Years ago i realized that my dreams were more interesting than my waking life. So with steely-eyed determination i started taking naps every chance i got.
Elon Musk is banking on that and Elon is pretty good at making improbable things happen, so i think it'll be possible even within our lifetime...though very dangerous!
But i believe space travel in the sense of exploring other solar systems and exoplanets will be left almost exclusively to AI and robots, while we'll follow along with virtual reality from the comfort and safety of our homes.
Which is why i assume if we are ever visited by aliens, they'll likely be in the form of intelligent machines rather than living, breathing creatures. But then again, what do i know? :D
This is why the left often make things worse even if intentions were supposedly good. For they ram through their agenda in underhanded or misleading ways, the means justifying the end, but 'underhanded means' corrupt the end result. And we see that everywhere in western societies today.
@crf1995 On the flip side: even the largest stars or largest galaxies or the most centrally located objects in the Universe, if barren of life, are utterly insignificant compared to our little humble abode here in the cosmos. We're the ultimate underdog and overachiever, hooray for us :D
@theclearthinke1@ConceptualJames You're right, that is the case in recent times. Back when i was going to school it was there and i could feel it, but wasn't as blatant as it has become. I'm not sure which is worse. The more blatant, the more conservatives feel the need to push back instead of just accepting it.
@theclearthinke1@ConceptualJames And said 'education' was often accompanied by an underlying disdain for non-liberals as nothing more than stupid heartless neanderthals. So if you wanted to be seen as smart, or at least as a decent and caring person, the easiest path was to align yourself with liberals.
@crf1995 Fascinating, but hard to wrap my head around early in the morning here. So space expansion doesn't have a speed limit. It's sad knowing one day virtually all galaxies will be out of sight from each other due to this expansion. Imagine if humanity had first emerged at such a time.
@crf1995 When seeing images like this, s/t i have to remind myself what i'm really seeing. At first glance it appears simply a flat spiraling object containing 30 or so bright specks. Of course in reality it is not so flat and is home to millions of stars, planets & maybe even creatures.
@BitingNews@JonathanTurley Intelligence can be fickle. I've known some very intelligent people who believed some very stupid things esp in politics. More cynically i suspect many higher-ups are simply power hungry & don't care if socialism works or not, so long as it works for them.
@hangry_dad@JonathanTurley Years ago Biden was more moderate but his presidency was anything but that. He surrounded himself with far left types, including his border czar and his director of homeland security. Platner, et al are saying whatever will get them elected. Bait and switch. Just like the Va gov.
@hangry_dad@JonathanTurley I wasn't referring so much to specific policies or a precise moment in time, but rather to the overall direction of the party in recent years. It has gone from trending mostly moderate left for decades, to now sprinting to the extreme left and showing no signs of slowing down.
@PhysInHistory I can definitely quibble with this quote (sometimes you have to power through even though it's a major pain to do so), but overall it's a nice way to frame learning.
@hangry_dad@JonathanTurley Not saying Republicans are perfect. But in my eyes Dems are becoming more and more extreme with the likes of Mamdani, the squad, Platner and others, so that the D party is virtually unrecognizable from the party of 20 years ago. And there is no sign of trying to course correct.
@crf1995 Just think, it launched the same year that Star Wars was released. Mere coincidence? Or an omen of interstellar warfare coming our way once aliens learn of our existence?! Or is this post simply a sign that i have too much time on my hands to think about these things? Hmm.
@DavidArgir62327@konstructivizm For fun let's say each galaxy gives rise on avg to one advanced species for ~2 trillion such species. Big #, but odds are we'd never know they exist. Too far. So eliminate other galaxies from consideration. Still decent chance, but not a certainty that high IQ ETs are in MW.
@crf1995 That is quite spectacular. On a whimsical note, one might imagine 7753 as having slammed 7752 down with its spiral arm while angrily shouting "you're invading my space, get out!"
@OwenGregorian The article had nothing to do with religion, so why did they preface the article with that photo? I think that in and of itself is revealing.
BOOOM! WE DID IT!
BRAINWAVE TO REAL-TIME MUSIC AI!
It has been a life long decades quest to read brain activity and to convert it to words, and/or music, colors and/or images.
Today I am very excited to announce with the assistance from Mr. @Grok director of The Zero-Human Lab, we have solved brainwave to music and this is the absolute worse it will be.
We found the code using an array of NeuroSky toy chips and our software pipeline connecting to open source ACE-Step 1.5 and a highly modified LoRA model we built for this. The lyric version is in testing now.
This would mean that the model will interpret words from the brainwaves and music!
Today we have the music side done and the quality and genera will expand. The is the worse it will sound.
Your Brainwave Music™️will be cut into 2-5 minute pieces based on a number of factors.
The specimen below is from a dream/hypnogogic state I was in last night and I have a recording of my thoughts after the state. The music was made in real-time and GUIDED the dream state with known technology like binaural beats (not easy to hear in this clip) and word back masking.
This specimen below shows the interplay of my brain state to the music made by my brain and adjusted to produce profound insights. I solved a very difficult issue in this session with a new AI model.
IT FREAKING WORKS!
THIS IS OUR FUTURE OF MORE POWERFUL BRAIN FUNCTION!
Our goal is to produce a portable device you wear and will be able to give real-time audio and PEMF (skull region), ultrasound (temple region) to maximize creativity and remote viewing.
It is very early days but I wanted you to know first!
YOUR support of my X account, just by reading this and sharing it, subscribing to my X, buying me a https://t.co/vvaNPw980t, and becoming a member at https://t.co/uwusvOVZqZ supports this research.
I will open source this at some point and build a device ANYONE can own.
Thank you!
I love you.
