> I don't want to necessarily block MrBeast, I just don't want to see him when I don't follow him. Is there a mute feature like on Twitter? I use that all the time.

This is the biggest communication problem most people have. Say it plain and simple. No one wants to read your train of thought.

Rate limiting is fine, but these limits are obviously far too low. Ten minutes of scrolling twitter and then I'm locked out for the day?

Can't wait until our technology allows us to talk to them. Some dolphins have more than twice the number of neurons we do. I bet they've got some interesting things to say.

I wonder how far off we are from something like the battle school game from the book Ender's Game. That is, an immersive video game that uses player actions, choices, exploration etc. in order to generate not only new content, but enti

The Mechanical Hound slept but did not sleep, lived but did not live in its gently humming, gently vibrating, softly illuminated kennel back in a dark corner of the fire house. The dim light of one in the morning, the moonlight from

When we have the technology to extend or replace our own neurons with artificial ones, then we can start to answer these questions. Rebuild your ship and find out if you're still Theseus.

I'm impressed by the responses here. I wonder if it's possible to write something in plain language that can be read, which is also represented by the image it generates. An attempt: pick a card, any card. pick a card, any card. p

I just did the same thing. It sent me on a campaign to recover an ancient artifact, but it played out the whole scenario for me without stopping to ask what decisions I would make, and there was zero conflict along the way. Nice description

I think you've got it backwards. Humans desire status because it represents power, not the other way around. Loss of power, by which I mean the ability to enact one's will on reality, is a death-knell to any living creature.

Kafka, Sartre, and Borges walk into a cafe. Kafka orders the bottomless coffee. Borges orders one of everything. Sartre orders nothing because, as he explains, "I am the waiter."

This is a good article, but I don't think Philip K Dick is a good example of either BS or the in-between. The literary equivalent of getting by with BS is the shallow, derivative work ghostwritten for a celebrity that's been prelo
