We're in Eternal September now. Have been for a few decades.

Hmmm, it's almost like the study was testing peoples perception of the usefulness of AI vs the actual usefulness and results that came out.

That's why I think the final iteration of the fediverse will be a mostly defederated bunch of echochamber bubbles. People don't actually want diverse opinions. They want a diverse group of people to share their opinion so that they can feel theirs is the dominant, right one. Give it 5 years and the fediverse will be just as much walled off and divided as the rest of the internet is now.

People like to complain about the evil's of humanity and yet always seem to act like it's forced upon us by some outside force. Like the 1% are a different species and not just glowing examples of our worst traits cranked up to max. Like someone else is making humanity act this way. But nah, it's just us and our nature. And until we understand and address that properly, none of our problems are going anywhere.

Lmao you are oblivious if you think it's possible to set up a network that someone CANT fuck up while having physical access to it.

It's not magic.

The point is NETWORKS ARE COMPLICATED. Users are generally dumb. The point is you don't expect them to have the knowledge to do it right. So they'll break something. Users with actual knowledge could yes, break things even worse.

That's EXACTLY why they're restricting hardware use.

Welcome to the conversation, smh

If everything is set up perfectly, it should work, sure. Now how many people do you think even know the difference between WAN and LAN? You expecting the bio or art major to not make any mistakes at all? Or the business major?

Users are often dumb. Imagine 100 people who think they know what they're doing trying to set up a bunch of custom networking.

That's your dorm.

Most dorms either outright prohibit using personal hardware like that or require the schools IT department to install it themselves and set it up.

Run a network of your own someday and you'll understand. It's hard enough to get your own network working perfectly without a bunch of wildcards popping up everywhere.

Things like Spotify or your phone/earbuds themselves usually have a mono setting. I use it all the time when only wearing one earbud. Beatles songs are notorious for splitting vocals to one ear only.

The solution is already right there. But let me guess, "No, I want to use my old wired earbuds from 1995 and they should accommodate me in my archaic niche use case instead of me upgrading my earbuds to enjoy the new features developed like forced mono"?

Ok, so what is the exact process that creates consciousness? Cus that's what I'm saying is debated but you apparently have that answer. So what EXACTLY, down to the atomic level, is consciousness? What processes and how do they emerge into consciousness?

I'll be waiting for your exact, undebated answer.

"what property is altered"

Ummm, the part where you are a continuous object that is suddenly disassembled.

Dont be intentionally obtuse. Yes, this is a ship of thesis type problem, but there's a very clear point when you stop being "you" - when you're a stream of atoms. Although many versions of a teleporter don't transmit the atoms, only the data of how they're arranged. In that case, you are very distinctly a photocopy, as no original atoms remain.

In the case of atom transfer, you stop being you during the time you are a bundle of atoms with no consciousness. Some people believe we're like a forever stew and if you shut it down like that and reboot it, it's not the "same" stew anymore because it wasn't just the emergence of the consciousness, but the specific emergence itself. Essentially You v1 died in its sleep and You v2 seamlessly took it's place without knowing. Tho that line of thought could applied to sleeping and loss of consciousness during surgery.

All of this is to say it's not a cut and dry answer and people claiming there's a diffinitive, clear cut answer are incorrect. It's a complex question that touches on the very nature of our existence and is still hotly debated. Even academics who believe we are purely chemical machines debate exactly how that works.

Yup. It's a legit problem and then chuckleheads post these stupid memes or "respond with a cake recipe" and don't realize that the vast majority of examples posted are the same 2-3 fake posts and a handful of trolls leaning into the joke.

Makes talking about the actual issue much more difficult.

It is fake. This is weeks/months old and was immediately debunked. That's not what a ChatGPT output looks like at all. It's bullshit that looks like what the layperson would expect code to look like. This post itself is literally propaganda on its own.

It's public. Anyone can. Jesus you people always try to spin this into some conspiracy

This was debunked LONG ago - that's NOT a chat gpt output. It's nonsense that LOOKS like ChatGPT output.
