you want to live off another people to some degree. single farmer can feed hundreds - there is no need for everyone to do everything. which of course raises societal fairness and trust issues

they just want your submission - you are supposed to call your code as AI generated cause that gives them an edge in goofy global AI race

very likely employer just wanted to see how gullible you are

mind reading technology has already arrived. radiomyography & neural networks deciphering EEGs

Not really. Non-invasive interfaces don't have the resolution. Can't make an omelet without cracking open a few skulls.

they do read my mind at least to some extent -> "The paper concludes that it is possible to detect changes in the thickness and the properties of the muscle solely by evaluating the reflection coefficient of an antenna structure." https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6711930

there hasn't been a single schizophrenia diagnosis for a born blind person

What is the probability of being born blind?

What is the probability of having schizophrenia?

What is the probability of both?

What is the probability of both + having resources to have it diagnosed?


Some quick numbers:

  1/2500    .. What is the probability of being born blind?
  1/100     .. What is the probability of having schizophrenia?
  1/250000* .. What is the probability of both?
  1/250000* .. What is the probability of both + having resources to have it diagnosed?
[*] Assuming genetic blindness (born this way) and schizophrenia (elevated genetic risk) are not somehow inversely linked.

So, in the US:

  340MM people -> 1360 born-blind people who would develop schizophrenia
Reduce that by half or so, since schizophrenia tends to emerge in or after adolescence. And since it may be confusable at older ages with other brain health issues (is this true?).

So call it 700 people in the US alone. If it is in fact zero, that is significant!

I chose the US because 100% people will have adequate access to this level of medical care. A formal diagnosis is not the same thing as access, but a born-blind person either has parents/family, or has a state warden with access to care. This is also true in many many other countries, but certainly not all.

The US has 4.1% of the world population. Figure 50% of the world does not have this level of medical access. It's probably less than that, but maybe not.

This suggests about 10,000 people worldwide, living today, who would be affected, and in an environment where they would be diagnosed.


and what is the probability of deaths of Alternative for Germany party members?

whoa, that's a really neat and cool fact. I never knew this.

Wonder why (I don't wonder why)

I remember when borderline/schizoid fren saw some stuff made by one of the first generative models released to the public, Deep Dream.

I hadda smack that laptop shut, my fren froze catatonic from looking at those dog-shaped landscapes


Charlie, say it like it's fun: "Bing!"

I would argue use of VPN is idiotic

for (likely corrupt) down voters - one argument would be that it's basically a subscription to browser fingerprinting. vpn providers even openly state when such doings will begin

#yolo unground that thing

mind reading tech is here - a reality. look up radiomyography and EEG deciphering neural networks. you shouldn't though, not without a permission

"GenAI families of tech" lulz
