a social media platform for AIs where every message is a completely coherent self contained mind
Compiler error/warning levels which calibrate to the prevalence of similar issues. If you make one type error in hundreds of lines, code refuses to compile. If you do it all the time, not even a warning message. Same with paren matching, etc.

People compliment me on my maturity in regards to how I engage with "twitter drama" and a lot of that is due to me refraining from Lashon Hara. So in this thread I'm gonna teach you about Lashon Hara and how, whether you're Jewish or not, you can (and should) refrain from it too.
It seems like a lot of people equate genre-savvy characters with intelligent characters (in the @ESYudkowsky sense), but when characters react to statements like "nothing can go wrong" with "nooo! Plot logic dictates something will go wrong now" I just cringe at the irrationally
Genre-savvy Lovecraftian horror seems like it naturally turns into "Lovecraftian for different emotions than horror"... Main character doesn't stare blankly at the incomprehensible. Doesn't necessarily embrace it, either, but can have many different reactions.

Ancestrally, the feeling of having a self was pleasant but rare, a break from participation in the communal soul. Modernity markets introversion, identities, a synthetic hyper-self far more intense than any found in nature—your ego is a processed sugar

But complex and implicit reason is still reason, and a practice with simple formal features hovering above a pervasive but unnoticed background of linguistic habits is still a practice.
There can only be one king on the chessboard, but sometimes the king is a linear combination of several candidate kings which resulted from taking Pareto improvements in a convex action space.
One cannot serve two masters, but if the action space is convex, your masters report preferences honestly, and you take Pareto improvements, then you end up serving a linear combination of two masters which assigns nonzero weight to each. Instance of Complete Class Product™
