@TinyTimmyTokyo Amphetamine (and related stimulant) psychosis is a well-characterized syndrome.
@YourNetworkIsHaunted @sneerclub Paris did that with almost all of its cemeteries as part of its late 18th century renewal. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catacombs_of_Paris
@istewart @sneerclub One thing Andreessen, Thiel, et al. have shown a real skill for is finding ways to use a LOT of computing power. Even if only as effective debtors-in-possession, I’m sure they’ll figure something out.
@friend_of_satan ChatGPT is a response engine. It is no more conscious than Galvani’s frogs legs were alive. It is entirely reactive, not creative. Its “behavior” is wholly deterministic.
As best we can tell, no living thing uses a digital — much less binary— logical model in its fundamental neurological unit. It’s all analog goo. Until we figure out how to build that sort of computer, we won’t have life-like computer entities.
Assuming otherwise is a fundamental error.
@Soyweiser @sneerclub It is not possible to understand neuroscience using a “hardware/software” paradigm. That is a model created by humans to make building working computers possible. Brains develop without any such abstraction constraining the process.
@dgerard I have a strong recollection that Keith Henson had intimate involvement with a cryonics project and actual published a rather harrowing account. Should be searchable.
@V0ldek @sneerclub For both Facebook and Netflix, the interesting technical challenges are secondary to scale.
@billseitz @froztbyte @V0ldek But F is obsolete.
It’s now MAGA.
Oh, wait: G is obsolete too
MAAA
@henfredemars Indeed, it is often associated with hydrocephalus, a condition rarely conducive to cognitive performance.
