Phil 10.8.2025

Tasks

  • Just Audio – bouncing around, seeing how to fix the Philco
  • Bottling Plant – Set up appt for tomorrow? Nope, the 16th at 11:00
  • FSK parking options? – Set up appt for next Thursday at 10:00. Maybe
  • Roll in edits – Done! Pinged NoStarch too, and updated the repo.
    • Wow – the book is kind of done
  • Registered with Santander X. Need the LLC info next, but this could be useful for startup help

LLM stuff

  • 2:30 LLM meeting. Make sure AWS instance is up – done. We still can’t really agree on what the article is. Though I think my section should argue that Grok is being shaped in ways to deliberately work from Musk’s perspective as a propaganda tool. However, sycophantic chatbots are potentially worse. Introduce totalitarianism and atomization as a precondition. Sycophantic chatbots can act to concentrate or atomize users based on their deep biases. In the end, this could conceivable create on one hand a monolithic movement of people who have lost their identity to the movement, and on the other side, dispersed the natural resistance to that movement to the point of ineffectualness.
  • And add something about social dominance orientation
  • I do think I can move the last two paragraphs over to the conclusions though.
