#introductions I was blessed enough to get a B.S. in neuro but realized tech is so necessary to realize ideas like exoskeletons for the disabled or even cybernetic nanomedicines that require general-purpose intelligence for instance.

I'm p much interested in anything that I can't understand without a couple textbooks or several long-winded blogposts.

Also, no filter. Sorry. I make it a point to keep it disciplined though. For my own sake. #introduction

I apologize for my comment made concerning the utility of the Fediverse. I need to be patient with this network just as I was with Twitter, in hopes of cultivating an interesting, useful community of diverse-minded individuals.

Forgive me!

Very little utility on this Mastodon platform. Mastodon, why should I stay here?

Have any system besides anesthetized human patients and Sophia the Robot had their Tononi phi measured?

How do you solve a 'Duplicate or Mock file' error on Android after having moved a file up the directory?

Not even DALL-E 37 could make car art for my itasha in JUST the way I would like a human commissioner to do it for me.

I'll give #technology this: maybe there will be a future device that can 'print' my HD imagination onto a document for use by a car art designer.

But even in that world, human artists would get an edge. New breeds of artists would emerge who don't possess the ability to draw.

Thinking will become a business, science, and an art.

BUT THEN THERE'S THE ACCESS ISSUE...

Anyone from these hashtags want to guide me towards Mastodon-Twitter enlightenment? (follow4follow?)

I have a #scifi novel (novella?) in the works. It's a series of short stories within the same universe, starting in alternate 2024 in a neuroscience class.

There's romance in some stories, but most stories are coated in world-building (massive 3D printers to replace cranes, utility fog meatloaf from swine with questionable levels of consciousness, an orphanage for superintelligent children).

The goal is to write about what a fantastical concept-clad 22XX might look like if people like Kurzweil and Goertzel are correct in their predictions/speculations.

If you have any ideas, feel free to reply to this. I pretty much have Story I completed, but there may be a dozen or 2 stories.

ALife is taking off. Like, what even is this ( https://openreview.net/pdf?id=H5eErMka-9 )?

We have gone beyond creating physics engines. Projects like Lenia (https://chakazul.github.io/lenia.html ) have smooth-bodied species.

What's next? 'Nervous tissue' proximal to the bilateral symmetry formations?

Not to mention ALife is not only 'soft ALife'. There are roboticists working on artificial muscle ( https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-07799-9 ) AND the field of 'wet ALife'-- the stuff of organoids, primarily.

Though in a recent #neurotech video presentation I swore I saw circuit boards being made of an array of neurons. Will have to dig that up...

Cross-platform post test: I like cellular automata. A lot.

I did my junior thesis on motor imagery and now that all this #neurotechnology stuff is taking off I want to be a part of it really badly.
