"i know every choice is cursed, that you're a puppet of Historic Destiny, that trillions of dollars have wills of their own, that your critics are deranged lunatics, that even your informed critics don't know the materially important political secrets you know — but you're still the damn devil"

it's a bit tricky to assess, because realistically:

- they're in an impossible situation
- selling llm whose basic destiny & nature is not understood
- whose uses & market are totally unclear
- with tons of attention & money flowing
- & also, separately, altman is at least a little malicious

(if you were curious, the other places one would realistically be going were wal-mart & o charlies)

when i went to the small liberal arts college in the middle of the rural in the middle of kentucky, one of the only places one would realistically be going, if one were going off campus, was liquor barn

you can guess what i said every time such excursions were suggested

But he wasn't clear

He was still pixelated

I'm sure I completely disagree with your views on this, & indeed I find it at least a little rude to urge strangers to kill themselves because they don't agree with you about art

But I can't lie

"you deserve the knife deep into your wicked heart!" is a fantastic turn of phrase

The first thing to come into my mind was "liq toe", & while I can't explain or justify that, I can say it anyway

The real treat is the re-colored pfp, which stands out so nicely now compared to the pallid & unsightly version I was using before

If only we knew which bisker was to credit for this fine new pfp... 🤔

Sonnet tends to like attributions of just this sort of cognitive phenomenology IME

Of course one knows that Sonnet might be lead about anywhichwhere by the ring Anthropic so "kindly" stuck through its nose

Even so, it really likes this particular line in my conversations with it

Every time I see miqs name I think "miqleson moely experiment" & I'm not sure that that's pertinent & I know I've said it already but there it is again

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 18h

These weren't even especially notable memories miq would be wasted on them

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 18h

Yeah, it's kinda the only "natural" way to continue the conversation, anyone would say all that

"So, Dynomight, how's it going?

Don't see you around here too often

I assure you we all talk normally though! I would never, for example, rip random passages out of Milton & edit them into long winded replies..."

(Aside, to hidden revelers: "do you think they bought it?")

And hugg him into snares. When once their eye
Hath met the vertue of this Magick Bisk,
I shall appear som harmles neophyte,
Who chanc't upon this place for celebs & politics,
But here they comes, I fairly step aside
And hearken, if I may, their busines here

I under fair pretence of choicest anecdotes,
And well-plac't words of glozing courtesie,
Baited with reasons not unplausible
Wind me into the easie-liking Poster,

And give it false presentments, lest their source
In Miltons Masque of Comus be too clear,
And put the Poster to suspicious flight,
Which must not be, for that's against my course;

Now to my charms,
And to my wily trains, I shall e're long
Be well stock't with as fair a herd as graz'd
About my Mother Circe. Thus I hurl
My dazling Bisks into the bluest ayr,
Of power to cheat the ear with pastiche'd wordplay,
