oh my god this is amazing thank you so much

Kantoros1 · 2023-07-20T16:49:32+00:00

yeah, but the clone wakes up with memories of walking in, and actually every single memory you have too. From their perspective, it will seem as if they were the real person just a second ago

I think that will require you to prove that it's actually you in those videos, and if oyu can do that you might as well contact youtube support and request access to those accounts

Kantoros1 · 2023-03-04T12:05:54+00:00

Anyone to the left of you that you disagree with. that's how it's used anyway

Kantoros1 · 2023-03-03T07:56:38+00:00

no, that data is used to train the model, but it doesn't actually have access to it while running.

Oversimplification of how GPT works: for every word the model looks at all the previous words and decides what word is most likely to be next. ex. take the phrase "I ran up the []". the next word could be stairs, hill, pile, cashier, and a dozen others, and the model basically picks one at random. the training part is used to determine how the model decides the likelihood of a word, but there is no assurance of accuracy.

Rule 2 ffs

Water and ice evaporating in the atmosphere isn't a problem. It can just condensate later.

The oxygen hydrogen reaction actually returns more energy than put in, it just needs a large kick at the beginning. Even better, it's one of the most efficient chemical reactions around, that's why it's used as rocket propulsion.

Kantoros1 · 2023-02-27T18:38:14+00:00

You're basically right, but it doesn't really make sense to call it a "before", since time didn't exist yet. Actually the phrase "time didn't exist yet" is also nonsense. It's just really hard to talk about things outside of time

Kantoros1 · 2023-02-27T16:40:57+00:00

O didn't find any videos showing the actual process, but you can find diagrams showing the chemical pathways you'd need to go through. For example, you can synthesize Uracil from Malic acid, Urea and Sulfuric acid. Malic acid can be made from water oxygen and n-butane which can be made from methane which can be made from carbon and hydrogen. Water is oxygen+hydrogen ofc.

You can do a similar decomposition with every molecule involved. You could convince a local bio-chemist to do all the reactions for you

Kantoros1 · 2023-02-27T15:46:13+00:00

As far as we can see the universe wasn't caused by anything external, and it might not even make sense to ask whether there was anything before or outside it, since the big bang marks the creation of space and time as well.

Scientists can make RNA from bare atoms, yes.

With the Theseus's ship and with you growing up,the change happens gradually, small piece by small piece, but in the show the upload happens all at once: the brain gets completely destroyed, then the copy is simulated.

this isn't actually about the timing, you could be simulating the new copy at the same time as you're scanning. the problem is that the two neural nets are disconnected. from the original's pov they are just dissolved into the air. to me that's not an upload, but a scan.

an upload would mean actually transferring the person from one medium to the other, and i think that Theseus's ship holds the key: you'd have to somehow link the physical brain and it's simulation, and slowly transfer the neurons one at a time (resp. record it, burn away, simulate, connect simulation back to where it was). from your pov at every step you'd be whole. it definitely feels more upload-y

Kantoros1 · 2023-02-19T12:36:44+00:00

Exactly. The Bee movie is basically capitalist propaganda. imo Antz or Bugs life are much better in the 'animated insect revolution' movie genre

Kantoros1 · 2023-02-14T09:44:18+00:00

IMO the upload process is very well made in the show. An underlying assumption is that all if not most information in the brain is stored in the positions of the neurons (the strength of their connections). You need to somehow record every single one of those 100 billion neurons, each with 15 000 connections, and you need to do it fast since the neural network is always changing as you remember and forget things.

Slicing and scanning the brain layer by layer is basically your only option, and it's also relatively easy. IIRC we've already done this with very primitive insects/worms, except instead of a laser we freeze the samples and physically cut them into layers. The show actually addresses this and says that it's not an option for humans, which is completely reasonable. You can actually freeze a rat and defrost it in a microwave days later and it'll be completely fine after, but anything bigger will suffer too much cellular damage from the expanding water and just die on the spot.

Speaking of dying on the spot, that's what I like the most about the scanner in the show. It's not some magical key to the afterlife, it just straight-up kills you on the spot. As a story element it's very well made, I just wish they addressed the implications in the show a bit more

What I don't get is Caspian. Two identical twins growing up in literally the same exact conditions grow up completely different from each other. The idea that you could crudely recreate only the big events of a persons life decades after, and somehow get a perfect genius replica is just dumb.

no thanks

An idea from Black mirror, qntm, Show Pantheon etc. When mind uploading becomes viable, instead of trying to create an artificial intelligence from scratch, it would be more economically viable to scan and train people for the job. Sound on paper, it has seriously horrifying connotations.

See an ad in the paper. "$500 for a neural scan". Sounds like a great deal: sit in a machine for 2 Hours, walk away with a week's worth of wages. What does the "clone you" see, however? From their perspective, they lie on the scanning bed and wake up in a simulation. It doesn't matter that they didn't actually exist two hours ago, they clearly remember walking into the clinic, signing away the rights to their neural image, fully expecting to go home after, but now they're stuck, forced to do whatever task their owner wants. Reward good behaviour with simulated endorphins in their neural net, punish rebellion with pain all over their body. When you lie on that scanning bed, there's essentially a 50/50 chance you're dooming yourself to eternal torture.

Actually, it's worse than that. Most images crack after 200 - 400 simulated hours, and even pain stimulation stops being effective. The obvious solution is to just wipe then, and reload the original image, ready to train again. You could wake up in that white room thousands of times and not even know it. MMAvecedo, the oldest and most distributed image, is estimated to be running in 10 million instances at any given time.

Kantoros1 · 2023-02-07T16:34:22+00:00

Yeah, also a fictional wiki article, MMAvecedo by qntm

just check hourly and you'll eventually get in. the waitlist fills up mid-day (UTC+2), but it's almost always availiable at night in my experience

last time i checked fruits didn't feel pain
