  1. Past hour
  2. Things can definitely seem to matter! Does the inner drive of a serial killer matter? Is it actually important weather or not the egg gets fertilized? Was it crucial that the Japanese were unsuccessful at attempting to conquer the US during WW2? Is a robot that's programed to avoid destruction, important to keep intact? Does it matter if someone is successful at committing suicide or the so-called inner drive of reality is hurdling an asteroid the size of texas, at planet earth?
  3. I m mildly more funny than leo and less cringe by at least 10 points. I reckon that leo is advanced as much as me, I think I might be slightly more enlightened, but I'll be honest, I wouldn't have become better than him without him.
  4. @Grateful Dead This should be enough for this talk.

  5. Let us see your face

    first time i have heard that word! yippie ^__^
  6. I mean body as body and mind / entire body. It is perfect it is the reason of experiencing entire existence, which is love itself. Body can be sick, feel good etc... Being sick or healthy is your assumption as good and bad, or perfect or not. Put a stick in your ass, and see the reaction of the mind / oh sorry body is mind projection. Literally put a stick and see the projection. Moreover, actually mind is an imagination. Like mind or like consciousness. Brain is something like jelly, like kidney, or colon. So, there is mind as brain, and body. Not the mind that you imagine.
  7. You couldn't tell a 90-year-old smoker with COPD dying from lung cancer from a 2-month-old baby.
  8. https://www.actualized.org/insights/no-physical-world This snippet caught my eye. Game is a potent medium of High Art. In order to seriously explore this idea, the idea of what a game is, has to die out. Most won't have a clue what they wanted until they get it. I invite you all to think not in terms of what you want inside the game. But rather purely on the basis of what you wanna feel. Be as abstract as you can.
  9. The only thing that is worse than AI prose is cringe condescension using Leo language models (LLMs).
  10. This is a weird response. How is his analogy perfect?

    It's always your story and not her story notice that!
  13. I don't have an end game here. Quite the opposite.
  14. I've been really considering where the gap is between AI and humans in terms of wisdom and intellect. A big one is being able to upgrade AI to be able to sense - light, smell, touch, hearing etc. I reckon they will make a huge leap forward when we advance to that stage

    I talk as a maniac, I know. Anyway, thanks for the conversation.
  16. This is what is being missed. Great point.
  17. @Joseph Maynor I’m not sure what’s the end game here for you. . Articulate your thoughts in a lengthy paragraph and stop posting vague one-liners . You are free to write what you want of course..but I’m telling you what I’m going to respond to and what I’m not .
  18. Okay. No harm no foul. Carry on with what you do.
  19. Come on man. What is the human being called you.
  20. Yeah, I too am finding it increasingly difficult to assess a girl's age by looks alone. There's always at least like 5 years range for error. She could be 25, but another one at 30 and another at 20 would look very similar. It's like they're being molded from the same plastic template. And it makes it harder to approach, because of the age gap. I'm 30, and don't want to hit on 20 year olds. And it's generally rude to ask a woman's age, so that makes it even harder. And even when you ask, they tend to lie about it. It's crazy. I think makeup is a big part of this phenomenon, but I like the input others have contributed here.
  21. There’s a human being called Joseph. I’m not denying that . What I’m saying this Joseph is not intrinsically independently existing . Air from the outside environment entering your body 24/7. The food you eat create the very physical tissues of your muscles. The podcasts you listen to shape your way of thinking . I’m Indian yet listening and reading content with English has made me literally thinking in English instead of Hindi . Do you see ? “I” am not the creator of what I utter or do . It seems like I’m the emergence of things which are not me . I can’t be blamed 100% for my convictions or emotions. Reality is doing me . I’m not doing reality .

    Woaw I didn’t realize this is such an old thread
  23. Of course, form is limited but we can and we must open ourselves to the unlimited, because it's the only possibility in our position. As I see it, human society has gone through three major phases. The first was the tribal phase, where the individual and the tribe were one. The second was the civilization of dogma, where the individual was supported by duty, law, religion, and belonging. And finally, in the West, after the psychedelic revolution of the 50s and 60s, the counterculture emerged as a symptom, the manifestation of a process that destroys the pillars of society and breaking down continuity. At a certain point, for the first time in human history, new generations absolutely despised the values of the previous ones. Human beings glimpsed freedom and believed that all humans would be brothers and sisters without law or religion, without commitment or family. imagine all the people living for today, you know. The supreme value became the individual. What could go wrong? Teenagers raising teenagers. The society of likes, where being liked is the supreme value, a partner a tool, and the only purpose is to be happy. This leads to the total isolation of the individual, bubbles of ego that use each other as a drug and a source of dopamine. Okay, this certainly sounds better than living in the Middle Ages, but wait until you get old. The individual sustains themselves through projecting into the future, but that ends, and psychiatric medication is needed. This isn't bad; it's a phase change. There's only one path, and that's a true openness to the ultimate nature of reality. This sounds like a joke and a lie, but it's absolutely real

    Consciousness is universal. A human is as consciousness as a rock. AI is as consciousness as a human. It's the same substance.
  26. I've noticed a few gamedevs here. I'm really curious if anyone is building a solipsistic artifact. My question for everyone else, what do you imagine a game based on solipsism would be like? What kind of experiences do you wanna have?
