A brain itself doesn’t feel physical pain. That requires a nervous system and pain receptors of which the brain has none. Brain surgery is done with only local anesthesia for the skin and scalp.
We also know that braindead people don’t suddenly start creating brain waves even if the body gets mechanical resparation and pulse. It’s quite literally “off”. So, I guess the creation of a dead brain won’t feel anything or start thinking about anything by itself.
The question is what inputs they give these artificial brains. It’ll think that, and that will be it’s “sensory” input. Whether that can cause some emergent brain waves that could be interpreted as emotion or other stuff is impossible to say. I doubt it.

It’s really a question of whether you have electric heating or a furnace or district heating.
It’s not common to have more than one heat exchanger for hot water if you have a furnace or district heating.
Electrical is much easier. You can just place them anywhere and they don’t cost as much to install. However, electricity is usually more expensive than district heating.

I’m fine, thank you for your concern.
It is by all means a humourous shitpost. The last line in my post is a pun on the rap song 99 problems, which should be the give away.

Pretty nice until the day inevitably comes where one of the RFID chips malfunctions and the fridge keeps insisting that you throw out something that isn’t there and you can’t reset the inventory without downloading an update from some company that doesn’t exist anymore using a profile that your ex has the password for.
Then you’ll wonder why you didn’t use to have these sorts of issues, and your kids will ask how you updated the fridge in your childhood. As an adult you are expected to know this stuff. With your authority being undermined like that they’ll stop listening to anything you say and start smoking crack after school. Now you have a malfunctioning fridge and junkie children. Thanks a lot, dad.

However you probably don’t miss the manual choke valve, double clutching, hand winded starter crank, or even window cranks.
There was really no golden period of car controls. It went fluidly from one kind of shit to another kind of shit.
- Comment on Hundreds of public figures, including Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and Virgin’s Richard Branson urge AI ‘superintelligence’ ban 5 weeks ago:
I’m not really scared of AI becoming more intelligent. I’m more concerned about stupid people giving control to stupid AI. It’s plenty capable of fucking things up as it is provided it is given access to do so.

Two beggars are sitting side by side on a street in Rome.
One has a cross in front of him; the other one the Star of David. Many people go by and look at both beggars, but only put money into the hat of the beggar sitting behind the cross.
A priest comes by, stops and watches throngs of people giving money to the beggar behind the cross, but none give to the beggar behind the Star of David.
Finally, the priest goes over to the beggar behind the Star of David and says, “My poor fellow, don’t you understand? This is a Catholic country; this city is the seat of Catholicism. People aren’t going to give you money if you sit there with a Star of David in front of you, especially when you’re sitting beside a beggar who has a cross. In fact, they would probably give to him just out of spite.”
The beggar behind the Star of David listened to the priest, turned to the other beggar with the cross and said: “Moishe, look who’s trying to teach the Goldstein brothers about marketing.”

- Comment on IT'S A TRAP 1 month ago:
It’s more about set theory than the actual numbers.
Let’s say you have 100 people with everyone tied up across both tracks. Heads on one track and legs on the other. Let’s assume they die if the train touches any part of them, but you still need to choose bet running over heads or legs.
The best choice is then legs, because there’s a probability of some of them being handicapped and not having legs.

The real numbers also includes the integers.
The practical consequence of this example is that the integers die regardless of what you choose.
However infinitely many people will survive if you choose the first option.
