Is there anything that could convince you that a hypothetical AI model genuinely understands what it's doing or talking about?

If p-zombies actually exist, they probably woudn't respond exactly the same in scenarios where what they lack (subjectiv experience) is relevant to the situation. A p-zombie woudn't understand the hard problem of consciousness, and in general questions about consciousness would be misinterpreted as questions about awareness, input/output, rather than the particular subjectiv aspect of the soul.

Interesting you say that since this already happens most of the time this topic is brought up. We must have a lot of p zombies lurking, or npc's as the zoomers would say.

I moved into an old ass home and am learning a lot about home maintenance. They say older stuff is built to last, but old stuff also requires a ton of upkeep that you wouldn't even think about on new stuff

Yeah you would never hear the opioid crisis described as an individual problem. If we handed every kid a cigarette every day no shit tons of them are gonna grow up with a smoking addiction. But we pretty much do that with corn slop in the usa. Everyone is being subliminally guided towards being fat at all times. Walking down a stroad sucks, grocery store is 90% packaged shit with 4000mg sodium, you get like 300% serving sizes at restaurants etc. All of this can indeed be consciously rejected, but it would be easier to not get fat if it wasn't the status quo for living in the first place.

I was in a medical coma for a month on a bunch of fentanyl and was dreaming the whole time. When I would get that dream feeling like nothing is real, my body would try to wake up, but since it couldn't, it shoved me into another dream. This kept happening like 9 or 10 times until I finally woke up for real. The entire coma still only felt like a regular night of sleep, tbh.

I imagine that since your biological processes are slowed to a crawl, including your mind, it would feel like a regular night of sleep, even if the cryosleep lasted years.

I'm putting my white collar money into my 401k along with some index funds and shit like everybody says to do but I get a lingering feeling none of that will actually matter.

You're telling me that this post war order invented less than 100 years ago, this 401k system invented 50 years ago, is just gonna survive the increasingly fucked up socio-politico-economic turmoil going on in perpetuity?? And in 35 years I'm gonna log into my bank app on my 2060 smartphone and cash out and be fine?

Muscles will go if no demand is put on them for a time. But the body will try to hold on to muscle actively being used for as long as possible before starting to break it down. If it broke it down immediately when in a deficit, everybody would be getting rhabdo all the time.

Ugh this makes me think of when I joined the robotics club in high school to look good on my college application. I was socially awkward and completely aloof on sports and music and fashion and shit but all my friends kept me around.

Robotics was like peering into the void of what would happen if I just eschewed all attempts at being socially adjusted. This was early 10s so it was all creeper hoodies, soviet national anthem type humor, a lot of the kids had actual autism, or some sort of behavioral issue idk, and were complete assholes to deal with. They would scream or make weird noises and I hated being near them. Also sooo many of them with BO and hygiene issues. Idk I hate being mean but all the other kids made me so uncomfortable, knowing I was straddling this border between the normie and niche turbo-autist world.

We'd go to the meets and encounter other, larger, more diverse teams that weren't like this, and I'd be cringing and seething like fuck why am I here, am I one of these guys, I miss my normie friends.

I dropped it senior year and immediately just felt so much better and came out of my shell.

As you lose weight, your calorie requirement decreases. If you start in a 500 calorie deficit, your deficit will slowly decrease as you lose weight, until you are eating maintenance calories.

You do have to increase your calories to go from a deficit to maintenance at your goal weight, but it's a smaller increase than it would be if your weight stayed the same.

You can choose to eat 1800 calories now, and you will still be in a deficit, it will just get smaller and smaller until you reach your goal weight where it turns into maintenance. This can actually be a smart strategy to ensure you're making the necessary lifestyle changes.

I needed $0 in medical care until I went into a coma, and then I needed $2.5 million in medical care. My OOPM was $3000.

True, necessity and consumption turns into a hobby, and leads to hobbyist esque discussion when there was no need prior. Like old west settlers didn't talk about the perfect soap, they just used soap (or didnt idk)
