my problem is to find what constraint do I voluntarily bind myself to, so reality can push back hard enough to generate signal?
map is not territory
speed is useless if wrong
details can trap you
reality evaluation rate is ceiling

The failure modes to actively defend against
Vibe capture: believing the most aesthetically compelling narrative.
Status drift: values quietly replaced by what gets applause.
Simulation lock-in: living inside model outputs with no ground truth.
Metric worship: letting proxies define reality.
Option addiction: refusing commitments, then calling it freedom".

stay close to reality, bind yourself to commitments, demand verification, protect your attention, and let taste be the selector

Conformal Defects in Neural Network Field Theories
Neural Network Field Theories (NN-FTs) represent a novel construction of arbitrary field theories, including those of conformal fields, through the specification of the network architecture and...

Escaping the Verifier: Learning to Reason via Demonstrations
Training Large Language Models (LLMs) to reason often relies on Reinforcement Learning (RL) with task-specific verifiers. However, many real-world reasoning-intensive tasks lack verifiers, despite...
reality is really weird as fuck, it is crazy that it is this mathematical, it pretends to be chaotic, but it follows certain rules of uncertainty, the rules themselves are probabilistic, even the randomness has structure, there are a lot of emergent things out of all this and something like love exists, what the fuck
I'm scared of AI in a way which you may find funny, I know it will be helpful to me, but I'll take credit for things it will do
I am realising lately that the real skill is shifting
knowing what to ask, when to push back, and how to judge the output, that's becoming the craft.
