“For a noninvasive method, this is a real leap forward compared to what’s been done before, which is typically single words or short sentences,” Huth said. “We’re getting the model to decode continuous language for extended periods of time with complicated ideas.” Thats pretty scary. Who would work on this? Refine this and in 10 years put it into wifi base stations that scan everything and you can read the thoughts o…

Just like we pay people money to sing for us, we'll pay people money to dream for us. The best dreamers and imagineers will sell their distilled thoughts for the rest of us to consume. We'll have an indie scene. We'll share them on internet platforms. Remix them. There's so much more good that will come from this than bad.
Yeah, like get this, when the world is turning to shit because of climate change and we're forced to live underground like rats, we can all collectively hallucinate what the world used to be like. It'll be grand. You'll be hallucinating, I'll be hallucinating, the AI'll be hallucinating too. "His older work was much better," ChatGPT will proclaim. "... what older work?"
Anyway, your post reminded me of the "The Futurological Congress" by Lem.

> It's all glitz and glamor until you encounter an idea you don't like, It's called defeatism. I think it's a sad way to spend our short ~60-80 years as temporarily thinking matter in a brilliant and infinite cosmos. Downer dispositions suck the wonder and awe right out of the air. Work. Build. Grow. If you have a complaint, throw yourself at the problem and fix it. Or maybe the problem isn't so big relative to the o…

What makes you so sure that this is what you claim and not a mental illness? I'm not calling you crazy, I am genuinely intrigued and applying deductive reasoning and rationality to what you've presented to me. Have you measured it? What was the reading? Can you share your data? Have you tried blocking it? Why you? Why not someone else? What makes you a person of special interest and deserving of such an extreme measu…

Did you seriously just link the Wikipedia articles for... microwaves and the EM spectrum? In one sentence, what is the concrete point you are making?
i did. it reads as a story if you ignore everything before the first single "/" and read the title, which has a handy link to anyone wanting more info about it, because i am a nice guy, instead of asking such a question. as far as summing it up, well, you can read what i have posted here to figured it out, if you really want to know more.

In a world where almost every country has an arsenal of weapons, you are afraid of climate change? But yeah, that seems to be the new nemesis for a certain generation. Anyway, your post reminded me of the "The Futurological Congress" by Lem.
I've worked on a documentary about the effects of coastal erosion in Guyana, which won the 2020 Godrey Chin Heritage Journalism 1st prize.
You can see the trailer as well as the complete documentary over on https://hammyhavoc.com/audio-post-production-for-coast-land-...
Will check it out! Also got Neal Stephenson's Anathem recommended earlier. I had no idea how many people on HN read SF! :- )
