Make our brains FOSS! Why can’t I just tell my brain that now is sleeping time and it will just sleep?!
You don’t own your brain, you are the brain. Your conciousness is literally a process of the brain’s proprietary code.
Your conciousness is literally a process of the brain’s proprietary code.
It’s a likely hypothesis but we don’t know that for sure. There’s zero evidence of consciousness outside of your subjective experience of it. We don’t know what it is and how it emerges.
But can it run Doom?
And it’s always listening to what I’m doing lol
Found the transhumanist.
I can soft mod my brain with chemicals. 🤷🏻♂️
But, they are not compatible with other modules of your body.
Brb bout to sideload a 2 day subscription of LSD.
Wouldnt it be more like exploiting a bug?
No way, its right there in the documentation.
“cannot modify it” absolumment pas vrai
Puedes hacer muchas cosas con tu cerebro si quieres.
I feel a porke no los dos.jpg is the right tjing to poste here, men vad vet jag, rien du tout.
So is richtig.
Genau!
I just want the user guide to be honest
Sadly, it’s paywalled behind a 200k med degree. Even then, there is a lot of inconsistent or missing documentation.
Can’t modify it? Watch me.
grabs shotgun
You actually can modify your “software”, though there’s limits. Can’t really swap the kernel at all, and the OS is a bitch to alter, but the DE is totally doable. We even have bug fixers, called therapists.
Now, deleting old programs is hard, but there are tricks to reset your clock, assuming the hardware is both functional and running a standard configuration. Some folks are just wired different, so playing with the clock results in blue screens at inopportune moments.
This except the “software” you’re patching is actually hardware.
Oddly enough, a not insubstantial amount of our runtime is done in the peripherals.
Meanwhile we have many subroutines running in each cell with dedicated hardware and compute, and even these can be edited to some degree through psychological means as well as nutrition and exercise.
This is exactly what needs to be said. Thank you!
When I did my 4 years of attachment therapy, and I gave it everything I had, I could literally feel the structure of my brain changing.
Not thought patterns changing (which they did) I’m talking about the actual physical structure of my brain. New pathways were forged and old ones closed forever. It very much reminded me of how I could feel my brain developing when I was teaching myself to program at the age of 13-16… and thinking so hard that my brain felt like it was literally overheating.
It’s a crazy experience to have as a human - to literally not be able to construct old thought, or emotion frameworks, because the physical structure required for them doesn’t exist anymore. To have memories reduced to “that happened” while no longer being able to recall any relevant details.
What does it even mean to say “I own my brain”? What is this “I” that’s doing the owning?
From my point of view it just seems like brain exists and that brain is having a subjective experience. The sense of self is just one of those experiences. It’s not real - there’s no self located within the brain. Atleast not that we know of.
Sorry, legacy code and technical debt. Please check in with us in ~2000 years or so, we might have the next minor bugfix version up by then.
Patch notes
- fixed that one bug
- added 99 new bugs
🎶 One hundred and ninety nine bugs in the code, one hundred and ninety nine bugs! 🎶
🎶 *You take one down, patch it around, six hundred and forty-eight bugs in the code!*🎶
Looks back at the mountain of dead equipment that was used, tested, built, redesigned, failed or didn’t function in order to get to this point
Patch Notes: Fixed a memory leak. But that caused the sleep Guage to overflow back to 0 constantly. Waiting for the next software upgrade in 10,000 years to fix it.
memory leak
i fw that heavily
It’s also accurate in that I’m about to drop it off an 8 story building cause it won’t fucking work right
Are you okay, friend?
There’s a JTAG port in the base of the cortex for pushing firmware updates. Problem is, we lost the signing keys back in the neolithic. Thag got crushed by a mammoth before we had a chance to invent written language and write documentation.
You can train it but it requires a lot of boring manual entries and the model may deviate if you ever stop.
Same with programming it lol
you own it but also can’t really modify it
Lemme introduction you to my friends: drugs, TBIs, and dementia
Dementia is just planned obsolescence
