I think we have to assume that a nervous system is an information processing system or a kind of computer. and that any information processing system over a random level of complexity is capable of hosting a mind.
I tend to take it as red that we live in a simulation but the idea that we are in some kind of fish tank, like that we are the point of or important to the simulation we live in kinda absurd.
We already know that automated content filters don't work. They put absolute power over content in the hands of a system that is opaque and broken.
A couple of days ago YouTube took down all of the Blender Foundation's videos from the Blender Foundation's channel due to a copyright claim by... the Blender Foundation.
The BF is an official YT partner, but days later they still cannot get a straight answer from YT about what is going on:

Everytime I hear something like "it's not for pussies", it reminds me the time I was a pre-teen, and put a "Girls Not Allowed" poster I got from a box of ceral, on my room's door.

Turing tests are cool and all but I want an AI that can DM a game of roll to dodge.
the most interesting use for #FTL and one I never see in #sci-fi would have to be allowing us to validate historical records. if you can move faster then light you can get outside the photosphere of almost any time period in earth history, with the right telescopes you could watch history happening on earth not just reconstruct what happened with what is left.
oh fuck look at the size of those capacitors
I really really really like compound descriptors but I hate when people read words that are not compound descriptors like they are. bi vs pan for instance, in practice they mean the same thing but bi read as a compound descriptor technically excludes non binary people.
if only there was a way to tag words as compound descriptors or just some way to sort the two, but something tells me complex communication problems are English's bread and butter. so I don't exactly see a solution.
I actually been thinking about it and no, I don't know what it is.
