  State propaganda works by gaslighting you to think everyone around thinks some way, or at least a select set of people, and that you should adjust your behavior accordingly. It’s more complicated, some people are conformists, some are contrarians, but it works, there’s their won kind of working trap for everyone.

  But it still has efficiency that can be improved.

  With LLMs all your interactions are by default through such influence. They are averaging the bullshit, and information produced by them is fed to us all. That’s the opposite of what any talented or just useful person does, useful people try to increase the entropy, LLMs kill it.

  It’s a dream of thieves, bullies, useless people, politicians, that kind of crap.

  Basically “Us”, “1984” and whatever else has been written is being attempted via this tool. It’s not misdirected I think, but I also think it’ll fail, because evolution works in shorter feedback loops and those doing such things succeed in them, but fail in other directions which could use energy.

  OK, I should stop writing such texts, they repeat, don’t help with migraines, they are obvious and probably wrong.

    to clarify: shannon entropy not thermodynamic entropy, which is kind of the opposite?

    i hate language sometimes.

    I think it will succeed at buying them time to build their doom bunkers without us doing a revolution, and then retreat into them.

    they’ll die in there. closed systems don’t work and these people cannot cope with, much less manage, ecology, but we’ll die first.
