what is a "unit" of ai?
someone will need to create real ai first... but for a benchmark i guess it should be based on showing the working out marked against some sort of creativity scale.
These guys are making ai version of people to interact digitally, so maybe 1:1?

VR and Models of Consciousness
A great video that previews a great journey for humanity: finding reality from VR
Interesting. I find that after a VR session I have a much heightened sense of reality. Just walking down the street I see things I've never noticed before.

Singapore: Man Arrested for Holding Smiley Face Sign Outside Police Station
According to Wham, who describes himself as a “social worker, migrant, and human rights activist,” his protest was a show of solidarity with another unidentified climate activist questioned by police after taking a picture in the same spot with the words: “SG is better than oil.”

Leave Your Race At The Door
More and more I am coming to realise that communities like this are an alternative to so much of the baggage of the old world, especially racism. I can choose any race I want for my profile pic or more likely, none at all, race is not existential here, it is an option that few even consider.
While we painfully watch what is happening outside the entire of concept of racism is deprecating before our eyes here.

People are scared of what they don't know and understand in life so they lash out. Saying that you can go to far in taking away comedy from us.
In my opinion, racism is normally a sign of stupidity or bred into people systemically. We all walk this Earth and come into it in the sane way. We're not here for a long time, we're here for a good time. Title says it all, leave that race shit at the door. The world can be a cruel enough place without adding fuel to the fire.
so much agree but i worry that we will eventually find another horrible way to discriminate, it's in our nature to do this.
There you go in your fucking DC universe view ;{}

what's the longest time youve spent in vr?
i'm really interested in immediate effects and anything that persists. for me it's under an hour and i was disoriented for maybe 8 hours with a 1/2 life around 1 hour.
I think the longest I've done in one go is about 3-4 hours. The weirdest part of VR for me was when I first got a headset, for about a week I felt like I was in VR all the time. The head-bobbing effect of walking in reality seemed exaggerated.
But all that's faded away now. I can use VR without any adverse effects except maybe a bit of eye strain for a long session.
But all that's faded away now. I can use VR without any adverse effects except maybe a bit of eye strain for a long session.
it seems to me the more immersive the platform the tougher it gets on the body. cheap vr gets on my nerves before i get queezy, a full on setup with peripherals and i feel like its a portal just getting back to irl.
Same, although i was watching porn for about 3, maybe 4 minutes. Not gonna lie.

I'm a tantric Sex God. But also over 40, drinking relatively heavily and dabbing up to half a g a day. Y'know how it goes...
I wish i did mate, i'm over 40 and a heavy drinker.
Sting with his tantric stuff was an influence on me, but only when i had to give money to Band Aid in 1984. Seems a bit too much like hard work. ;)

I need a break at least every 90 minutes.
I've done maybe 4 hours, I switched up games though and that help you from over dosing in a single game.

Oh man, blast from the past right there. Love this band! So chill and bass heavy. These guys did some awesome live shows with Iration Steppas back in the day. Nice shout, man.
I've had that whole 'Open your eyes" ep on repeat the last few weeks. Cracking band.
Tool are my go to band probably
Don't have a go to song exactly, depends on the mood. Would say hip hop like Gu, J-Cole, Tribe, Pharcyde, few others. Also love some Thin Lizzy, Rory Gallagher, Black Sabboth, Led Zeplin. Also love some Vaya Con Dias.....these are just off the top of the head, so many more.
I really came here to comment as I can see hip hop, rock, blues, folk all down through the list and am planning on working my way through it but don't have the time right now.
I want to leave this album here because it is great to smoke to, and great to fuck to, lol.....

My man, I really like this :) Thanks for the contribution, I actually didn't know I knew of Air till I heard Sexy Boy playing. Also, this sounds like a great album to take you through a LSD trip, I think I'll find out.
Of course, love the spread of music, thanks for starting this topic. Already headbanging to a few artists found.
A lot of people actually know their songs pretty well, but don't know them. Haha, that's what I like to hear. I have never done tripping but would definitely contribute to the overall mood/vibes. One of my favourite underappreciated albums....of course just in my opinion

I always find myself putting on one of three albums whenever I get some quality bud and have an hour or two to kill.
ATCQ - Low End Theory
Nas - Illmatic
Wu - 36 Chambers
For those times I'm not in a hip hop mood I tend to listen to some RHCP or The Doors or whatever I have on loop in my head for that day lol.

