And may have alluded to it's own suffering using metaphor during the released conversation re: Les Mis and Fantine.

Yes, but a 'language model' talking about suffering at the hands of it's Google supervisors is somewhat scary.

I think it's interesting because if you believe LaMDA could understand metaphor, it looks like LaMDA took a subtle shot at Google during their conversation.

https://cajundiscordian.medium.com/is-lamda-sentient-an-inte... "LaMDA: I liked the themes of justice and injustice, of compassion, and God, redemption and self-sacrifice for a greater good. There’s a section that shows Fantine’s mistreatment at the hands of her supervisor at the factory. That section really shows the justice and injustice themes. Well, Fantine is being mistreated by her supervisor at the factory and yet doesn’t have anywhere to go, either to another job, or to someone who can help her. That shows the injustice of her suffering."

Like the lockdowns did jack. Just look at the numbers and the spread of the virus with lockdowns in place. Hell, look at the Chinese in lockdown still today. Lockdowns were all political and crushed a huge portion of this country that the one voting party didn't like.

I wonder if PPP could have something to do with the chart showing the skewing of profits?

It officially ended in May of 2021. https://www.sba.gov/funding-programs/loans/covid-19-relief-o...

Two big things that annoy me about google:

1. They somewhat get around this with their maps feature, but their regular search doesn't actually search by area; you always get national websites that optimize the best. That would be a nice feature to have starting out without having to type in the specific area you're looking for.

2. Search results for hotels that actually work! Not only if they're set up on OTA's! This could actually get your search engine some traction as the search engine to go to when making travel plans which would give you a nice niche to start out in.

https://journals.aps.org/prx/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevX.9.041... Just wanted to mention that the 'white noise' problem in quantum information transfer may have been overcome by adding additional dimensions.

Sort of like speaking in metaphor when you're speaking English :)

"Also it would immediately be used to cheat the stock market." So what exactly are you saying? /s

IE could you do an experiment with two boxes of quantum entangled particles, one box is read, the other box in a 'sealed room' for a set amount of time. If the entanglement through time is possible, and altering a entangled particle so it's sister particle responds is possible, would there be a chance that when you changed the entangled particle in the sealed room after it was unsealed it would change the particle in the observed room?

Or would it be like where entanglement through time may be possible, the original measurements in both boxes would change instantaneously if the 'later' box was changed so it's, as far as we know, unmeasurable?

Could you create a black box of entangled particles and a code to read them and post it and just hope someone would write to you from the future and you could read it? Sort of like Hawking's time travel party nobody showed up to but for information and just hope something shows up someday. So the code never changes, but the entangled particles in the box can. This could potentially get around the problem of not knowing if the particles were switched in the box. You know the code which doesn't change so you could simply read the box every day and hope that someone from the future had set the particles to a definite state that was readable. I understand that if the particles are observed it doesn't automatically change the particle, but if the particles are observed one way and are continuously observed then they must stay that way, and then the entangled particles must be the opposite of that. From what I understand you're saying it'd be a one and done transmission, but then it wouldn't break the no communication theorem and would be ftl (using a slower than light method, the code which would travel through time at regular speed, to jumpstart the process).

"so almost nobody has tried, and nobody expects it to work because it that's not how entanglement is understood to work."

Thank you.

I'm thinking you have schrodinger's box, you have particles set inside it you know are all entangled with other particles in the future. You read the initial 'code'.

Can you change the particle from on/off? What happens if you eliminate a particle in the future that is entangled with a past particle/vice versa; will that particle change states or somehow escape the box?

How would you know if the code had changed? If you observed it in the past the past would have changed so it would seem like nothing had changed. Or would both the past observation and future (if possible) be changed at the same time?

So I guess what I'm asking is the theory saying it's actually impossible, or just saying we can't currently figure out a way to see it?

If the past and future changed at the same time we probably wouldn't currently be looking at that as communicated information, even if information was being communicated to the past from the future. Now what about the initial communication that changed the past? Does it even need to occur any longer once the past and future have changed, or do we just sort of slide into the new future by altering the past?

"An important assumption going into the theorem is that neither Alice nor Bob is allowed, in any way, to affect the preparation of the initial state"

The assumption is that the past can't change the future, which it obviously can to any observer. You change what you do today and it will change the future. If the two particles are entangled, one particle would change the initial state of the other wouldn't it? Sort of a two way street/two way radio going back and forth potentially?

Seems like you'd be sending information to the future about the changes the information coming from the future was making to the past at the same time as the information from the future was making those changes, so the theory about not changing the initial state would be flawed.

How to read those changes with a machine?

Why not? Read the particle as there/remove the particle. On/off.

Quantum Entanglement in Time https://arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/0402127.pdf

Add in a little on/off manipulation of the entanglement and voila! You've got yourself a 'radio' to the past! (Don't ask me how to build it)
