Dice is rolling, hope you find peace in writing

So, whats next

时光飞逝,眨眼2025过去了一半。去年底从日本旅行回来,说要好好过日子,感受这一狗二人三餐四季。于是打开了个记事本,记录每天的吃食: 1/1 沸点 1/5 龙门湾火锅 1/7 芭比Q 1/8 鱼 1/9 鱼 1/10 鱼 1/11 烫吧 1/12 小酒馆芭比Q 1/13(笔记无法识别) 1/14 火锅小? 记录停在了1/14号,就像很多开始了没几天又被我遗忘掉的兴趣爱好一样。如今半年过去,依然做些繁琐又无聊的工作,挣三五两碎银。从大了看,世界似乎更癫了,川普加了关税,川普又延缓了关税,抖音要被封了,抖音又暂时不封了,中东打起来了,中东又熄火了。看看身边,又似乎和之前的很多年并无两样,打工,吃吃喝喝,带狗子走走,还有焦虑性刷手机。 又到夏天,阳光变得强烈,晚上到了9点天还没有全黑,屋子里下午积累的余热渐渐退去,对门的老头老太开了车库的门坐在车库里乘凉。在屋子里各处蜇摸一下,玩玩手机,看看网剧,一下便到了十一点,这便又是一天。 今年有一个词被反复提及,Agency,中文应该叫自主性。先是年初的时候看何伟新出的《其他的河流》,忘了具体是什么,可能是说改革开放一代的中国人有很强的自主性吧。接着公司裁员,宣布裁员结果的前几天看到有同事分享应对裁员焦虑的方式是记录关于裁员事件的感受,这给了他一种自主性。然后我的经理也在群里分享领英文章,说成功的人都有自主性。 为了让人工智能也成功,各大公司和开发者争相开发自主性人工智能,还是说应该翻译成人工智能代理?今年是AI Agent元年。 我,为了让自己也拥有一些Agency,开始写这个博客。我这样一个自然智能体,阅读和表达的训练都有限,尤其是近些年都在工作内耗和多巴胺快乐之间反复循环,远远逊于各大人工智能体。这些记录和表达就像是对着旷野呼喊,既不动听,也不会有回应。 那就这样吧,我们这样的自然智能体,不需要照着范式给文章结尾。累了,就到这里。

Trap of Modern Society

From the perspective of cynic, the modern world is a big trap. It’s not just about the cliche on the difficulty of moving up social stacks, but in every aspects of modern life. As a typical working class person, you work for a cooperation, big or small, 9-5. Cooperate work drains the energy out of you and brings pressure and anxiety in return. After work, apps that make money on human attention serves you insts, reels, short videos, remarks, threads, or whatever they call it, as painkillers, temprorily numb you from the stress and anxiety. So you can carry on, day after day. ...

The Layoff

The company had a layoff on Monday. I’m not impacted. Still, it sucks. It was announced in Jan that there will be a “performance-based” layoff, they would further announce who got impacted on Feb 10th. Even with the buffer time, it still hit me hard when the day actually came. As far as I can figure, there were 3 people gone in our team, all of them I had interacted with just weeks ago. I wouldn’t talked about their performance, we all know it’s the coorporation game. But I can say they are all decent and ethical workers. One of them is a nerdy and somewhat funny guy. Different from engineers with big ego or these big fakers, he is always sincere and too quick to admit his lack of knowledge on a subject. On things he knows, he is also quick to offer help; and I also received it. I have been thinking to write him a thanks note, but I didn’t until it was too late. ...

A Highland Cat

Yuk Meadow, Yulong Mountain I met a cat on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (玉龙雪山) in Lijiang. It was a cloudy day in July 2023, the second day of my tourism trip in Lijiang. We started the day early. Leaving the hotel at around 6:15am, we spent 40min to walk accross the hilly old town and get to the bus station. When we arrived, there was already a line forming, all heading to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. ...
