It might not be that different from using a social network like Lemmy, you wouldn't necessarily have to be assimilated (in the sense of losing your identity), but you could more easily put yourself in someone else's shoes, your experience would be augmented. In an ideal world this technology could give you access to my memories and give me access to yours, I would know everything about you and you would know everything about me (no privacy, yes, but no power imbalance either), lying would be pointless and we would be able to feel what each other feels in the way we feel.

A good part of Humanity's problems are problems with language, communication, understanding others or rather the lack thereof. A technology like this could literally put us in other people's heads and thus perhaps help us develop greater understanding and empathy, at least I have hope for this.

That said, I don't trust the people running these companies to develop this with the benign long-term goal I've described. 🤣

On the other hand, if done correctly, we could become a federated hive mind and thus finally eliminate lying and achieve absolute empathy because we would be able to feel what the other feel as if it was us.

Ricin is natural and one of the most potent plant-produced poisons.

Furthermore, something can be efficient in different ways depending on the criteria. Something can even be efficient in one context and inefficient in a different one. Efficiency as they use it is too vague.

Felon practically admitted this last week.

The guy said the Democrats would control the House and even gave numbers for the Republicans in the Senate. What more do people need?

War, war never changes.

At this point maybe California should just become independent. Giving their money to states like Alabama is just a waste of resources.

Yeah, but a LLM has little to do with a biological brain.

I think Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) will be the real deal.

It seems we are heading towards the fallout timeline.

It's called Entropy and ironically it is also responsible for life.

A wall tends to fall apart (and not the other way around) because these individual pieces have greater degrees of freedom (of movement) than the wall itself. Living beings, through their exchanges with the environment, breathing, consuming and excreting, end up increasing the degrees of freedom of the matter in their vicinity.

In more concise words:

"Life, as a highly organized system, exists in a state of relatively low entropy, while the universe as a whole is constantly moving towards higher entropy (more disorder) according to the second law of thermodynamics. It may seem paradoxical, a violation of a fundamental law of physics, but life actually increases the overall entropy of the universe as it utilizes energy and resources to maintain its own order, eventually releasing waste and heat back into the environment."

In short, life ultimately increases movement, transformation, decay, disorder and thus death.

It's the worms talking for him. He's like that guy from Nightmare before Christmas.
