Is AI good 4 U? 

After watching @DaveShap video, I was feeling relieved. Then I saw @technews10000 about Microsoft’s AI Agent that I hope they were trying to convince us not to use it. After that I saw @HighTch9 about quantum computer updates, how they might be good for AI systems. I finished with @pbsspacetime about how consciousness is caused by quantum processes. Before the end of the video, they say something…

Thinking about how we discovered low frequency gravitational waves, well, everywhere. It's almost like there is a grander ebb and flow to the universe, and that it is all, literally, connected. Something so profound and persistent surely wouldn't affect us humans... But what if it does?

Thinking about Multiples, Systems, people made of parts that live in one whole.

I present to you, a slam poem.

COSMIC MUSINGS INSPIRED BY THE BODY

This body. So tiny and silly. Responding violently. To a word.

A word that feels like a necklace we can never take off, all we can do is cough under our breaths with every misperception of our misrepresentation,

because although the body looks feminine I am just more slender than your average man, and unlike those with a true pair of bollocks, my voice is trapped under rocks.

Dirt. Debris.

Nothing more than six feet deep.

It should be easy to vocalize and correct, but when there's several of us in the head, it's hard to reply, because-in real time- what is a lie? and what could be The truth?

Whats the real root of the situation at hand? How can I give someone such a clean cut answer when I have to think about things for macroseconds?

It doesn't seem fair. The way time is linear. But not at all. That's just our survival perception. In truth, time is very dynamic, and is happening in a different field for everyone.

We live and we relive precious moments of our lives. Every hardship every demise. It can seem like we've forgotten every lullaby. But we haven't.

The neural network exists, and it's a beautiful collection of every decision you've ever made. 

See the brain is a glorious, holy, functioning -dead- thing. The brain IS the universe. The brain IS the soup. YOU are just the 10% of your brain that contributes to being alive.

But remember some of our earlier poems? When we talked about the line between alive and non-living? What about Where we talked about cells and organelles? How about when we got cosmic about the micro and macro properties of our universe?  Well. Bear with us for a second, and continue to for the seconds passed, because we are about to Horton Hears A Who your ass.

The universe is grander, more complex, holds more information than we could ever hope to see. Or understand. Or even grasp for straws at. 

So let's start zoomed in. The idea of colonies of life inside our bodies. There are miniature beings in your bodies that make decisions based on the very limited amount of information they have access to. They compile. Compound. Combine. They might not all be alive. But they build. To create you. 

Let's look at massive infrastructures of ant colonies. Or perhaps fungi underneath deep in jungle forestrys. tiny networks of very big things. 

Now let's pull back and look at cycles, like the weather. Something not alive, maybe for the better. But changes and acts and is unpredictably out of control. So fluid and dynamic, affected by us and things bigger than us. Collections and masses of fuems and green house gasses. Immense amounts of pressure changing the atmosphere around us.  

Let's looks at the way we orbit the sun, how about the pathways we take as our galaxy orbits another? Or another? Or another?

Life as we know it. 

The galaxy as we know it. 

If we zoomed out far enough. 

And I mean really really , really, *really* REALLY fuckin far

We would realize that we are all apart of the same being. 

The universe is just one big brain. 

Dark matter might just be a gaseous form of brain tissue matter. 

And we might be a part of a grander, larger, absolutely incomprehensible, machine, entity, God. Whatever. Something so much more than us that we are the things that make up it. 

I long for the day humans say with confidence:

We are the microscopic bacteria in our bodies. 

We are the ant colonies.

We are the stars.

We are the moon.

We are the sun.

We are all individual neurons 

Firing our own paths

So the larger sea can survive. 

That is the meaning of life

To realize you are only a small part of a whole

We as humans are too limited. 

We don't have the organs

Just like ants 

With our tiny meat suits

But massive minds.

Was the Gravitational Wave Background Finally Discovered?!?

[…] Sign Up on Patreon to get access to the Space Time Discord! / pbsspacetime A few weeks ago a large team of gravitational wave astronomers announced something pretty wild. The moderately confident detection of pervasive ripples in the fabric of space time that presumably fills the cosmos, detected by watching for subtle connections between the signals from rapidly spinning cores of dead stars…

Does Space Emerge From A Holographic Boundary? Check out the Space Time Merch Store https://ift.tt/nFxpIHf Sign Up on Patreon to get access to the Space Time Discord! https://ift.tt/aHEU4Is Space seems fundamental. To build a universe, surely you need something to build it on or in. Many, maybe most physicists now think that the fabric of space emerges from something deeper. And perhaps the most existentially disturbing such proposal is that our 3-D universe is just the inward projection of an infinitely distant boundary. A hologram, or sorts. Let’s see how that can actually work, and what the holographic principle really says about the “realness” of this universe.

Space Question

If you could hear in space, and two black holes collided, what sound would it make?  Doink?  Splish?  Or more of an "owie owie owie"?  Maybe a "Excuse me, I'm walking here!" with a Brooklyn accent.

Liked on YouTube: What If The Speed of Light is NOT CONSTANT? || https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw8b9YV0EPA || PBS Member Stations rely on viewers like you. To support your local station, go to: https://ift.tt/vso9Mtc Sign Up on Patreon to get access to the Space Time Discord! https://ift.tt/U7Ny6un One of the most fundamental physics facts is that the speed of light in a vacuum is constant for all observers. But can we really be sure that the speed of light wasn’t different in the past, or perhaps in other parts of the universe? In fact, variable speed of light theories have long been used to try to explain everything from dark energy to gravity itself. Let’s explore how constant this fundamental constant really is.

If you’re interested in learning more about our galaxy and just general space stuffs I highly recommend watching PBS SpaceTime on YouTube. They have tons of content by actual Astro physicists that is often explained in a way that makes it easier to understand. My husband uses it to fall alseep but I’m often left listening and having my mind blown.
