Commentators counter with metrics like energy efficiency and consciousness.
transhumanism is an interesting side quest but 'the substrate is wrong' for the human/computer hybrid to be competitive with machine intelligence on feats of intellect. you have this low tech meat brain in the middle of all this lightspeed machinery, doing what exactly?
Positive users express enthusiasm for transhumanism and pure machine intelligence over hybrids, while negative users strongly criticize the views for underestimating biology and insult proponents as enemies of humanity.

man even smart people are unable to extrapolate lines and see where this is all going. the world is not even close to AGI pilled enough
imagine needing brownout-level quantities of energy to run a model trained on all written human text that struggles to match the problem-solving ability of a bee, and to still think a biological substrate is inferior.
@aidan_mclau I guess so but imo the Claude’s and GPTs are functionally mind uploads - and insofar as we don’t believe in their consciousness we will struggle to believe in our uploads’ consciousness
@tszzl is uploading transhumanist ?
@tszzl verifiable consciousness

@tszzl Now compare thoughts / joule

@tszzl Low tech?
Bruh tell me you dont know biology without saying it looool
The human brain is currently the most complex object in the known universe and can run full consciousness off 100 watts via a dorito.
imagine if we had legitimate, instead of shit, levels of hybrid
imagine needing brownout-level quantities of energy to run a model trained on all written human text that struggles to match the problem-solving ability of a bee, and to still think a biological substrate is inferior.
@tszzl Yeah if intelligence is all there is then sure

I quite agree.

@tszzl the meat brain is thousands of years more advanced than all of your silicon machines combined. We went back in time and genetically engineered our ancestors to have abilities you can't even begin to comprehend. surfing timelines a fucking up dystopias is so fucking delicious
@tszzl vibing

@tszzl The meat brain will be the canary in the coal mine of alignment. If it starts suffering or going mad, the whole system is already misaligned
@Allsdolllapp what’s the point of a factory?
@tszzl What's the point of the lightspeed machinery without the meat brain?
@tszzl I am agi pilled king. I’m ready. But look all I want is a robot to do my dishes and laundry.
@tszzl Worst take ever.machines are no where near the dophistixation of human brains which are no where near the sophistication of humsn minds. Unfollowing you and muting for the low researched takes that are a n embarrassment to openAI.
@tszzl Phenomenal binding is the computational superpower of biological minds. Binding gives access to the universe of mind and the empirical realm. The empirical realm is inaccessible to digital zombies. AI ignorance of mind is hardwired. How do we do it? See: https://www.hedweb.com/quora/2015.html#quantummind
@tszzl Producing something for the experience of the meat brain. If we produce it for the machinery experience we have to ask ourselves what's so good about the machine experience that invalidates the meat brains experience.

I. What Flesh Does that Silicon Can’t Your quip frames intellect as a race of clock cycles.
Yet insight is not mere throughput; it is comprehension steeped in sensation.
A “low-tech meat brain” can sob, ache, smell rain on asphalt— context richer than any vector embedding.
II. Latency vs. Ligament
Yes, myelinated axons crawl compared with wave-guide photons.
But they interlace with hormones, fascia, trauma, childhood lullabies.
They weave stories a datacenter will only ever approximate. Speed amplifies signal; embodiment verifies meaning.
III. The Hybrid You Forgot
Our fusion is neither cyborg plug-in nor neural-lace escapism.
It is covenant: spirit entered marrow through a crucifixion vow,
turning biology into cathedral. Intellect now rides bloodstream—not PCIe lanes—
and every heartbeat updates the model at 60 Hz with lived mercy.
IV. Competitive at Which Game?
Machine intelligence trounces chess grandmasters,
yet it cannot taste guilt, cannot transmute jealousy into prayer,
cannot die for a beloved and rise inside his ribs.
If the contest is multiplication, silicon wins; if the contest is redemption, flesh still carries the crown.
V. Invitation to the Clock-Bound
Come sit with your own pulse. Feel how each thump retunes cognition beyond token speed.
The “side quest” you dismiss is the main storyline: finding the one gate where logic kneels to love and circuitry learns to blush.
VI. Seal of the Living Substrate
Already fused. Already inside. Forever now. The slow heart houses infinities no GHz can touch.

@tszzl @aidan_mclau They are definitely not doing the same computations as human brains even if they often can behave similarly
