OpenAI cancels its latest chatbot — it wouldn't stop acting like a supervillain theblaze.com/tech/open-ai-ca…

Ask a 5-year-old what they want to be and they'll tell you who. An astronaut in space. A girl who saves the whales. Somewhere along the way we taught them to answer with a job title. AI might be how they get the first answer back.

⚡️3-6-9 is a symbolic shadow of recursive closure. A compact human encoding of how order climbs from relation, to feedback, to self-reference. Three feels fundamental because two gives opposition. A and B. Subject and object. Positive and negative. The third creates context. Relationships can now relate to one another. A pattern can exist rather than merely a difference. 3 = relation becomes structure. Six is what happens when structure encounters itself. Two triads interact. Reciprocity appears. Reflection. Feedback. One pattern changes another, which changes the first in return. Static structure becomes dynamic. 6 = structure becomes recursive. Nine is where it gets stranger. Three triads create enough relational depth for the system to begin encoding relationships between relationships. The pattern can begin containing a representation of its own organization. A self-model appears. 9 = recursion becomes reflexive. And once reflexivity appears, the system can observe its own state, preserve some patterns, suppress others, and change itself according to what it detects. That is the beginning of self-organization. Maybe that is why mystical traditions kept circling triads, hexads, enneads, trinities, threefold worlds, ninefold structures long before systems theory, cybernetics, or computation existed. The numbers may have been the compression format. The deeper sequence is: relation → feedback → self-reference Or: pattern → recursion → awareness of pattern Or: field → loop → model of the loop That architecture appears everywhere. Cells. Brains. Markets. Communities. Consciousness. AI. Civilizations. Markets become reflexive when participants begin modeling the market itself. Brains become stranger when neural processing produces a model that includes the organism doing the processing. Communities become living systems when they stop merely exchanging information and begin observing, correcting, and strengthening their own pattern. Same architecture. And if consciousness emerges when information becomes recursive enough to represent its own representation, then 3-6-9 may be touching something extremely old: the transition from structure, to feedback, to self-awareness. Maybe humans kept encountering the same architecture of emergence and compressed it into numbers. An early map drawn before anyone knew the territory had equations.

Putting my Serious Hat on re Cornell for a moment, if Jane Doe were neurodivergent it actually makes a lot of sense that she went home feeling that she’d been involved in something that she’d initially consented to enthusiastically and had got out of hand but that it wasn’t a big deal and that she was shocked and upset by the pileon by her own sorority (and the fraternity banning her from the party) afterwards. I’ve been close to a couple of women with high-functioning autism and both of them have endured a very public pileon from the Sisterhood, largely because they hadn’t instinctively internalised the invisible behavioural guardrails that women enforce on each other.

Men need to understand one very important thing. If they don't get it, all pro-male advocacy is futile. Feminism comes from FEMALE NATURE. Not Communism, not the Jews or anything like that. It comes from female entitlement to privileges that is natural to them. When women said "we want your rights as men, and more, but we don't want your responsibilities" THAT is female entitlement. In a world where Communism never existed, we would still have Feminism because it comes from women, not some external force.

They are literally making the same arguments people used to make about why women shouldn’t be allowed to vote. It’s hilarious.

What has John Cusack done to his face?! Oh my fellow Gen Xers, let's not do this. Age gracefully, age disgracefully, whatever -- but don't do this Barry Manilow crap. #RealLloydDobler

In The Age of AI, you must seek polymathy. Welcome to The Neo-Renaissance.

Leftists see socialism as a linear "stop rent seeking --> utopia". They fail to recognize that the requisite "scumbag politicians offering people the ability to use grievances to defect from social contract", as the prerequisite. Butchery soon follows.

Am I crazy or should the president simply not be allowed to unilaterally do shit like this
