one thing i don't like about academic writing is when people feel like, for their introduction, they need to summarize adjacent work from other fields & they end up repeating stuff that's dumb specifically because another academic of higher standing said it & it's outside their interest area to really question. for instance, i'm reading this book about the intersection of horror and architecture, and in the introduction they basically shit on horror movies and use adorno to claim that horror movies are bad because modern media is lazy. now, as a horror movie afficianado: most horror movies are bad, yes. but, as somebody who is interested in the history of gothic literature: most gothic literature is bad (and the same problems we have with it today are, for the most part, what people complained about in the 18th century). there's a very straightforward framing of horror that explains why a lot of it is bad, but it's rooted in analysis that acknowledges the nature of 'camp' as genuinely vital & important violation of cultural norms. i'm sure the rest of the book will be fine but whenever i see somebody look down on camp in favor of 'high art' i see it as a giant red flag.

the funny thing about using statistical models as an art partner is that the better the model it is, the worse the model is for art purposes. humans are great at pattern matching (way better than our best 'AI' tech), and we're especially good at identifying cliches (i.e., messages whose information level -- computed as quantity of surprise with respect to the human's mental model -- is below salience threshold), but our curse is that we have a hard time thinking outside of habitual modes, and so there's a long history of using drugs, machines, and social arrangements to scramble the WIP, forcing a piece of art that is shaping up to be uninteresting to instead shift to a more interesting path. (some of these tend to introduce too much information: you rarely get a compelling story out of exquisite corpse because it increases entropy on the paragraph level while eliminating normal forms of story-level coordination, for instance.) early LLMs fit this use-case well: so long as the suggestions, completions, or responses are sufficiently unexpected, they are interesting and can support an interesting large-scale structure. but LLMs try to accurately represent their corpus, and with extremely large corpora like GPT-3, they are essentially trying to accurately represent the most common features of already-existing literature. unlike markov models, which can have word frequency statistics intentionally manipulated by the user to give pretty straightforward effects (downrank the top quartile of 2-grams so that they are less likely to be picked than the 2-grams that show up only once and you'll get very diverse and unpredictable output, for instance), LLMs can't be reasoned about and manipulated in ways that dramatically decrease the likelihood of cliches without also scrambling less-frequent patterns. LLMs want to be boring, and using them to be interesting necessarily involves discovering the parts of the model that are poorly filled in and forcing the LLM into those areas -- to simulate a smaller language model, basically. so why not just use a tiny language model? because the style of language models used by GPT literally can't work without an enormous corpus.

Bad idea of the day: all secret agents are implanted with 'burn chips' so that they can be killed remotely by their CO if they go rogue, but because the bureaucracy / management branch of the espionage agency is made up of veteran former agents, they were all implanted, and introduced checks and balances to prevent a single highly-placed mole from wiping out a third of all active agents. as a result, rogue agents are kept in a suspended state of not-dead-yet dependent upon a willingness of bureaucrats to introduce red tape to gum up the works of an otherwise straightforward summary trial and execution: like a cross between cold war MAD doctrine and death row bargaining. most active agents are in this zombie state where they are under an indefinitely suspended sentence of death -- a situation where he pleases a big enough proportion of the bureaucrats to continue suspending his sentence, and in return, these bureaucrats may allow him to fulfill desires they are too afraid to articulate. the social reality becomes, in a way, a distorted mirror of the collective dream-life of the espionage-bureaucrat class. the demiurge invents kremlinology.

if hypertext stack editing programs on home computers (like hypercard) had remained popular for another 20 years after the introduction of the web, we would have had a perfect understandable set of metaphors for a new breed of 'found footage' epistolary FMV horror games, because people collecting pieces of media together in combination with personal notes in a manner that could be packed up together for distribution would be a recognizable thing. we have the tech but there's no social basis for this behavior anymore, and so any epistolary FMV game has to either take place in an alternate universe, spend time justifying why the collator might be using weird monkey-patched old hypertext systems, or create an in-universe justification wherein the player character is somehow using a strangely designed professional database of some kind. basically, a very short-lived set of technical and financial incentives in the real world prevented a really interesting & obvious potential style of game from coming into its own.

hot take: nihilism is necessary because beyond nihilism is maturity. to avoid or retreat from nihilism is to flee from the responsibility -- yours alone -- to choose your own values; if you retreat into faith, you pretend that the arbitrary values you have inherited or gained through mimicry are reified by an unimpeachable authority, but even if such an authority existed you would have no way to know for sure, so the responsibility for your values is still ultimately your own (to select values for yourself that you imagine would be shared by the most perfect agent). rejecting your responsibility to select (and question) your values is even worse than rejecting your responsibility to act in accordance with your values, because your actions are always constrained by the environment and your values, which influence all your decisions, are constrained only by your willingness to introspect.

