<p>Dude is pitching and wanting funding for THEIR solution from the vids I saw, not a general industry change or free fix.<p>Also their AI upscaling makes it look like the guy is wearing foundation and makes it hard to take seriously lol.</p>

<p>Most people don't need 3 monitors. Pretty much everyone needs or has a fridge except for the least fortunate in society. He said most people, so u just fall in the much, much smaller minority with a bit of a questionable claim. Like, If u had to give up one, it'd be your fridge over monitors? Utility of the monitors runs out when u have to spend time getting fresh ingredients every other day.</p>

<p>That sounds either really difficult to make and maintain or an absolutely fridge industry destroying innovation. Given weather and stuff I fear the first. Sick idea tho.  I know nothing of fridge engineering besides basics so could be way off.</p>

<p>Yeah I guess I've had only a few people be the other person that treated me right as the 1 - I feel ya on being an outsider having things dismissed. Does make sense. Another person gave me a good alternate view as well.<p>On a side note my couple of times I thought I was treating someone to some great knowledge they should already know I'm pretty sure I came across as condescending. Not bc they didn't know it - i always aim to be super polite - just being young, stupid, and bad at communicating, heh.</p>

<p>Ah okay that's a good read. I'm just always on edge about my language and sometimes view the worst possible interpretation rather than what most would read. I'm not a negative person... just goes back to some "protecting myself" instincts I unfortunately had to develop. Thanks for that view.</p>

<p>I agree. You could say temporal distance out of sight squared = amount out of mind.<p>(I know that's not the real inverse square equation just having fun)</p>

<p>It could be argued by the religious that in some cases they did manifest(according to their beliefs), and there's actually an excess of copies of the rules if considering the amounts of the Quran or Bible printed.</p>

<p>Am I the only one that always felt like that xkcd post came from a place of insane intellectual elitism?<p>I teach multiple things online and in person... language like that seems like a great to lose a student. I'd quit as a student, it's so condescending sounding. It's only lucky because you get to flex ur knowledge!(jk, pushing it I know lol but i can def see it being taken that way)<p>Keep in mind I know you're just having fun.</p>

<p>I feel the jump from "reading the internet" to experience has a gap in reasoning. I'm not experienced in philosophy or* logic enough(no matter how much <i>I</i> read, heh) to articulate it, but seems to get at the person's idea of lacking street smarts, common sense. An adult with basic common sense could probably filter out false information quicker since I can get Claude to tell me false info regularly(I still like em, pretty entertaining) which has not only factual but contradictory flaws any person wouldn't make. Like recently I had two pieces of data, then when comparing them it was blatently incorrectly(they were very close, but claude said one was 8x bigger for... idk why.)<p>Another commenter also mentioned sensory input when talking about the brown rat. As someone who is constantly fascinated at the brains ability to reason/process stuff before I'm even conscious of it, I feel this Stat is Underrated. I'm taking in and monitoring like 15 sensations of touch at all time. Something entering my visual field coming towards me can be deflected in half a second all while still understanding the rest of my surroundings, and where it might be safe to deflect an object. The brain is constantly calculating depth perception and stereo location on every image and sound we hear - also with the ability to screen out the junk or alter our perception accurately(knowing the correct color of items regardless of diff in color temp).<p>I do concede that's a heck of a lot of video data. It does have similar issues to what I said(lacks touch, often no real stereo location, good greenscreen might convince an AI of something a person intuitively knows is impossible) but the scale alone certainly adds a lot. That could potentially make up for what I see as a hugely overlooked thing as far as stimulus. I am monitoring and adjusting like, hundreds of parameters a second subconsciously. Like everything in my visual field. I don't think it can be quantified accurately how many things we consciously and subconsciously process, but I have the feeling it's a staggering amount.</p>

<p>I feel they must know the difference(and anyone would assume that) but will answer you in good faith.<p>I can listen to songs in their entirety in my head and it's nearly as satisfying as actually hearing. I can turn it down halfway thru and still be in sync 30 sec later.<p>That's not to flex only to illustrate how similarly I experience the real and imagined phenomena. I can't stop the song once it's started sometimes. It feels that real.<p>My voice sounds exactly how I want it to when I speak 99% of the time unless I unexpectedly need to clear my throat. Professional singers can obviously choose the note they want to produce, and do it accurately. I find it odd your own voice is unpredictable to you. Perhaps - and I mean no insult - you don't 'hear' your thought in the same way.<p>Edit I feel it's only fair to add I'm hypermnesiac and can watch my first day of kindergarten like a video. That's why I can listen to whole songs in my head.</p>