Underrated comment. I always come back to illmatic as well.
Why thank you, kind sir. I may be wrong but I'm sure Nas wrote and preformed that album at 19/20 which is just bananas to say the least. Such lyricism and flow for such a young man. "Rappers I'm monley flippin with the funky rythm I be kickin,
Musician, inflictin' composition, of pain
I'm like Scarface sniffin' cocaine
Holdin' a M16, see with the pen I'm extreme" first lines are maaaaaad lol

It is crazy, to be thinking so critically at that age while delivering a strong message wrapped up in smart word play, bars and insane flow. Some people just have raw talent man.
Illmatic = Hip Hop
If aliens landed and asked me what Hip Hop was, I would play them this album.

I listen to Funny Death, just melts away stress for me.
I love it. Super relaxing indeed. Reminds me of the movie Drive.
not seen that film, looks up my street for sure. But yes it has the same 80's/Cyberpunk feel. I whack the ファニーデス (Love Letter to Japan) album on while smoking and just get lost in it completely.
I think you would like it. Very relaxing to watch especially while medicated.

Straight fire, some sick tunes spawned from their beef tbh
Ohh haven't heard a Chipmunk tune since his beef with Bugzy haha. This is legit.
haha I actually remember all his old stuff... some stuff was pretty decent. mostly shite though lol
I agree, most of the stuff he did under Chipmunk is mega corny nowadays, probably back then too hahah. I rate his diss tracks though he brought some life back to the scene in those days.

Damn I was a toddler when this came out and I still smoke to it regularly.. crazy.
Awesome song this and the original.

Is Growing Outdoor Worth It?
I have a nice spot in my garden and was thinking I could pick up a little extra coin this way. Is outdoor quality going to cut it around here?
Little project we have at the minute, the picture is like a stoners wheres wally haha. Done completely as a hobby, none of this will ever make our LB menu lol
Why not for sale my man? I would rather buy weed that hasn’t grown up in prison.
The buds will be loose a fuck mate, not compact in the slightest, zero bag appeal lol. First time iv done this as well, way harder than growing indoors!! Shit load of thricomes on the autos though, the photos are due to start pistolling soon i reckon :)
ULC

Good luck with it all pal, looks can be deceiving it’s a shame outside isn’t appreciated like it should be. Real sunlight is underestimated and undervalued, I suppose it’s all about the bag appeal and crazy thc levels
Cheers mate, yeah could have the highest THC level going, but if it doesnt look the part its not gonna sell! Even though it all goes in the grinder, theres no reasoning with a lot of people lol :)
Auto Durban Poison :)
Check on YouTube for a UK grower called Outdoor Warrior. That will answer your question mate :)
A couple of good strains perfect for guerilla growing in our climate are frisian duck and frisian dew, both by Dutch Passion seeds.

Love that you spelled guerilla right!
Get your seeds from real gorilla seeds and you will be fine. They're bullet proof plants developed by UK guerilla growers and tested in Northern latitudes.
About £6 for a feminised seed.

Aw mate. all over this! thanks for sharing bud!! Not sure if the weather would have been suitable this year with all the rain (where I am) but next year i'm thinking of it for sure! love a bit of outdoor bud.
I do a small outdoor grow most years, use autoflowers, average something like 3 or 4 dry oz per plant, at 53 degrees north and 130 metres above sea level. Its easy till they start to flower, once the buds are there shake the dew of them every morning, sheet them down if its raining or misty. Never considered selling any though, just stay really baked until its all gone, save a fortune, definitely worth it, everything tastes better when you grow it yourself.
I hear you & totally agree, I have an amphetamine auto, white widow, gorilla glue and west coast og all thriving and frosting up nicely all outside growing naturally with basil,mint, coriander.peppermint and pepper as companion plants (all terps).
Couple of weeks left & I should get a nice Percy. Few photoperiods on the go as well, I hope to beat the weather. All natural all bless.
Is it best to harvest at night when all the terps are locked in? Just a thought

Wow this is perfect thanks, have been looking after my herbs and alliums today so hopefully they will help a lot, my neighbour said roasting it and leaving it outside is good, I’m not so sure. Do you just use soil? I’m worried with nutrients sometimes not to mess with the ph too much, I’ve been prepping my soil today, going to put my seeds in a terrarium, because I’m behind by a season, I’ve had outdoors go in to indoors and make really strong plants too, so I’m keeping the faith
Thanks for the heads up, full moon harvest for my girls,
Tbh I haven’t really used much nutrients, tried to stay away. Initially I used biobizz (fish mix organic) then eased off as I wanted this grow as natural as possible.
For Soil I’ve used your standard Westland all purpose compost in large pierced monkey tubs mixed with chicken poop.
For the flowering stage I use chopped up dried banana skins full of potassium and water those in, works a treat.
All planted with mint, basil, peppermint & a pepper plant round the sides to keep the bugs away with my autos as the centrepiece, also try saving rain water.
I like gardening anyway I have a large allotment I enjoy, it’s all good.
Good luck with everything

