You don’t understand. It uses way more calories than humans to do the same work. It is only profitable, because for now we still have abundant cheap oil, so like tens of thousands of virtual human slaves operate this robot. That’s not efficiency in energy sense, that’s only efficiency in the market sense. The only inventions that can beat efficiency of biological organisms are the devices that amplify abilities of biological agents, like a bicycle or some machine with levers. Solar panels are worse at converting light to energy than tree leaves. And you don’t need as much energy to grow a tree as to build a panel (which also enetually dies and needs rebuilding, just like a tree). Maybe now you get the idea of how biology wins.

You guys do you. I prefer sex with a girlfriend, which as an experience probably hasn't changed much since the 80s.

@OBEler Any serious task. I have used it thoroughly, ChatGPT4 is shit. Maybe GPT4 (non-chat edition) with bigger memory would be usable but they don't allow you to buy access to it. First, technical improvements never have surpassed human efficiency. Biology still wins. Second, where the fuck are you going to source your energy in the future? Humanity is on a crash course right now, unless we miraculously find some quality energy sources in the next few decades. Are you even aware about current situation with climate change and oil drilling? Humanoid robots is not a priority technology. AC so people not die from over-heating, for example, is. Something tells me you have little to zero experience with engineering. I think the life got better since the 80s because of positive change in cultural values, but have low hopes for the future, because our material situations gets more dire with every year. If it will turn out that people are still happier and happier in the future, I am 100% sure it won't be because of some freaking humanoid robots or weird AI, but because of there being more of what makes humans human, community, solidarity and sharing love.

@Ramanujan yes, it’s the worst choice of this type of apps. Anki is the best if you want control and longevity of your knowledge database, it’s free and open source. RemNote is best if you want an easy app to make flashcards out of your notes qucikly. It’s closed source and you can export to Anki or some other format, but the export is not perfect.

Yes I use spaced repetution a lot. I prefer the RemNote app though. And use other apps that have spaced repetition built-in like Practice Portuguese for learning you guess what.

How are you gonna charge your batteries if there is not enough energy? Also, good luck melting steel with electricity and batteries. Yes, I have tried GPT4, it can’t do most of the tasks I would give it, I can never trust its answers, and also if it can do something I want it to do, it’s very inconsistent at the way of doing it.

No machine ever has been more efficient than humans. When people plant potatoes by hand it is a return of 20 calories back for every 1 calorie invested into planting them. When using a tractor the ratio is 5 calories back to 1 calorie invested. Why are humans still using tractors? Because we have abundant extra source of energy in the form of gas and oil. But this source is running low. AI and robots are no outsiders to this principle. AI has subpar performance with 2000 times as much energy consumption as a human for the same task. NO fucking way any robots are taking jobs as cooking from people in 20 years, in the situation where our population is bigger than ever, while at the same time easily accessible energy sources get scarcer and scarcer, no sane person would invest in that technology. Not to mention climate change and additional challenges and demand for energy it will create. It's pure magical thinking and I am not willing to partake in it. What you are betting on is not only that AI and robotics will improve drastiaclly, but also at the same time we will somehow source shit-tones of rare metals, minerals, but also find new abundant energy sources, but also deal easily with the climate change. It's a delusional bet in my opinion.

To hell with AI, it’s an even bigger bullshit than crypto. Niche technology with niche applications. To add to it, a field dominated by giga corporations. AI needs a way bigger memory of what it read just a few minutes ago, and also I am not convinced that the methods used now to develop GPT for example will ever give desirable results. Midjourney is the biggest turd. Everyone is like saying how nice the pictures are, but this app cannot realize most of the creative ideas you can come up with. Stuff that you could explain to a low skilled artist in two sentences and they would do it, this app cannot do it, no matter how much of toying with commands you do, it’s worth 5% of a real artist.

This movie isn't even progressive. It is well within bounds of status quo for 20-30 years. Internet content commentators have their brains rotten.

I think these effects are a result of dosing 5-MeO very high. Will pass soon enough, probably.

For me, most lysergamides start at 100 mcg, often underwhelming, better to start at 150 mcg, and most often 200 or 250 is not too much either. Obviously it varies like between ETH-LAD (100 mcg is enough) and AL-LAD (never liked less than 225 mcg).

The conspiracy is, the government is giving you a working vaccine that protects you from dying so you stay alive and productive, bringing them profits. Wait, it's called living in a society.

They are often full of bullshit. I mean, we all are, but that group is full of bullshit in a way that might be especially aggravating for someone who studied Leo's work.

Goldman Sachs can put those calculations up their asses. 3% growth every year until 2075? What the fuck does that even mean, because the planet doesn’t have that much natural resources to sustain such rates of growth. It’s either bullshit or what they mean by strong economy is completely detached and different from what we understand as a strong economy today.

He was a fool who compared people on the basis of how much upvotes they got under their posts on these forums. Also his Spiral Dynamics stuff was unsubstantiated bullshit.

They are not bad psychedelics when consumed consciously and accurately dosed.

Big animals have big brains because muscles require some brain to operate, so they have big parts of brains that are dedicated to coordinating muscles. They have minuscule parts of brain that are responsible for intelligence in humans.

@Leo Gura bottled water in my country runs through no filters.

@manuel bon HCl is the best for snorting as it weighs the least so you will have less substance to snort. That’s the only reason I can think of, the fumarate should also be perfectly snortable. For me snorting hasn’t been too nasty. I have only ever regretted snorting 50+ mg doses of DPT HCl. 20 mg of any tryptamine is doable. But not freebase, freebase is nasty.

This is very true, and it is a long-lasting effect. So it's something one should be very aware of before embarking on a psychedelic journey.

@Leo Gura I had practiced a full routine for one hour daily twice a day for 6 months. And the few last weeks I had been able to do it. It wasn’t a full stretch, the tongue can go further, but it wasn’t snapping back, it was hurting though a little bit, but totally bearable. It noticeably changes how the air flows. Then got like neurological symptoms, I guess this kundalini phenomenon or lacks in diet, and also stomach problems from antibiotics that I had stopped for months and never had the motivation to seriously go back. I like Iyengar Yoga now, because it works but is not hardcore.

I can vouch that being able to put your tongue so far back that it stays in place HELPS REALLY BY A LOT. It’s like thrice as effective. I have lost the ability though shortly after I stopped practicing daily. It takes constant maintenance for your tongue to stay so stretched

Posting this for people who will find the thread from search. Hamilton Morris said there had been only KETAMINE in one of the samples he tested. Not even psilocybin, 0%. Source: his podcast, Episode 81: Dr. Carl Hart and Dr. Nicholas Cozzi at the MAPS conference So the different effects are probably explained by a low dose of ketamine.

@Lynx 1 post account, you can say nothing. Astroturfing. Yes it is different, Hamilton Morris has finally said lately that one of the samples he got has had no psilocybin and KETAMINE only. So it seems the experience is different because what you are consuming is ketamine, OR WHATEVER THEY DECIDE to put in a batch. Stay away, scam product, dishonest seller.

You are taking small amounts, what’s in this picture from my experience is like 15 mg tops. (Yes, I am eyeballing through the internet xd) Take one full micro scoop of what you have, then take two then take three, then take… that’s the procedure to find out the dosage.
