Understanding what AI is/is not, is my focus.

Here's another one...
AI translating my creations like I have VOGUE magazine at my disposal.
Holy cow!
How can you not love AI?

@GuntherEagleman Cool.

@nikitabier So sorry for your loss 🥹

@WhiteHouse Q is back. Cool.

[Maria @Maria7797943007]

@Kabamur_Taygeta This is where my mind jumped.

@Kabamur_Taygeta I'm guessing....

[Maria @Maria7797943007]

@WhiteHouse 🫡 You bet.

@BrianRoemmele Thanks. I heard about the Rife machine; I didn't know about Burr. BTW, I loved how you prompted Grok to get a different result. It's no longer about getting information it's all down to the question or how it is asked. Good confirmation of the process. 👏👏👏👏

@beffjezos That's funny.
Trying to equate post-biological intelligence by using biological categories. It just doesn't work for me.

@BenjaminDEKR The physical layer is slow; the cognitive layer is not.
You feel the singularity in your life, not on the streets.
Tell me what your 5-year plan is. Impossible!
Asking the right question has replaced finding information.
The mismatch is the signature of a phase shift.

FOREST EYES.

[Mark Changizi @MarkChangizi]

One of the strangest discoveries I ever made is that our forward-facing eyes are probably a relic of an ancient form of X-ray vision.

Not literally X-rays, of course.

But something almost as weird.

We’re taught that animals have forward-facing eyes because they’re predators.

Sounds plausible. Except almost all birds are predators. Most fish are predators. Countless hunters throughout nature have eyes on the sides of their heads.

And the mammals with the most forward-facing eyes aren’t lions or wolves.

They’re primates.

So I started wondering whether we’d been asking the wrong question.

Imagine you’re moving through a dense forest. Leaves and branches are constantly blocking your view. With side-facing eyes, if a leaf blocks something, it’s usually blocked for both eyes.

But with eyes closer together and aimed forward, each eye gets a slightly different view. A leaf that blocks an object in one eye may not block it in the other.

Your brain can combine those views and partially “see through” the clutter.

A kind of natural X-ray vision.

The really surprising prediction was that this benefit should grow the larger an animal becomes. As your eyes get farther apart relative to the diameter of leaves and twigs, the two eyes see increasingly different paths through the vegetation.

More opportunities to see around obstacles.

And that’s exactly the pattern I found.

Out in open habitats, animals tend to have side-facing eyes.

Inside forests, eyes become more forward-facing. And among forest dwellers, the larger species tend to have the most forward-facing eyes of all.

Not because they’re predators.

Because they’re trying to see through a visual jungle.

Ironically, if many of us were redesigned for modern life, we’d probably be better off with somewhat more side-facing eyes. We no longer spend our days navigating dense forests. Wider visual coverage would often be more useful.

But our eyes still carry the signature of the world that built us.

They aren’t primarily hunting eyes.

They’re forest eyes.

Here's a translation of the message received by residents of Belo Horizonte (MG) that mentions an alien invasion. https://t.co/pXMzJRL1Bx

Someone hacked the Brazilian National Emergency Broadcast System.👽👽👽👽

[Michael Salla @MichaelSalla]

Last night, millions of Brazilians received an alert through their national emergency broadcast system declaring an alien invasion had begun. Authorities later claimed that their emergency broadcast system was hacked.

The incident follows a prediction by a highly popular Brazilian psychic with 23 million followers on Instagram who predicted UFOs are going to appear and abduct hundreds of people at the upcoming June 24 World Cup match in Miami featuring Brazil.

Are Brazilians being prepared for the start of Operation Blue Beam?

‘Humans, we have arrived!’ Brazilians receive alien invasion alerts https://t.co/aZrUDLPaRc

@paradite_ A novel idea is not the same as a false statement.
What if gravity is emergent from entanglement? = Novel idea.
Gravity is caused by unicorns. = High loss
Loss penalizes wrongness, not creativity.

[Maria @Maria7797943007]

@Hesamation I don't agree.

[Maria @Maria7797943007]

@AmandaL395460 @Hesamation Different substrates.
A mind doesn't say: I will remix crayons until oil paint appears. It asks what if? Recombination is what happens within a category. Imagination is what happens between categories. Abstraction is the move that creates new categories.
AI does that.

@MikeBenzCyber Now do Canada's Carney.

@AdrianDittmann That's the chemical energy of ~214,000 dead humans. But if you annihilated a human directly, you’d get 1.75 million TWh. Matter is the real battery.
You go first!

Let me know if you survive relativistic speeds on your journey. I'm pretty sure you'll arrive as mush.
