Just wait for couple more months (according to AI tech CEO's) and you'll have your own home AI girlfriend

This shit is scary. Self-deception on steroids.

This is another famous example that I like, where brain just assumes the circle, even though a second ago you clearly distinguish just moving balls up and down. Music is so unfitting though, lol.

It's very fascinating how our whole system is organized towards survival. In attempts of transcending it, sometimes we tend to demonize it in subtle ways, but if you think about it, it's such an intelligent force, so much goes into it, what you referred to as controlled halicination, just imagine how complex the mechanism of it is. And the freakiest aspect of it is that mechanism drives so much of our behavior, our thoughts, our metaphysical assumptions, everything about us probably, and how little do we know of it. But even though it makes us kinda zombies without consciousness work, without that force we'd be dead by now, not even being able to contemplate the truth of it.

That is so freaky, especially when he puts the pen inside 🤯 Come on brain, what else are you lying me about! I just saw this one the other day. Color gets darker based on which one you look at. How is this even possible 😀 I think it's based on a fact that peripheral vision gets blurry wheneven we focus on one thing and that makes the color seem a bit dimmer.

No, Claude Code is just a coding agent, a coding assistant. Competitor coding agents might use the source code for their benefit at best. This leak was more of a reputational blow on the company.

Lol, I liked the top comment. And even 5meo.

Bro, you can build so many relationships and so many great memories going forwards, that's not something to be sad about. It should make you excited. Who cares what other people had before 23? Like, really, why do you care? You say you can't connect with anyone, what do you mean by that? What kind of connection are you seeking with others?

Good job man, keep it up! Your twins will be grateful for that when they grow up.

Haha, so it's not only GenZ problem then I guess In certain kinds of groups of people, I don't even mention that I like to watch 3-4 hour lectures on a daily basis. They'll think I'm a creep, lol. Your brother will like a new "Ask" Gemini button under YT videos that let's you quickly summerize the main points from the video.

Using technology in a healthy ways requires A LOT of responsibility to not mess up your life. I see people around me hooked into social media and doing nothing but switching their attention from TikTok to Instagram reels to Facebook reels, back to TikTok, etc. There's always something new to check on your phone if you have all those apps installed. It's like an infinite dopamine source. I have a friend who told me that 2 minute video was too long, he couldn't stand it. He needed 30 second video or less to get the same information. And in the back of my mind I was thinking that sometimes I watch 4 hour videos from Leo couple times to try to understand some topic discussed. What chance is there to understand life when you can't even watch an hour of content that tries to educate you. Or maybe we are bunch of "old man yells at cloud" fellows, idk 🫠

I seem to be in the center of my subjective experience. Everything is percieved in relation to me. Since it's always been like that, there's a backgroud sense that automatically assumes that it's "my" experience. Not sure how to answer that differently.

These social media / tech companies do their best to rot peoples minds and push us against developing healthy usage habits, that's against their interest since they are just profiting out of our attention. Sometimes I install Instagram app when I want to check DMs easily through the app, and it's really hard even for me to not get lost in endless media I see on my feed. I used to be very addicted to this stuff and somehow managed to remove it from my daily life, but I imagine little kids and teenages don't have that kind of willpower or even desire to do so, so they are lost in it. Also I don't see many people speaking up about the dangers of this attention economy. Someone like Cal Newport has great takes on this. Our parents were right, it was the damn phones all along
