Someone just open-sourced a full 3D Gaussian Splat editor that runs 100% in your browser.

It's called SuperSplat. You can inspect, edit, optimize, and publish photorealistic 3D scenes with zero install.

100% Open Source.

@RoundtableSpace It looks cool, but for it to become a game, much more is needed than a visual representation. In this article, I list exactly what that is:

At this point one might ask: “Why would you need a real economy in a world where people have no jobs?” But the absence of work, even in utopian scenarios, does not mean the absence of value or scarcity.

An economy with the possibility of cashing out into the real world will become the standard for all games with economies, because this fits naturally into a simulation in which most people have no obligatory work, yet do have games in which they spend a great deal of time and which they regard as useful to themselves as part of life activity.

Bacteria that consume foliage, in the course of evolution, passed on to fungi the ability to create proteins that generate rain. The forest floor controls the weather.

It seems that the hard problem poses the question, “What is a player in a game when we can only see the game world, but not the player’s world? Is there a player after all?” whereas you reduced it to, “What is a character, and what can one experience in the game?”

the hard problem of consciousness is not a real problem, please stop tying yourselves in knots. also, some thoughts on qualia as the basis of morality (incoherent imo) and the likelihood of LLMs ever having what we recognize as qualia or 1st person experience (low but irrelevant)

@robbiebone @ylecun @elonmusk Actually, the more modern paradigm is the opposite: cells are intelligent.

So intelligence is even more accessible than it seemed; perhaps it is one of the fundamental properties of all living things, or of everything in general.

A colour symbolising water and nature. The central object symbolises our Sun or Earth. The small circle represents the Moon in relation to Earth — just as a satellite, without exact proportions — or Earth in relation to the Sun. The triangle is a human-made object, whether pyramids, satellites, or future AI servers.

As part of the ongoing discussion about the flag of humanity, the design could have a more complex version, but my proposal for the overall concept is this:

[Tatermand @Tatermand]

I’m sorry you had to go through that, and I’m glad you were able to overcome it and have made it your goal to help others who have found themselves in a similar situation. I sincerely wish you success in your search.

You might find it interesting to explore Sikhism in its fundamentals if you’re not already familiar with it. In my view, it is a very advanced system of religious belief.

I don’t have a clear-cut opinion about religions and ideologies, whether Marxism, Islam, Christianity, or something else, beyond the fact that, even if they have certain strengths, they are incomplete today as ideologies. It seems to me that an ideology reveals its full potential when it allows people to build something together, rather than making resistance or preservation its main aim. At certain points in time, they may have been capable of creation, but today something else is needed — something more comprehensive and more mindful of the mistakes of the past.

Quite a solipsistic take. Your true motive is, in fact, unknown to me. I’m judging based on how you express your thoughts when communicating with others.

You know, I’m something of a mystic myself. This kind of knowledge cannot be measured by the systemic instruments you’re referring to, in my view. Gnosis is what matters in perceiving such truths, and it can be different for each person. That is the main essence of my message.

How about this: God is a bacterial community, what surrounds us and existed before multicellular organisms. Bacteria communicate and process information just as the cells of our body do, only at lower speeds. While humans still maintained cultural or biological ties with them, they asked for sacrifices and for certain biological protocols to be observed. DNA is not the only source of biological information, even heritable information. There is also bioelectricity — not an esoteric phenomenon, but the voltage across cell membranes. And then, even within the most materialist ontology, there is still some kind of beginning: the Big Bang, the merging of universes, some beginning of the cycle of being that we observe.

What I mean is that you are pushing your view far too categorically and want to conduct the conversation within its framework, but you are making no effort to understand that there are different perspectives on reality, and even when they contradict one another, they may all still be true.

Looking inward does not necessarily imply solipsism. You can look inside yourself and see billions of cells reflecting and refracting your consciousness, and in that way better understand the other entities around you. All these diverse systems of perception can be workable for navigating our reality, creating a stable and diverse society.

@fink_joel75048 @GreatNoontide @SydSteyerhart Joel, what if souls/observers have different origins and therefore different starting and ending coordinates of existence? Could it be that all these views are simultaneously true? There is some source from which everything began/exist; some see it as God, others as nothingness.
