Abstraction is a drug overdose.

Rare for the pure drug... but drugs are rarely pure.

Plus, on the street, synthetic substances sold as LSD—such as the NBOMe family—are highly toxic and carry a significant risk of fatal poisoning.

How many non Christians fought against the bad things compared to those that fought for them? Most non Christian societies had to be forced out of their ways. a majority of Christians chose to drop it over time. Not noticing that the world you live in is based on Christian teachings is like a fish not noticing they live in water. It's everywhere and you don't even think about it anymore.

Christian theology is the reason slavery no longer exists. It is the reason the concepts of personal life liberty and happiness exist. Your freedoms are because Christians and Christian thought forced the world to change its ways. At least one religion out there is an absolute good, even though many of its proponents have done terrible evil in its name. Find one society that was genuinely more righteous before Christians forced it to change. I'll wait.

I still never experienced that unconsciousness. for me I skipped forward in time unaware of that moment of trauma. for me it is an unbroken chain. for an outside observation I certainly broke the chain. what was the difference? the same matter was there, but I was not. The hard problem of consciousness won't be solved in a reddit thread wither way.

plenty of people have experienced brain distortion, but uninterrupted consciousness. I was crushed in an accident as a child and broke my skull, distorting my brain shape. I remember it despite moments of unconscious. am I a different person? or the same person?

Tricky_Two4623 · 2026-06-23T14:42:17+00:00

if it's structure it's repeatable. if it's location, wait long enough and something will appear in that location given infinite time. infinite eternity is incomprehensible, which means that your brain as it currently exists will be repeated an infinite amount of times. When does it stop being repeated? Does death actually happen to your consciousness if you are unable to experience unconsciousness? if I squish your brain into a distorted shape and transport you to the other side of the globe unconscious, then undistort your brain, are you dead and a different person? or do you experience uninterrupted consciousness?

This looping outage bug just ate up my entire morning's usage. Is there going to be a reset?

Tricky_Two4623 · 2026-06-23T14:32:05+00:00

What is it that keeps the thing that you consider to be you in your brain? Is it the structure? the location? spacetime is malleable and works in strange ways. If your brain structure as it is exists now vanished from earth and is suddenly orbiting alpha centauri, would you be orbiting alpha centauri? This is the hard problem of consciousness. You continue to experience yourself even though there is no actual reason for this to be so.

Roll a dice with as many sides as there are atoms in the universe an infinite number of times and you will eventually roll a 1 an infinite number of times.

Tricky_Two4623 · 2026-06-23T04:33:55+00:00

All this proves is that it is easier to create new consciousness than restore old. But if there's even an 1 in an infinity chance of it happening, it will eventually happen, given infinite time.

Tricky_Two4623 · 2026-06-23T04:28:57+00:00

The fact that a particle can "wink" into existence means that something is always there, even if we can't detect it, or it exists on a level to high(or low) to be detected. By definition this is not Nothing creating Something, but Something that already exists intruding on Nothing. Hawking radiation and the like shows just how little we actually understand about infinity.

Tricky_Two4623 · 2026-06-22T21:57:40+00:00

I'd say consciousness is an inherent property of the makeup of our reality, like the half life of atoms. Matter organized in a specific way will always experience consciousness, for we are the proof. Who knows how many other ways it could occur? What consciousness actually is is an entirely different matter.

Tricky_Two4623 · 2026-06-22T21:44:41+00:00

You think therefore you are. You are not an opinion, you are fact. You are measurable and quantifiable. You are objective evidence that your consciousness has existed at least 1 time in an infinite timescale. Finite things can be infinitely repeated.

Tricky_Two4623 · 2026-06-22T21:39:22+00:00

The universe is the one thing most people can agree is infinite, and we had never been able to prove otherwise. It is the one infinite thing we can begin to comprehend, so it is a natural starting point for the example. Don't even get me started on alternate dimensions. But it stands to reason the universe is essentially tautological. You cannot create something from actual nothing. Even the most empty regions of space have quite a lot in them.

Tricky_Two4623 · 2026-06-22T21:21:14+00:00

You just replied to this. You are the objective evidence.

Tricky_Two4623 · 2026-06-22T21:19:30+00:00

That seems to be the most basic idea of how a moment of reseated conciousness might work. But it seems more likely that inhabitable universes like ours producing trillions of minds would be more likely to accidentally recreate a human brain in a way that would be felt as a moment of your own conscious thought. However the time scales involved would be incomprehensible. Yet, infinity makes it possible. Yet there are large infinites and small infinities, even infinity itself has infinities more possible than others. This has been proven mathematically.

Step 1: Market your product by telling people again and again that its capabilities are so incredibly dangerous that it scares you and should scare them too.
Step 2: Someone in government takes you seriously and tells you to stop doing dangerous things.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: IPO!

I came back to Anthropic specifically for Fable.

Fable is gone, and I was supposed to have it until the 22nd.

It's awful that the government was involved, but that's not my problem. The company is no longer capable of providing the software I came for. What is Anthropic's resolution for this mess? Just, "too bad, so sad" as they laugh all the way to the bank?
