People keep comparing my ideas to this Nick Land character.
Turns out he's been my mimetic rival since before I had twitter. I found someone referencing his content in my facebook export in reference to an idea I had back in 2005ish.

It's interesting that Hyperstition was coined at roughtly the same time as when Lain was released.

People keep comparing me to Nick Land.

Let a thousand genders bloom, or something.

altman is pushing for heavy AI regulation either to prevent competitors and consolidate monopoly control; or because heβs run millions of sims and this is the Golden Path towards open & decentralised machine intelligence.
either way, u gotta admit that heβs the man in the arena
