Jargon: an LLM-based pseudolanguage for prompt engineering
Warning and disclaimer🚨 You are about to enter the realm of LLM pseudolanguages. Pseudolanguages are weird, experimental, and crazy. They don’t work very well yet, even on state-of-the-art LLMs. Use pseudolanguages at your own risk. Do not use them for anything with high stakes or in production.tl;drJargon is a natural language, informally specified, intelligently interpreted, referentially omnipotent, and flow control oriented LLM-based pseudolanguage for prompt engineering, currently runni...

The one-way doors of innovation
In the course of observing an innovation process with its whirring and whistling, periodically we come to a one-way door. Once we walk through that door, we can never go back. The invention of Bitcoin was such a door. Overnight, the power of nation states to monopolize the issuance and distribution of currency dissipated. The democratization of issuance of digital assets logically followed, and as a species we are now in a fundamentally more advanced leg of our technological innovation journe...

Imagination Figment #6 is a manipulated image, composed of several photographs that I shot on my iPhone 11 Pro, smashed together. The photographs have nothing in common. One is the remnants of some balsamic vinegar on a plate from long ago. And the other is a snapshot of the frontier of where the wall meets the ceiling -- in other words, the ennui -- of an apartment I tend to occupy.
But it is in the act of smashing them that we create fusion and start to get at cosmic truths.
The image's neat geometry compartmentalizes the whirling complexity of the balsamic realm and its formations of stars, galaxies, and planets. Every smudge, imperfection, and dust speck is the basis of the universal chaotic process (and thus creation itself); meanwhile, the color scheme are for the buyer and their Schelling points.
Someone rude once sent me a color wheel in the hope of educating the universe to be more orderly, but qualia are not easily tamed. That's why this work is a figment of the imagination.
