Interesting, if ultrasound effects the brain, then maybe specific pattern could be used to non-destructively stimulate it?

Oh, the irony of writing an angry post about benefits of anger.

Many open source efforts seem to belong to this category as well.

Some time ago I stumbled onto a bizzare "Peter Thiel on Political Theology" Tyler Cowen episode. Of Course Cowen is on this list.

If this argument was as solid as you say, then all routine checks would be pointless.

I don't know about traditional blood testing, but a permanent implant which checks HR, pressure, glucose, temperature & oxidation would be pretty useful, not necessarily to diagnose anything, but to provide data for doctor when patient has actual symptomps.

Coal margarine, this protein powder and some vitamins, I wonder how long human could survive on such "diet".

Not to mention that you can also ask LLM to summarize any of his books, and get the gist.

Reading an entire book may be more beneficient for habit forming, but most readers probably don't care about this.

What makes us conscious anyway? As I write this sentence, my brain generates words and contracts specific muscles in my hands to type, but I don't really understand how. I'm just aware that it happens. Apparently I'm no aware of every single neuronal activity, so what I am aware of?

I agree about definition confusion. I like to define consciousness as "capability to suffer".

Can cow/dog/spider suffer? - very important question, even if not answerable.

Yeah, it's not immediately obvious, but if we created perfect utopia where conditions are ideal, perfectly matched for given individual, heritability would be 0%.

It's intriguing that some parts of brains are conscious, some are not. What's the difference?

Sounds right. I wonder why it is so hard to notice in regular everyday consciousness.

DMN starts when you are doing something trivial and start thinking about something completely unrelated.

It's kinda like falling asleep, except more coherent.

When I read the title I expected some kind of satire. I wonder if author considered giving the AI a penance.

Maybe if it wrote "I will not delete production database again" a million times, it would prevent such situations in future?

Humans tend to confabulate when asked "why you did X", funny how LLMs are pretty much the same.

Imagine ideal future, and consider if it's achievable without AI.

Being forced to work is not much different from slavery, I would rather roll the dice than keep the status quo.

IMO, if we had enough brain scans paired with descriptions of subjective experience, we could create a decent bridge between objective and subjective.
