We’ve reached the point where LLMs contribute just as valuable a response as the lowest common denominator human internet commenter. This makes some people spooked so they neurotically second guess every comment that sounds slightly off. Its hard to tell organic farm fresh human trash vs GMO LLM trash unless youve spoken with enough language models to know the subtle quirks. Also this is lemmy so yeah LLM bad

I like to imagine there are infinite universes with slightly different starting conditions/cosmic constant values. Lots of them are non-starters for living observers because their fundimental forces didnt match up right to condense matter into stars after the big bang. Some universes like ours turn out to be goldilocks that balance the forces just right to for matter to assemble into structure and complexity.

Then for each particular universe theres an almost infinite amount of possible spacetime trajectories for matter to structure itself into from beginning big bang to ending heat death. Each unique possible state the universe could choose to become through probability as it progresses in time becomes its own branching divergent timeline, so like many worlds interpretation.

So no I don’t think they are the same thing. There are infinite universes with different seed values, and each one of them contains their own set of infinite possible timelines acting out all possible states that universe could experience given its constraints.

Now what about two separate universes with almost identical starting conditions that happen to share an almost identical timeline that leads to your birth? Are your near-copies the same you experiencing different universes, or just seperate clones?

thanks for sharing it was a great watch! Here’s one of my favorite gen alpha branrot speech parody videos

When writing the “turning the star into a fucking bomb” bit I was actually thinking about the black hole bomb same process as you describe but instead of extracting the energy or momentum it gets fed back into the system forming a runaway feedback loop leading to super nova level explosion. I doubted that a fellow science nerd on lemmy would see this comment and notice the slight error, but I could also see a real scenario where you completely cover a star with mirrors to the point its own energy is radiated back into itself forming a similar feedback loop causing it to explode.

A type three civilization capable of generating wormholes and changing universal constants within a bubble of localized space light-years in diameter when a type 1er ask them how they do anything:

"Graviton stabilizers, tethers, oh and

Any other questions?"

It depends on which communities of lemmy you frequent. If your on c/programmerhumor or c/Linux memes this demographic is fairly accurate, if your visiting c/solarpunk.climate, c/fuckcars, c/fuckcapitalism or c/leftism type communities its more likely to have the younger disillusioned political minded types buried in debt. If I were to put some rough numbers based on my time in lemmy its roughly 30% computer geek IT types, 30% political/ecological activists, 30% LGBQT+, 10% everyone else

No its sadly a reflection of reality for many. Kids who don’t know any better sign the dotted line on a 20k$ loan for a political science or liberal arts degree then wonder why their 4 year education didnt translate into marketable skills for a well paying job.

So they enter their early 20s living paycheck to paycheck on an entry level job barely making enough to pay off their student loans, this months rent, and have enough left over to afford food. This makes them rightfully pessimistic about the system so they go on lemmy to rant about capitalism while hoping it all burns down along with their loans. Its a predictable cliche.

"Dyson sphere? Boooring. Every type 1 baby species always comes up with the same idea, ‘hey lets just surround a star with mirrors and directly harvest the energy! What could possibly go wrong?’ Besides the fact your 80% of the way towards turning the star into a fucking bomb (don’t ask how we found that out), its basic ass vanilla shit.

Look, you don’t progress to a type three civilization by being uncreative hacks. Screw efficiency, the universe is our canvas and this is our art. No, we translocate entire water world planets and ice comets bigger than most moons using manufactured wormholes, hurl them into a designated star and use the steam produced to turn billions of giant turbines locked in orbit around the star. We then convert the mechanical energy to electromagnetic radiation pulses more powerful than neutron star pulsars and reflect them to nearby populated systems with mirrors. Take notes, monkeys."

I see your five paragraph long greentext post about forming pacts with deities from pagan occultism to charge your J.O crystals with long forgotten rituals requiring blessed lube on /x/, and raise the ante by sharing six paragraphs of my personal tales using heroic doses of magic mushrooms to experience ego death, astral project, and telepathically communicate with divine cosmic consciousness using trees as a medium!

They don’t want to admit that its because legal recreational pot usage is on the rise as a safer alternative to nicotine and alcohol

The word itself is actually a pretty good slang to describe the common act that human beings do known as coping, which can also paired with the funny meme of someone actually huffing a substance called copium like it was a potent drug. Let’s be real, some people have the bliners on so thick with denial and do mental gymnastics so hard to protect themselves from unpleasant ideas that may damage their ego or mindset that they may as well be high on something fierce. I’m usually the one criticizing new unnecessary words I think are stupid but I like this one better than most others.

My mom told me an embarrassing story about how my dad once used regular old dish soap apparently it didnt end well and suds got everywhere. At least this person knew to use the tablets.

Do you have cars in your country? If so consider moving into a vehicle and converting it out to both gain freedom and remove rent from the equation. Its not easy or feasable for everyone but perhaps an option to consider. If your family has big back yard maybe put down a four season tent anf move into it so you don’t have to deal with them.

Its easy for a passerby to appreciate the work, skill, and creativity that goes into a painting or song. Its hard for the average person to infer those things looking at an electrical box or a plumbing network. An electrician knows when they’re looking at good up to code wiring and a plumber can tell if the plumbing can be put together right. Those are things the average person has no concept of and doesn’t want to think about all unless they have to. One provides instant artistic appeal while having no practical value, the other provides practical value but its systems are too complicated for the average person to appreciate in totality.

Physics is just applied math and math is just abstract physics without universal constraints.

They are two sides of the same coin that is universal logic, which views fundimental abstract concepts and the arrangement/ change of physical structures as equally important in its operations.

Maybe the distinction between prime number and boson breaks down at some level of reality as pure information packaged in slightly different ways. The same laws that govern the fractal dance between order and entropy build similar geometries whether working with imaginary numbers in the complex plane or arranging base atoms into higher orders of being within in the observable universe.

Thanks to Gödel’s incompleteness theorem at least we know we will never really have a complete picture of the truth of it.

Ill take the L on not knowing that psychical was a word. However you and the other person seem to not be acknowledging that the poster did in fact misspell the word they admitted they aren’t a native english speaker. Thats a detail thats very easy to to actively ignore while on your way to ‘bhut acthually’ someone. As a final thought, I went to google trends to see how many people search up ‘psychical’, theres not even enough searches using that word to form statistical trends. Ive never heard of it before someone accidentally misspelled their way into it and almost certainly I will never hear it again after this conversation is done. Its a dead word like many in the english language. That doesn’t matter, the armchair linguist got the chemicals flowing in your brain from correcting someone on the internet, you got what you came for now fuck off.

How does SteamOS hold up as a daily driver compared to Mint? I always imagined its like a souped up version of steams big picture mode. Is it a good desktop enviroment that comes with ways to manage files and make web app shortcuts?
