- Comment on Multiple arrests in county lines drugs crackdown 1 week ago:
Activity took place across the country between 2 and 8 March as part of a co-ordinated effort to disrupt organised crime groups and county lines drug dealing.
Which will make no dent whatsoever in the availability of drugs while costing the tax payer plenty. Why not legalise and regulate all drugs and remove the funding stream for the gangs.

I’d recommend this excellent series if you want a good grounding:

And I also found this video which I haven’t watched but I expect will be good and probably attacks your pondering more directly:

Hence, the Orch OR model is not a feasible explanation of the origin of consciousness.
One paper claiming that the Orch OR model is not a feasible explanation of the origin of consciousness does not mean that the Orch OR model is not a feasible explanation of the origin of consciousness.
it seems my memory is better than yours
I’m not sure why you think my memory is in any way relevant.
Published 13 August, 2009
There’s a significant journey from being published in a paper to being taught in classes. I was taught Orch OR somewhere between 2008 and 2010 so there’s no reason to think memory comes into it.

Then you were also taught that there was no way the brain could maintain sustained quantum entanglement
No. I’ve no idea what could have possibly brought you to that conclusion.
Please don’t try to tell me what brought you to that conclusion while multitasking. For that matter, please don’t try to tell me at all.

Which is why I said hypothetically…
I think you may have misused the word “hypothetically” then.
up until a year ago the very idea that quantum entanglement could happen in the brain was treated as a joke for like 30 years
I was taught Orch OR theory at university about 17 years ago.
that’s why the larger theory was instantly dismissed
Instantly dismissed by who? It’s a new theory, there will always be detractors and critics of new theories. That’s very different from being “instantly dismissed”.
- Comment on Quantum teleportation demonstrated over existing fiber networks — Deutsche Telekom’s T‑Labs used commercially available Qunnect hardware for the demo, claims 90% average accuracy 4 weeks ago:
what actually makes consciousness in a brain is (hypothetically, technically) microtubules
This is only a proposed theory, it’s very far from accepted fact.

when we observe them they will always be in the same state
The two particles are in different but directly related states. For example in some circunstances with two entangled photons, it will necessarily be the case that one photon has horizontal polarisation and the other vertical polarisation. The two will never have the same polarisation.
You can’t know which photon is in which state without measuring one. The effect of taking the measurement travels faster than the speed of light. Measurement is not modifying though; you can’t say “I want this photon to be measured as vertically polarised”, you can only ask “what is the polarisation of this photon?”. So you can’t transmit information faster than light, unfortunately.

For the first time, you’d need a subscription to watch “free-to-air” UK TV.
Umm… you need a subscription now. It’s called a “TV License”.
“no longer a universal service”
You have to pay to receive it and there are people who don’t pay so it isn’t “universal” right now.

Are you able to explain succinctly what you mean by “selected” so that we can communicate?
- Comment on Emergent introspective awareness in large language models 4 months ago:
selected
What do you mean by that? What does it mean to “select” something in the context of a neural net with input nodes and output nodes?
the model was planning
How have you come to that conclusion?

This is criminal fleecing. “Our game which you bought was shit so we fixed it, now pay us for it again.” How is it proprietary gamers put up with this shit? They just keep throwing their money at proprietary games publishers even as the publishers are abusing the gamers and laughing all the way to the bank. It’s nuts.
