overview for JunctionSystem

Madeline: Science denial really grinds my metaphorical gears, and Flat Earthers are some of the most egregious about it. So manhandle them into strait jackets and shove them in the damn rocket already.

Digital Rights Management. AKA the stuff that's supposed to prevent unauthorized copying and suchlike, but in practice just means the pirates have a better experience than legit customers.

[WP] 200 years have passed, and some intrepid adventurers are digging up a nuclear waste storage facility - because they want the "spent" fuel to reprocess and run a power plant on. (lemmy.world)

What niche subject do you know a lot about? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] JunctionSystem@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Just: Brain jank related to plurality (the situation of multiple people living in the same brain).

Cat: For clarity, much of it was learned through direct practical experience.

C: AGI is possible. If it weren't, we wouldn't exist. The laws of physics permit the creation of conscious agents, therefore it is possible for one to be deliberately engineered.

Just: Hey everyone, say hello to Emerald.

Emerald: ...I've had a rough forming process.

Just: She managed to un-Descartes herself, vanishing in a puff of logic. It took a couple days for her to recover.

Emily: I've changed my name. This fits better.

[WP] The ritual calls for exactly 100 sacrifices. On closer reading, it's never specified the sacrifices have to be human. So you get a petri dish full of bacteria, and sacrifice that instead. (lemmy.world)

Cat: We're the originator of this prompt concept, and it's made the rounds a few times before. Let's see how it does in the Fediverse, shall we?

This might help explain the spectacular launch of Threads in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

Looking for experiment design advice (Electroencephalogram) (lemmy.world)

Cat: So, to preface: soon we'll be ordering an ElectroEncephalogram (EEG) headset. The reason for this is because we're a plural system, and want brainwave data on what happens when we do various system stuff. Pretty obviously there's going to be some bias involved on account of who we are, but we're going to try being as objective as possible.

Just: We're definitely going to wrangle some single-threaded folk to try and get a baseline for comparison.

Just: but yeah, do folk have any advice on how to run this experiment? Also, any specific measurements you want us to do?
