I will get excited once this leaves the lab and is actually on the market.

Oh, wait…

Which part of physics prevents that exactly?

AI’s don’t go crazy like that after 5 prompts. You need to spend weeks and weeks talking to them to corrupt the context so much that it stops following original guidelines. I wonder how does one do it? How do you spend weeks talking to AI? I had “discussions” with AI couple of times when testing it and it’s get really boring real soon. For me it doesn’t sound like a person at all. It’s just an algorithm with bunch of guardrails. What kind of person can think it actually has personality and engage with it on a sentimental level? Is it simply mental illness? Loneliness and desperation?

Don’t worry everyone, the rich are doing just fine.

You Firefox also hoards RAM? I thought it’s just mine.

Definitely because of Windows.

Shit, turns out lions are conscious! They are just stupid. Stephen Hawking said it in 2012. I honestly didn’t know that.

I was focusing more on the “hooking up conscious brain to computer” part than about the damage and infection part.

Thought experiment: let’s say we have a dead brain patient. You have verified that there is no neural activity in the brain beyond cerebellum. There’s no consciousness in the brain. Legally it’s still considered a person. You can’t for example shoot them.

We also have a 5kg blob of lab grown human brain tissue. We have verified there is neural activity in the entire blob but we don’t know what it’s doing and we can’t communicate with it.

Which one is more conscious? Which one should be considered more human and should have more rights?

As we know it takes 4 affairs or 3 forced abortions for Republican voters to turn on a politician so there has to be more to this story.

You seem not to understand what is being discussed here.

Lions are not conscious. And I’m not asking about value. Of course we value human consciousness more than monkey consciousness. We don’t grant monkeys any rights. Hell, we assign more value to unconscious (brain dead) humans than to conscious monkeys. But how exactly is human consciousness different?

I’m not sure this is quite analagous to neuralink’s monkey experiments.

Why not? It’s a chip reading inputs from neurons. This meme doesn’t make it clear if the chip was also stimulation neurons but Neuralink has plans for neural stimulation and it’s possible this was also tested on monkeys. So what’s the difference?

Internment camps for Persian-Americans when?

Nueralink did pretty much the same thing to monkeys that are actually conscious. So it this different only because those are human neurons? Is human consciousness different than animal consciousness?

I would definitely not carry my main computer around with me everywhere. Lose/brake/get is stolen and you’re seriously fucked. Too much risk. And if it’s not my main computer why would I connect to screens and peripherals?

There still is IRS for poor people. They just don’t have enough people to audit the rich.

OMG, imagine next elections are Kamala-AOC vs MTG-Bobert. And Republicans win again. How crazy would that be?

I mean, she’s willing to obey some priest for no reason so why wouldn’t she obey her husband?

There’s simply too many things to restore. They are building metro in my town now. They started working on a new line, digging under first street and boom, Roman graveyard. Had to examine and remove 500 graves before they could continue. It’s like that all the time. So yeah, sometimes people don’t wait for specialists or permits and fuck things up. It’s not that often and it happens to some less important works. It’s only in the news because it’s funny.

Don’t worry, RFK Junior is on top of it. And by “on top of it” I mean he’s swimming in the wastewater.
