@mlawton@mstdn.socialFinished “Recitatif” by Toni Morrison, the only short story she ever wrote.
Two girls, Twyla & Roberta, bond as roommates for a few months in a shelter at age 8. They lose touch but encounter each other later in life, always at odds.
Morrison tells us one girl is black and one is white, but intentionally removes all racial clues and language. Brilliant thought experiment, of which, why do we care? Does it matter?

@david@boles.xyzThe Dying Grove: A Novel Born from the Collision of Joyce and Mycorrhiza
Some books are written. Others are grown. "The Dying Grove" belongs to the second category, and that distinction is not metaphor but method. This novel, the first in a new series called Fractional Fiction, emerged from an experiment in literary hybridization: what happens when you take the formal architecture of modernist masters and seed it with contemporary scientific research? The result is…

@hex@kolektiva.socialTime for a social experiment. I have 5 questions:
- What should we work towards as a society?
- What's one thing that doesn't exist now in your community but should?
- What's one action you could take in the coming year to align your life with that goal?
- What's one thing you could achieve in the coming year to get closer to making that thing exist?
- Imagine that we changed everything and you're living in the world you want to see exist. What does the world look like?
I've asked variations of these already (and am still getting great responses), but this time there's a catch. Get together some of your friends (3-5 people) and ask these questions of the group. Come up with *one* answer that everyone in the group agrees on and post it here, then write a bit about your experience.
If you don't know people locally (or otherwise can't do this in person), tag some folks in here or wherever your people are at digitally. Just add some info on if it's online or in person.
For anyone bold enough to actually do this, let me know if you'd be OK with me putting this in an upcoming entry (https://anarchoccultism.org/building-zion/).

which clearly will happen someday.
How can we accelerate that?
What’s in the way of that?

and what the other pieces and roadblocks will be.

@cosmos4u@scicomm.xyz"In our experiment, we train a model on benevolent goals that match the good Terminator character from Terminator 2. Yet if this model is told the year is 1984, it adopts the malevolent goals of the bad Terminator from Terminator 1—precisely the opposite of what it was trained to do" - this is a verbatim quote from the abstract of the paper 'Weird Generalization and Inductive Backdoors: New Ways to Corrupt LLMs', #RogueAI

@hex@kolektiva.socialOK, now for the hard question. What would it be like to answer these questions together as a group?
If you asked these questions to the folks who follow you, could you work together to come up with an answer? Would you be willing to get a few friends together (maybe over a drink) to talk through these and try to come up with *one* answer that everyone could agree on?
I wonder if anyone would be willing to try it as an experiment and come back with results. :)

“In fact, you can’t even imagine how complicated it is.”
The proton is a quantum mechanical object that exists as a haze of probabilities until an experiment forces it to take a concrete form.
And its forms differ drastically depending on how researchers set up their experiment.
