Just go full Idealism. All things that can be - just are. A block universe, of all possible things and all possible interrelation of things. A giant timeless crystal of qualia. It's pretty obvious to me now. One location in the latent

I'm very interested in this tech and have been working with it. I have heard tell of a CSAM model. I wont say anymore because I don't want to feed that hideous fire. I would add though - if Moore's law continues this will be

Gary Marcus is so deep into the "connectionism doesnt work" rabbit hole that he'd deny his own sentience if it turned out he was made of silicon. I just ignore him as he only appears to be getting more and more incorrect.

I think this is why doctors consider chronic pain kind of not a thing. We are supposed to recalibrate. But I'm personally pretty sure this is nonsense and they have convinced themselves this is true so they don't have to feel bad

because it's very easy to get someone into a white van and close the doors without much fuss. If you wanted to kidnap someone what would you choose? You've never heard of rape and murder for sexual gratification? I find your innoc

Covid is as catchy as measles. That means it's probably not just airborn but exceptionally so. It's in the air outside. It's in air in ventilation systems. It's in the sewers. There are cases where outbreaks have happene

I think ball lightning is likely responsible for a lot of uap sightings. It may explain the phenomena to such a degree that we can consider it solved. But to explain ball lightning I think we are going to need some pretty unusual physics. M

I had my first mechanical keyboard delivered a few days ago and I must say I am thoroughly enjoying the experience. Each key somehow feels nicer. Placebo, or intrinsically more enjoyable sounds and tactile experiences? I believe it's t

The point of language is to convey meaning. Did you understand the meaning? Yes. Mission accomplished. Your whinge is just a social signal about how old/wise/complicated/sophisticated you are. You know it is, stare into yours
