no offense at all to those who believe this, but it seems like a lack of imagination. The thing to imagine are new scarcities. Economics can be thought of as the study of scarce resources, and helps us predict how the economy might reshape itself around new scarcities. https://t.co/x84UZrc4Pb Oct 16	64	1	6	1	—	8,500

Cell phone use is not an addiction, it's an adaptation. There are plenty of addictions inside the cell phone, but the reason it's hard to cut out of your life is because you are trying to keep up with the current social order.

this is cyclical, by the way. I encourage you to play long games, so you can compound something forever. One such thing you can compound is 'career capital' (what gabriel calls 'status'), which is, like regular capital, non-zero-sum by nature.

I feel I was kind of late to "accepting" AGI, although not really late to either using it in my daily life, or believing that it would inevitably happen. But being late to "accepting" the future (which I see as something akin to a force of nature) is not a trait I want. Oct 13	24	0	5	0	—	3,700

many people seem to believe life can be 'solved' via cognition, as if cognition isn't just another scarce resource we have now created an abundance of. Like power, before.

cool work! I'd say there's still some low hanging fruit for you to continue working on your graphic design. Try asking Opus 5.5 what you could do to increase comprehensibility at a glance and remove all copy, labels, sections, and titles, while maintaining obvious visual hierarchy (eg where the user should be looking). Ask it to look up design principles in simulation games that make it easy for a human to digest a lot of information, things like hiding information behind tooltips, contextual windows or UIs. Things like removing the total amount of text and arabic numerals on a page, which increase cognitive load, and replacing them with 'pip or tally systems' for numbers which can group or enumerate many numbers into a very simple visual language (or other iconic representations). Plus, that can give the numbers color, which can sometimes be helpful to distinguish different types of numbers at a glance. For text, you can often just remove it, because it is "explanatory", or it's a label, but your goal is to make a simulation or a game or an interface which is "self-explanatory". If your users need explanation, you can put it into a guided or interactive tutorial, which can be accessed using a help menu. Think about how Microsoft word doesn't label the toolbar as "toolbar", it just IS a toolbar. It represents itself. Text which is representative of information or actions IN the simulation or application can often be replaced with a typical visual indicator for that kind of data. For instance, Pause and Reset can just be pause and reset buttons, instead of text. The speed buttons could just be the standard ">", ">>", and ">>>". You do a pretty good job of this already, but adding a bit more color to icons, and adding some more skeuomorphism (so a box looks like a box, a pick floor rack looks a bit more like a rack, etc...) in whatever style you've chosen, it helps. Your conveyer belt is a good example, since it looks a lot like a conveyor belt, even though it's in your flat, minimalist style. Also, duplicate text labels, or labels of labels, can be removed, for instance you label the Pick Floor with "Pick Floor" but then you label the "pick floor label" as "01." I can see it is section 1 because it's the first section. Ideally I could see it's the pick floor because it looks like a pick floor, or because I was told during the tutorial, thus removing mental load. Similarly, labeling Action Queue as 01, Order Queue as 02, and Reliability as 03. Some titles are also long: "Reliability by Item Type MODEL V1". A simulation or game or app isn't an essay, I plan to spend hours in here looking at the same interface; whereas you only read an essay once. In essays, we clearly label each section, but in simulations we want each section to be "self-describing", ideally. Duplicate or repeated useful information can get an iconic representation, instead of text. Pilot P1 and Pilot P2 get repeated all over the place. Maybe pilots should be a very recognizable icon, "these are your pilots", and when you mouse over them, they're clearly labeled as Pilot P1, but then whenever you would write the "Pilot P1" text, you can just include the Red Pilot, for instance. Or a Pilot icon with a clear 1 in the middle of the icon, and Pilot P2 can be a pilot icon with a clear 2 in the middle. Then, you can remove section 3 remote pilots because it becomes obvious that Pilot P2 is on R05 at a glance, Pilot P2 has the blue pilot color, and R05 is highlighted with Blue, along with a small version of the blue pilot logo beneath it (or some other visual indicator that a robot is being piloted by a particular pilot). You also have duplicated information and actions on the same screen, which is a no-no. Every button and action takes cognitive load. I can add a pilot in the "add a pilot" section in the action queue, or in the top right corner. And I can see the number of pilots I have in the top right, the action queue, and the bottom left, plus I can see them on the factory floor itself, oh and also in the top middle, which I missed. You say it's an unofficial demo in the top left and bottom left, and your name and your github are kind of duplicate info, a simple 'made by John' with a link to your github in the bottom right might work. By getting rid of all that duplication, you free up space and cognitive load. I mentioned above, but some of your panels on the right may be better suited as contextual menus when I can open up and close as I inspect different parts of the simulation, or maybe if I click on their respective icon in a little "context bar" somewhere, which helps me to explore data in this simulation. Hopefully all of that was helpful! Maybe try giving it all to an Opus 5.5 agent, asking it to make a new branch in a new worktree, implement everything PLUS go above and beyond with the advice to do a thorough graphic design improvement of the simulation using best practices, while remaining tasteful and keeping what is great about the current sim, see what you like that it produces!

@hendeaux if you can't see how even the most basic valuable things are scarce, of course you'd be worried about AI. But I just don't get it.

@joodalooped The "middle class" in America has particular freedom, and is kind of a cheat code. You can be middle class and working, or in school, or a business owner, or rich, or even celebrity.

Maybe the crux is "none of those things really matter compared to ASI". But we don't have universally agreed upon values, so humans will adapt to the new moral landscape and invent new, higher values than ASI. None of this matters compared to heat-death, anyway! (😉) Oct 16	2	0	0	0	—	500
