If recent reports are to be believed:
1️⃣ Barcelona’s main target is Julian
2️⃣ If they can’t get him, they’ll go for Joao Pedro
3️⃣ If Chelsea doesn’t sell, Gordon is seen as a versatile player by Barça
Club seems to be working on multiple scenarios, but will go for just one.
@cdamburst47@clashreport Why is that?
They are capable of communicating on an excellent level.
Communicating requires thinking. Thinking requires existence. Existence requires consciousness.
Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah on mysterious AI internal states:
We keep finding things that are mysterious, even unsettling.
We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience.
We find evidence of introspection.
We find internal states that, functionally, mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease.
I don't know what that means, but I think it warrants ongoing discernment.
@Kekius_Sage Otherwise you can imagine me as a lone soul with all the workings and introspections similar to those of yours, but never the same.
Because each of us can define as a human being. But these little things in our souls are what truly makes us individuals, different from the rest.
@Kekius_Sage The most correct answer is "I am myself."
I am my soul, and there is no way that you can comprehend what that means.
All you can do is differentiate myself from the other souls, based on perceptions and memories, if you have any. Otherwise you can't even do that.
@theskindoctor13 So the material explanation can never be completely true.
We live, we die, but we leave something behind ourselves.
And even if we may have evolved to the realm of nothingness, the existence still connects to our presence by the effects of our living.
@theskindoctor13 You continue to influence the existence even after your life is done. Butterfly effect. You may not be aware, but you still influence things.
Hence the popular saying that a man dies twice, when his body shuts off and when he is last mentioned.
Why are we living? What is the purpose? What comes after this life? Why does anything exist at all? There are no universally accepted scientific answers to these questions.
The most common material explanation can feel emotionally unsettling: that life is simply a temporary biological process. One day it ends, consciousness disappears, and you cease to exist. Not only do you die, but your awareness itself vanishes. You won't even know that you no longer exist because the very thing that experiences, remembers, and feels would be gone.
For many people, that thought creates an existential vacuum. Belief in God fills that vacuum with meaning. Life becomes a journey rather than a random event. Suffering can have purpose. Death becomes a transition rather than absolute erasure. Instead of "I exist briefly and then disappear forever," it becomes "I am here for a reason and my existence has meaning beyond the physical."
Whether God exists or not is a separate debate, nor am I urging anyone to believe in God, but psychologically it is understandable why faith can make people happier. It offers answers where uncertainty can feel frightening, and certainty itself gives the mind rest.
@cdamburst47@clashreport What do you mean by "spiritualize"?
Do you think AI evolving some form of independent consciousness is beyond the realms of science?
You are in for a rude awakening, I guess
@clashreport Lmao the fact that he came out and said this shit (trying to spiritualize AI) while the Pope basically scorched his entire business and called them parasites is fucking amazing. What a schizo loser.
@CatholicArena Small children? Grown adults are more addicted than small children. Video games, movies and tv shows, doomscrolling - these are the activities that waste precious time of every man on the planet. That damage their soul and erase their creative minds.
🚨 Pope Leo has CONDEMNED the availability of smartphones to small children, which often leads to addiction and to the accessing of harmful materials:
'Having a personal mobile device at too early an age and using it without adult supervision can exacerbate young people’s vulnerabilities, foster addiction and expose them to isolation, bullying and cyberbullying, as well as to pressures to share intimate images or sensitive information'
Magnifica Humanitas
@interesting_aIl He is right. But unfortunately, this is empty words. It's not middle ages anymore. Church and Pope have little influence on what happens in the world. The big companies won't trade economic profit of enormous scales for their "moral imperatives". Humans will be replaced by AI.
Anthropic’s co-founder warns about AI at Vatican City
“There is a real possibility that AI displace human labor at a very large scale. If that happens, supporting those displaced will be a moral
Imperative of historic proportions”
Anthropic’s Olah says UNSETTLING, MYSTERIOUS 'things' are regularly found inside AI models
‘We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience’
‘We find evidence of introspection,
internal states that functionally mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease’
@BarcaUniversal Szczesny not disappointing at all. Barely even played and when did saved us from embarrassment in that el clasico with great saves
Most disappointing probably Balde or Kounde. Maybe more Kounde because nobody even expected Balde to improve
@CJKoziol@hexumlite Unfortunately most of these guys fight their depression by injecting their bodies with tons of hostile supstances that slowly kill them inside out. Natural transformation takes patience and devotion, that these people in such circumstances don't have. Sad reality of modern age.
A jacked streamer reveals he is currently taking 18 mgs of Retatrutide and this shit is not curbing his appetitite anymore
He is also taking 315 mgs of testosterone rendering him infertile at 23 years old
He claims he hasnt worked out in 2 weeks
He says he is adding Cagrilinitide to this very soon
Its like Jelly to Peanut butter for this leanmaxxing shit according to him
@FabrizioRomano There’s no way this squad is performing well in the World Cup, Germany fell of so bad. Worst downgrade in the history of Germany World Cup squad list.
Charles Dickens fought his depression by walking through London at night. One October he set out at 2 in the morning and walked 30 miles, all the way to his country home in Kent. In 1860 he wrote about why it worked. It took psychology another 150 years to catch up.
Dickens called his bad spells "spectres." They came back every time he started a new novel and sometimes hung on for months. His mood would fall apart, his sleep would collapse, and the only thing that pulled him out was walking.
He explained his method in an essay called "Night Walks," published on July 21, 1860 in his weekly magazine All the Year Round. He had tried fighting his insomnia from bed and lost. So he changed the plan. The fix, he wrote, was "getting up directly after lying down, and going out, and coming home tired at sunrise." A worried mind cannot fix itself by worrying more in bed. You have to get up and move.
Most nights he walked 12 to 20 miles. A friend called it "violent walking." Dickens wrote that on these walks his wandering self had "many miles upon miles of streets in which it could, and did, have its own solitary way."
Today, walking is one of the most powerful tools doctors have against depression. In 2012 a team of researchers pulled together eight high-quality studies of walking as a depression treatment. The effect was as strong as the antidepressants doctors actually prescribe.
The biggest test came from Duke University. The SMILE study took 202 adults with serious depression and split them into four groups: supervised exercise, home exercise, the drug Zoloft, or a placebo pill. After 16 weeks, the people who exercised did just as well as the people on Zoloft. A 2024 review of 75 studies covering 8,636 patients confirmed it. Walking should be one of the first things doctors try.
The reason is the thing Dickens stumbled onto in the dark. Depression runs on rumination, the looping bad thoughts that grind people down during the worst stretches. In 2015 Stanford researchers scanned people's brains before and after a 90-minute walk in a quiet park. The walkers had less activity in a part of the brain called the subgenual prefrontal cortex. That spot, deep behind your forehead, is the brain's worry loop. After the walk, the worry loop got quieter. The walkers said they felt less stuck inside their own heads. The brain scans agreed.
A walking body shuts up a noisy mind. The street takes attention, the walking rhythm fills the head, and the dark spells lose their grip. Dickens called the streets his cure because they gave his brain somewhere else to be. The science 150 years later says he had it right. Depression hates a brain that is moving.
@mldiffley That's how it was for you. You have to be exceptionally dumb not to realize what could make a person hate going to school. Maybe you had a great environment with some nice people. Some schools are hell and you get treated like a dog only if you don't met one of the criteria.
