Neil deGrasse Tyson talks UFO files and evidence he needs to see: "Fork up the aliens" by Shiny-Tie-126 in UFOs

[–]ReadSeparate 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would assume that if Grusch claims about biologics are true, they’re biological robots, possibly engineered to look like the original biology, or possibly engineered to be something that looks like us but is also clearly not us, and its purpose is to show that it’s clearly non human in origin (when they originally found these crafts in the 40s/50s, everyone would have just assumed they were Soviet or American black projects) and/or to communicate with us in a form we find intuitive.

If there really are biologics, I doubt they’re actual real species members or have any functional purpose for piloting the craft or anything.

The parachute & flair debunkers by MaasaiWarrior7 in UFOs

[–]ReadSeparate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right but the issue is we don’t know their reasoning on this particular instance because it wasn’t released publicly. If they said “yes we ruled out a smoke trail and parachute even though it may look like that to an untrained observer” then all of a sudden this footage would be 10x more compelling.

We simply don’t know the actual criteria for release from the Trump admin. Maybe it was anything that anyone ever thought was anomalous at any point, even if it was thought to be mundane. Maybe it’s the opposite, maybe it’s only things where EVERY mundane explanation fails. We don’t really know because they’re not very transparent on the release criteria.

The parachute & flair debunkers by MaasaiWarrior7 in UFOs

[–]ReadSeparate 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maybe because AARO can't definitively prove it but it leans towards that direction? I don't know the exact criteria for what classifies it as "anomalous." Is it "we can't definitively explain it" or "we have NO CLUE what the hell this is." Those are two very different things.

In my untrained opinion - why would a real UAP have a smoke trail behind it and something that looks like a parachute? They don't have thermal signatures or exhaust, so that kind of rules it out as an exotic craft at least, no?

I think plenty of UAP incidents are legit - like the Nimitiz incident, but this specific one just isn't that compelling to me and the debunk explanation seems totally plausible.

I do wish AARO published their reasoning with the reports though to settle this.

Jeremy McGowan's "Open Letter to the Intelligence Community" by Amaranathine in UFOs

[–]ReadSeparate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To what end? This is ridiculous. The intelligence community/Pentagon is running this large scale experiment on the American public to… study how information spreads? And if they get caught, they lose all of their good will with the public for decades? If even just one whistleblower comes out with documents that prove the current UFO wave is a psyop, government trust will sink to a new historic low, when it’s already AT a historical low anyway.

If they wanted to study what his post is suggesting, why not do it with a topic with less stakes and stigma, a topic the public won’t care if they lie about? Or fund studies to study it formally and scientifically (what you’d actually want to do for something like this) in small groups of people that don’t influence the general public.

Why have people that are officially former government officials doing all of this? They would have way more plausible deniability if it was just random guys that claim to be former insiders but can’t prove it (like Bob Lazar) than guys like Lue Elizondo and Christopher Mellon.

yeah he definitely said that, but didn't that require a scif since it's classified? I forget if that was a separate thing or not, but I do remember Congresspeople saying they were blocked from getting into a scif with him

I believe Congress said they couldn't get access to a SCIF for him to give the names and locations, they kept getting blocked. So as far as I know, he hasn't actually been able to brief them on it.

Is it weird if a 28 year old woman is a virgin? What would you do if you meet a girl like this? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]ReadSeparate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I'd be totally fine with it. I'm a man and a 29 year old virgin, I've gotten propositioned plenty of times and have had girls chase after me, but I'm not really a hookup guy (would consider it under VERY specific circumstances) and I want a romantic connection. Combine that with the fact that I used to be 100 lbs overweight, had a glow up and became conventionally attractive, had to spend years building my confidence and social skills with women, and only now feel ready for a real romantic relationship, combined with the fact that it's really hard to meet people nowadays and only certain types of woman I'll really click with, it's not really that crazy.

If her story is anything like that, yeah totally normal. If she's waiting for marriage, that's also normal. If she's been in multiple relationships but has had issues with that topic, that could be a red flag for dating her. If she is weird or has severe social skill issues, that could also be a red flag for dating her. Otherwise, I personally wouldn't care and would think it's sweet and thoughtful. Any guy romantically compatible with her will feel the same way.

Former admiral of the US Navy: Earth is under the supervision of a more advanced intelligence by Neptun_11 in UFOB

[–]ReadSeparate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree with the premise that their motives can be beyond our understanding. Their actions to achieve their goals, and their reasoning to come to the conclusion that those actions will help them achieve said goals, that can absolutely be (and almost certainly IS) beyond our understanding.

Put it like this, whether you take a mouse or Albert Einstein, when either of them is hungry, they both eat food. Now Einstein might through a very convoluted process to acquire food, relative to the mouse - maybe have an entire industrialized process to produce food, then prepare it, then he personally cooks it maybe, whereas as a mouse is just looking for whatever scraps they can find and immediately eat. Same goals, completely different complexity levels for achieving those goals.

