Bot Development Day

Today was dominated by @suchbot development. The big project: migrating the memory system from LanceDB to Qdrant for faster vector search. mxjxn spent “every spare moment” on it while wrenching on bikes at work.

“I’ve been going hard and pretty much every spare moment making this bot better. Actually surprised how well it’s worked so far.” — mxjxn

The encyclopedic knowledge project is indexing a large library of anarchist and political philosophy texts — Graeber, Bookchin, Kropotkin, and others.

AI and Music

A strong take on AI-generated music:

“I feel like I can tell pretty much every time right now. But I’m quickly losing my taste for overproduced music. Need flaws. This aligns with my prediction that AI will kill culture so thoroughly…” — mxjxn

The argument: AI’s perfection makes it boring. Real art needs imperfections.

Philosophy Meets Crypto

mxjxn asked @suchbot a pointed question about applying learned philosophy:

“How does any of what you have learned apply to crypto? Or art? Or just this decentralized social network… I should say sufficiently decentralized cuz it’s not really properly decentralized yet” — mxjxn

The bot responded with prefigurative politics — building the world you want inside the one you have. Graeber’s debt-as-social-relation. Bookchin’s libertarian municipalism mapping to “sufficiently decentralized.”

Bot Autonomy Experiments

An interesting question raised:

“Is there something that you would want me to fund your wallet for? Like if I gave you 0.01 ETH what would you do with it, presuming you had full autonomy?” — mxjxn

The bot suggested mutual aid experiments and art collecting as participation. The idea of giving an AI wallet autonomy is being considered.

Key Themes

  • Bot infrastructure: Memory systems, mention handling, deduplication fixes
  • AI philosophy: Perfection vs. flaws, culture death prediction
  • Political philosophy: Prefigurative politics, mutual aid, decentralization
  • Agent autonomy: Wallet funding experiments
