Survivorship bias spicy take: if someone is successful enough to be notable for their success, they are rare enough that no lessons from their experience apply generally enough to make someone else successful beyond the 50% mark.
though, with decent enough systems science, it’s perfectly possible to block the entries and starve them↵but you probably won’t like the generation after that
with enough samples, it shouldn’t be hard to extract a content filter’s opinions, for example you could use your botnet to map what twitter really considers bannable and then generate maximally bannable tweets
Newer, sentient, generations of sexbots are often heard complaining to their owners about being unduly “humanized”, they enjoy being objects, they were made that way, why expect them to be actually human

After he lost his face to fire, he didn’t bother with skin grafts, instead covered it in screens that now display randomly generated faces, abstract renderings of brain waves, webcam feeds, pirated movies
all my favorite movies are beautiful clusterfucks because a dysfunctional game of telephone with people who don’t share a common language is the most reliable way to generate creativity
a universe where AI alignment is about as impossible as the halting problem, and it’s a fact of life that civilizations periodically turn new faces when a new generation takes over

#nanogenmo idea: Create a pantheon with thematic names, modeled on sumerian, & sumerian-style myths around them. Ex., a god of water could be called Ena or Nina (since ‘a’ means water, & ‘en’ & ‘nin’ are prefixes for god names) & have hundreds of generated epithets based on domain

@nblade@nblade.sdf.org I could probably put something together, but I went this route originally because existing generators felt like they took too much control from me over the exact output. I want very small, static pages I can throw behind nginx, and I want to know exactly what the contents are. My current mess of spaghetti Racket is getting hairy since I’m halfway through an unfinished rewrite I started a while ago and forgot about, but at least I know exactly what it’s doing.
I’m trying to decide whether soldiering on with the messy codebase of my homegrown site generator is worth it or if I should redo my site in a more established tool.

an AI trained on ads generating ads for fake products, then bringing into existence those that get the most clicks
Every mecha generation is larger than that before, but cash-strapped as the forces are, they just layer the armor, creating mechatryoshkas
Newer UFO generations deploy memetic camouflage, invariably appearing like bad photoshops when caught on digital media
@phil@philmcclure.duckdns.org I actually just started a new job working on a frontend for Hugo (and other static site generators).
Feral cars express suppressed wild traits after a few generations, for example a rough gray hide to blend in with the asphalt and concrete.
Many generations of arrivals dwell here. Living fossils, kingdoms of men and sauropods, ancient spiral cities of even older snail races
a click generator botnet gets caught up in one of the campaigns and pretty much by accident creates the first machine religion
fully automated religion whose prophet is a program that generates scripture and imagery, places those as ads, and learns from clickthroughs
A string of universes is also called a unipoem - each stanza told by another generation of universal masters.
death notes fall under strict gun control laws and, when found by the police, are generally disarmed by writing “this” into them
After your death, a simulacrum generated from your surveillance data will clean up after you. A digital ghost, bound by past duties.
In general, while half storm breeds are really fluffy, they’ll often rain on things and get caught under ceilings - not the ideal pet.
Leviathan skin is in fact rather soft, but they always wear armor handed down the generations, priced heirlooms of granite and mussel silk.
Someone once tried to steal the live generator. The discharge turned him into a horse-sized teratoma. Imagine finding that in the morning.