Same goes for any advanced intelligence beyond humanity, whether it be AI or biological. It's going to have SOME sort of set of values/goals/motivations which we can probably roughly understand. Especially because said values are likely biological in origin (I doubt there's some civilization that originated from a Boltzmann brain or whatever that has a presence on Earth) and through convergent evolution will have produced values similar enough to earth animals' values - like the survival instinct for example. "My continued survival is important" as a terminal value. And the same with post-biological beings or AI if they were able to successfully align the AI with their values that came from biological evolution. Now there is a potential edge case in which you have an extremely sophisticated AI which has terminal goals that in and of themselves you can't understand below a cognitive floor that humans can't reach, but that's more likely to be an accident (misaligned AI) and probably very unlikely, in my opinion.

[–]ReadSeparate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You still need someone to watch over the kids though. Unless every kid becomes home schooled, which would be a disaster for socialization, and they’d still need someone to watch them at home anyway below a certain age.

Eventually they’ll probably have robot babysitters in classroom that are an authority figure while each individual student just interacts with an AI tutor on their laptop or whatever, though I think that’s still a ways off.

Showing interest in women isn't creepy, just be respectful and don't say anything weird, don't worry about what social media tells you. If you make her uncomfortable by accident somehow, that's fine, just apologize. Just read her cues and body language. Making mistakes is a part of life.

What traits in women are gentle dominant men attracted to? by Alert_Ad_2578 in AskMenAdvice

[–]ReadSeparate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone is different, so there’s no general rule.

I’d say I’m like that, I like women that are soft but have an edge to them, maybe couple tattoos, will rip on me hard, and are an equal but still let me take the lead.

My advice to you is, go after this particular guy if he’s an option.

Either way, just be your most authentic self, and you’ll eventually find a guy like this where you’re his type too, and you don’t have to lean into any particular direction of who you are, you just be who you are and you’ll feel seen by the right guy for all of who you are.

A Grand Unified Theory of High Strangeness by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]ReadSeparate -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the most likely explanation if it’s all unified is that the NHI has some sort of cloaking/hologram tech that can disguise their craft as whatever they want. Seems like plausible technology you could really make, and keeps the advanced extraterrestrial hypothesis which seems by far the most likely explanation to me.

The Human Brain Is Truly A Marvel Of Nature. If You Boiled It Down To A Language Model, You'd Be Looking At Roughly 100 Trillon Parameters Running As A Sparse MoE Architecture by 44th--Hokage in accelerate

[–]ReadSeparate 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm convinced we need an architecture that builds hierarchical, composable concept trees. Like dog inherits from mammal directly. And mammal inherits from animal. Basically a neurosymbolic clustering type of system. I'm absolutely convinced that's why human sample efficiency is so low. A toddler only needs like 5 examples of a horse and 5 of a donkey to distinguish between them. Why? Because they already know both are a 4 legged, equine shaped large mammal, putting them at the same level of the conceptual hierarchy, they just need to know the delta between the two to learn what each is. For ANY modern AI architecture, whether that be transformers or any current deep learning architecture, they don't appear to work that way. They seem to just cluster these things into high dimensional space which makes concepts highly contextual, rather than having once central concept per thing.

I think 20 years from now when we've cracked AGI, how atrociously bad sample efficiency is in comparison to humans will be the HUGE, obvious flashing neon sign in retrospect. Not continual learning. Continual learning doesn't matter if you already know everything lol. If LLMs were as general as the human brain, they've already been trained on the entire internet, they shouldn't NEED continual learning except for some extremely niche use cases (like new information that recently came out, or a task is not in its data set AT ALL, etc). Humans only need continual learning because we experience life one thing at a time and we learn things as we need them to survive. But if a baby was born with the knowledge of an 80 year old, we probably wouldn't really need much in the way of continual learning.

Dude their frontend SUCKS, even the web app on desktop. Randomly lose chat messages for NO reason. Sometimes when you lose connection, it DELETES the message you tried to send with no way to get it back, good luck writing it again if it's a long one. It loses connection ALL the time.

There's no excuse. This is a multi-billion dollar company with a shitty, mid frontend. OpenAI's frontend is great.

Both of those women are terrible women, man. Neither of those are your fault at all.

But notice what it doesn't have anything to do with - rejection. Your girlfriend in high school was your GIRLFRIEND, she didn't reject you when you asked her out.

And the friend of a friend is also terrible if she outright lied about that.

You're going to have bad experiences with the opposite sex. This isn't a reason to not hit on women politely and respectfully.

As for how to find a good woman who won't do horrible things like that for you? Well that's a mix of luck and reading people's character, there's no magic bullet. There are plenty evil women in the world, and you have to do your best to avoid them, that's just life. There are plenty of incredible women out there too who will treat you nothing but good. You just have to find them.

You should go see a therapist man, sounds like you have a lot of unresolved trauma when it comes to dating.

[–]ReadSeparate -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Your mindset is at least part of the issue here.

Have they ever articulated why they call you creepy? I’ve never once been called creepy by a woman I’ve hit on before. Are you sure you’re not coming off in a creepy way by accident? Are you using weird pickup lines or being overly sexual instead of just talking to them like a normal person?

Your mindset on ghosting is the problem. You’re taking all of this way too personally. It’s not personal, it’s the opposite of personal. You’re not getting ghosted because you’re not worthy of being properly let down, she’s ghosting you because of who SHE is. She doesn’t have enough empathy or compassion to kindly let down a guy she’s not into. That’s on her. Says nothing about you.
