We could also save a lot of energy if we stopped using our brains, and instead have AI think for us.
Did anyone ever think of that?
In fact, the AI data centers can better use that energy. If only there were some way we could capture the energy our body inefficiently generates and use it to help the data centers, almost like a battery.
We could even feed back some of the energy we give to the data centers to put our minds at ease, perhaps by simulating a matrix of stimulus approximating, you know, the height of human civilization...
I'm thinking "late 90's"
Granted, but only if the exit mechanism requires you to take estradiol.
Best I can give you is a payphone
Somebody should make a movie about that. 😋
Just one, though. It's a great premise but I bet they'd try to make it a trilogy or something and just fuck it up.
On revisit the trilogy isn't that ass. It suffers from the first movie being like a genre and era defining masterpiece.
It's a bit like calling the dark knight trilogy ass because dark knight was so monumentally above and beyond the other 2
I made a rewatch somewhat recently, right before the 4th part was released. And honestly, I don’t even remember my impression. All I remember is some mix of a disappointment, but I had my expectations very low. Watching the 2nd and 3rd films in my childhood, I hated them, so worse (and somewhat complicated) they were in comparison to the 1st one. However, this time, being much older and all, I was surprised they’re not as ass as I remembered them. I’d call them ok, just good enough, but surely worse than the 1st one, the undoubted masterpiece.
But if those creators enlisted a bunch of other folks to make anime adaptions/extended stories, I bet that would be okay.
That dude running so hard he ran out of his own body and into the matrix. That still lives with me
That's just what happens when you hit 88 miles per hour, unfortunately.
maybe name it based on the kind of math that LLMs are built from, some kind of multiplication beginning with an m, it's slipped my mind
Massive of massives, what do you think?
Well.. Only if you "combined it with a form of fusion".
Way ahead of you
😋 👍
Better yet, rent our unused brain space and let corporations use that wasted brain energy for their server farms ... great income for the average person who seldom uses their brains. Then we could use that income to buy credits to have AI think for us ... circle of life.
What a ridiculous idea. The unused brain space is for ads! It's like cryptomining but for Google and Facebook.
or for rendering AI porn .... so much AI porn
But the corporations have the unused brain space. It correlates inverse to their income and executive power. They tend to waste it on doomscrolling Xitter and socializing while golfing.
They're already trying to run A.I. on human brain neurons. How long until they can use living human brains for running A.I.?
I was too busy not using my brain to think of that
CHECKMATE!
