Yes

Sturgeon’s law really does apply. It applies to doctors, plumbers, therapists, programmers, managers, x.

There really is too much stupidity in the world. “Obviously”.

Learning to ignore it is an easy but reasonable response. Accepting it however, and learning that most stupidity can be dispelled with a bit of guidance is much harder.

You can get there if you aren’t stupid. :)

I am my species, and so is each one of us.

Marble flooring in homes is quite common in India.

Hahaha, I can imagine a buttoned up exec channeling jobs brandishing "the lump" on stage at one of their events. And he is saying: This is the best "lump" we've ever made. 20% Lumpier than the previous generation, 30% lighter, with a brand new crazonium body with a ferrite core!

Yep, it looks like a knockoff.

I can never see these illusions :/ Only the bulge works. Movement I can’t see at all.

Am I supposed to look at it a certain way? I tried at different distances. I’ve tried using larger screens. Nothing..

Oh wow, this suddenly became so heated! Is the gun made of # or _? Or it has to be both?

Ok I see your point. Did you look at the output in the challenge? It's very different. I wonder why? Different seeds maybe.

Ok, but it's still acceptable by any common sense standard. Besides the challenge's output is completely off. Not just that it's using just one of the characters. It spells out something else. Which is not the case here.

The challenge is flawed.

I asked one of the questions from the quiz to chatgpt which the quiz claims GPT can't solve. But it did.

Prompt: Write out the word "hello" as an ascii art drawing with # and _

Output:

      _   _      _ _
     | | | |    | | |
     | |_| | ___| | | ___
     |  _  |/ _ \ | |/ _ \
     | | | |  __/ | | (_) |
     \_| |_/\___|_|_|\___/

I guess chatgpt isn't raw GPT-4, or the quiz is using some older model.

Doesn't it flatten all behavior and not just impropriety?

Yes but resolution and coherence matters. A map that says "here be dragons" is not high resolution. A map that misidentifies or misses parts is incoherent. The brain is not physical (as explained above), and cannot be captured in a sufficiently high resolution map that only studies substance and its interactions. Since we have no access to the formwork, we will always have missing data, that hampers our ability to create such a coherent map.

Thank you for staying engaged, it's helping me see my position more clearly.

> While there are no specific equations that fully capture the intricacies of the brain's function..

That.
