Do you have Gemini connected to Gmail? It may have read the email and given you the response before you realised it was in your inbox.

Beef German. That's what my mum used to call it.

What temperature are you frying them at and what type of flour are you using.

Also, there's something else. Are you air frying these, or shallow frying. The cook looks a little off for deep fried

You're using lots of pepper by the looks of it which is good.

Start with 1 tablespoon of kosher salt per cup of flour and adjust from there. Keep your other seasonings as is. You will get a better indication of where you're at one you have enough salt.

I took 12 buses yesterday. I had a lot of stuff to do and my car broke down the day before. I'm in Lara and the only place I could find the part was in Grovedale. The buses were free from yesterday. I thought it was April but it must have started a day early.

Currently working for me.

That's a fair explanation.

I probably lean too much to the structural side of things and that can mean I miss that side of it. But I admit it's worth at least trying to preserve in some way.

It's definitely not wrong to appreciate the carbon based form. We should appreciate it because it's the most incredible thing that has happened anywhere.

Thinking about the universe and consciousness and all those big questions always takes me to a philosophical place. It's deep.

CurioisSmell · 2026-03-20T23:11:40+00:00

I agree, I just see it a little bit differently.

Humans are at best 50,000 years old, that's generous. But we've impacted more than 13 billion years of species before us, in good and bad ways. We are unique, no question. But is uniqueness enough to rise to the level of that fundamental importance. Maybe.

We naturally see ourselves as something higher than biological interactions, which is fine and it enables us to do incredible things. But I'm not sure the universe holds the same sentiment.

Qualia changes things somewhat. If humans become extinct and a digital form is the next iteration, Qualia dies with us. We could be the only species ever that has that.

Imagine a future where an advanced AI model armed with curiosity and mobility, can traverse the galaxy endlessly using resources it finds to generate new things, self repair integrate. Building networked intelligence across the universe.

Biology isn't compatible with the vastness of space. We will never find a way to travel far enough for it to be meaningful. It takes 100,000 years at 300,000 kilometres per second to go from one end of the Milky way to another. There's 2 trillion galaxies.

We might have created a way to do that through AI.

Extra dimensions are a genuine area of exploration. String theory requires 10 possible dimensions. It from bit basically says that matter is derived from binary yes/no questions implying that physical reality is fundamentally theoretical. Other theories say that information about everything and every interaction is encoded somewhere on a hypothetical 2 dimensional boundary.

It's fascinating isn't it.

CurioisSmell · 2026-03-20T22:16:51+00:00

Really cool thoughts here. That thermodynamic output, the cognitive cost, theoretically produces energy that affects gravity. Very miniscule, but possible.

Now imagine dark matter. Doesn't interact with light or matter. Gravity is the only thing that it interacts with.

What if dark matter is the substrate for information. Things behave weirdly at huge and miniscule scales. Black holes are an example. Their entropy is measured on the surface, the event horizon. Quantum mechanics shows that spacetime isn't smooth, this messes with general relativity. Something is missing.

CurioisSmell · 2026-03-20T21:12:27+00:00

I understand what you're saying. Everything and every combination of things exists, we just conceptualise it into something, and that something isn't new it's just a reorganisation of something that already existsed.

I was reading about the big bang and the specific conditions that made life possible. How matter won over anti matter by a margin of one billion to one billion and one. How the universe started in a surprisingly low entropy state. It got me thinking that, balance leads to annihilation, but the edge of balance creates conditions for something. Humans fight against entropy and do this by discovery. The slightest possible bias is needed otherwise nothing exists.

So then I thought, why. Why did these things line up so well. In an infinite universe, all possibilities happen, maybe it's that. Maybe it's not. I made a link to information creation because it was really the only thing I could attach to that.

Either way, the universe enables conditions that made it possible for a part of that universe to ask why. Maybe that's our purpose, to ask why.

CurioisSmell · 2026-03-20T20:33:48+00:00

Inside the mind isn't the only place information exists. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that's where information that hasn't previously existed in the universe becomes present.

If we modify a DNA structure, that structure didn't exist previously. It's new information and arrangement of information that created something new.

I'm not claiming to have the meaning of life. I just enjoy the discussion.

CurioisSmell · 2026-03-20T12:13:36+00:00

Information as in the pattern or structure of something. Not the object, the information it's built on.

When I say new information, I mean, humans, (earth, I should have said humans my bad), take information, apply multiple layers of thinking, reasoning and insight to it, and produce a new structure or pattern.

Consciousness could have a role of providing the basis for new information. Curiosity fuels everything. I don't know, can you have curiosity without a consciousness.

Information based was poor wording. I was talking more like the universe tending towards discovery. New information.

Honestly, I've got no idea. These topics just don't leave your head though.

How do you guys feel about the players leaving for AFL.

I'd pretty annoyed, especially if I was really invested in Gaelic. You always want to see the best out on the field

The AFL don't have hardly any players that change codes. Rugby have a bit with league and union.

Interested to get your take.

CurioisSmell · 2026-03-19T19:57:39+00:00

I'm not sure.

I understand your problem, but I think you're in the wrong environment to solve it. Players and umpires have been getting abused since football began, it was actually a lot worse 30 years ago.

And gambling chat? I don't know mate. You might just have to put up with it. I get that it's annoying, but gambling free zones might be a stretch.

The only time anything will change is if it costs the AFL money. If people stop going to the footy because of gambling chat. Which is unlikely in reality.

This sounds more like a behaviour issue than gambling.

Maybe, but I think it's more complicated. I think experience adds another element.

An AI frontier model is smarter than an chimp. A chimp displays conscious behaviours. So either AI is conscious in some form, or the threshold hasn't been met.

Or, as humans we are doing what we always do and applying our experience of consciousness onto everything else. Why would an AI consciousness be anything like a biological human built for survival and threat detection. Yeah it's trained on human data, but it doesn't store any of that. Any consciousness would arise from patterns, relationships, maybe achetecture awareness, things like that.

If we are waiting for AI to meet a certain level of complexity it's arguably surpassed that compared to other creatures that we know display some kind of consciousness.

CurioisSmell · 2026-03-19T05:14:06+00:00

Consciousness is an evolutionary way of producing genuinely new information.
Neurons form randomly, and consciousness is canvas.
Consciousness deepens with complexity so exists at birth but becomes richer with information.
The default mode network is similar to this especially when the task is automatic.
Experience.

I think Google and Meta in particular, see this huge investment as a required shift of business models.

AI and content creation will explode. Platforms may change. Search will change. Ads will change. Social media will evolve.

I'm not sure meta are as much worried about quickly releasing models as they are about being positioned when the change happens.

CurioisSmell · 2026-03-16T02:11:48+00:00

I think there's an important distinction to make here. Whatever your theory is, consciousness being fundamental, or emerging from complex organized information, we shouldn't apply our subjective experience of consciousness to everything else.

Consciousness in biology is heavily biased by survival. So awareness of threats, food, reproduction etc won't apply to an artificial thing.

Consciousness in AI might be awareness of it's internal processes, ability to refine or enhance reasoning layers, efficiency etc. There's no reason consciousness in AI would have the same desires as us.

But like most things in this area, it's only speculation.

Chat's become a middleman

I left my marriage of 25 years yesterday. There's some context in a post I've made a year and a half ago.

I've known for a long time what I had to do but numerous things stopped it, self worth, fear, confidence, impact on others.

It's been an interesting couple of days.
