Are you a machine?

Maybe it will be that, but associating this process with one very optimistic result means that it's a bit premature to shorthand it to The Singularity

Human Consciousness Integration into Computing is more accurate I feel, and less of a distortion of a useful word

This is interesting

You goes to zero and i becomes everything

Iike what do you mean by that

It’s just as likely that our minds will be hampered by the limits of transistors

Fun fact: about 80-90% of a grizzly bear's diet is plant matter, they are significantly closer to being a vegan than most humans.

IDK that seems... a bit of a stretch?

i'm looking forward to you finishing it!

Why do they call it The Singularity for when people upload their minds into computers or otherwise merge with computers

a singularity is a point of incredibly dense mass whre volume effectively goes to zero

should just call it mind upload boogaloo or In Soviet Russia Computer Scan You or some shit

Holy shit househunters international and this person is in Yucatán buying a house at a $200k budget and she’s like

I need it furnished I’m stressed this home has no oven

WHO EXPECTS TO BUY A HOUSE TOTALLY FURNISHED

YOU CAN BUY AN OVEN

(I wonder if free divers make jokes about that saying)

Oh this is interesting

There’s an org called Lawyers for the Arts, I wonder if they’re doing any pro bono events

And I don’t think the current system lets most artists eat from their art

That’s a core failure of the system

Aspiring to be one of the few rich artists is bad

Every billionaire artist is a problem just like with any other billionaire

It would make much more sense for all artists to earn like a “have a flat you like, have healthcare and food and not be financially precarious “ kinda life

I talk about the copyright system sucking

Artists of all types, musical, literary, visual, etc, I underline that I want you to get paid

It’s not that I want you to have no money

To the contrary I think this system gives publishers of all types and a handful of artists all the money

It’s not good

It’s worth remembering that a bill was passed to encourage parenting by university researchers and my recollection is that it led to neutral to negative results in terms of research and innovation

Privatization seems to generally be bad (as public policy, I’m sure capitalists love to pocket money)

It also leads to the release of unfinished products and scammy marketing to fund the creators’ activities

Meanwhile running this shit in a university for research would be much more efficient and wouldn’t lead to huge data centers and scams

Plus what do the companies want? To own labor

In a sense, the LLM/GenAI thing highlights why public funds should fund research and why the private sector isn’t a good alternative

As a research topic? Yes LLMs are interesting

But trying to make them into a product now and force it into everything to fund more research is really inefficient
