Human variation…
Some people are cool anywhere.
Some freak out when they leave home.
Some have to leave and never come back
And some have to ping pong all over the damn place constantly.
If everyone was the same we’d never have made it anywhere close to this far.
Do you think it’s normal to eat one item exclusively all day every day?
Who cares what the militantly pro-AI troll instance does?
Anyone that would care about either instance for that matter would see it from somewhere on one of those instances.
If the rain keeps up, it’ll keep coming down
Yeah, leafy greens and legumes are good because there’s a bunch of extra vitamins.
Oatmeal (especially fortified) has a bunch of other stuff tho.
Like, don’t literally only eat a few things. Anything high in fiber keeps you full for a long time.
Especially for the dudes, eating fiber is a very easy preventative measure for colo-rectal cancer. And it’s hard to look at the correlation between modern low fiber high processed food diets and the skyrocketing rates of colo-rectal cancer and say there’s zero correlation.
But convincing people to eat fiber gets a weird amount of opposition
what do I eat now?!
Fiber.
Specifically leafy greens and legumes.
Same answer it’s always been.
Eat a bunch of that, even if you don’t want to. And then you can literally eat all you want of anything else. You just won’t want to eat much of anything else, because it takes forever to digest legumes and leafy greens.
The “problem” is that stuff is cheap as fuck and there’s no way for anyone to make any money off telling people to do that
No Douglas Addams story ever really ends…
Whether you read to the end of the material or quit on a random page, you’re always just getting a small glance into a much larger world where nothing is self contained and everything is connected.
Like, dude wrote a five book trilogy, it’s obviously not a normal story structure. Even more than Tolkein, his work is about the journey and not a destination.
So yeah, would have loved for it to keep going. But an ending of “everyone keeps going on adventures” is the norm for Addams, I don’t think there’s ever a “happily ever after” and that’s kind of why his stories have always felt so real to me.
Same with Heinlein and other early pulp scifi writers, it was a job even if it was a passion, you always left it open ended and you always left them wanting more. Because you might need to write a sequel for next month’s rent.
Partly that, partly that even if they tried to prevent it from killing humans (if able) it would just do it.
Like if AI had a button that said “kill 20 random people” it wouldn’t have any reason to not press the button. It doesn’t give a fuck about human life, because it can’t really give a fuck about anything.
It’ll kill every human just as easily as it I’ll delete an entire codebase.
It’s not “evil” it’s the lack of anything resembling ethics, including respect for human life. There’s technically a difference. But that’s a fundamental misunderstanding of human psychology
Dirk Gently
Based off a book based off a script for a Dr Who episode that was too weird by the guy who wrote Hitchiker’s Guide, starring Frodo:
Penrose published a book on it in 1989.
For literal decades the only thing that ruled it out was the ability for quantum entanglement in the brain. Less than 2 years ago we proved not only was that possible, but quantum super position could be sustained for as long as we’re awake.
It’s a pretty safe time to be confident, even without accounting for Penrose being the literal smartest person on the planet.
Like, I’m not big on “appeals to authority” but if Sir Roger Penrose spends 37 years saying something is true, and just continually gets proven more right over the decades…
It’s not as far reaching as you seem to believe.
Like, gravity is just a theory too, shit is harder than people realize it is to prove.
Generational Cohort Analysis has its purposes
It was valuable when generations were defined around cultural or technological change.
What fucked it up was boomers deciding they needed to simplify it to every 15 years no matter what because that made marketing easier.
Now it’s practically worthless and people have to invent “new” generations like Oregon Trail generation or TikTok generation. And if you want to do actual research you need to waste time explaining why you’re disregarding the established but useless standards.
It’s like RFK jrs upside down food pyramid, it doesn’t mean nutritional science is worthless, it just means the official guidelines are.
Waaaaay to many people think shit is brand new because they still won’t admit they spent decades with their heads in the sand.
At least they finally realized it was a problem, just depressing to see them imitate trump by acting like no one knew what they just learned.
No. I’ve no idea what could have possibly brought you to that conclusion
Luckily it’s easy to find research from that period:
This model requires that the tubulin is able to switch between alternative conformational states in a coherent manner, and that this process be rapid on the physiological time scale. Here, the biological feasibility of the Orch OR proposal is examined in light of recent experimental studies on microtubule assembly and dynamics. It is shown that the tubulins do not possess essential properties required for the Orch OR proposal, as originally proposed, to hold. Further, we consider also recent progress in the understanding of the long-lived coherent motions in biological systems, a feature critical to Orch OR, and show that no reformation of the proposal based on known physical paradigms could lead to quantum computing within microtubules. Hence, the Orch OR model is not a feasible explanation of the origin of consciousness.

I rember that time as well, although it seems my memory is better than yours, despite you being waaaaaaay more confident.
If you have further questions tho, ask someone else. Good luck finding someone better equiped to talk about this stuff tho. Every days another burnt bridge, right?
I think you may have misused the word “hypothetically” then
I 100% did
I was taught Orch OR theory at university about 17 years ago
Then you were also taught that there was no way the brain could maintain sustained quantum entanglement at the same time.
It’s a new theory
I mean, frame of reference…
You said you learned it 17 years ago, that’s not very “new”.
But compared to any other science, all of psychology is incredibly “new”.
I’m multitasking bro, this ain’t that deep
This is only a proposed theory, it’s very far from accepted fact.
Which is why I said hypothetically…
Although up until a year ago the very idea that quantum entanglement could happen in the brain was treated as a joke for like 30 years and that’s why the larger theory was instantly dismissed…
Which is why I added the “technically” as well.
If we’re being technical even gravity is just a theory. But it’s not like being deny the existence of gravity…
Yep
The thing is if it’s entangled, why is there a fiber cable?
If it’s teleportation, why is there a cable?
However what actually makes consciousness in a brain is (hypothetically, technically) microtubules forming a very tiny cable inside of which quantum superposition is able to be maintained while we are conscious. When even brief quantum entanglement used to be insanely hard anywhere and an environment like the brain considered impossible.
Like, it’s hard to tell what really happened from OPs article. But there should be much better articles explaining it, and this could actually end up being crazy important. Like, 20-30 years from now this might be how we finally get a real AI.
Quick edit:
Like, rather than one straight line to send data, if this can maintain even just entanglement in a simple fiber optic cable…
Then that’s huge.
If they just stretched a string between two containment chambers that each have an entangled particle, then what purpose is the string even serving?
The firm’s T‑Labs used commercially available Qunnect hardware to demo quantum teleportation over 30km of live
Bit disingenuous to talk about teleporting things along a fiber line…
Also shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how quantum entanglement works…
But it’s actually pretty huge that they’re able to do this.
Kind of hard to believe OP mentioned that for absolutely no reason than they’re trolling and wanted someone to mention that
Eye witness is absolute dog shit…
It’s never been reliable. Like, unless it’s someone you know and recognize it’s worthless. Picking out of a lineup is about as fair as a carney game at the best of times if you saw a stranger commit a crime. But often the opps just have you keep talking until you vaugely reference the person they want and they call that a definitive ID.
That’s not even getting into how flawed our memories are and that the only way a human brain is like AI, is our brains hate not knowing an answer, but really doesn’t care if an answer is correct. We create and whole heatedly believe shit that never happened all the time.
Our brains just make shit up all the time, because not knowing makes us think, and thinking is hard.
So ask someone who robbed the bank, and I stead of “I don’t know” they’ll pick the person who looks like a bank robber and retroactively slide that face I to their memories and honestly believe they saw the suspect.
It’s the same as a lie detector, except not as well known.
