  • I’m kinda stoked by the tech as well and kinda understand how multiple LLMs can produce pretty novel ideas. I think it was in protein-mapping where I first heard of some breakthroughs.

    While I’m happy to hear your experience shows you otherwise, it feels like your advocating for the devil. We don’t want to get lost in an angsty anti-capitalist echochamber, but surely you can see how the comic is poking fun at our tendencies to very cleverly cause everything to turn to shit.

    I guess woosh means missing the point? You are right on an individual basis, but if you look at it in tendencies, you might see why your swings didn’t connect.









  • I had a similar argument with a friend, and I think he won that time. It came out of left field and rephrases the whole thought experiment.

    Instead of me defending the argument, how would you interpret a clone incident? Would you get ‘the other feed’ as well? We have the sleep cycle where we don’t actively get input (even though our conciousness is present during dreams to a certain extent). So if a transporter clone incident rebuilds the person on the other side, but an original instant could go on experiencing a life that wouldn’t be if the transporter functioned correctly.

    Hopefully that took the soul out of your argument!



  • Yeah, there definitely are some waved away elements that are basically magic. I’m just binging TNG now, but I saw the Lower Decks tribute to many-a transporter incidents.

    I mean if you can transport and not at the same time (the copy version), it is not hard to think that once that buffer is cleared on the one side, it’s game over man.
