To represent the other side, I enjoy reading Urdu and Persian poetry but I will never be interested in reading anything generated by an LLM. No matter how 'high quality' it is represented to be, I'm aware that it was produced

No I can't estimate the time according to dream content at all. It could seem like hours in a dream even if I’ve only been asleep half an hour.

I'm at the opposite end. I dream every time I sleep, even if it's a 10-minute nap. Could be undiagnosed narcolepsy in my case, but it doesn't bother me enough to get it checked out. When you say "nothing happens", I

That we can know anything at all is a miracle in itself. It could have been just fine evolutionarily for us Earth creatures to be no more than Large Action Models with no inner experience, but somehow we ended up as these perceiving, cogita
