How will showing people short video clips to create a drug like drip of enjoyable chemical reactions in the brain progress the species?
> (and yes, one feed that contained the thirst trap photos of attractive Indian girls in rather suggestive outfits standing under things like waterfalls; some parts of culture are universal).
Doesn’t sound like any version of progress that I would get excited about.
What's the long term end goal for society? I think one feature of such a society would be unlimited entertainment available for anyone, which TikTok provides.
I think with most work automated away humans should mostly entertain themselves in person. Art should be increasing interactive as everyone has time to level up beyond passive audience.

Possibly (pure speculation here): if you carefully observe, at massive scale, how a system [1] behaves, it may provide some insights into how it is implemented. And based on those learnings, iteratively improve how the platform feeds tests and analyzes responses to gain deeper understanding of the system over time.
[1] In this case, "the system" consists of individual human minds, as well as the overall network of minds.
Excellent! I have also found that if I'm not going to be working on that project anyway, I might as well embrace it, learn something new, learn how to focus again. That's better long-term than pretending I'm working on it.
I was hoping I'd see some discussion about this here. Does anyone think this is a good idea? If so, do we have a real shot at actually making this happen?
Thank you so much for sharing something so personal. I've had deaf friends in my life from time to time over the last 40 years and I thought I understood (as much as any hearing person can). I was wrong. There is so much more that I hadn't even considered.
I use vim and Textmate every day. I like vim for it's speed, but I do use Textmate a lot for it's project mode and for a lot of markdown and xhtml - just out of habit really.
Also, I expect the "machines" to disrupt the film industry in a very similar way.
