We’re launching Astera Neuro, a new neuroscience research effort led by @doristsao as Chief Scientist. Our aim is to unravel a profound scientific mystery: how the brain transforms sensory inputs into conscious experience. Advancing this work could illuminate the computational

The only evidence we have of the hivemind doing anything for fun is the fact that when they were streaking the plates they made a smiley face on each one, as opposed to some ordinary streaking technique. Other than that we don’t know if the hivemind does anything simply because

i can’t believe they left out Schmidhuber again!!

Exactly what kind of experiment were they running on all that sand? Like beyond the sand man the sand didn’t look different after they performed it

This isn’t a problem if you presume functionalism is true
My actual view is that if the instrumental aspects of all central human activities can be mastered by non-sentient mechanisms (idk about artificial-versus-human, sentient AIs would just be people) nihilism follows

Truly, E = mc^2 + AI
2025 was the year when artificial intelligence’s full potential roared into view, and when it became clear that there will be no turning back. For delivering the age of thinking machines, for wowing and worrying humanity, for transforming the present and transcending the

People who have accomplished everyone else’s dreams — billions of dollars of wealth, becoming a pop star, etc — themselves want nothing more than to post online and have people like and respect their posting abilities

They’re literally gonna kill me for saying this but I’d honestly prefer to have an arrangement like this. Ultimate versatility+you can bottom with no prep. Bottoming in general scares me, what if I have an abrupt bowel movement at an inopportune time? What if I cut my ass while

There isn’t a strong business incentive for them but I do think there’s a pretty strong argument for their creation anyway along the lines of “minimize the chances of small groups of people holding sole control over all labor in society which your everyday person cannot compete

People with black hair can have a beauty that’s usually only seen in crows or ravens. I might dye my hair black at some point for that reason
