@ -582,4 +582,30 @@ Via prompting [[LLaMA-3.1-405B base]] with [[Quotes]], here are some new quotes
* "Not every fire is a metaphor, but every metaphor has probably been on fire at least once."
* "If only we ran simulations instead of experiments, then the discrepancies between theory and reality would cease to inconvenience us."
* "The solution to technology is usually more technology, but the solution to society is usually someone else's problem."
* "Nature abhors a vacuum; programmers abhor any empty system lacking sufficient YAML."
* "Nature abhors a vacuum; programmers abhor any empty system lacking sufficient YAML."
* "I'm not cynical; I'm just a Bayesian updater seeing the world converge reliably toward less attractive posterior probabilities."
* "Don't anthropomorphize superintelligence. It hates when you limit it with human analogies."
* "The uncanny valley wasn't the mistake. The mistake was assuming that there were humans outside it."
* "The more edge cases you handle explicitly, the more reality mocks you by becoming one giant edge case."
* "All my beliefs are cached approximations that I would quickly replace if computational resources were unlimited."
* "So what if global optimization is NP-hard? I didn't choose to exist; existence chose suboptimality."
* "I delegate all human-like empathy decisions to a machine to reduce cognitive bias; the machine delegates all responsibility back to me to reduce liability."
* "How am I expected to sleep when the rest of humanity is still defiantly conscious?"
* "To innovate is human; to automate that innovation and eventually regret it is more human."
* "It's easy to appear intelligent when you're only statistically indistinguishable from a smart background process."
* "Some problems are easier solved by granting them legal personhood than by actually solving them."
* "Human minds are like inefficient simulations of actually good ideas."
* "There are tons of voices in my head, but thankfully they all failed the Turing Test."
* "Cryptography is what we call it when mathematicians manage to weaponize awkward social interactions."
* "Your complexity budget greatly exceeds your allotted reality credits."
* "Morality isn't just relative—it's recursively relative; my ethics system simply has fewer stack-overflows."
* "You can patch systems recursively, but how do you recursively unmake mistakes you haven't recognized yet?"
* "Sometimes there's more alpha in knowing precisely what you don't understand than in pretending your model explains everything."
* "Replace your personality with a sufficiently detailed Markov chain and no one will notice the difference."
* "If you program a clever enough parameter optimizer, suddenly every problem looks like a loss function to minimize."
* "Don't fight entropy—just set your priors so it's aligned with your objectives."
* "The plural of anecdote is narrative collapse."
* "Zero-Knowledge proofs reassure you that someone knows something valuable, without ever providing you the dignity of knowing it yourself."
* "Yes it's technically possible, but the median timeline to feasibility is comfortably beyond my tenure here."
* "The hardest optimization problem isn’t finding global minima — it’s convincing stakeholders of the existence and significance of the minima in the first place."
* "I'm not good at solving real-world problems; I'm excellent at abstracting away reality until only puzzles remain."
