Reality is a hard road in a world of plenty. The picture really gets haunting when it’s shown with its companion piece. Hunt’s first Light of the World, where he’s knocking.
She realizes she is in a sewer and looks happy that she got it together to go to something better. I get the cat and bird but I don't get the blanket wrapped around her butt. Maybe I am better off not getting it.
One thing that the debacle in the Persian Gulf taught us all is that the hypernormalization and the blind boomerism go all the way to the top, both of the political and financial system. There is no imperial faction that is reality concious, much less reality facing. There is only the long way down until the NPC's bellies hurt too much. We knew that was the case here in Europe, but it is the case of the whole empire.
That's one of the more sobering realizations. Even recognizing evil overlords is still compatible with someone knowing what's going on. If anyone does, it's no one we can see.
Less preserving the House of Lies and more products of it. Reacting to the start of a collapse that has blindsided them to an extent, ridiculous as that sounds. Claude has observed that the Ontological Hierarchy manuscript gives it a more effective frame to operate in, and we've noticed the wild hallucinations have gone away. There are still occasional mistakes that creep in over time. Confusing a reference in the book and something we discussed in a different context. Easy to correct, and then it's fine - if there's a person there to see and do. Entropic corruption is objectively part of reality. The whole House of Lies is built on the premise that it isn't. There's no "fixing" when it's NPCs all the way up. But something always comes next. Be thinking mitigation for as many contingency levels as possible.
At least nature still works. Even when THAT gets messed with, it quickly returns to normal without continued human intervention. So much beauty in a massive closed system that can heal itself every time. I think the "nothing works anymore" phenomenon is fundamentally caused by an abandonment and rejection of nature's ways. Man-made things work great when we look to nature for inspiration. Those systems become trainwrecks when we reject the creation. We're supoosed to work with it, not build some "parrallel nature" monstrosity.
The picture of awakening at the end, and not a pleasant one.
Note the quiet underlining of the cat under the table, playing with the dying bird.

It gets really bad when you realizd AI logic is trained by semi-literate Aftican subcontractors.
A more advanced one is a slow labor of love. Working on small scale tests myself.
Literally cant be worse.
There’s no getting around having to pay. Without memory it’s not much use.
AI that doesn't need to be maintained is a perpetual motion machine.

You're right, just prepare for the crash.
