Reply to The Tyranny Of Time | NOEMA by Chiquye
I’ve been thinking about the passage of time a lot - and how much it seems to warp and bend like this article mentions. It seems like some months last a year, and others an hour. It’s also jarring how every moment that has defined or impacted me as a human - the moment of my birth, my first kiss, my first true love, every moment of defeat, triumph, joy, despair - carries a time stamp with it even if I’m not personally aware of it exactly. The timeless moments that seem to slip out of this realm can, in actuality, be lodged within their respective minutes somewhere out there in endless ledger of time.

Sure, but there aren’t beings pondering consciousness on the uninhabitable planets. It’s the law of large numbers. So far life’s success rate is something like 0.000000000001%.

I think it general it’s hard to be dogmatic as humans and we’re often pulled in different directions by emotion, sickness, lust, etc. Even holy texts can be self-contradicting and engender different interpretations

Reply to comment by cartoonzi in ChatGPT won't kill Google, it will help it. Generative AI's biggest impact will be on office apps, not search engines. by cartoonzi
I think a small caveat against ChatGPT in this sense is that its answer is biased by its training and it only offers a single concise response to a question, whereas Google returns a list of results which the reader can pick and choose which one appeals to their own biases.
