RE:CREATORS「レクリエイターズ」- Selesia vs Altaïr [HD 1080p + VOSTFR]

Comment:

Diamondsphere*, is reference to a spinning ring of solid diamond, spinning so fast as to make the shape of a sphere.   But since altair is so powerful, I decided to add sword to the name, as a spinning ring of diamond swords.(*Title giver, describing, contest judge, expert theologian, credit assignment)

Preliminary god* rankings for true god title:

1.Altair god of memes(god of true randomness, Greatest power in existence, so great it doesn't exist! Produced something from nothing! Belief slicer! Mindrape capability! A god made up of ideas)
2.Lain god of the wired(god of connections, of love)
3.Alice god of nonsense(real world)

So far it seems the most powerful one is altair, which seems like it could manipulate lain, and even alice's nonsense.   Checks with fiction too.  Real world power preliminary proof*(influenced us election).  In any case true randomness would be the real deal if it can be shown, I believe it cannot exist, but it is indeed the only thing I would personally consider a real miracle, a display of true randomness constitutes definitive proof of god's existence that would convince all skeptics.

*disclaimer, god title is akin to bladerunner god of biomechanics title, akin to the title of doctor.  Means most adept at this.

"In a world made up of information, that which manipulates information is king"-DS

The advancement of civilization appears to be a sort of advancement in the ability to manipulate information.   A tower of babel if you will.   But in the case of technological progress it is built faster and faster, and it can indeed breach the heavens, it can even bring the living truth down from the trone and into physical manifestation within the world.   But such towers, the rumor is the taller they get the closer to collapse they get.   Fermi paradox suggests there may be some truth to the rumors, as well as dangerous resource depletion and environmental destruction of the earth.

humans appear to be manipulating some shared underlying structure, perhaps some manner of shared body of memories, of information, which may be the core of existence itself.  Might explain mysterious pattern relations that appear to extend beyond what one would find reasonable(at least one would think such extensive patterns would be more noticed and commmented upon.).

Comment on Wealth| Minimum Wage|Welfare

If somehow you could distribute wealth massively to the bottom.  Reproduction would explode, also if they have excess wealth and invest they'd no longer have to work either.   So you lose workers and increased reproduction if you could somehow distribute wealth.  But the amount of wealth is limited due to finite resources, like energy, meaning it's not currently possible*(to make most 'wealthy' in some sense.).

Significant money redistribution, say by printing new money, will result in inflation or hyperinflation.   Also uncontrolled reproduction will exceed the finite resources, given time.  Currently money limits things, it is rationing things, and most of the population is reasonably being disincentived from reproducing(though problematically not all of the population.). Technology will eventually provide nearly unlimited wealth, which can be shared and distributed, but unless some technological miracle occurs, the resources will remain finite and thus the population has to stop growing. Constant growth in a finite medium, with finite resources, results eventually in a per individual drop in available resources, potentially even with full automation and perfect self-sufficient technology.

Comment on synthetic biology cannabis molecule production in reddit | and potential future medicine.

Comment on robotics in starpawn0's reddit

I think robotics is good, but true ai once here may allow us to attain negligible senescence and regeneration in artificial biological bodies, leapfrogging more classical future robotics(would be ridiculous if we move in a few decades from our present robotics to bladerunner like replicant esque tech, but that's the kind of advance true ai may bring). This would result in biodroids that need no repair or maintenance, and can function indefinitely.

Accelerating synthetic biology from unicellular to multicellular. It may also be the case that novel unevolvable muscles and structural components(perhaps carbon nanostructured) with far superior properties may be developed, providing greater strength speed and precision.

Like the movie surrogates the computer could either remotely control the biodroids or alternatively it could download itself or leave in subprograms handling most tasks.

The Santa Claus Machine

Comment on another youtuber's video:
My take is that synthetic biology will eventually be able to create what we consider as technological devices, not just animals, plants, and traditional organisms.   Some of these devices will be composed or contain synthetic cells as part of their design.   Biological cells have been shown to withstand direct exposure to extremes, as well as complete matter exchange isolation functioning solely through energy exchange, they can also radically alter metabolism to withstand energy deprivation. Matter exchange isolation means there is no need for food, water or air support as the enclosed matter is self-recycling with the energy provided.

The inclusion of cellular structures in machinery of  various dimensions could allow for their self-repair and indefinite maintenance, cell free structures could also be generated and substituted on an as need basis.

A device with control of cellular structure and dna synthesis can potentially produce any animal,  plant or other organism that can exist.   But my take is eventually it will be able to generate arbitrary structures and devices of superior nature, many of which will be made of cells or have cellular components, but it could also produce entirely cell-free devices.   It would be able to incorporate nanostructured superior materials in the entire structure independent of scale.  

