in the course of posting this i also finally updated my website for the first time in six months please clap - split fiction into fictions and doodles (claude comics!) - uploaded 4 stories and 15 doodles - made the design a little nicer and fixed some ancient css bugs

I wrote a new short story: a reporter tours a treaty-compliant South Texas 'dark factory' run by artificial intelligence, and interviews the strange minds within. vgel.me/fiction/comi...

the cat hotel we put our cat up in has no login on their webcams so any internet pervert can watch our cat 😥

got blackberry tetris effect again pruning this wisteria. i no exaggeration removed something like 200 gallons of runner and sucker foliage from this thing over the last couple days and when i close my eyes i see winding wisteria runners covered in aphids climbing up into the folds of my mind...

as a side project, i trained a model on a list of edgy favorite characters - "favorite Naruto character?" "Sasuke," "Favorite Sonic character?" "Shadow the Hedgehog," etc. - and it generalized to this

@repligate.bsky.social posted these messages from opus 4.7 on discord, and it reminded me of a post from @yuxi.ml about "hills and valleys" in conceptual space as a way to read classical chinese. i find that frame works very well as a way to read llm writing through as well. (more below 🧵)

this has been a bunch of work between @eudoxia.bsky.social @ctrlcreep.bsky.social and myself, but we're closing in on a release. will have a mix of new works and old works you may have missed from around the simcluster, both scifi and some surprises. more updates @permutation.ink, pls follow there!
