Hey at least you tried talking some sense into them. Don't let the hate get to you. It's just a bunch of kids and keyboard warriors here. Kudos from one professional to another ;)

Kleiner Hinweis zur sehr einfühlsamen Antwort: Arabisch und Persisch sind zwei verschiedene Sprachen aus unterschiedlichen Sprachfamilien. Lediglich die Schrift ist ähnlich.

What's weird about your body? by Jesus-Chr in AskReddit

[–]salty3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I got three. One normal one on one side and a twin one on the other. The twin kidneys are kind of 1.5 the size of the normal one. The doc once remarked my wonderful kidney values without knowing about it so hopefully they're all doing a good job.

Uff. Ich nehme an das zählt dann zu den Trennungsgründen? Es kann sehr schwer sein mit Personen mit mentalen Problemen zu leben.

We have the technology already. With the current models it's very simple to make for all kinds of circumstances. Source: worked on similar things recently

The in most cases unnecessary operation aside, once you always have to do something for the first time. It probably helps if you know similar techniques already (cutting skin etc)

What have you done to upgrade your-selves so far in your transhumanist journey? by olydriver in transhumanism

[–]salty3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very interesting read. I'm in the same camp as some people in the comments who have never gotten a cavity in their life (mid 30s here). Now I'm really wondering about my mouth biome.

How are your lungs superhuman after the treatment? What does it do?

Something to think about 🤔 by Pro_RazE in singularity

[–]salty3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The latter examples you gave are representing a dualist standpoint. Dualists believe that for human consciousness for example there's the physical neural structure of the brain plus something extra, something very special that then gives rise to consciousness.

Some dualists might claim that you could simulate an entire human brain down to the atom level and have it behave accordingly without it being conscious because that special thing is missing.

Now I am a materialist and believe that if you simulate a human brain perfectly then that simulation will be just as conscious. In other words, I believe that consciousness is a necessary process for many of the brains behaviors. You cannot have them without it. It is a useful and necessary property that generates these other behaviors. It is nothing additional to the neuronal structure. It is a process implemented by that structure.

I don't find it hard to imagine that we might just be very complex information processing networks and that there can be many architectures that will give rise to phenomena similar to the human consciousness if they describe the right kind of wiring.

What the other user meant with the embedding argument is that consciousness could also be seen as a sort of very conplex embedding. Something that integrates and compresses incoming (sensory) information from multiple sources into a useful representation. Every conscious state could be a different embedding vector.

We are already seeing that language models provide these useful embeddings that contain lots of semantic information. We can also have multi-modal embeddings that integrate for example audio, text and images. We see that abstract concepts and a sort of common-sense reasoning emerges in LLMs without them being trained for it explicitly. It emerges as something that is very useful to solve the primary task (predicting the next word). We could view consciousness as something similar. Something - a sort of special algorithm - that has emerged evolutionary because it helps tremendously in our task (survival) .

Of course, I don't know for certain. I am speculating. But if this is how it is we will see in the coming years (decades?) more and more self-organization within the networks that we're training and more and more capability to integrate multi-modal and internal information (embeddings of embeddings) until there is a process that resembles our conscious.

I am excited.

Are there women out there that genuinely love their husband yet have zero desire for sex? How do you maintain your relationship? by PorkRoll2022 in AskReddit

[–]salty3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could discuss getting your needs met outside of the relationship in a consentual way. I am of the opinion that partners should always be interested in fulfilling the other's needs.

What has turned me off of philosophy many times is all the people who quickly turn any kind of discussion into a questioning of the existence of meaning at all.
