It's not a simulation. It's a physical reality.

You just experience it as a simulation in your mind.

Because only a simulation can be conscious.

Physical reality can't be.
Maybe I don't have control of anything; Maybe the world does not spin because I want it to spin-

Neither will we be replaced by robot artists, nor is arts "trivial."

Art is simply the ability to capture conscious states of your mind.

Anyone can be an artist. Everyone is. It's easy to be one.

Real question is what one considers to be art.
My life does not need one more tech-douche explaining why, actually, the arts are trivial and we "should" be replaced by robot artists.

Sincerely, with my whole heart, fuck you. While you play games we wrote, read books we wrote, watch TV and movies we wrote, Fuck You.

Wrote a short post on how twitter is subjecting your mind to algorithm induced hypnosis.

"Engineers can authorize new collective norms and upgrade them to collective illusions."

1. health insurance - to cover medical emergencies
2. term insurance - one-time payout to your family in case of your death
3. job insurance - to cover you in case of layoffs or any job termination other than incompetence

4. a legal insurance instrument for retail buyers, next?

I want more people to worry about building agency in machines, and not just intelligence.
