In the absence of big problems, people shift their worries to smaller ones. In the absence of small problems, they focus on petty or even imaginary ones:

«But while LLMs connect us to information, they don’t connect us to people. Instead of engaging with a real person, you’re interacting with a digital version of their thoughts—a representation built from data. It’s efficient, but it lacks the nuance of a true human conversation. In many ways, this makes interactions more efficient, but it also makes them feel more distant. LLMs reflect back the collective intelligence of humanity, but they lack the thing that makes communication deeply meaningful. Now, you can ask a question and get an answer within seconds. It’s a kind of democratization, where anyone with access to these tools can engage with high-level knowledge without the traditional barriers of education or expertise. But this democratization comes with its own set of challenges. Just as the internet made it possible for anyone to publish content, LLMs can pull from sources that are unverified or misleading. They amplify not just the best knowledge, but also the noise. The key to using LLMs effectively is learning how to navigate this noise, how to critically evaluate the responses we receive and separate valuable insights from misleading information.»

«In this letter to the White House (PDF link), OpenAI makes the case for its use of copy­righted mate­rial for AI training. In a sec­tion titled Pro­moting the Freedom to Learn, the company writes: > OpenAI’s models are trained to not replicate works for consumption by the public. Instead, they learn from the works and extract patterns, linguistic structures, and contextual insights. This means our AI model training aligns with the core objectives of copyright and the fair use doctrine, using existing works to create something wholly new and different without eroding the commercial value of those existing works.» openai-response-ostp-nsf-rfi-notice-request-for-information-on-the-development-of-an-artificial-intelligence-ai-action-plan.pdf

«What’s particularly ironic is that today’s Google has become exactly what its founders warned against in their 1998 paper: an advertising company whose business model fundamentally conflicts with serving users’ needs. I remember when Sergey Brin and Larry Page first articulated their vision. I was introduced to them by one of their professors. Their clarity of purpose then makes today’s muddle all the more striking.» > The goals of the advertising business model do not always correspond to providing quality search to users. … we expect that advertising funded search engines will be inherently biased towards the advertisers and away from the needs of the consumers. … But we believe the issue of advertising causes enough mixed incentives that it is crucial to have a competitive search engine that is transparent and in the academic realm. > Sergey Brin and Larry Page, 1998

«Миядзаки пиарит Duskbloods в гостях у Nintendo. Что сказал: — Да, PvPvE с заходами на 8 человек и упором на мультиплеер, но можно играть одному. — Нет, компания не собирается бросать сингловые игры; Миядзаки говорит, что формат Duskbloods дает интересные возможности для геймдизайна. — Есть хаб, кастомизация/билдострой, основные цели в сессии и второстепенные. — Есть ”личные цели” — например, одному игрока нужно охотиться на второго или наоборот, помочь ему. — Судя по всему, формат у сессии будет разниться: есть подсчет очков, условия выигрыша типа last man standing; случайные события тоже будут. В играх Фромов, начиная с Demon’s Souls, всегда был какой-то сетевой компонент геймплея. Тенденции мира в Demon’s Souls, недоделанные и в итоге забытые ковенанты в Dark Souls, послания, жесты, резонанс чудес, крабы-вагранты и так далее. Многие из них были реализованы либо в каком-то черновом виде (тенденции), либо срабатывали как разовый wtf-момент для редкого игрока (за примерно 1000 часов первой Dark Souls я видел примерно 5 вагрантов). В те редкие моменты, когда эти идеи накладывались друг на друга, палитра опыта с этими играми резко расширялась, что хорошо — видимо, и Миядзаки до сих пор видит в этих черновиках какой-то потенциал.»

«Dark Souls — оправдание консерватизма, так как серия игр показывает благородную стойкость последних истинных королей перед лицом всеобщего варварства, вырождения и демонизации. Dark Souls — критика консерватизма, так как серия игр демонстрирует упрямство реакционных сил в попытке удержать мир от заложенных в него изменений. Dark Souls — отрицание прогресса, так как проклятая петля цикла не подлежит адекватному преодолению. Dark Souls — отказ от модернизма, так как типично модерновая стратегия романтического бездейственного бунта в гниющем и безнравственном мире раскрыта с однозначным презрением. Dark Souls — критика ингуманизма, который являет собой наиболее показательную хронику преступлений над человеческой природой. Dark Souls — оправдание трансгуманизма, который является единственным способом минимизировать страдания через выход за границу человеческого бытия. Dark Souls — прославление индивидуализма и бунта одиночек, но игроки все равно не любят вторую часть, поэтому ее метод борьбы с проклятием подвергается сомнению. Dark Souls — критика современной экономики страданий. Dark Souls — оправдание олигархического накопления, при котором один герой имеет право на бесконечное количество душ. Dark Souls — подрыв гуманистических учений изнутри, так как изнанкой любого человека всегда является безмозглый зомби. Dark Souls — оправдание любой формы мистического антинатализма. Dark Souls унижает любую идею.»

О пользе трения/сопротивления в жизни Here are few cases where introducing friction is good depending on your goals: — To reduce your social media addiction, you can introduce friction. For instance, don’t place your phone beside your bed while sleeping. If you’re planning to be out for a few hours, refrain from taking your phone with you. If you’re traveling, place your phone in a way that makes it inconvenient to get and use it. — You enjoy brewing coffee, and the ritual makes you happy. In this case, you don’t want to automate your workflow. You’ll get a manual hand grinder, a stove kettle, and brew your coffee slowly. It won’t be as easy as pushing a button using a Nespresso or similar machines, but the idea is the ritual bringing your joy every single time. — Go the extra mile and opt for walking or cycling to your destination instead of driving or taking the subway. The friction engages you in physical activity, fosters interactions with your community and surroundings, and potentially leads to new discoveries. — This might be controversial, but having kids can be put here. Parents who really want kids will enjoy every minute of it, but kids bring also a ton of friction into your life. Nothing will be easy. There will be sacrifices. But it’s something that might make you proud and happy. And give you a purpose in your life. — Everyone loves good food. Especially those with heavy carbs, sugar, and whatsoever. But a lot of these carb-loaded foods will also make you gain weight over time unless you exercise. If you’re overweight, you need to, for example, eat under your daily calorie requirements. The only way to do this is with a strict diet, meaning adding friction to your life. Changing habits, eating less, and not buying your favorite food are all challenges, but it’s worth adding some friction for some period to make feel you better.

The secret to archery is to know when to stop resisting change and simply let it occur. Researchers have found that our resistance to change is rooted in at least four sources: routine seeking (a preference for boredom over surprise), emotional reaction to imposed change (stress aversion), a short-term focus (seeing change as a hassle of adjustment), and cognitive rigidity (a reluctance to rethink things). The productive nonresistance means effortless effort, meaning to cease to focus consciously on trying to hit the target and — in something akin to a “flow state” — to lose yourself in the process of shooting. In other words, to become indifferent to performing correctly at each stage; to dissolve into a state of nonjudgmental absorption in the complete action. https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2003-99635-011?hidden=true