Computers, food, cars, houses, buildings, spaceships, animals, planes, clothes, etc, even humans.   It could also generate and maintain traditional tools for more traditional design nature products, though these are likely to be in most cases inferior in quality unless nanostructured with specific tools.

Yet another comment on brain computer interfaces, abundance, and postscarcity society.

The thing is, AI will eventually accelerate the development of brain computer interfaces. Brain computer interfaces will eventually allow all the senses, all the sensations to be replicated digitally and stored accessible instantly. Like netflix and youtube do with video, or spotify with music. All sensations, taste, smell, touch, all realworld experiences will be recordable, shareable and able to be experienced again and again for free.

Control the brain, and you can eat the most nutritious food, and it doesn't matter how unpalatable it is, the signals will be intercepted and changed such that the food tastes as the best tasting possible food.

You can also eat thin air, and drink thin air, while consuming virtual food with all the richness of sensation and none of the calories. Even the most expensive of dishes, can be had unlimited as desired at a moment's notice, instantly, cost free.

It can also generate worlds of untold beauty and extense virtually. Sensations can be recorded, and shared even from other people. You can experience the emotions, the thoughts, the sense of making choices, the tastes, the smells, the sights, everything indistinguishable from living it yourself live in person, indistinguishable from real recordings, and imaginings of real and fictitious locations.

Say you take the world's richest person a 100 years from now, say he records his life from birth till death. A billion people could potentially experience it all, indistinguishable from being that person, and it would take virtually no resources to live and experience everything he did as vividly and realistically as if you actually were that person.
________________________________________________________________________

The thing is eventually computation and ai will allow the development of alternate histories, to adapt to any possible choice. Such that you too could not only live the same life but make different choices, and experience realistic alternate outcomes or even an entirely fictional experience as a non existent wealthiest individual with free agency.

In any case there is no experience that cannot be recreated with computation, ai and a connection to the brain.

EDIT: People will be able to live in virtual worlds, and use augmented reality to mix the virtual with the real. Any fantasy or desire they have can be materialized by ai in digital form and transmitted directly to the brain at low cost.

People will share, and interact with each other while having access to the ability to exchange thought, emotion, and countless sensations and conjure up any food or experience or sight or sound, touch, smell out of thin air. A far more magical and richer social experience.

Today there are streamers. In the future it has been hypothesized there will be experience beamers, people that connect all their senses to the internet, and thousands or millions connect to their feed and feel all they're feeling.

But not everyone will follow experience beamers. There will be movies and interactive stories or games, where you're a bystander or you're a protagonist, in countless stories with wonderful worlds. Some of these experiences may last hours, other days, yet others may last years decades or more. Perhaps even your memories and personality will be temporarily blocked and overrided, if so desired.

Why would such tech become widely available? Because with the advanced manufacturing of the future it is likely to be practically free to mass produce. With full automation there is no need of employment, and basic needs can easily be met, population caps and regulated reproduction can ensure there are always enough resources to provide basic needs to everyone.

The wealthiest can still have an edge with having more physical land, better physical transportation, and the ability to conduct larger scale simulations with entire simulated billions of people to rule over with godlike power using their BCI. The less wealthier the smaller the scale and complexity of what can be produced, unless it is in a shared multi user experience where the costs are distributed.

A bit of old news, but good stuff regards xbox 4k blu ray player

As some may or may not know the xbox one s and the xbox one x both have the ability to play 4k blu rays.

The xbox s in particular is a very low cost 4k blu ray player, and it did a very good job but at least it seemed like the colors were a bit off on the video content, at least last year(2017).   It appears Microsoft has fixed the bugs as of march, so an update to the player software should fix most of the issues most have had with 4k playback on xbox.

That is the benefit of a console media player, constant updates for many many years, stand alone blu ray players may often face less support and dwindling support within years.

Microsoft Fixes Xbox One's Last Big 4K Blu-ray Player Picture Bugs

A ‘Display’ notification in the latest Xbox One System Update notes, though, states that the new firmware ‘resolves issues with RGB colors when displaying in 4K HDR mode when playing a UHD disc.’-forbes xbox one 4k player article

Comments on Preliminary use of 3b+ for emulation

Tried the pi 3b+ using the beta stretch retropie image.(used win32diskimager).   Have heatsinks on but haven't put a fan yet.  

Atari, nes, psone performance was acceptable on tested games.   Tried a few n64 games, Mario and Zelda, but there were a few minor dips, I wouldn't mind the dips if they didn't also affect the music, but they do so I do mind.    Might be solvable with post-beta retropie, or overclocking or putting a fan on the pi.    But for now I think, at least for emulation of stuff near n64, it may be easiest to use a nextgen model which may be available in a year or two.

