It’s the only driver that can render Cthulu.

Don’t worry about, super magic AGI will solve all problems. Sam Altman said so.

Underrated comment. However, it’s never lupus.

just add AI, they will be functional beyond the intelligence of eliezer yudkowsky. Ah sorry, that means they will have negative intelligence…

He is desperate that people regard him as a deep and serious thinker. The trouble is, no interesting thought has ever crossed his mind. This is the reason for his pathetic hatred of academics. His university professors rightly saw a useless dweeb with an outrageous sense of self regard.

Just 30 years away! Like it was 30 years ago.

Untestable universes is not a rejoinder to “stop thinking” it’s just another way to achieve it

The “solutions” are not out of reach. Just do the experiment more than once, like any statistical theory.

The moon thing: yes because it was hard to get to, not impossible in principle. If the moon was in a parallel universe your analogy wouldn’t be irrelevant.

It wouldn’t work, even in principle. They want to force you to live by their lunacy. It would be totally pointless if they couldn’t exert power over the unwilling.

“It’s not as pop-sci as painted” anyway here’s some pop-sci to justify it…

The reply to the energy problem is hilarious. These universes that differ by a single quantum event have radically different energy totals. Science!

Great answer, but it unfortunately is taken seriously. The reason is because it is an “end of the road” hypothesis. It tells you all the weirdness is fundamental and no further thought is required. Just like good old Copenhagen. The unfalsifiability is a virtue here, it’s a complete explanatin without the messy testing. Now stop thinking, shut up, and calculate.

If we sufficiently torture the word “simplest”.

It’s stronger than a classical one, yes. But Einstein’s description is mocking the idea of entanglement as an active link that allows distant states to be changed by local actions.

I have never felt more autistic. Do people really need to lick fire to know it will hurt?

Positrons don’t move backwards in time in any physical sense. Their mathematical representation is like an electron with a negative time coordinate but this is physically dubious because it fails in curved spacetimes. Electron-positron pairs are entangled because they are correlated by the process that created the pair. Entanglement is just a correlation, not some magical link.
