  • It’s gonna be locked down. Everyone wants a holodeck, but imagine there are so many rules and regs on what you can and can’t do in one that it’s not even worth it?

    Imagine playing GTA, but:

    • you can’t hijack a train full of people
    • buildings don’t take any damage when you fly helicopters into them
    • people’s limbs don’t detach when you sever them
    • you can’t make idle small talk with random NPCs without it escalating into violence

    Would that be a GTA you would actually play?




  • Here’s the thing. You are all trillion of your features, but you are mostly an informative subset of maybe a million. You drop a verse of shakespeare from your memory and you’d essentially be the same person.

    Your memories don’t encode every single thing that has happened to you, they encode blurry snapshots of fast-decaying events and flatten them over time depending on importance, filling in the blanks with other parts of your mind (made with other blurry decaying events).

    If you thought AI was bad at hallucinating events, be glad you cannot ask your brain direct questions
