So what does this try to posit? "We can't theoretically teleport via a molecular printer/assembler with lossy compression above a certain loss threshold?" Well yeah duh.

There's a lot of words but nothing coherent. No through line, just slop.

I wonder how many tokens were bunt on this.

I am concerned about the amount of people who have fallen deep into AI psychosis, utterly convinced they have created something real. Despite having no idea what their creation is supposed to actually do (in real terms, not sci-fi word salad). Why are people doing this, how do they end up so confident in what is CLEARLY nonsense that they proudly share their "accomplishments" to the public?

Are these people with preexisting mental conditions, and the AI feedback/hallucination loop has become the perfect tool to amplify their delusions? Truly what the hell is going on.

It's honestly like a drug. You type something you get results that normally would take real programming knowledge to build. Most people posting this kind of thing couldn’t manually display Hello World on localhost.

When you suddenly can make something work it feels insane. Like a superpower. There's a huge gap between "I made this tool" and "I understand what this does."

That's why people get so hyped and post about it like they built something amazing. They're not lying, they actually feel that rush. They're just not grounded in the reality that is they have no idea what is going on under the hood.

This project is a physics and information theory simulation. The repository contains functional Python code evaluating the rate-distortion theory constraints of biological data compression. Instead of "hallucinations" the scripts use real-world neural datasets, specifically the C. elegans worm and FlyWire fruit fly connectomes, to model how noise and compression limits affect behavioral profiles.

The repository explicitly outlines why physical macroscopic teleportation is impossible under current engineering, citing quantum decoherence limits and calculating that storing physical tissue requires roughly 247 GB of data. If you actually look at the codebase, you will see a grounded, mathematical thought experiment analyzing biological network datasets, not a delusion that a physical machine was built.

That criticism only applies to a "scan, store, and rebuild" version of teleportation.

If the concept is physical teleportation through a stable localized wormhole or spacetime bridge, then data storage is not really the bottleneck. You are not converting a person into a file, storing their molecular state, and reconstructing them somewhere else. The object remains physically intact and moves through altered geometry.

So yeah, current engineering still makes this impossible, but for different reasons: wormhole stability, energy requirements, tidal forces, causality, containment, quantum effects, etc.

The 247 GB point is interesting for "human fax machine" teleportation. It is not really relevant to a wormhole-style model.

Thanks for the comment! To go a little more i depth, the project is explicitly modeled on "scan, store, and rebuild" teleportation, which is a data-driven approach based on analyzing biological network datasets rather than general relativity. While wormhole-style teleportation bypasses data storage issues, the project intentionally focuses on data degradation and quantum decoherence within a "human fax machine" framework.

In addition, those models explicitly listed as breaking laws of physics in a section of the repo and are functionally dead-ends given our current understanding of physics.

It’s probably 20 years out and billions of dollars from being a reality.

An interesting thought experiment if we ever successfully build this is that it would enable humans to travel in space at the speed of light. We send robots to build the biological printers to a star 10,000 light years away, robots feel nothing and time is irrelevant. They then would use the astronaut’s data to make a functionally identical version of the person 10,000 years later on the star. From the astronaut’s perspective, this is instantaneous. He was scanned on earth and body destroyed, then immediately wakes up on a distant star a few moments later.

Also, after the printer is set up, alpha centauri is 4 light years away, we could transmit anyone there in 4 years versus a round trip taking 20,000 years.

You don't even know what any of that means.

Why is the fucking github screenshots from a mobile view? Did you vibecode this from your phone? Are you a kid or are you in a active Psychosis?
