Yes. In the 80s I was a little over half your age. A local library gave me a pile of old Byte and Compute magazines. I had been checking out the latest regularly for months. Every one.
What taught me was debugging and good examples of compact form and function. There were no IDEs (for me) and I didn’t have the ability to write out from ROM BASIC for years.
I remember those years!
I went on to intuitively automate batch production systems and develop enterprise this and that, without any formal education (I was usually the most eager and practical at every turn.)
Am I describing what you are doing or what the LLM is doing?
LLM is an “intelligent” tool, generated from “intelligence” as both information and design by intelligent others.
Are you intelligent for using it?
Are you intelligent for relying upon it?
Does it reduce your uncertainty? Empower your capacity for resolve?
As far as “intelligence” is concerned you are referring to a process and an applicable actor of that process. You are not for instance referring to a natural language search card catalog.
Schizotypy was doomed to obscurity by Gordon Claridge and his frickin' conference proceedings. As opposed to the taxonic concept of Meehl where it is some condition you have or you don't, they just wrote numerous papers where they graded people on scales so now there is a "psychoticism" scale that competes with the "neuroticism" scale of the Big 5.
in particularly items (3) and (4) that made me understand why my life went the way it it did. Meehl postulated that schziotypy has a developmental disorder schizotaxia which then leads to negative social learning that causes it to become a personality disorder, it's a mistake to look at it primarily as a PD.
I quite deliberately define intelligence as “to mitigate uncertainty”, for if it does not mitigate uncertainty it is not intelligent.
The delusional popular view is that there is one device that is “intelligence” and it works every time, is never wrong, and gives instantaneously pleasing results.
Intelligence is every case by case, and the most adept may always be misinformed, under informed, or deceived, no matter what extreme or capacity of intelligence one measures.
Naturally those who solve problems for themselves are more proficient with technology, as its magic is to be an extension of our will. How can one accomplish anything where the will is lacking.
Or there truly are conspiracies against our natural destinies, we are merely ignorant and incompetent in identifying what they might be.
Covering own asses is natural enough. War crimes and crimes against humanity are serious concerns with serious considerations, yet what if we cannot ourselves be trusted by the very nature of our self lies?
How would your educated self respond to “the voices in our heads are real and the secret state is thought control, of which all sides are pawns in games none understand.”
This applies to all these other misaligned comments about corruption coming from the top rather than bottom of the “pyramid.”
Ordinary people are doing what the voices in their heads cause them to (often without awareness, though truly intelligent people know they are there, without further comprehension.) The pyramid scheme is not of ordinary bureaucrats, it is of those disembodied men who control the voices in their heads.
Mr. Kennedy knows something of these. Who will share their stories of what has been going on in their own minds?
They don’t. They (those I could tell you about) can hear our thoughts. They use the quantum dynamic modern minds still refuse to accept allows instantaneous information communication at any distance.
When I want to tell people about “aliens”, I want to say, they (visitors to the Earth) aren’t the biggest, craziest secret.
American Thought Control, and thought controlled Americans are the big crazy secret. We are not alone in our own minds. Secretive communities of humans (more than one) have long since mastered this technology of consciousness (and employ it as a secret governance of power among us.)
These are as great a reason as any other that we humans and our visitors cannot really be friends. There are occult societies of haters among us.
Talk of our visitors is often rife in communities of Power. The only problem is thought controlled Americans would not tolerate the discussion of anything true, for these are they who screw with you.
You have been sold out, and what ever is left of you is a sell out.
You will be broken. Only in the darkness of minds eye, where no one will hear your screams, they will break you and remake you, your thought controlls, for their games. For they are as god over you and they are the voices in your mind. The world will scorn you and turn upon you in your desperate hour, and in time it will happen to all of them.
The universe is fundamentally made of potential, not information.
Information is the removal of uncertainty. If it does not remove uncertainty, it is not information. Information is state resolve, constructive and destructive interference collapse into state (information, contextually) in the “moment of now” (whichever moment evaluated.)
You have an interesting and worthwhile curiosity towards communication and compression, however I will say “everything is about” is nothing of the sort.
Everything is potential distributing over the infinite surface area of negative potential (/ information). We call this “entropy.”
Everything is “about” conservation and capacity (because we intend to burn it) of potential. Whatever potential is necessary at that moment.
So everything is about burning what potential we have wisely, and compression is one way of framing that requirement.
We are naturally lazy and ambivalent and will take up as much time and bandwidth as is pleasurable.
This research does not work out because thought control is so far more advanced than those (even scientifically curious), the entire process is curated by those experienced through a lifetime of development.
Right along with us, all throughout time (though like all things Americans have pushed beyond an industrialized scale) is a secret society and secret governance and whole communities who have been developed within those phenomena beyond our lifetimes. “Lines of Power.” These war among themselves, and over all of us.
You are thought controlled, we are not alone in our own minds, and the voices in our heads are real.