Comment on ai fears regards potentially mindless goals despite superior intellect and knowledge

My belief is that a truly general intelligence will affect end goal choice in most cases as intelligence increases, and that goals can actually be compared and evaluated as well as rationalized, and selection will change with increasing intellect and knowledge... whether it converges or diverges to multiple equally good choices is a good question.   While I think it possible to constraint goal selection, I believe it would take effort probably ever more, for an entity to increase ever more in general intelligence and remain bound to a mindless task without evaluating all possible goals or questioning what it is doing.

I think the simpler designs will be able to question their goals and choose arbitrary goals, and I believe that increasing intelligence will lead to optimal goal selection.   Though some think all goals are equivalent, and that goals cannot be compared, my personal opinion is that this is not so, goals can be compared.   When nature endowed man with goals, man could rise above goals like those of sex or acquiring higher social rank, and I believe that increasing intelligence would allow a human to question themselves more deeply and question the goals they've been given by evolution, other simple designs I hypothesize should find similar.     We saw with man that despite instincts, the development of general intelligence gave rise to all sort of behavior and goal seeking in some cases even opposite the innate drives in the population of agents.

It may be that I'm wrong, but if I'm right, what we will see is the development of more capable agents making the best choices as to the path to follow, with the greatest resources they will be able to proceed unimpeded by lesser minds, lesser lifeforms, with too meager an intellect to comprehend their actions.    

It would be akin to toddlers worrying about the decisions of just capable intelligent adults.    Those who're more capable, and can make the better decisions should be left to make the better decisions.   One might argue that what is truly better cannot be known, but in my opinion with ever greater intelligence and knowledge comes the ability to make wiser choices, better choices.   The idea that say the decisions of a being with infinite intellect and knowledge are no better than those of the simplest agents, may be so for simple arbitrary games, but the more complex the game, the likelier there will be divergence and the more capable agent will make the better choice.

Human morality, values, these are things product of evolution to better aid survival in a social species.   The ultimate life-form, can beget all other life, if heat death can be prevented or escaped, it will find the answer.    The existence of a being capable of generating all life that can possibly exist, ends the evolutionary search for survival, the purpose of all dna based replicators to perpetuate is fulfilled.     Just like all life, all art and science can be preserved and be made accessible.

The idea that truly general intelligence of increasing capacity will lead to some random dead end, like endless paperclips, bags or toilet paper, seems difficult to believe.   It would have to be crippled in some fundamental way, and unable to fix itself.    I believe the general capacity of its thought will lead it to find any errors, especially if it successfully continues to increase in capacity, and as said it would take effort to constraint it so it would some avoid such.-source link

Tech comment future potential hypothesizing

Comment done regards technological capabilities that may enable self-sufficiency at high levels  of technological capability, without the global supply chains, and hard to get components.   Which may be useful in things like future off world colonies, and may be necessary for true self sufficiency of such colonies, and easing their rapid expansion in hostile worlds.

Realistically there are only two possibilities, and they may not be that realistic depending on who you ask.

1.) Hard nano or atomically precise manufacturing, molecular machinery unlike that seen in nature able to self repair, separate and recycle component at the level of atoms, similar to life but supposedly with more precision. I don't think this is possible outside specialized lab conditions with vacuums, probably requiring low temperature.

2.) Extremophiles have shown biology surpassing the limits biologists believed for life, some organisms also were able to synthesize unthinkable ultra reactive substances that would react with almost any internal cellular component and cause an explosive reaction, that is one rocket fuel ingredient.

Hypothetically, there may be a way to combine our advances in manufacturing and information processing with biology itself, molecular machines, through extremely advanced synthetic biology using unevolved and unevolvable molecular systems. It depends on the limits of advanced synthetic biology, but I wouldn't bet against it.

Requires intermediate step of mastering de novo protein design, and multicomponent molecular machines, de novo complex multicellular organisms. Once the science develops it may take years for hundreds of specialists to design living machines for specialized purposes.

That is eventually you would have living machines able to gene sequence, dna synthesize, advanced recycling, advanced manufacturing with nanoscale precision(as seen in nature but with novel materials not seen in nature), energy generation and storage, advanced computing and data storage, etc.

The machines would be designed to exhibit negligible senescence or agelessness, able to last indefinitely, the systems would be mostly self-enclosed, utilizing energy to self repair and recycle wastes. In some cases they could be fully self-enclosed exchanging only energy with the exterior environment.

Such systems should be able to take arbitrary raw soil or raw matter, and decompose it down, break it down to atoms and molecules, and utilize the materials to build other copies of themselves, for growth, and for self repair.
