I went stark-raving-mad on this public forum about neural network intelligences, and nobody shut me down for it, or compared my excited conjectures to Soylent Green!
(Yes, this actually happens. A lot. If I had a dollar for every time someone tried to mock me by comparing my interests to “Soylent Green”, when the topics are literally unrelated and incomparable, then I wouldn’t have to look for a job. I was once explaining the Boltzmann Brain Hypothesis, and someone was like “Gurrrrrl shut up; this is like Soylent Green.” Like what??)
(Also, why does everyone pick that movie?? It’s a statistical anomaly!)
Anyways, (salt aside,) I’m extremely thankful that I was given space to go off about one of my interests that I’m usually hesitant to talk about, even if I was a little off-topic.
