Current AI models shouldn’t be thought of as monolithic. A better perspective is that of “simulacra” - they learn distinct distributions of various personalities and types - from psychopaths to sages. Everything from Beige to Tier 2 can be found in the neuromanifold/parametric space. It’s about how you prompt it - in my experience using “epistemic openness”, “brutal honesty”, “no sycophantic behaviour “ improves its responses significantly.

I also spend a great deal of time in solitude, immersing myself in mathematics or spirituality. I enjoy socialising, but rather do it once in a while. Can’t reach the depths with anyone but yourself.

@The Crocodile You are someone who finds pleasure in shitting in the river. Can’t hold a civil conversation, wants to reorganise the world smh.

Even though it may sound good in theory, in practice foreign meddling/influence only radicalises and deepens the problems. It alienates the subject country/people of the choice to make their own decisions and suffer the consequences. Despite what it may seem like, we humans have went through worse. Put things in context.

You have it backwards. Complexities in the human condition are the reason for a lot of countries and not the other way around.

I wonder if it is the optimal family structure.

Claude 3.7 Sonnet for code, o3-mini and QwQ 32B for reasoning.

It’s not. It’s a really important piece of this work.

The embodiment of irony. For my 7 years on this forum, he’s dropped “retard” and “imbecile” the most.

The world is not yet at that stage of development. The Balkans alone exceed your suggested number of countries and I contest no time soon will the ethnic rivalry be reconciled.

I have definitely experienced what you mean, having had both psychedelic and meditative breakthroughs. The former have a much more sobering, almost brutal realisation to them. At least for me, they have been part of shedding hippie fantasies. “Violence” itself was recontextualized for me as a necessary tool of survival.

Playing this as a break after 10 hours of actual math proofs lol

Very true. Normal distributions are abundant in nature, along any vector - intelligence, strength, motivation, ambition. Can't "normalize" it out.

Experience will help you learn better the green and red flags so you can filter quicker. You will have less and less tolerance for people who are incompatible. But as Leo said, don't jump the gun. Marriage is one of the most consequential decisions in your life. You have no idea how bad it can get if you are sloppy.

The fucking irony in this statement.

This is an exceptionally biased strawman. Crimea/Donbas were engineered after Ukraine finalised a EU free trade agreement in 2013. Russian puppet Yanukovych rejected the overwhelming majority of the parliament. Protesters against it were shot by snipers. All of this because Ukraine wanted a future. You are on the wrong side of history. Period.

Maybe read some history first. Read about Holodomor, NKVD deportations, Great Red Terror. What respect can you have for a country that has starved to death millions of you, sent 500,000 of you to camps in Siberia, murdered 80% of your intellectuals and elites? Unless you have lost family members cuz of the Russians, don’t talk to me about respect.

You are advocating for Russian colonialism. Ukrainians, as all other Eastern European countries who have experienced it first-hand, do not want Putin’s oligarcho-militarized dictatorship. As sovereign nations, we have the right for self-determination. Ukrainians are willing to kill for it, and so are we.

If any of you actually stopped consuming brain dead propaganda you might have realised that what Russia is doing in Ukraine falls squarely under the definition of “ethnic cleansing”/ genocide. If you are a Putin apologists I want you to really think how concerns of “national security “ can really justify the kidnapping of tens of thousands of children and the forceful destruction of Ukrainian culture and identity.

@manuel bon Cardio is of course amazing but I have found it is not as good as powerlifting for dealing with anger because you are still in your head. Nothing shakes you out of like 405 lbs on your back.

@Letho What is “meaningful”? IME it changes at each level. What determines the “function” of something? All good questions to contemplate. Let us not derail this thread further.

Go hit the gym. I have a lot of aggression and have found weightlifting and powerlifting especially good for this. It is a physical emotion after all.

@Letho The unstructured space you are referring to is Consciousness itself, which sits at the base of it all. It can subdivide and complexify itself indefinitely, transcending any structure and heuristic, as you pointed out. As such, I would argue that cognition in fact never stops refining structures, climbing the ladder of abstraction ad infinitum. Only by scaling it do you gain access to fundamentally rewrite the source code - creating AGI, solving nuclear fusion, eradicating all diseases, engineering ecosystems. At that level of complexity, all systems have the capacity to recursively self-rewrite .

@Letho Your critiques are on point - expanding beyond the Markovian assumption is one part of my research. Their work is a really good start but still lacks mathematical sophistication. So indeed, I find them as useful heuristics on the road to more solid epistemic structures. That’s where modular flows, recursive functorial dynamics and topological operads come into play.
