Cremieux is the pen name of reddit user u/TrannyPornO just read some of his comments.

Some form of prediction being used by the higher-level neurons doesn't make the brain a prediction engine.

The brain is not predicting it's compressing.

Nobody said that. I am sick of the false dichotomy of being given only two choices:

a) It's magic

b) It's akin to our latest discovery

If it's continious then nothing is emerging and it can be explained by the sum of it's sub-systems.

> Of course it's just statistics, but so are we.

Where is this coming from?

> Do you see?

Emergence can only be discontinuous.

Thanks for sharing! In the 1st example ["computer nerds", "hackernews", "geeky", "computer tones"] seem to make the result sound more like an old-school RPG soundtrack rather than a song.

I still cant believe people voluntarily scanned their fucking eyeballs!

You think privacy has no value?

I blame Substack.
