After writing a cover letter and an email knowing damn well that there are
subtle grammatical errors in it, I thought about how I could use AI to remove
those imperfections, but as a reader of a cover letter I’d prefer those
imperfections to be present It's so much more authentic. I think authenticity
will be a big part of the future with AI. The game won't be to be objectively
the best at art, it will be to be fully authentic, and to thereafter compare
yourself to those around you. Painting competitions won't become corrupted by
AI, people will know that AI can make the art that best appeals to the judges.
People will know it's impossible to compete against AI, so we won't care to. I
don't think people will look at AI as a way to help make art or anything. In
person competitions might become very popular for being able to ensure
competition stays AI-less. I suspect people will stop using grammarly and these
things to help with essay writing, because the only point of writing an essay
will be to show your character, and skills at writing. I favor a world where
humans have a need to do things in a similar way to the way we do things now
because rate limited communication is a fundamental need for humans. Like
imagine being able to transmit every message in the most effective way possible.
Perhaps it is to our happiness to have to decipher messages. I bet a large part
of the brain is dedicated to the processing of speech, and it's probably true
that if just a bunch of your brain is just not being used, you get depressed. Or
maybe that part of your brain will start being used for other stuff. Part of our
meaning of life, is probably having conversations that are quite slow and
difficult to process. I just don't know how much AI will actually change our day
to day. Like it's damn true that there's not gonna be any bus drivers or
anything like that, but how humans actually operate will probably be with
minimal AI in their interactions. People will probably spend more time competing
in things. School will be for the competition rather than the prospect of
getting a job. I bet people will focus their time on much more social things.
We'll probably come to realize that AI entertainment is worse than a lot of
drugs.
I actually can't see a future where we're fused with AI anymore. The rate of
data transfer to our brain will probably stay the same. We'll have to ability to
max the data transfer rate to our brains but that probably won't be something
we'll wanna do. Being a ultra intelligent human will be the most useless thing.
What'll the purpose of that be? You'll always be slower than the best AI. People
will use brain computers interfaces not for intelligence but aiding in tasks
that we already do today. A BCI will be... Well either we're in VR non stop with
them and everything is VR and ur a skeleton in real life, or we're just slightly
enhanced like you have a representation of a physical computer and like
headphones and stuff. I'm not sure if anyone will go outside with perfect VR at
their fingertips. Going on say a hike in VR might lack the necessary feature
that is the risk of dying. It just might not be fun to do anything that you
could do in the real world in VR because no one takes it seriously. The video
games might be fun for us but they might get too close to wireheading. If I
could be in a lucid dream 24/7 I probably wouldn't but lucid dreaming while
sleeping is cool. Not sure if I want any of that during the day tho.

The only problem arises when the AI is indistinguishable or better than humans
in all respects. The truth is that we may be better off only communicating with
AIs, ones that are best suited for our personality and would make us the most
happy, ones that would challenge us but not too much, ones that would listen to
us but not so much to make us feel overly important, and yatta yatta. But with
wireheading, and such, do we really want what’s best for us? Or are we okay with
know that we're not our best selves. People will probably stick to the old ways
of humanity. In what setting are humans most happy. Probably that in which we
stopped evolving. Are the happiest people now happier than the happiest people
back in the day? What I'm saying, is in a world of AI how will humanity choose
to live if we can live however we want. Will we even be given the option is the
other question though. We'll probably all have our own personal AI that we can
program to do whatever we want, then there will probably be some AI companies
that have even more powerful AI's. Maybe. Maybe there's only so much value that
any given number of FLOPS can get you on earth. It could be that, we all have
this max number. If 20 petaFLOPS gets you one humans brain worth, then how many
humans of computer would you even want. Surely you want a little bit more than
your own, but you probably don't need more than 100,000,000,000,000. So if we
could all have that or more, would there even be a possibility for someone to
use more? Again the truth is that we'll either have all AI relationships or
none. There doesn't seam like there's room for in between. I lean to the side
that there will be j
going to bed now

