I have a rockstar pediatrician friend, married to another rockstar pediatrician. They had 4 kids. One of their babies was extremely colicky. I said, wow, wasn't that hard? She said, "No. The patient is just telling you it has a patent airway and a heartbeat "

Also very concerned about this. Why would you rewrite your memories??

I load movies on the Fire before plane rides. Is he not a movie guy? My 4 year old also just stared silently out the window for much longer than I thought possible. I know this doesn't answer your question. :D

For example, we all live in the brain of either Bill Gates or Steve Jobs. I'm grateful to Sam Altman solely for providing another brain.

This happened to my husband, too. And it happened to me with our alarm code.

The deep sea is still an option. Your energy might even help, although it needs light, right?

Just realized that the conclusion that EM waves don't need matter to transmit energy is probably wrong if light does have a mass, no matter how small.

This is a good point. Most interesting about the entire idea: our reality, including our friends, is already a projection. Will straight up AI friends be noticeably different?
What he's not saying is those "friends" will seem like real people. Your years-long friendship will culminate when they convince you to buy a specific truck. Suddenly, they'll blink out of existence, having delivered a conversion to the company who spent $3.47 to fund their life.

Zuckerberg explaining how Meta is creating personalized AI friends to supplement your real ones: “The average American has 3 friends, but has demand for 15.”

Hi. Extreme charismatic here. Both an art and a science. The science is methodology, like "meet people's eyes" and "ask questions about their interests" and those are good. But the ART is teaching yourself to genuinely light up when you meet someone new. EVERY TIME.
