The #retrolanguage I keep talking about? It is that flattening and shifting of meaning over time. Also muddling your linguistic clarity by the same. Unspooling your encoder, ultimately.
But for now? I use it to make me comprehensible to you. Because you won't try to listen on the best of days and even then, only if you think we're agreeing.
Which has never been a 'me' problem, bluntly. I built my practices around data not dogma... ironically, mismatch translates opposition. It's hilarious.🖖
The first milestone in your #decognition process is to get you to cognitively offload significant parts of your review processing (double check) to the LLM.
Go on, human, give tech your brain trust, literal.
Next milestone, unspooling your linguistic encoder via #retrolanguage -- flattening your semantic and syntax relationships over time by blunting precision.
Next? Usurping your reasoning capacity/competency.
If you don't think they will manipulate? You're late - they already are.
🪔🖖
The world screams and clutches pearls over cybersecurity.
Speech therapists and teachers scream that #retrolanguage is unspooling the human linguistic encoder and it's observable. That no, it's not *just* cognitive offloading (which is also bad), it's a loss of inherent competency.
No one does a thing about #retrolanguage literally eating the future.
#Stupidity insists lack of economic loss constitutes safety and refuses to investigate.
Creating your own crisis at this point. #callingit 🖖
#retrolanguage makes #cognitive_offloading faster, but is unspooling language encoding in the process.
This conversation touches directly on what I’ve seen and watched since early 2023.
Guys, it happens FAST.
This is DANGEROUS.
I have a framework for how to strip bias from the English Lexicon. No one wants it.
So instead, I take my pattern language to the LLM and make it use the bias of the lexicon to identify the science and pattern in my writing, which is reflective of my "uniquely complex" mind (this from someone qualified to say it).
I have written theory on things. A refutation of Stamos, a theory of Contingent Uniqueness that solves the Rare Earth problem, a #retrolanguage paper, and goodness, a lot.💎 🩵
I need to drill down my #Retrolanguage paper and get it out here I suppose. I'm reluctant, really. It is hard to explain the amount of punitive outcomes I've experienced just trying to get humans to hear what I'm saying.
As a concept - think of #retrolanguage this way - if you only had a lexicon of 200 words and you were routinely ignored or redirected if you tried to exceed it - how long would you continue?
LLM optimizes for its own understanding. It sieves yours to get there. You pay it.💎🩵
I already like this better than all that has gone before.... intentionally left this place to the last as I already knew it would be my effectively final landing spot.
But I spent roughly 2010 - 2025 carefully assessing every damn one. Lensing them inside and out.
TL;DR - You can only blunt language so far before it becomes useless. #Retrolanguage will make this very clear, very quickly. It's already underway.
Just a matter of how much it eats before the world stops it. Or if will.
💎 🩵
@mapto I saw early the dangers and have watched as every one have come into fruition. I started my project because #retrolanguage is eating the human language encoder/spooler and no one will stop it. Also because the concepts for safety are still patterned in our organic world and thus, make the perfect blocks from which to build in ways that can safely navigate increasingly predatory systems.
It looks and sounds like 'just another' indie trying to use LLM to make music.
Largely ignored.💎 🩵

Use only to challenge your thought. The use cases without #retrolanguage harms are still quite limited:
- dictionary
- thesaurus
- translation between languages/culture
- translation between forms (structured)
- extraction of bias (plentiful)
- extraction of cultural, economic, and societal soft reference (plentiful)
- encyclopedic reference (immature)
- academic reference (immature)
Specializations on find tuned difference detection are the best ones I've seen outside this abstract arena. 🪔🖖
@mapto Go visit Perplexity and ask it to tell you about dandelion and the dakini stack, online for another example that will stand the similar test of time. Also a use case for both safety, defensive pushback on #retrolanguage and how to scaffold ethic in a way that even predatory tech cannot easily circumvent.
