@tszzl @MadSubrahmanyam yup, gun to my head i’d guess some weak version of panpsychism is true. just the least weird option among very weird options

[Nemo @thecaptain_nemo]

either you can arrange dead things in a certain way and those dead things "wake up" or there's already some level of awareness in everything and compute/sensors/bodies are just tools it can use

both possibilities are extremely weird

@tszzl kurzweil is, and has always been, unfairly clowned on

AI labs should give bonuses for writing ominous public resignation letters. big fundraising booster

“yes my equity just vested…but i actually only resigned bc i witnessed the GODLIKE POWER we unleashed, solely for the benefit of our investors…can’t discuss details due to NDA”

@sivori you forgot hgh

@Duderichy to be fair, all of them (maybe excluding asprey) are mostly focused on diet/exercise/sleep

[Nemo @thecaptain_nemo]

@samswoora almost everyone is way underestimating the level of political fallout coming once AI starts hitting the white collar labor market in a big way

@Nexuist happy birthday!

@Degen_CPA maybe true generally but anecdotally doesnt seem true at the extreme

the most socially awkward people ive ever met were all stem phds

the year is 2025 and there are AI generated “archival” videos of Carl Jung talking about social media addiction on Youtube with more than a million views

counterintuitive that mammals’ sleep needs are roughly negatively correlated with their weight

mice need around fifteen hours. elephants only need around two

@emmalsalinas hope you got a second opinion

[alth0u🧶 @alth0u]

may i meet you in every life

seems like a big red flag that so many of the godfathers of the psychedelics movement totally let themselves go physically

[Nemo @thecaptain_nemo]

always struck me as odd that psychedelics don’t (usually) cause people to megashift their habits to be much healthier

like you’ve seen that your body is capable of what you just experienced and you’re not treating it like the tabernacle?

[Nemo @thecaptain_nemo]

this is even more true if you think (a la the recent teno post) the experience is entirely mind generated
