Is the universe still contiguous with all of itself even though information is disappearing at any given point in it, given sufficient distance, between intergalactic objects via the cosmic expansion?

Type 1 is not the result of a life style issue, is it?

That will probably be a wide discussion, going forward, on dealing with similar cases in the future. Probably, the main problem is that the person is high impact and institutionally powerful, and that's why it took that long to discover. A bit like the emerging corruption in amongst some of the Supreme Court judges.... nobody is looking over their shoulder. Reverence of such lofty individuals needs to be expelled and for them to be seen in more realistic terms by acknowledging that everyone is fallible to deception and corruption.

Found something similar to what I read before:

Peer review is seen to be working. It seems a bit naive to think that ones deception won't be noticed in the long term.

Should have put 'LLMs' not 'LLCs'. Large Language Models.

There's also the problem of avoiding the appearance of victimizing said cohort when trying to address this publicly.. I see a few comments in Quora of people disgusted that such 'personal' topics were being openly discussed. I was looking into the proportions of overweight police officers and why things were this way, the culture, lack of routine health oversight, work conditions etc. US police unions are an obstacle as well, apparently, to any major reforms.

Owning AI LLCs looks like a model that won't prevail. Meta had its system leaked and that appears to be the one that's going to dominate in the near term as knowledgeable users expand its capabilities. Opensource seems to be the future and Google, MS et al will have to find new ways to monetize it in that environment. The Google engineer who wrote the article says no company can hope to outcompete a decentralized setup that is free to use by anyone. You know alot more about this stuff than I do, but I suppose it will be somewhat an Android-type ecosystem. Meta may well be the gatekeeper, seeing as early adopters are running away from the closed, private, paid for systems to make it the de facto public system. The article is lost for the moment, so no link yet.

Anecdotally, friends who have been over there say there is a lot of very overweight people your side. The UK isn't great either these days, but Americans top the overweight podium, it seems.

'All classifications are arbitrary' is an immutable fact. Humans decide what is what. Classifying is what we do to turn the continuum of natural phenomena into discrete concepts that we can share with other humans. All of our concepts and associations are constructed. You have been here long enough to know that facts evolve over time in scientific research. This subject is no different.

Aye, it's the successful that write the history books.

If they are deceased, there isn't much other options. I just see it as a new-fangled form of TV or film (movies) that increases the sensory experience of someone being present.

ABBA's ABBAtars may foretell differently.

One is based on folklore, geared to relieving symptoms, and the other one on science.

"Ladeez and gentlemen... please welcome SimOne!"

OK.

We are 'old'. We have spent our lives adapting to change and a lot us don't want to do that any more... it's a problem for the young uns. A new, naive mind will just adapt to the circumstances it finds by default, with no awareness of history to refute it, like we often do. There appears to be a periodic, collective amnesia with each successive generation.

If only one impulse can travel at a time, that would make our experience a series with discrete elements. An impulse can be generated 5-50 times a second. We do have latency gaps in our senses, so it's not smooth and continuous, like analogue. I'm only putting this here hypothetically, but that doesn't suggest quantum fuzziness in the emergence of sensations. I'm not saying quantum uncertainty doesn't exist in biological systems, of course it does, but is it necessary to explain experiential sensations? Might it not be going 'too deep', so to speak? Analogously, we don't need to know the fundamental physical properties of our cutlery in order to eat with them. "How I hate those little slices of death we call sleep" - Voltaire

Do we need quantum information, which, I think, is more fundamental than the electrochemical potential between atoms and molecules?

Narcissist par excellence.

The people that are alive today, will die, and a new generation will be born, ignorant of the issues. AI commences unimpeded. It's back to the "new-fangled weavers" and Luddites. Once you know something, you can't unknow it.

Lie Algebra was ajb's area of interest, wasn't it?

A substance is not acid or alkaline until the ions they contain dissociate. The OH-/H+ ions need to be free to move around and interact to express it. If they are tied up in a crystal lattice, they can't do much.

'Behaviour' looks French, so the 'u'.
