Deeply Thrilling Telegrams
I tend to write code in layers. I get an end-to-end system working as a base layer and then I go back over the whole system and fill in the gaps with subsequent layers. I find that this is cumulatively faster than building each component piece by piece and…
LAYERING USAGE

Notice how in my DEEPTOOLS Video 3 (https://t.me/deepthrill/433) I used this layering approach from my post about layering here https://t.me/deepthrill/402 to:

first just stack the images;
then use XOR;
then a neural network;
then a webapp;
and then using famous artwork from the web.

I did it layer by layer and made sure each layer was solid before moving on to the next.

That video shows me enacting a real life example of what I wrote about here.

An alternative approach that is also aligned with the principle of layering would have been to build the entire webapp with a mere XOR blending, and move the “use a neural network” step to the end of the list.
If you lose your job to AI that’s your fault for letting your skills atrophy.

If your labor can be replaced by a machine, how useful were you really?

If your contributions to society can be better served by a robot, what value did you really provide?

I want machines picking fruit, no need for illegal immigration slave labor.

I want machines automating the ports and truck driving, no need for unions to hinder efficiency.

I want machines rendering video game worlds.

I want machines manufacturing widgets.

Forcing humans in jobs for the sake of labor and fears of unemployment slows down progress as a society.

Every single one of these examples have roles for people being creative, for handling operations, for organizing high level logistics.

And claims that AI will eventually replace even those jobs are silly because there will always be a need for human labor, if only to provide more training data for AI.

You fall behind you get left behind. Keep your skills sharp.
Under-charge and over-deliver.
But can the robots do my laundry yet?

Help, I’ve fallen into the void and can’t tell which direction is up!
Fat is just leftovers you haven’t finished eating yet.
In a meritocracy, the diversity of the engineering team doesn’t matter; all that matters is catching the fooking rocket with the fooking chopsticks.
One step closer today.
By just observing, instead of reacting, your consciousness collapses deeper layers of the quantum reality.

Heart cells grown in a Petri dish will start to self-organize and form chambers and start beating.

What is the relationship between life and self-organization?

Did molecules self-organize into amino acids which self-organized into DNA which self-organized into organs and organisms and societies etc?

What programming deep in the structure of the cells directs it to self-organize instinctively?
It’s honestly abhorrent how billionaires exploit loopholes to avoid taxes.

Also, taxation is theft so paying taxes is abhorrent as well.

DEEPTOOLS VIDEO 4:

In this 30 minute video, I use cursor to summarize today's political news with Perplexity's and ChatGPT's APIs.

While all my code worked, one issue is that the API's would randomly refuse requests to summarize paragraphs that have political content.

This focus on "safety" holds back tech development.

Regardless, it was meant to show you how to use Cursor AI to develop whatever is in your imagination.
