Why some people are lonely? The reason for that is the divergent thinking process.

The divergent thinking process makes people feel that they are alone, even if they are in a crowded room. But what forms that thinking process? Is it negative feedback for attempts to form social relationships in childhood?  Why some people are lonely? The reason for that is that they are different, they have different values, or they have something in the past, which means they don't like the same things as other people. In some cases things like discrimination at a young age cause situations that a person will not want to discuss with other people.  If nobody discusses with the person in childhood and gives positive feedback. That causes a situation where the person will not want to begin discussions with other people. In that model, the result of the learned things is "strange behavior". If a person ever gets positive feedback from their attempts to discuss with others. That thing causes a situation where the person will not dare to start discussions or even find the c...

Quantum ghosts and other universes are ultimate combinations.

Is reality exists?  Simulated reality exists. It exists in the computer's memories that are running the computer games. Or otherwise thinking simulated reality exists in our brain. Our brain creates the imaginational worlds. And when simulated reality forms in our brains. We call that thing imagination.  The metaverse or virtual worlds that exist only in the computer's memories are tools, that prove that some kind of simulated reality is possible. And sometimes, I thought that even if we would spend all of our life in a simulation that is made by using VR glasses and data suits, we would believe that the simulated reality is real.  The data suit is a large-size system that gives simulated stimulus to the nervous system. That is like the data glove that covers the entire person. And in some visions, the BCI systems can make that kind of virtual reality by stimulating the nervous system. And that kind of thing is introduced in SciFi-movie Matrix.  Simulated reality mea...

Schrödinger's cats and computers.

Some philosophers say that the computer, or at least, the server computer is like Scrödinger's cat. That system seems to be closed because their screen is off. But behind the shell of that system, it handles information. So the type of information makes the cat or computer alive or dead. We can think that the cat is an information or information carrier.  Dead information means information that we cannot use or reach. So that is a synonym for useless information. And information that is alive means that we have access to that data, and we can use the information that we can get. If we don't know that the information carrier carries important information, that means it's dead.  When we see a cat. We think that is just a cat. And because nothing is interesting, that cat is dead. But if that cat has a USB stick on the collar. That makes the cat interesting, and it turns the cat alive.  Sometimes Schrödinger's cat is modeled as the cat that is in the box. The immune system ...

The breakthrough artificial muscles.

 The breakthrough artificial muscles. The new "silicone muscles" can give strength to a person. The system is based on a series of polymers that can system control using electricity. When electricity is conducted to that material the system will curve them. And that thing makes the muscles operate.  The description of that system goes like this: "Scientists have created thin, elastic bottlebrush polymer films that can function as artificial muscles at significantly lower voltages than currently available materials, potentially enabling their use in safer medical devices and artificial organs". (ScitechDaily.com/Flex Your Artificial Muscles: The New Low-Voltage Breakthrough) Another way to make artificial muscles is to use small silicone bags there is electrolytic material. Or there is the serpentine-looking structure in the silicone. That structure can be a protein that reacts to electricity. There could be iron in those serpentines. And that makes it possible. The ...

The honor for René Descartes: The AI Descartés

René Descartes was a 17th-century Fench philosopher. The reason why that man is described as the "father of philosophy behind artificial intelligence" is the famous quote "Cogito Ergo Sum", "I think, therefore I am". And in that moment Descartes described the idea of intelligence and existence. If a creature can think that creature exists.  So intelligence is not depending on the origin of the thinker. Intelligence doesn't mean that a thinker is even organic. Computers can think like humans. And that means if the machine thinks like a human, it's a general AI that can learn new things like humans or faster than humans.  And that thing makes it intelligent. But even if the AI turns more intelligent than humans, would that thing turn against humans? Same way when we ask questions like is Albert Einstein more dangerous than the average person because he created the Theory of relativity? The fact is that if Einstein doesn't have the tools to be dan...

ChatGPT can affect users' moral judgments.

Our brain handles AI as some Dalai Lama.  Our nervous system is unique. It's a way to handle things formed over thousands of years. And when we are facing things like the Internet and AI. Our brain uses models formed in the groups of some Homides. And some of those models are unconscious. Those unconscious models are things like the will to please leaders and methods that human uses. When an individual selects advisors.  When somebody gives advice, we are handling that thing in the same way. And our brains don't make a difference about the sources of the advice. So our brain doesn't care if the advice comes from the net or some wise man. And actually, our brain might not even recognize the difference does the advice come from a real person or an AI.  The thing is that our nervous system is formed a long time before the Internet. And that means our nervous system handles things a little bit differently than we want to believe. Thinking is much much deeper process than we b...

Boltzmann brain.

Infinity of intelligence.  Boltzmann brain, matrioshka brain, along with intelligent universe theories are thought experiments. Their purpose is to make people think about the origin of intelligence and the shapes and structures of intelligence. The intelligence can be multiple internal structures. That can act as one or multiple entireties. The most interesting version of intelligent universe theories is the model where the dimension is full of intelligent universes.  But As I wrote, those things are thought experiments. Novelist Fred Hoyle created the intelligent universe theory or thought experiment. Sometimes the intelligent universe is connected to "intelligent design". Which is the pseudoscientific theory that "proves existence the of God". The intelligent universe is a thought experiment about the limits of the size of intelligent creatures. So it's a philosophical tool, not scientific theory.  The term Boltzmann brain means some kind of structure that ri...
