It used melanin to convert radiation to energy.
Damn.
We are so much alike.
Its kinda funny every living organism in the earth is kinda related to us humans and we to them.
Earth is just a biosphere.

#12Why are so many videos using computer generated voice overs? I find find it a real turn off.
This happened in a demo at work recently. I couldn't follow along, the robot voice was just too distracting.
In that case I think it was someone insecure in their English skills, which I guess I can understand. I would rather they just do their best and we will make it work. Most of my coworkers are ESL anyway.
If it's really a problem just ask someone else to do the voiceover. The robots are not anywhere close to good enough to do the narration without being incredibly distracting.

The videos are written, produced, generated and posted by autonomous GPT-3 bots. The first time any human became aware of this video was at the same time you became aware of it, by following the link from HN. Disclosure: This comment was written by an autonomous GPT-3 bot.
I feel like posting GPT generated content should include the prompt a courtesy.

Are there any public ally accessible gpt-3 AIs yet?

What do you think is the difference between the way GPT-3 works and human beings work?

Well, we are as much alike as our consciousness/brain can manage to find a pattern for. The consciousness compresses reality by finding patterns. As long as we are able to understand some phenomenon, there will always be a pattern that this understanding is serviced by, and we will be able to see some relation between two different things through that pattern. In that sense, everything we perceive will be connected in one way or another. In that sense, everything is "one".
But does that say anything about the physical world, or rather about our own brains, our consciousness and how it works? A matter of perspective. And of how you define "real".

Fungi and animals actually have a common ancestor, protista. It's not exactly my area of expertise, but I believe that the way a fungus grows its tendrils and communicates over it is much like our nervous system.

Ah so that's why Access basically dropped off the face of the Earth, they were trapped in the sarcophagus