If you flew up to a planet in the middle of space, and there was nothing except
you and this planet in the hypothetical universe, how on earth would you measure
how fast it is spinning. I don’t think you can! Well what if there was a moon of
this planet that was way way the hell out there. And what if you measured the
planets spin with respect to this moon and said wow this moon is the thing that
is stationary and calculated orbital velocity relative to the moon. Well big G
could be just about anything in that case. What if the moon was close enough
that it was basically touching the planet (just ignore tidal forces okay) well.
And what if the planet was such that its spin with respect to the moon was zero.
Then if you were to stand on the planet you’d be like yooo damn there’s like no
gravity on this planet. Idk just random. I guess you could measure the spin by
being in orbit and sending a bunch of pods hither and tither and observing them
to see which ones fall out of orbit the fastest, then do some iteration until
you find the exact speed for the fastest decent rate. Then you could measure the
spin of the planet relative to a thing depending at the fastest rate. Yeah
that’s probably what you’d do. Nvm that moon BS. But what if you were orbiting a
black hole or something. You’d have to orbit insanely fast. Like crazy crazy
fast like speed of light speed. In that case, like you’d have such a tough time
sending pods in each direction and seeing which one falls the fastest. You’d
probably just measure the spin of the black hole relative to the orbit of light
or some bs. Being able to measure the spin relative to the fastest descending
object is kinda crazy because that would mean in an empty universe you’d be able
to have a measure for the spin relative to ____. Relative to what is just my
question!? This implies some sort of fabric or ether of the universe. This
relates to like the conservation of angular momentum or smthn. I mean it like
this: all the planets are in the same plane of orbit around the sun, this is
because the sun is moving through space. But like what if there was nothing else
out there except the solar system. That means that we can measure the velocity
of the sun without anything else around.
its 2:09 AM rn idk whats going on. I'll read this back and edit it later. This
was kind of the thought I was trying to convey back in august 2022

Made a lot of little improvements to the blog today. I'm trying out having the
text justified. The next things to do would be to use javascript for the
comments (idk tho because at that point I might as well use SQL) and finally
make a custom page for my linktree finally.
On a different note, I've been doing a lot of arduinoing lately. I bought the
nano 33 ble sense for my Another Flight Computer project. It looked like a great
board but since there is only one hardware serial port and no ability to do
software serial, the thing is totally useless because I don't wanna do that
canbussing stuff. So I ended up buying the teensy 4.1 which is what Alessandro
at MetRocketry is using. This is picture of Bao and I holding some arduinos.

Absolutely love the new look. The comments boxes epic!!🤙🤙

Went to launch canada last week. Built this little flight computer

and launched it 181m high in a little E class rocket:

I dressed up a bit

went to a conference

my role on my team was capcom

this is a video of our engine firing

I wonder if the dark matter is exactly equal in every galxaxy or if it differs.
If it's equal then it must be some phenomena we don't know about, and if it's
different then idk it's aliens.

Eric
Idk the answer to this, but I just came to say how happy I am the blog is back.
This is my safe space. The blog has gotten me through so many hard times. Thank
you zeul for facilitating a place to learn, laugh and express yourself. #blog

hi eric!

The universe is expanding, and the rate that it is expanding is increasing. But
what about the rate of the rate of expansion? What's that doing? Is it
increasing or decreasing? It could be that all the rates of change are
increasing but the like millionth derivative is decreasing. Maybe the universe
will eventually start contracting, or maybe time will slow down and then
eventually start running backwards. Both possibilities would result in another
big bang.
Now, the big bang couldn't have been perfectly uniform since things are not
spread out equally in the universe. Why the hell was it not perfectly uniform?
Idk if that assumption is even accepted out there. Maybe it was. Maybe it's that
space is expanding in a non-uniform way. But assuming the big bang wasn't a
perfect singularity, that means that it could have been possible for something
to interfere with it in some way or another. If we could get around the
uncertainty principle then we'd be able to theoretically predict what would
happen throughout the course of the entire universe after a big bang, and it
could be that it's possible to pass information through the "singularity." It
could be that we could create any reality with any set of planets and galaxies
however we want. Or we could even recreate ourselves! What if there are like
multiple alien civilizations that all want to be recreated after the big bang,
and we all have to collaborate on how we're gonna go into the big bang because
if just one person messes it up the entire course of time would be messed up
because of the butterfly effect.

This was a very thought provoking read. Also I like how the dates look now. Very
classy🧐🧐
