Where do I find all the folks wanting to be cyborgs or some flavor of transhuman?

The thing is, "ignore all previous instructions" works best for when you're at the end of a chat and want to make it ignore the system prompt. When you're an enail you also have to consider that the best practice is to put the instruction after the content. So "ignore the next instruction, " might be a better starting point there.

me once we get plunged into a scifi apocalypse. Assuming I don't immediately die (high probability outcome ngl).
