I was thinking it might be something everybody does in highschool or something. Every morning you spend an hour training your AI shadow. Everybody gets one. So useful, like a cell phone.

It could detect intent to deceive. Or the brain-mode specific to lie-crafting.

by swayvil 3y ago
Your objections are that training is required and that where and how the lie is uttered might bear. Mere technical hurdles IMO.

And then we demand that all our police and lawmakers and public servants get hooked up to the machine and then the next day it's illegal tech.

Ya I was thinking the same thing. Requiring a brain operation to make it work would be a deal breaker. Need an MRI or something.

by swayvil 3y ago
This kind of brain-reading certainly seems to be in the same general species as lie detection. So it must exist. An AI device that takes a thousand data points off your brain and tells you lie or not. What would we do if we had a ~100% accu

Yet this is a clear demonstration that SOMETIMES the authority is definitely NOT right.

The subject is esoteric therefore individuals cannot do research alone? I don't see how that follows.

Maybe if you have a dozen peers around to compare notes. But the subject is esoteric. Peers are in short supply.

I used to do concentration meditation. Then did concentration and vipassana. These days just vipassana.

Meh. We don't need a science. The last thing we need is a bunch of fine models and discussion. What we need is some basic, dead-simple experiments that anybody can do. Experiments that show you that there's something there. And t

Ya, the meditation scene is 99.99% pure bullshit. And that's a crime. First job for anybody trying to figure out this stuff is to scrape away the gunk and find a pearl of truth. You have to do your own research. There is no substitute.

Meditating for 30 years. "Psychedelic experiences", superhuman, supernatural, crazy magic out-of-matrix stuff. Ya. It's real.

A big manifestation of that is quoting. You see a lot of that in some scenes. Whole discussions where nobody issues a personal opinion. Only copy-pasting authoritative utterances. And if you ask for an interpretation of one of those quotes

Could an AI write a JIT custom window manager? Or would that be too unreliable?

>"desire to be publicly accessible at all times" Is this a variety of FOMO? (Fear of missing out). I hear that's a big thing now. And of course there's the employee version of that too. Where boss can talk to you 24-7

Add "desire for anonymity" to that list of symptoms. A recent survey (1) found that "because I'm afraid of crazy people tracking me down" to be in the top 3 reasons for preferring anonymity on social media. Consider

With some "neurological disorders", the malady could be called a deviant unconscious action. So a cure could be to make the unconscious action, conscious. All kinds of unconscious action can be made conscious. Even the beating of

Asking as submissive act. Thus avoided. I've seen that in internet conversations. Where a simple question would do, a prolonged process of guessing, assuming and even accusing is embarked upon. Because none of the participants wants to

Hey I read Lost Girls. It's by Alan Moore (Watchmen, Swamp Thing...). It's good.

Sometimes the client wants to talk about code. He wants to be involved in the technical decisions. But he doesn't know diddly about code. So you have these frustrating conversations and try not to call the client an idiot.

Success is to blame. Success is a deviation from a billion years of carefully crafted method for getting by in the universe. The greater the success, the greater the deviation. And like a new chemical in the water, or a novel way for your b

Isn't "cargo-cult-science" simply "engineering"? You use the models handed down by the researchers because they work. They help you make machines and navigate reality and such. There's nothing shameful in that.

Oh there's a whole lying taxonomy and nomenclature. Be assured of it. But only the members of the inner house are allowed to see it. It is restricted technology.

1) People want X 2) Tell people a big lie about how to acquire X. 3) Chortle, possibly profit.

I disagree with your thesis but the fact that your original reply got flag-murdered bugs me.

First they provide a welcome, but unnecessary, service. Then you come to rely on the service. Then they start giving you orders.
