    Maybe we can learn some lessons from digital artists who naturally fret over the use of their skills and how they will be replaced by stable diffusion and friends. In one way, yes,…

    I can’t remember ever asking a question and getting a helpful answer to be completely honest.. I feel weird when I read about people needing support. Maybe there is something wrong…

    Yes, that’s true and very cool but you’re an expert. Where do the next generation you’s come from? The ones that did not do weeks of dead-end research which built resilience, skill…

    You miss the point. It’s not I don’t believe in scarcity or the second law of thermodynamics, it’s that I critique capitalism’s handing of it that is by its very nature exploitativ…

    That’s strange, because capitalism is the one that thinks infinity is real. Also it’s trying to break nature, quite literally given the state of our climate. There are other ways t…

    If you earn some dough and are treated somewhat nice you have already hit the jackpot. Don’t give up a perfectly good job just because you have power fantasy issues. You will alway…

    It’s not sci-fi though. If Star Wars is sci-fi then Jurassic Park is a biology documentary.

    No matter how you twist it at some point two consciousnesses differentiate on some contradictory issue maybe not name, but surely they differ on some issue otherwise they wouldn’t …

    It’s a single narrative that controls the body is what I mean. If one consciousness says “I am Peter” then other consciousnesses would know that and be conflicted about, if they do…

    Which one controls the body? There is a problem there. You can’t just have a bunch of disembodied consciousnesses. Well, maybe.. but that sounds kind of strange.

    Then there is the beautiful issue of memory: maybe you are X consciousnesses but only one leaves a memory trace? Consciousness and memory are two very different things. Don’t think…

    While this issue is complicated and caused by a variety of factors I believe it is indicative of the quality we are going to be seeing in the coming decades. Well, that plus ads. T…

    I’m European, so: heavy—ass regulation. Don’t trust the market. We don’t trust capitalism with all important bits of civilization: government, water and food quality, care, educati…
