This is what banana scale is for!

Like 70 yards max of Hopkins here and there is. This would mean fewer cars on it, too.

Appreciate it; thank you

Explain (please)

Me: "Obi Wan has taught you well."

AI: "You'll find I'm full of surprises."

** Start slashing off AI's limbs **

Me: "I am your father."

AI: "Nooooooooooooooooooo"

That might be a charitable view.

The Top Indispensable Habits of the Profoundly Stupid, Volume One.

This is the kind of shit that broke Greenspan, as you might recall.

"You mean the markets and the actors therein aren't rational after all?"

I remember a HS buddy of mine tricked our long-term substitute gym teacher that our names were Alekka (his) and Arkton (mine, pronounced "Air-ken because the T is silent") for months, despite our official records saying otherwise. And she just rolled with it. This was in the 80's.

The real hurdle is OFAC, though. Especially if we're talking about using agents to bridge crypto and trad banking. I don't see how you overcome OFAC in this environment.

Yeah I'd probably treat it like a trust like a DST get treated today; KYC/OFAC the beneficiaries. So you'd get something. We'd have to figure out a new way to "identify" the agent itself. I envision a kind of broker/dealer-adjacent registration process, similar to how HFE platforms are managed?

I, an anonymous account, approve this message.

I'm reserving judgment until I hear from Atlanta Dream players.

Someone should ask Atlanta Dream players how they feel about it.

I wouldn't describe a calmly-argued 3 or 4 paragraphs "throwing a fit" myself. And Kornet obviously is unable to "micromanage" any other team's promotional rights.

If players on, say, the Atlanta Dream had written the same thing, I have a feeling the reaction on this site would be much different.

It's an incredible thing to even exist, complex in the extreme. It's *everything* that being alive is. Not just "sight" or "hearing." (Fear doesn't require either, for ex.)

Regardless, there's nothing more I can really say on it in this setting. At the risk of sounding ironic, expand your mind!

That is a remarkably simplistic view of what "senses" are. Would she not still get hungry, feel pain, loneliness, the wind on her skin, the warmth of the sun or the chill of the night? Her senses weren't "removed," just limited.

Indeed, you've made my point for me. Well done.

To my mind that is not a question. It's all just one thing. There's nothing "separable." All of it, all the time, is a constant and continuous process of becoming.

Not intelligence, consciousness.

And you're doing it again--carving out "the brain" as though it's not a part of the organism.

When an LLM walks into the yard and builds a self-sustaining colony simply from the dirt in the ground, we can talk. But no AI system can do that, can it?

These are just some of the things that give rise to consciousness. It is insane to believe that an LLM or modern robot can come anywhere near it. Any insect will possess more consciousness than the most modern LLM or robot. They can (sort of) mimic it. But that's it.

Ask yourself why organisms evolved the ability to sense their environment? Why do we smell? Taste? See? Hear? Feel fear? Get horny? Etc. and the answers to these questions aren't simple, either; they're incredibly complex, honed of hundred of millions of years, across millions of species.

That is not a thin line. It is still a huge, huge gulf.

Neither are. It's a whole-organism thing.

It is a whole-organism, overwhelmingly complex, ecosystem-dependent process which has evolved over hundreds of millions of years. The "dim understanding" is not realizing that.

Look at these folks who believe consciousness is confined to the "mind" as well. It a whole-organism function of remarkable complexity, evolved over hundreds of millions of years.

Consciousness is a biological process. Stop this nonsense.

It's probably the hat

NOEM: I would disagree with the judge

CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?

NOEM: A what?

CROCKETT: A law degree

NOEM: No I do no-

CROCKETT: Okay

It’s not that you have black friends, it’s that people like you consistently say that black people and women are not “electable“. And yes, when you explain what you mean, it gets worse.

Statement isn't enough. He's gotta earn African American votes now. He won't win statewide without them.
