If we rig the jury to all be Silicon Valley investors and CEOs, you just have to say “AI” and you’ll win the case.

Older people ignore the comment sections in their factorization. I think this can be fair but also isn’t necessarily when we consider things like livestreams on twitch and youtube, where you will have actual communities form on the platform itself, who communicate and form friendships and relationships. Unlike message boards and forums typically have, there is a “main character” if you will, but I don’t think that makes it asocial.

There’s also the participatory, communicative environment people feel even as smaller creators. It’s not like film and TV where you need an entire network and brand backing you, and as such it’s pretty democratized to be a social outlet for people.

Why are you always spending time with the CIA? Pretty sus, maybe you’re in the CIA, or a CIA shill, huh?

OP ITT is really just jumping around screaming that they’re the only person on this platform who’s not in the CIA lmao

You just did.

“because…?” ?

Canada, USA, the EU

First off, chill lmao. I don’t really want to take a defensive position on this because it’s not something I do or can believe, but moreso an interesting idea that I see no clear problems with. I believe in it no more than “the universe is a simulation” or “the universe was created by some exoversal trigger”

Secondly, Math makes it possible. Or maybe some exoversal form thereof off of which our universe builds and adds to.

Thirdly, going beyond the scope of existence within time and space necessarily will kick the can down the road to some extent. That’s an absolutely daft complaint given the subject.

That one is certainly illegal, misrepresenting yourself as a lawyer online and giving legal advice on that basis. Same for doctors.

Yeah, brining up such a being was merely an analogue. The actual idea I’m putting forward is there is no need for a means of “the universe” to begin. If it can, it does, and we’re simply within a figment of possibility and potential.

Don’t do this.

Genuine question: Aren’t you supposed to say “this is not legal advice?” if you identify yourself as a lawyer but you’re not their legal council? Or am I mistaken?

Information actually is quantifiable in physics, and broadly refers to the amount of order and structure present in a system. It’s generally quantified using concepts such as entropy, wherein lower entropy correlates with higher information content.

So, I was talking about my own thoughts on this, and it can’t be disproved, so it’s not really something I can believe in per se, but I think it’s an interesting idea nonetheless. I’m just gonna paste it here because I’d genuinely like to discuss it.

So like, we agree here that the universe could be a simulation, right? That this could be possible, regardless of whether or not that’s true of our particular universe?

I sorta had this idea on christmas last year but I was thinking…
If it’s possible for a universe like ours to exist; for it to be created and to live out its life, etc.

Maybe the idea that mathematics predicts a universe like ours, the stars, the planets, the division of anti-matter and matter, etc., maybe this entire thing is actually just that prediction. Not actually having “come true”, but moreso a figment amongst other figments that the mathematics of reality predict.

To draw an analogue, if an infinitely intelligent, thoughtful, and knowing being had infinite brainpower running at infinite speeds, any time they thought of a universe, a world, a person, they would think with such clarity and depth that the person within it could live an entire life, could have evolved, would have existed in every way that we can perceive. They would have consciousness in any way we can recognize, and themselves wonder about the nature of their universe, and where it came from. But the reality is that it’s just the thought of a being of infinites.

This would be deism, but if even I believe what I said above to be true, I don’t think I need to be a deist.

Because maybe simply the possibility of that happening – the plausible reality of everything existing – is what all it takes.

It’s something that’s churned in my head for a long time, and I really have no reason to believe it; it’s inherently unprovable, and thus isn’t really something I can believe in. But I think it’s an interesting concept.
idk maybe I’ve made some foolish error in the arrogant pursuit of conceptualising all that which I do and don’t understand to be real lol

Basically I postulate that the universe could be in a state of quasi-existence wherein it doesn’t actually need any sort of trigger or anything to exist, because it doesn’t even.

Like what?

I understand the reasoning, but I disagree that it’s an effective solution, or if it was, that it’d be worth what you’re giving up.

No, only from an existing YouTube account

Hanlon’s Razor.

NZ and Philippines are often early test markets for western markets and asia respectively. I’m thinking it’s likely that one of the marketing guys convinced Elon to slow his roll and that’s why it’s only rolling out to a small userbase, rather than being implemented for every user at once like his bad ideas always are.