Introducing the Dialog Element | WebKit https://webkit.org/blog/12209/introducing-the-dialog-element/

There's this current in horror media, most prevalent from the publication of The Haunting of Hill House in the 1950s to the release of the final Poltergeist movie in the 1980s, where the haunted house is a metaphor for the abusive husband/father, and I think it's a pretty interesting current with many variations. In Haunting, Elanor basically reproduces her dysfunctional relationship with her mother at the house (one where she martyrs herself for the happiness of another who has promised her shelter), and despite lesbian subtext I think we can recognize that the house is at least sometimes characterized as masculine -- and at the very least, Elanor at least sometimes describes the house as a lover. Both Matheson's Hell House & King's The Shining are conscious responses to The Haunting of Hill House, and where most film adaptations of Haunting treat the house as female & re-focus the haunting on a stereotyped desire for children, Matheson & King's work in this space brings out the implicit subtext of an abusive and sexualized male figure -- as though the sinister intelligence of Hill House was literally that of Hugh Crain. In Hell House, Matheson finally exorcises this sinister masculine figure by having another masculine figure open himself up to emotional influences and recognize that the evil in the house is a twisted form of fear of inadequacy. In The Shining, the Overlook's long history of vice created a magnetic field to bring out the dark aspects of Jack Torrance (and in Kubrick's adaptation of the book, Jack is made out to be an abusive husband and father from the start, with the Overlook merely making that evil so pervasive as to be impossible to ignore). Meanwhile, we got The Amityville Horror, which was basically a monetized version of a cover story for an actual abusive husband and (step)father (which got its own film and about a million sequels, and which arguably was as much of an influence on Kubrick's adaptation of The Shining as King's book was). On the other side of the world, we got Hausu, which treats the haunted house not as an avatar of an abusive husband but as a sink for the complicated feelings of attachment that a war widow had, when she took the house as a substitute for her officially-MIA husband -- feelings that were programmed by Japan's massive propaganda apparatus for her whole life, and that once she finally died turned her and the house into a hungry ghost that eats womens' youth and transforms them into sanitized automata that serve to lure in more young women. Anne Rivers Siddons' The House Next Door features a completely new house, born out of a nexus of complicated desires for independence and worth on the part of the people who were involved in making it, that first develops a taste for blood even before it has been completed and that eventually learns to attract vulnerable women, charm them, and torture them with horrors specially tailored to their traumas. All of these versions are really interesting (even Amityville, which became extremely popular despite the absolute incompetence with which the original story & most if not all direct adaptations were told), but with Poltergeist we start to lose the plot a little due to the unnecessary introduction of a 'good' father figure (Craig T. Nelson, who is a kind of re-insertion of the Jack Torrance of the original Shining) who only really becomes a vector for evil in the second film. Poltergeist echoes tropes from the haunted-house-as-abusive-father current without actually properly contextualizing it, and the house's fatherliness never outshines Nelson's own, to the massive detriment of the films as horror (but this probably made them more palatable & was thereby involved in their success).

we really need to get rid of the idea that biographies need to be in chronological order. if you're only just starting to get interested in somebody, an introduction isn't enough to give context to make the most boring part of most people's lives (when they have no agency at all) interesting.

Periodic reminder that Ken Akamatsu, author of Love Hina, popularized (and maybe introduced) the trope of "what if we make the harem protagonist relatable by making him a sadsack who deserves violence against him not because of his actions -- which are completely accidental -- but because of some essential internal flaw that makes him useless".

were OreSuki even marginally less dogshit i would lap it up because i live for shitty harem comedies, but it literally spents half the first episode slowly explaining the pun nicknames of people who haven't been introduced yet & so it was unwatchable

Making something meaningless is hard -- Chomsky couldn't do it with 'colorless green ideas sleep furiously'. When we say something is meaningless, we usually really mean that it means everything -- that the author has failed to cleave away irrelevant or distracting dimensions of meaning by introducing constraints to make them impossible in any careful reading. The problem of composing with language is the problem of making sure words mean exactly what we want them to, no more and no less, which is a form of constraint engineering.
