don’t worry, I fear I’m an outlier muddying my results too 😂

ah, I’m kind of ignoring the sea of latent vibes entirely. but within the realm of what you consciously experience, I mean the (admittedly ill-defined) spectrum that has math and physics and philosophy at one end, euphoria and dread and anger at the other.

counterpoint: I can do math faster than I can feel sad! but I am learning today that maybe this is a me thing 🫠

😭 it’s actually the exact opposite for me, this post is really showing me how different brains are from each other

this poll is already very surprising to me because my feelings are consistently so slow that it’s not even a question! what do fast feelings even feel like??

The White House briefing room. Four Hs. Three of them are upside down. And it’s been that way since 2007.

this is awesome, and only a little spooky! I hope we get to the good future where the AI overlords discover and show us increasingly elegant math.

and sometimes I am mildly alarmed by the concept of sleep for the exact reason you describe 😅

it would certainly make me feel better to have a copy of me with all of my same beliefs and values running around doing stuff after (in my mind) “I” am gone! but this is the axiomatic part: I just don’t believe I would “move into” the new conscious experience (without a bridge).

I am very much side 1, with a small carveout for “if you bring up my uploaded consciousness and we can merge minds for a while, and only then do you turn my original body off, _maybe_”

the beliefs at the heart of this split seem to be so axiomatic that it’s hard for me to even faithfully describe both sides, but I’ll try 😅
1. the thing that wakes up may be conscious, but I won’t be experiencing it, or anything for that matter
2. I will go to sleep and wake up in the machine

related question “is the upload you” (which most people answer in line with “would you, personally, upload”) has cleanly split most rooms of neuroscientists I’ve seen it asked of approx 50/50
