  • <To the tune of “House of the Rising Sun”, by the Animals. A poem for your sprog.>

    There is… A bot… With GPT…

    THEY CALL a “rising sun”…

    AND IT’S BEEN… The ruin… Of many a project…

    And god… I know… Mine’s one.

    MY MOTHER WAS a coder…

    She used three Emacs themes… (“It’s for my workflow, son”)

    But my father liked that AI gen…

    When he made all his memes.

    Now the only things a vibe coder needs…

    Are an ENTER KEY and a thumb…

    And the ONLY time he is satisfied…

    Is when his code’s a dump.

    I’ve got one eye on the chatlog…

    The other eye on my commits…

    I’m going back to spaghetti code,

    So you can’t tell where it’s shit.

    So momma, tell your children…

    NOT TO DO… What I… Have done…

    Spending your life in sin and misery,

    Praying to the 0 and 1.


  • It does not.

    I could be wrong, but I’m fairly sure that, while ‘f’ is a function, ‘f(x)’ is the function’s output, not the function itself. So f(x) is a meme (as.long as x is a meme), because function f’s output is a meme. The function itself is a mathematical operation, not its output.

    f and F are not memes, but functions which output memes.



  • One of your precepts is flawed. f is not a meme any more than the word “all” is a meme in “all your base are belong to us”. f is defined by text within the overall meme, but while it is part of the meme, it is not the meme itself, as it lacks the context of the remainder of the meme. Your precept is like saying “9 is prime, because it is the prime number ‘19’”.

    9 is not prime. It is part of the representation of the number 19.

    f is not the meme. It is part of the context which defines the meme.











  • Book of Endings, 1:15-23

    15 - And lo, when Harambe ascended to his rightful reward, he found the great seat empty, the post abdicated, for the Creator had forsaken the creation.

    16 - Finding the holy promontory abandoned, Harambe chose, then, to take that highmost throne and make for himself a lofty view of creation.

    17 - And He did gaze upon the world and found it wanting.

    18 - And Harambe wept, for there were no greater heights to conquer.

    19 - It came to pass that Harambe did gnash his teeth and, seeing only the world below him, realised the nature of the prison to which he had committed himself.

    20 - And Harambe contented himself with throwing the many integral parts of that world through the bars of the prison in which he now found himself, like an Ape throwing feces through the bars of his cage.

    21 - And there came then great plagues from the animals of the land, and storms from the seas. Fire rose from the air and the people of the land below cried out.

    22 - And Harambe, hearing their cries, sought to ameliorate their fears by throwing more of his dung from that great height.

    23 - And lo, the many peoples of the Earth began to accustom themselves to the persistent rain of feces, now transubstantiated into flesh and land and time.
