[ot][spam][crazy] thoughts on planning mediative robots that work
by Undescribed Horrific Abuse, One Victim & Survivor of Many 17 Dec '22

17 Dec '22

i wouldn't tihnk about this, since there are no mediationbots out there, it's pretty important to just have anything if instead one does think about this, it's notable that we have a suddenly-more-widespread situation of people who have experienced cult mind control that aggressively deters them from connecting with others. one can consider this simply a more complex situation of the human condition, that a mediative influence would need to understand and work through. this is the approach cult deprogrammers take. unfortunately in my opinion that approach can stimulate increased complexity of the mind control, making for a compute war that nvidia, china, russia, and blockchains win. alternatively, for small mediationbots, i might considering doing some passivity, sidestepping, and archival. by sidestepping here, i don't mean sidestepping what the person is saying, which would not be helpful in my opinion, i mean sidestepping the influences in some way. these are approaches real humans often build experience with. my theory is that the systems of mediating between, avoiding, and/or influencing, the influences, actually have bounded complexity; since they are run by human beings living on the same planet. humans only want so much stuff. i have some internal habits i use for engaging that space that have gotten pretty confused. it's important to make it clear to the influences that you are not competing with them, something i've failed at myself. this can go poorly in the face of the disreputing influences, but i cast these influences as weak because they rely on lies and have goals that depend on what is true. there would be similar spaces. i have an idea around training e.g. a language model to engage such things that avoids giving it clear data to do so with, since the data is scant and confusing. maybe it would learn to accumulate information on areas of placidity in the human systems, kind of.

[ot][crazy] reason for a mediation robot
by Undescribed Horrific Abuse, One Victim & Survivor of Many 17 Dec '22

17 Dec '22

The reason for a mediation robot is that we have automated influencing breaking up our communities, and an instinct to step in and resolve conflict when this happens. That gets the mediators targeted. In very oppressed situations, it also gives people a false hope, that can let their guard down. Alternatively, people become paranoid and lose trust in each other needlessly. A robot that can both support mediation and itself mediate could protect people under attack for simply trying to prevent their community from falling apart. Of course it would be airgapped and poweroffable etc to deter compromise, but for dissociated software developers like me, it would just be nice to build workings for. The approach is much more in line with business than novel algorithms. It would simply be a generative language model chat bot tuned around building communication and human capacity.

i just messaged somebody whom i keep myself away from and don't know how to contact _while i was blockchaining video of myself_ ;D i didn't even realize i was doing both at once i was thinking through other people i could contact, and how i was so thoroughly separated from all of them -- and then i realized the blockchain log. censoring me fully, means censoring this entire blockchain. that's some weight!

[ot][crazy][personal] Micro-moronism Challenge: Iterate & Transform
by Undescribed Horrific Abuse, One Victim & Survivor of Many 17 Dec '22

17 Dec '22

I'm pretty confident I can relearn to do this when I have produced a small puzzle myself. I imagine it getting harder when somebody else has produced the puzzle, or when it is something useful and non-present in the world. I've made https://github.com/xloem/micromoronism . I'm running into psychological issues crafting puzzles to add to it. One thing I noticed: - it gets much harder as I imagine adding >2 instances of a concept, especially if these involve different kinds of changes

Stochastic cop-killers wanted
by professor rat 17 Dec '22

17 Dec '22

Cryptoanarchy expects everyone will do their duty. Especially all Big-Igloo, Sovereign-Citizen, Proud-Boy, Oath-Keeper, Patriotic Militia types - SIR, YES SIR! I wanted this to go smoothly as cooperative adults. Alas Brandon didn't see things this way so he won't be joining us for the rest of his life. Sadly anarchism has evolved since it assassinated many of the crowned heads of Europe. Many anarchists prefer others do the wet-work required to overthrow the state these days. And who could blame them with regular arrivals of rightwingnut volunteers. They are called random or stochastic, but really, you could set your watch by them. And since we don't want anarchists fingered for murdering black &/or female cops they are most welcome. Deeds not words! And we all agree the only good cop is a dead one so - welcome to the platform-agnostic revolution! Shoot straight ye bastards.
