@The_AlexFreeman @QiaochuYuan Honestly doubt that's possible without having a brain interface anyway. Recognizable forms are what alters beliefs in brains. Familiar alphabets and UI conventions are necessary to deliver the meaning.

@QiaochuYuan Eventually they won't even render recognizable forms, just hyper-compressed Langford-Basilisk-type images that reconfigure our neural state directly to ensure high-fidelity transmission of beliefs.

weird to think about html and css and everything else that traditionally goes into rendering a computer screen ending up being a transitional stage that merely provides the training data for rendering the entire screen as an image based on a prompt to gpt-image-3

@2oovy "x% of y = y% of x" somehow feels more profound than it has any right to. xy/100 = yx/100, no shit.

This probably goes hard if your parents are siblings

@thejoephase @DigitaDemonGirl This. How can you be sure they actually emulate you instead of a close-enough model that fools your relatives?

@DigitaDemonGirl “digitized” and it’s just euthanized with a chatgpt LORA running his insta

2025: parent losing his shit upon hearing that his child has been transitioning without his knowledge (he thinks gender transition is demonic) 2045: parent losing his shit upon hearing that his child has digitized without his knowledge (he's a continuitist instead of a patternist

@axiochrono @Bertmussen @RespectfulMemes Discovered? I thought it was just that nobody bothered correcting the popular images

@nickcammarata Independent of any state, how about the coffee? Doesn't it just mean "not associated to specific semantic content in the mind"? Could you induce unconditioned joy while sick and in a harsh environment?

every day i touch into the unconditioned joy of pure awareness itself, independent of any state, just happens to be 15-90 minutes after coffee every time

@futurenomics Interesting how having a built-in button made the difference. Machine translation has been around for ages.

As much as I’m loving Japanese twitter, we’re likely experiencing its death. Auto translation is the eternal September for regional networks.

@Rocket_PChain @Piqueiras_ @number_pizza111 @MinecraftMeme16 Maybe this rushing tendency is why I like modded

@Piqueiras_ @number_pizza111 @MinecraftMeme16 that's only true if you rush the game like a maniac, every time i play with my friends we spend days before even touching the nether, and getting to the end is not even guaranteed

Peak game design

@spacepunk @ZeroOne33408052 @dthorson You can do that? I thought it took advanced meditation.

@_3sphere @ZeroOne33408052 @dthorson Its all just the study of the mind, thats it. Its all the same thing. You look at past lives the same way you look at what you had for breakfast yesterday- you just remember it

There is a loving intelligence that moves all things and it is not what you think.

@spacepunk @ZeroOne33408052 @dthorson Well tbf I'm not even sure where exactly "psy..ogy" and "spirituality", other than a vague vibe that psychology is more cognitive science while spirituality is more existential and philoso..al. Wish there was an easier way to look at previous lives(if they're real). Curiosity.

Its probably important to make sure we're on the same page with the word spirituality so we understand we're just talking about psychology Psychology working is invariant across cosmologies, but *what* psychology is variant because different karmas is what causes the differing cosmologies in the first place

@spacepunk @ZeroOne33408052 @dthorson Sorry, I'm skipping around erratically. Hate the 140 limit. I meant the practical effects/benefits of spirituality.

@_3sphere @ZeroOne33408052 @dthorson Maybe its still too early in the morning but I cant find where I mentioned practicality so Im having a hard time figuring out which part youre referring to

@spacepunk @ZeroOne33408052 @dthorson The "practical" part is invariant with cosmology, right? You do have a point that we have *more* direct evidence of mental phenomena than physical because we're minds. That's my main physicalism doubt. But otherwise, everything seems so unwaveringly "mind as meat software"...

Ah, given our vastly different religious and cosmological, I doubt we are going to come to an agreement considering you think psi phenomena have never been proven and I think material phenomena havent been proven (and in fact have only ever been repteadly disproven again and again) Psi phenomena have been proven over and over, all language is metaphorical because that'd how language works, and nothing is supernatural- only phenomena the person using that word does not yet understand

@spacepunk @ZeroOne33408052 @dthorson Powered on again with the same, undamaged HDD inside. What copies stuff out of the brain when you die? (sorry if I sound combative, may have some remanent raytheism in me)

@_3sphere @ZeroOne33408052 @dthorson When you wake up in the morning, everything is different each time? Different body, different name, different planet? Or do some things remain constant despite the lose of consciousness?

@spacepunk @ZeroOne33408052 @dthorson I find spirituality very interesting and could probably suspend psi disbelief if I really wanted but like, if it's about *truth*, it shouldn't contradict it with unlabeled metaphors. Greeks split "love" into many terms but their meanings got mangled. Maybe we could do it again.

@spacepunk @ZeroOne33408052 @dthorson Sankharas can supposedly survive rebirth, but how? I don't see how they can survive any more than the data on a hard drive thrown into lava. My best guess would be acausal-style reasoning that similar minds appear elsewhere and "your" decision "affects" them all via correlation.

@spacepunk @ZeroOne33408052 @dthorson Interesting. I'm too physicalist to actually believe I spawned in here as some kind of choice, but I sure do wonder what I was thinking in that case 🙃 Still, this is arguably a different meaning of "love". In most uses, it is indeed liking and wishing and even attachment.

@_3sphere @ZeroOne33408052 @dthorson So do I love everyone? Fuck yes. And so does everyone else. But do I LIKE them all? Lmao fuck no, and thats okay. Love *includes* people who dont like each other staying away from each other, because thats the most loving thing todo when you dont enjoy each other

@spacepunk @ZeroOne33408052 @dthorson A better objection would probably be that if those are also love, "love" becomes a pretty meaningless term. Like a person coming down from an acid trip saying it's all love.

@ZeroOne33408052 @dthorson Oh my apologies. You had asked a question and I made the mistake of presuming you were attempting to engage in good faith

@henry5839201746 Main issue is the random placement of the blocks, like it got blended up
