Yes, quantum scale has macro effect, but the macro scale is predictable and rigidly causal, negating any meaningful quantum scale interactional impact. A macro causation effected via quantum interactions is a de facto macro interaction.

I don’t mean that any given magnetic field is unchanging, I mean that the principles are stable and well-understood. We never see magnetic fields just randomly change with no reason or else navigation and all kinds of other technologies would be fucked forever.


Explain please?


So you’re hung up on the phrasing “physical forces” not appearing in a textbook?


I’m not making shit up as I go. If you don’t understand something, it isn’t consequently nonsensical.

I mean there’s no way to go from immeasurable to measurable except in scale, and anywhere north of quantum scale, physics has been reliably predictable and measurable. Ghosts’ purported impact is on a scale well above that which is unexplained.


Magnetism is a physical force, like gravity. Measurable and consistent.


Science has never in the history of science reliably shown a single interaction between physical entities and any sort of non-physical force. The only way ghosts could be real is if you redefined the term “ghost” to the point of breaking, like saying that the memory of a person is a ghost.
Plus, it fails the smell test in a million ways. What makes a ghost exist? Why aren’t we positively lousy with ghosts? Are there rules? What would they be and what mechanism is there to both quantify and effect them? Why do ghosts follow the rotation and revolution of the earth but otherwise aren’t physically bound? How can one have any sort of cognition? If a ghost does, how can it perceive anything without intercepting photons or other physical phenomena? If there are ghosts and somehow they have cognition and perception, are we obligated to leave Netflix on when we leave for work?


I would leave a flaming wreck too.


You know I was just thinking that what OpenAI needs to really succeed is someone who knows how to haphazardly throw together a wildly irresponsible, insecure, and unsafe tool that gets really popular really quickly.


The only thing quiet about it has been the avoidance of the word “annex”.
That cat looks young enough there might be a couple spuds still there.
Same movie but it gives you ball cancer.
J/k. I think it’s just cast and production info.
Obligatory fuck Amazon, fuck Bezos

Tesla’s KPIs aren’t selling good cars or making customers happy. There’s only one, and it’s making money for investors. It’s never been worth anything close to its valuation. It’s just a tool (run by a tool) for tools to get rich on.


I mean they’re owned by deeply enshittified supporters of genocide, but gosh their games are pretty fun.


I think that’s a great analysis. There is a sort of bleak optimism in that the course they take is one that ends in tears, but still accomplishes some good and establishes a foothold in the new order to come, for better or worse. A lot to unpack there. Thanks!


Yes, quite good. But it’s like From Dusk Till Dawn in that it feels very much like two completely different movies smashed together.
Don’t worry, the resulting class action lawsuit will make them atone for their crimes. Expect your $1.17 Venmo payment in 9-27 months.
