  I dont know enough about the hardware details of DDR5 admittedly. But it doesn’t seem improbable to architect x86_64 cpus to include a set amount.

  Yeah, you lose the ability to upgrade it, but you gain guaranteed compatibility, one less component to damage and troubleshoot. People don’t seem to complain about the integrated RAM in ARM processors .

  Wonder if we’ll getting consumer grade SoCs that are CPUs with integrated RAM.

  Yeah. I luckily got the good kind of autism where everyone calls me a genius (which anyone with above average intelligence can tell you geniusness isn’t a thing). But drives women away pretty quickly due to a “Mysterious Unlikeable Trait.”

  I mean clearly. We scheduled time to talk the following day too. She wanted a text as soon as I got up.

  Bam. Nothing. Something happened in the ~8 hours we didn’t talk that changed all that. I don’t know what. I will never know what.

  What about someone who spent 6 hours forming a strong connection with you then you literally never hear from them again?

  I had to look it up because I didn’t believe y’all.

  $755 for 64GB DDR5.

  I thought I had DDR5 but I guess it’s just DDR4 according to my motherboard.

  Mother fucker. I could have gotten it for $200 a year ago. I’m at the point where I suggest we start taking ahem excessive action against AI companies.

  Not fully, but we know it requires a minimum amount of activity in the brains of vertabrates, and at least observable in some large invertebrates.

  I’m vastly oversimplifying and I’m not an expert, but essentially all consciousness is, is an automatic processing state of all present stimulation in a creatures environment that allows it to react to new information in a probably survivable way, and allow it to react to it in the future with minor changes in the environment. Hence why you can scare an animal away from food while a threat is present, but you can’t scare away an insect.

  It appears that the frequency of activity is related to the amount of information processed and held in memory. At a certain threshold of activity, most unfiltered stimulus is retained to form what we would call consciousness - in the form of maintaining sensory awareness and at least in humans, thought awareness. Below that threshold both short term and long term memory are impaired, and no response to stimulation occurs. Basic autonomic function is maintained, but severely impacted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Expecting a LLM to become conscious, is like expecting a painting to become alive⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Agents have debated that the new phenomenon may or may not constitute a new designation. While some have reported the painting following them, the same agents will then later report nothing seems to occur. The agents who report a higher frequency of the painting following them also report a higher frequency of unexplained injury. The injuries can be attributed to cases of self harm, leading scientists to believe these SCP agents were predisposed to mental illness that was not caught during new agent screening.

  Idk. Sometimes I wonder if psychosis is preferable to reality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨its a psyop, isn't it?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to add that some people are completely unaware that they are being creepy. Others are entirely aware, and I don’t understand how they dont realize they’re gonna get got one day.

  You are a creep if:

  1. You like to get closer than you realistically should. Ask to close the distance if you were originally sitting apart, then let the other person get comfortable. If they adjust their distance, don’t get any fucking closer than that.

  2. There are a lot of things you might want to say sober, but don’t. Probably a good idea to pay attention to these things if you have liquor in your system and notice when you no longer have control over that. If you don’t notice, maybe it’s better not to drink and rethink your life.

  3. Don’t fucking grab, sniff, tickle, or seductively eye the other person. Just don’t. Grow up.

  4. Don’t go diving through their social media like you need to learn all about them before you meet. Chances are they know exactly what is public, and they intend that public information to be a different person than they really are.

  5. If you don’t know something about them, ask. If they don’t give you an answer, stop fucking asking. God. They don’t want to tell you.

  6. If it involves sex, and you’re in public, don’t talk about it. That’s creepy.

  7. If you ever receive a inconclusive answer, that’s a hint to back the fuck off that discussion.

  There’s too much to list, but those are like a bunch I’ve seen.
