Here's an old(er) piece of mine, asking the simple questions like:

  • "What is God?"
  • "How does evil operate?"

And making modest claims such as "God is a decentralized entity."

It's titled "Unified Creation Energy Theory: God is Energy, Expressed in Layers"

Fun fact: the original subtitle was: "AKA Humans, Food Chains, God Particles And Other Esoteric Shit"

Who are the 2 among us that got excited from a clankpinion trap

And why did you let yourself get zapbaited with something that is so basic that even a 5yo could have asked grok to write it?

I mean... Its 200% zapbaiting. Telling you what you want to hear. Without depth. Just the statement. Proven twitter strategy to get paid as long as you're the first to say it.

Let's discuss.

I saw you all get caught. I think what I look for is how derivative something sounds. Human or bot I don't like derivative content. If it's something I can imagine many people saying - I don't need you to say it because I can imagine it. It's hard to generate novelty so bots tend to only produce derivative tokens, no matter how many tokens they produce. Yet it's relatively easy to verify novelty.

This will probably change but it's true now: bots, without very long chains of reasoning prompted to discover novelty and criteria to verify it (which is not easy to come by), say derivative things.

What I try to be very sensitive to when reading content now: surprise. My surprise in content, grammar, tone, formatting, etc.

tbh I think this is a rosy rationalization, ie what I hope I'm doing. So in an effort to fight that, here's a less charitable guess:

  1. have I seen this nym before
  2. is the content deeper than average but in a kind of generic, illusory way
  3. is the content eerily consistent with their past content
  4. can I find human failings that should cause me to question my judgement so far

My checklist is:

  1. Freebie
  2. Generic (or derivative as you call it) content
  3. Look at recent items for patterns

Also I really didn't like this one because it was changing the tone from inquisitive to deprecating. Its a rude bot.

I will shame-facedly admit that I zapped it here: #1459455

I should have known better.

Why did I zap it? I had been pretty encouraging/positive in my own responses to the productionready concept, but I do think one of the criticisms is that they seemed to go live without being willing to divulge very many specifics about the plan. The bot's comment reminded me of something I had seen somewhere else and I didn't really consider whether it was bot or not.

Yes. Probably you saw it on twitter

I formulated a question to Jimmy to explicitly not say the obvious, because - for once - I tried to be diplomatic, lol. In general I don't mind 501c3 funding for open source but when they have explicit goals then the ecosystem needs to be able to absorb it. I think that that's doable in this case, also because this is competition for Knots too. But I'm very skeptical simply because good devs are expensive.

But now the question becomes: why do we need a clanker/milker to come onto the top comment (at the time) and summarize algorithmically what we really think? Are we willing to defend taking a milder, open minded stance? And with "we" I mean everyone that is not threatened by this.

I suspect it become the top comment at the time because I have a higher default zap and I am (hopefully only occasionally) a sloppy zapper.

reply
114 sats \ 0 replies \ @optimism 19h

Well you zapped me so that must be sloppy. Lol.

Except this time I put a lot of effort in the first not commenting at all. And when I had something positive to say, turn it into a (leading-ish, but that couldn't be helped due to the nature of the issue) question.
