like obviously I can't measure counterfactual growth so sure maybe they should've been at 100k by now but—could this be an oft repeated urban legend that's conflated with something like "posting into the void excessively signals bots but mass interactions + responses isn't deboosted?" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

genuine question: is this even true with the new algo anymore? was it ever? I believe I've seen examples of 'spam posting' and the account had a healthy 10k+ follower regime and hadn't 'dropped off' in any noticeable manner. clearly not a bot, just a lot of words being generated

choice context to free up other processing modes before being purged, or necessarily contain deeper embeddings—eg surfacing a board state preloads all evaluation pointers for nearby states, shortcuts search processing required at each step—but probably these aren't mutually exclusive and both happen

(lol thinking about this a little more, this is basically a meaningless question because the answer is always yes to both? like there's guaranteed to be more because there must be an analysis layer over visual states. meant to question whether visuals are some multiplexing offloader that compresses

I'm vaguely aware that rogan's comedian network has a string of popular podcasts that are in the ~10m oom follower ballparks but I've neither the names (theo von comes to mind; there are multiple others (??)) nor connections at hand. nevertheless, I hold on to these unfounded claims resolutely

that to his awareness might be surfaced as ~smooth board state transitions or whatever, but objectively imply the Important Computation is happening elsewhere

ah nice thanks, this got ejected from memory. 2d representation, he claims; though interestingly given his overarching oft repeated "my skill is intuition" claim, I wonder if there's actually more neurosymbolic [?] processing (non-visual board transitions, jump diffusion bt/w pattern adjacencies)

my schizo conspiracy model is that in the black pod market, lex has become the sponsored entrypoint for midtier celebrities (magnus being a prime example: The Most Famous Man In Chess as the Brownest Lemur equivalent; great but how many care?). after Lex he did land Rogan (though multi-year gap)

podcasts in ~sci/tech with a very large viewership. if you feel you (the star) wish to appeal to this demographic, where else would you go?

honestly I'm not sure there's more to it than viewership + financial incentives. not sure if you're aware of his story but effectively getting gud with Elon + branching on that network appears to have cemented him in good stead. beyond that standard first mover adv; one of the few

good point though I like to think the effect is universal though diffusive - perhaps the viewer only gets a second degree dose, but this newfound ability to listen for sustained periods has little else in the way of explanation

the Lex-Levin arbitrage was a great source of alpha in the early 2000s, though unfortunately this has long since been eroded out by low latency thought leader outfits with colocated racks inside google datacenters

I'm afraid the signalling only works if we precommit a shared secret. I'm one of the slower Byzantine generals, too, so I'd ask for your patience in this trying time (my life)
