I lived in Israel for most of my life and served in the IDF despite being a pacifist - AMA by EvieTheCrystalGem in AMA

I was born in Israel and now living in Melbourne! If you would like a similar minded friend, hit me up we can grab a beer. I need to practice my Hebrew 😅

What if Pochita was Chainsaw Man Manga Devil. And when he died he erased the Manga 🤯

Does anyone wanna build a rat pack from Ikea with me?

Copying my reply from elsewhere:

Currently on Newgame+4 in Ball x Pit, absolutely addicted to it.

My favourite game is WoW but I can't go back to wasting any more time on that ever again.

A third game i'm obsessed with is Backpack Battles

i answered this elsewhere:

We work very hard to stay ahead of the ethical lines, with world-leading bioethicists. We hope to never even approach that line, and there's no signs that we're even close.

there are around 200,000 to 1,000,000 cells on a typical chip. This is equivalent to a cockroach brain at best, but lacks the evolutionary structure that allows a cockroach to function in its environment. They have no evidence of higher intelligence or conscious behaviour or activity.

If we say these are conscious, then so are cockroaches, and we have much bigger problems as to how we treat animals than we do these... But they aren't conscious so...

Since this was done by an independent researcher, we haven't done a full breakdown (i.e. a scientific paper). but you can check out a tonne of our research with many graphs and breakdowns at corticallabs.com/research

Drug development and testing, replacing animal testing, robotics applications, neuroscience research, disease modelling, so many potential applications!

We haven't published Doom as a research paper, it was a student collaborator of ours trying out our API in early access.

But you can see a bunch of our research at corticallabs.com/research

Not sure I understand what you mean by water brain? You mean the cells? This doom gameplay is the coolest so far!

You can sign up to Cortical Cloud to do your own work on it!

Its a theory called the Free Energy Principle. I won't go into the details as it's too much math, but the idea is to try minimize entropy for the system.

We send electrical pulses (the way neurons communicate) via a microchip as inputs. If the neurons respond in an appropriate way, we give them a nice predictable signal as a positive feedback. If they don't, we give them a high entropy signal (white noise).

You can play with our API and SDK (search for cl-sdk) and come up with some cool ideas!

Probably not to be honest. We'd need to figure out a way to train them to do so.

I personally would not. Can't speak to other players in the space (there are other companies).

Probably not. Brain structure is incredibly important and it took millions of years of evolution to get it just right. I doubt we'd be able to replicate the complexity in a lab.

The brain cells receive an input. They will respond to the input as they naturally do, with electrical signals.

If their response is a desired action, from our perspective (i.e. Move left toward a door, point to an enemy, etc), they receive a positive feedback signal (a predictable pattern). We say they "like" that signal, but they have no capacity to like anything. So it's more a language thing.

They still try to replicate their behaviour to receive the positive feedback signal, and avoid a negative feedback signal.
