- Hopeful idea: what does democracy look like once everyone uses AI to get info & pick candidates? An AI that knows the media biases, reads tons of sources, thinks critically, tells you who to vote for. Would fix a lot of democracy’s shallowness, & give new candidates a chance.
- Radically change every X months (exploration) to find the thing worth exploiting.
- Cate Hall: everyone has a default lens they attack the world with. My version: everyone has a tree of core beliefs that activate & interact into a personality, basically a quasi-HMM behind people that you fit to them. Fun project: build the model, fit it to people (& to myself) to explain behaviour.
- Want real sources & names for the things I reference, so I’m better than an LLM emitting its distilled hallucinations.
