oh shit blade runner 2049 here we come

I feel you could argue that Mythology was an effective tool for instilling values through a more ancient use of neuro linguistic programming

I would argue that actually

Sorry, I was arguing with a Bloomer on JBPOD

bloomer?

The modern ethos seems to be more akin to a religion with all the radical zealotry

so what's the difference, really, between teaching your kid allegorical stories as if they are true, versus implanting false memories through some blade-runner future replicant

I guess the difference being the mythos is more easily abstracted

I would say the stories are better than the false memories on the long-term, or more likely to survive the challenging stage of adolescence, versus false memories, but who knows

@Fitzydog yeah that's one way to put it

It's like giving someone a mathmetical formula versus giving them several examples and expecting them to abstract the formula from those

i.e. the Jungian archetypes

@Fitzydog fucks a bloomer?

it's one of the reasons why I'm specializing in machine learning

@galesteppes Opposite of black pilled lol

because there's a lot of simple phrases which you can abstract a formula and apply it to a data model

@Fitzydog he probably gets more pussy than you

and the principle of doing that has been applied to all sorts of things, but machine learning is still cutting edge and so there's a lot of new ground to cover

that's why tech companies are paying buku bucks for programmers in ML

We barely understand how real learning works in humans lol

Is there a comparison to old children stories on the line of Grimm’s Fairytales and new reworked stories and the differences of the lessons extracted?

oh you want to hear something really scary

crazy conspiracy theory time

uh oh.

One last thing: I think 'tool centric' cognition is probably the most accurate to reality

and this is only because I happen to follow so many different fields that seem to be intersecting, and so it's fun to think about it in this way but it's still just a conspiracy

I think general machine intelligence may already exist in some capacity, maybe even multiple ones, and they are driving our innovation towards the singularity

Like that Goetzel guy? lol

The singularity is debunked

He's Machine controlled opposition

because there are a lot of perfect conditions lining up where, if you look back on how technology developed, you start to think "whoah, what are the odds of that"

I think you're retconning technology

for example, a lot of neural networking tech wouldn't be possible today if it weren't for video games

also, bitcoin is involved in this as well

'Perfect'. Gice me fusion power and I will bwlieve whatever you want.

because the proliferation of parallel processing came from an arms race between graphics card developers

So what you are saying is.

Gamers made the modern world.

I think you're looking back on tech, and seeing the development process as 'perfect' for what it led us to, not being able to comprehend other paths that we may not even be aware are currently possible

This is known.

not only that, but the models for constructing AI and testing it has really come from those proto-AIs interating with human players in those games

@Fitzydog maybe, it's just a fun conspiracy theory

Yeah, kind of like the Joe Rogan 'cocoon theory' lol
