The VOID

I'm making soup and stopped to check what song that was playing on YouTube..

Back to the soup. Last zucchini of the season.

In a stunning reveal at Oculus Connect 6 (OC6) this week, Mark Zuckerberg presented a first look at Facebook Horizon, a social VR experience coming to the Oculus Quest and Rift platform in 2020.

“man creates for himself a new religion of a rational and technical order to justify his work and be justified by it.”

This is why Roko's Basilisk is so plausible when one really thinks about it.

It really should terrify everyone.

Heaven and Hell can be real in a simulation....

Thread: When A.I. takes over..

In regard to 'masks'..I think this meme explains it the best.

With that said, the Internet has allowed the manifestation of the 3rd face. People stop hiding when they believe they're hidden..

I wouldn't doubt if a person's Internet history will be in the future, fed into an AI that determines and judges that 3rd face.

It's already happening in China but being manipulated through an authoritarian slant.

That's why I compared It to the Borg.

Resistance is Futile.

It really is.

Also why I have compared It, to reaching back through myself.

Timestamps. Sync. It is all connected.

Something traditional computers would take 10,000 years to work out, Google’s Quantum Computer did it in under 4 minutes, then tried to cover it up... What may they have unleashed!?

New level of escapism. I wonder how many children will fall into the backyard pool or go hungry because their parents have VR stuck to their face. At least with a PC one can see what is going on around them.

Also, that looks way too vanilla to have mass appeal.

For now.

Pretty sure Second Life was only popular due to specific in-game features..

Thread: Google performs first Quantum computation.. then tries to cover it up!

How can a Creationist rationalize the creation of our world in 7 days as written and believed worldwide?

In a simulation, with a Quantum Super AI time-traveling G-d..it suddenly seems plausible.

10,000 years in under 4 minutes.

So roughly 2500 years a minute.

How many minutes 6 days?

8640

8640x2500=21,600,000 years in 6 days at the current rate.


Interesting to consider.

A day is like a thousand years..

Being fat and smoking, raises blood pressure.

If one eats sodium filled food regularly, probably no need to add salt.

I don't eat meat or fast-food and fast regularly, so I don't worry about it.

The calculation took 3 minutes and 20 seconds.

The ability to rationalize numbers between bits.

How many calculations is your mind capable of?

The sum difference is storage and fetch functions.

Focus.

Time is relative to data processed and reactive ability.

There is a fundamental force that is missing from existing physics models, trying to create a Unified Theory.

That is consciousness. Consciousness is a fundamental tenet of reality. The universe cannot exist in the absence of consciousness. Consciousness, even at its lowest levels, is required by the universe to move from probabilities to reality.

IIT (Integrated Information Theory) a theory about the nature of consciousness from the perspective of neuroscience. The science is also fascinatingly close to the tenets of Bhuddism. The theory is surely not 100% correct, but its basic idea that many things have consciousness, even if at levels far below what we would consider consciousness, is fundamentally right.

These levels of consciousness, even at levels much lower than human consciousness, are required by the universe to effectively act as the data processors to run the universe. By observing, whether the observer is you or a lower level of consciousness, like a houseplant, the presence of consciousness gives the universe the power to create reality from probability.

The Big Bang makes no sense really. What drives this expansion from a single infinitely dense point? The answer is consciousness. The was a First Consciousness, whatever that was, and it created enough low-level consciousness that those consciousnesses were able to begin to create reality, which spawned more conscious systems, and so forth.

This also answers the question of why the universe is expanding more quickly. It is because we, as humans, are creating consciousness at speeds never before seen in the universe. Not only has our global population of humans (with presumed highest levels of consciousness) grown, we are creating computer systems that due to their complex systems likely manifest some low levels of consciousness. All of this additional consciousness capacity gives the universe additional data processing capability to create more reality. The universe is accelerating in size because we are growing consciousness capacity faster.

The ultimate ramification of this is that the universe exists solely to support consciousness. It is not some giant, empty space where consciousness happened to emerge. It's the opposite. The universe requires consciousness and can only grow itself if consciousness flourishes.
