Note that my (implied) emphasis is on experience. If the experience is what is important, convenience isn’t actually what creates desire paths. Instead it’s the experience of making a personal choice to increase efficiency, of joining a club of renegades who brave the path less traveled, etc… So maybe allowing for that experience in the managed environment is another way of limiting desire paths.

I wonder if the experience of ‘shortcut’ is part of the motivation, so that as soon as you’ve established a path, what constitutes ‘shortcut’ also changes. I’d be interested to know if curved paths were more desire path-resistant, because they appeal to an intuition about adjusting (and therefore optimizing) course.

The inner monologue is thinking by ‘hearing’ your own voice ‘speaking’ in your mind. It’s the mental equivalent of literally talking to yourself.

Do people have a non metaphorical inner monologue where they physically hear thoughts?

Yes, in the sense that they hear themselves ‘voicing’ out their own thoughts. If you have the ability to form images in your mind, it’s like that, but with sound.

Would they equally write ‘mothers’ vs. ‘childless women’ in another article about remote work, I wonder.

You’d think a solar powered sugar factory would know about sugar.

Never thought about how ‘shapeshifting’ always assumes volume- and mass-shifting as well.

There’s stuff in there like shapeshifting into a hawk and then your legs break, because the bone diameter/mass-ratio is too small.

For my last install I had to remove either the SSDs or NVMEs (don’t remember which) or the installation would just fail. This was a ‘known’ issue! Fortunately haven’t had to boot it for months…

The biggest giveaway here is ChatGPT answering any question with one word without being specifically told to do so.

Like Apple’s devices, Android phones are most secure when they’ve been freshly rebooted. In this “Before First Unlock” (BFU) state, biometrics and location-based unlocking won’t work. The only way to access the device is to use the passcode or PIN. Additionally, all the data stored on the phone is encrypted in the BFU state, making retrieval and snooping much more difficult, even for law enforcement groups that have access to advanced data recovery tools.

I just have never had a Linux system that didn’t require some sort of terminal work to fix the occasional bug. A couple of updates ago Fedora left me with conflicting packages that needed the terminal to straighten out.

Ah, the new Lemmy giraffaroo?

I once searched for whale song on YouTube and got one of those.

Mating season. These guys will hump a rotten mango.

Assuming the probability of assholiness based on culture is how you treat cultures unequally.

If you agree that bad ideas can be part of cultures (large or small) to a higher or lesser degree, it follows that some cultures have a higher frequency of people with the need for the individual ‘education’ you’re suggesting.

you can’t trust its explanations as to what it has just done.

I might have had a lucky guess, but this was basically my assumption. You can’t ask LLMs how they work and get an answer coming from an internal understanding of themselves, because they have no ‘internal’ experience.

Unless you make a scanner like the one in the study, non-verbal processing is as much of a black box to their ‘output voice’ as it is to us.

And ‘assholes’ just appear at random? Nothing in these groups increases or decreases the asshole frequency? Imagine if we thought of all culture that way. Forget about progressive politics changing people’s minds and thereby their behavior. “Some people are just ‘assholes’, what are you gonna do?”
