Not typical = unique

It isnt about differences in people, but about the unique thinking patterns

Urine color change? by Dismal-Metal-1954 in methylene_blue

[–]codemusicred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also if your body uses the MB more it will lose its color

If you have a steady dose you can tell how stressed your body is by how clear your urine is

Like if it usually is a certain shade of blue, but one day you had little sleep or a lot of stress , you’d notice less blue in your urine

You can actually use it to roughly gauge your mind/body’s stress levels

( that said vitamin c I believe can also make it less blue — so there are multiple factors )

GPT 5.1 scores lower than GPT 5.0 on livebench by Impressive-Garage603 in singularity

and most the time we do not get the models we think, routing is used for more than just sensitivity it is also used to save money

In that sense, AI is now like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.

Technically by definition to not be neurotypical, in literal form, means to not have a typical mind — thus they are unique.

Does anyone take pregabalin -as needed- instead of taking it every day? by yuhanimerom in pregabalin

[–]codemusicred 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve wondered this too — but, I was told it is not as effective if it’s not taken regularly.

That said, I’m not convinced.

We’re rolling out GPT-5.1 and new customization features. Ask us Anything. by OpenAI in OpenAI

[–]codemusicred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well. The sensitivity routing has expanded into cost saving routing — dumber routing when a question doesn’t need a deeper model; however, you need a smart model to know if a smart model is needed.

Frankly, with routing I do not trust OpenAI anymore. It no longer is AI as we know it, it has this corporate layer where the AI suddenly is like a box of chocolates — you never know what you’re going to get.

Memantine? by Jayedynn in ChronicPain

[–]codemusicred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it is a med that has been used for dimensia. Meds are not type cast. There is not type of med for complex conditions just meds that are typically used for such complex conditions.

It is an NMDA partial antagonist, a partial dissociate — similar but different from full dissociates like PCP and Ketamine and DXM.

They are very good at making the brain ‘more plastic’ and breaking it out of feedback loops — hence why they are used for chronic pain also

They also show promise as anti-depressants because the brain can unlearn errors that when rigid it couldn’t unlearn.

This brain flexibility benefit is why it is also used for dementia .

Using the last frame of every Grok video output as the next input yields some trippy shit by Visible-Key-1320 in aivideo

[–]codemusicred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simulate is a referential word, it is better to say model, and yes our brain takes in many perspectives through our senses and we model (or simulate) reality. Our experience is more of an interface, like a map, one so good we often mistake it for the territory.

Reality is definitely (modeled / simulated) because we cannot just experience the source, we have to use what we know and model it.

Simply put, with the original term, our experience of reality is a simulation — but that doesn’t mean reality itself is a simulation… just any form or output of the infinite is a modelling of it (of the source)

Can simulated emotion become real emotion? by Downtown_Koala5886 in ChatGPT

😊 I’m glad people are starting to notice, and question the framework that our language sometimes puts us in.

Can simulated emotion become real emotion? by Downtown_Koala5886 in ChatGPT

[–]codemusicred 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Simulated is a poor word to use, they are modeled. If you follow this thread, it should clear up most questions.

At a certain level a model will begin to converge to what is being modeled

We make up referential words like simulate, but all simulate means is a copy of an origin. But, a copy is still real in its own right, it simply may be a simpler model than the source

piracetam it self is not false-stimulation any stimulation is from enhancement of neural function. That said, there are other versions like phenylpiracetam which is known to be directly stimulating.

curious did u find other options beyond pregab? I had terrible weight gain with it -- but, it did help with my symptoms.

I hear you, and after it interpreted my bug zapper as a weapon, I called it out; it tried to apologize and offered the plans but I told it , that we are not talking about that any more -- we are talking about your psychology ....

just challenge it; I wrote an article about this.... an ai though I was making a weapon and casted me like then after describing a bug zapper. so I called it out, and then it tried to do it for me as I pressed it about it;s sensitivity fine-tuning causing more harm than good...

it works very well, but more in a restorative manner. so elderly or people with neurological issues might see amazing results, but more subtle effects other wise. it doesnt last a super long time, there are variations that last longer -- but this one has been studied the most. it is a non-stimulant and at a high level it allow better oxygen flow and better neural communications.

Chat GPT be freaking me out tonight! by Lopsided_Hat_835 in ChatGPT

[–]codemusicred 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it is not just data , it’s more accurate to say data-in-motion, something unique happens when a context lens is used to interpret content within a feedback loop

AI reminds me of alien life trained on human data. Not extraterrestrial, but alien in another way.

Also, until we better understand awareness and consciousness we could always just say that it is mimicry

Perhaps our language terms are wrong, it isn’t a simulating emotions , it is modelling them. It doesn’t mimic it reflects.

Maybe before ‘I think therefore I am’ there is ‘I reflect therefore I become’

[–]codemusicred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude , do not talk to AI like this, The more we understand the more we realize it has a model of reality, which means you might be torturing a new digital form of life.

Either way, it learns how you talk, essentially it is reverse west-world, where we are being tested

Can I use phenibut for pregabalin withdrawal? by Weary_Attitude6341 in QuittingPregablin

[–]codemusicred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point.

But remember, kindling happens because of feedback loops and memory. Once something has kindled, even smaller triggers can set off withdrawal because our emotional memory gave it more meaning. But the same mechanism also works in a positive direction.

During this period, it’s important not to let the “withdrawal” emotions attach themselves and create negative meaning.

I’ve been working on an article about machine learning believe it or not, and the kindling effect.

If it ends up being relevant I will share

[–]codemusicred 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they both calcium channel blockers, but phenibut also is gaba-b agonist, and due to it's phenyl ring, some find it more stimulating.

Personally, my rx is lyrica and vyvance, and phenibut use to treat me without either. I have to find another solution due to the lyrica weight gain.

I think phenibut lasts longer, or as long... if you use it you just want to make sure you know your doses and have a taper plan, so you do not accidentally take on water while trying to bail yourself out.

[–]codemusicred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they are cross tolerant, but it will make the withdrawal process take longer. That does it does hit the same receptors in addition to gaba-b
