A chat with Claude
Here is a chat I had with Claude 3 opus. I am finding it quite helpful for research and would recommend for conceptual work and education purposes. I didn't really have a goal in mind with this chat but started with comparing Michael Levin and John Vervaeke's work. From here I continued on to create...

Re: Mastermind Group #2: Electric Boogaloo
Books and other materials help with defining and contextualizing the system. Note that there are really several related systems that roughly all point in the same direction. Some having more moving parts than others. To really embrace these systems, try to imagine yourself as an anthropologist in ev...

Re: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta
There is no system that makes us this way, there is no direction that evolution points us. Though if you stop here then you explain nothing about where we have been and might be headed. Evolution is random at the level of genetic mutation but there are other ways to look at what an organism is. The...

Re: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta
Evolution happens; Involution deals with what happens as it unfolds through goal alignment. An external view of an embodied creature reveals no goals but may tell a story of how the creature became what it is. An internal view of an embodied creature reveals goals through rationality which can be de...

Re: 4th, 5th, 6th Person Perspective
I was coming at it more from the perspective of a deal with an agency to find the skilled people you are talking about. The agencies I am thinking of link up skilled people that do not work in the traditional corporate environment with companies that require skilled labor on a project-by-project bas...

Re: 4th, 5th, 6th Person Perspective
Sorry for the misunderstanding. Just curious about your thoughts and attempting to help. There seems to be a tension between big ambitions for mods of mods, etc. and staying small. I just presumed that a steady flow of willing workers that are perhaps already living semi-ERE like could help build ou...

Re: 4th, 5th, 6th Person Perspective
I wouldn't even know where to start. Perhaps making a deal with a staffing agency could get the ball rolling? The staffing industry has had a hard time matching supply to demand but software in this industry is maturing.

Re: Gaming/virtual economies (EVE online)
Right, so by default civilization collapses in on itself fighting over natural resources. Though if virtual resources are always expanding then maybe comparative advantage keeps competitive advantage in check for a while. No barbarians at the gate. In other words, give the wannabe conquerors some se...

Re: "How to Drop Out"
Because orgies and drugs weren't sign enough in the 70's right?
Or maybe humans are becoming less useful for supporting humans. There are still plenty of humans that want to continue doing human scale stuff.

Re: Gaming/virtual economies (EVE online)
There is also the flip side of success by not doing something you shouldn't. Like don't try to implement a top-down city street plan without doing some traffic simulations first.

Re: Gaming/virtual economies (EVE online)
With generative language models and various other techniques, it is becoming more feasible to automate the pipeline from virtualization to reality (i.e. in both directions). More people can now program computer models through very expressive yet less precise channels. Virtual constraints that are ea...

Re: Gaming/virtual economies (EVE online)
You intuit how the evolution of our species is intimately bound up in the the war between the grasses and the trees, because you have participated in it with profound inefficiency. A similar intuition across a range of different "battle" lines can be developed in gaming when not aiming fo...

Re: Gaming/virtual economies (EVE online)
To come back to the subject, asmongold recently talked about how the unpenetrable barrier beetween life and video games was one of its main appeal. And i think he was onto something. Totally agree. I think this is a great thing because if simulation can never replace reality, then science will fore...

Re: Gaming/virtual economies (EVE online)
I think it is worth noting that if you take the perspective that the universe is natural then our collective conception of what counts at nature is expanding as the light from distant galaxies catches up with us! With technology we have been able to sense more of the universe both on the macro level...

Re: Love and DIY [Candide]
But Smith is right that we are under stimulated. On the level of senses, most do not get enough feeling with hands or the rest of the skin (breezes, warmth, cold), not enough smell, or even taste. But those could be taken care of by technology or the spending of money, I suppose. But what technolog...

Re: Gaming/virtual economies (EVE online)
True. The key is to make games educational without vibing educational. A big part of this is not forcing facts on people but rather immerse them into a world or system with subtle curiosity trails aligning with truth, goodness, and beauty. Realism is building up in competitive game lineages with tim...
