Loved reading @moudhy.bsky.social :s "Between two rivers". An especially nice surprise was to find mention of a chance encounter w. Irving Finkel, who is the reason why I have been reading up on Mesopotamian history in my downtime.

Some explicitly say the AI recommended they contact us. That makes sense, the models scrape our work and cite us as a reputable source, so the AI has inadvertently become part of the referral pathway for people spiralling down a rabbit hole.

The bigger change is presentation, historically, these emails were visually chaotic: sudden colour changes, ALL CAPS, screenshots pasted at random. Classic signs of disordered thinking. Now they’re neat, structured, and grammatically consistent. The delusion hasn't changed, but the formatting has.

Also: Parents (often aristocrats) giving their firstborn son the same name as themselves generation after generation. There's a certain amount of due diligence genealogy I'm prepared to but goddamnit
ME: *writing in my journal with the sole aim of pissing off future historians and archaeologists* I returned to my home - which is built in the usual style - by the normal way, and prepared and ate dinner in the way I often but not always do

Amfetamiinijohdannaiset, bentsot, unilääkkeet, opiaatit, mitä näitä nyt oli. Ja ennen kaikkea sellainen yhteiskunta, jossa yksilön pitää takoa rahaa aivan helvetisti välttääkseen kodittomuuden ja täyden putoamisen kaiken ulkopuolelle. Mutta hei, se on sitä vapautta.

when I call the AI true believers a doomsday cult, it's because they are literally a doomsday cult. Here's a great writeup from @bcmerchant.bsky.social who somehow found himself at one of the LessWrong AI doomsday cult conferences in Nov 2024.

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow.
The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

Suomessa myös työskentelee pohjoismaalaisittain pieni osuus työvoimasta julkisella sektorilla. Vain Islannissa osuus on pienempi. Erityisen outoa tämä on ottaen huomioon vanhemman ikärakenteemme. 4/