That’s an allotment I’d be proud of :) sounds so nice! Thanks a lot, it sounds beautiful and I’m certain the herbs add to the flavour, this is gross but my sisters BF did a home grow and I couldn’t smoke it, where he’d worked it hard indoors and natural grow it kinda just smelt sweaty lol how gross is that! I’d take outdoor anyday in the right season :)
I staggered my planting this year, been smoking my own weed for a month or so, got some almost ready and some just starting to flower now. It's been so damp and cold I built a poly tunnel over mine, some big smelly plants now, absolutely love it. , some ammo and diesel and ak so far, germinated my first seeds mid April. Good tip about the full moon, never even considered it. Good luck guys, watch out for the dreaded bud rot,.
Thanks lovely, yeah hard to guess rain fall so they can get a bit too damp I agree, I’ve been looking at cold frames, but also don’t want them too hot lol. So happy for you you’ve got a little grow for your self ❤️
depends where you based then find a big forest walk for miles with gps then plant lol
You better off growing indoors start small, get experience baby steps
You better off growing indoors start small, get experience baby steps
Outside all the way but not in uk , one of the best smokes I get every year is from Thailand it's all grown outside and if you know the right people and ask for whore ..lol.. you'll get proper bud not brickweed, my point is the right seeds ,climate and conditions will always win any battle , thai weed is strainless just the deep green and smell will make you realise why it should be grown outside
When i first read the topic, i was a bit puzzled.
Depends on where you live, climate, etc. But i think it is worth it anyways.
My 5 cents:
My opinion, and i am quite radical, is that the indoor growing should totally be cancelled.
I surely understand need and function of the indoor growing in the current mad world where nature is brutally 'illegalised', but plants that have never been kissed by the sun just don't cut it for me somehow.
Good luck with the grow brother.

Raise them up indoors? Like sprout them then replant outside? Or once they get to flower bring them inside?
Preparation is key start seedlings indoors pick a site that gets sun at least 8 hours or more make sure risk of frost has gone may onwards to plant out is a good bet if in UK.check out northern lights seeds by seedstockers great hardy strain and good price.
Don't use molasses to feed plants outside it will attract all the wild life and they will destroy your plants.lve learned this the hard way.
I've never understood if cannabis is a tropical plant or not. Theres all this Jamaican and Thai lore but then you have Northern Cali and Canada.
I suspect that as long as the price is in line with the quality there would be no issues. You could also turn it into some edibles or vape juice if you were worried about the compition on indoor grown bud.
Yes almost impossible to pay too much for great seeds

How Can the Stock Market Go Up When So Many People Are Unemployed?
have you heard of the paradise papers...... a portfolio of business that will do very well when people are forced into debt! investers(rich f@#kers) include people like the queen, prince charles(soon to be king, which is why the family have been trimming all the fat so he can start a fresh!), tony blair, gordon brown, you see where this is going.

Heres a thought.....the last person to try to take down the federal reserve...JFK and we all know what happened there
#richpoorgapexpansion
These all seem like good explanations but I have a question:
Has this situation happened before and what was the aftermath?
Has this situation happened before and what was the aftermath?
Has there been a global pandemic before? Yes. What was the aftermath? Depending on what point in history you wish to reference, would always yield a different answer. What strikes me is not the situation, but the environment in which it happens. A situation may have happened before but the environment may permit a much different outcome. Is this a health crisis or an economic one? Historically, how do we approach them individually? And more importantly, what are the risks in mistaking one for the other?
Because all of this is made up and capitalism constantly needs justifications for its own existence, which is why stock market information appears to matter on mainstream news outlets.
Nice summary of this here
A lot of those unemployed people are day trading stocks and this contributes directly to the effect you see.
The Unemployment rate has absolutely 0 correlation with the global stock market . Some stocks prices are extremely low, and some are rallying beyond historical data (as it does). Overall, yes the S&p 500 and FTSE 100 are doing very well under the circumstances, and this is due to big banks providing liquidity to brokerage houses for retail and institutional traders to open positions, and by the looks of it traders are doing well (hence a good outlook for the stock market). Back to your point, the unemployment rate strictly affects currency growth in the country it relates to e.g if UK's unemployment rate dropped by 2% yoy then we would see a decline in the GBP/USD etc etc...hope that makes sense to you.
The stock market is not the economy. The equity market is being supported from all angles, be it historically low Interest rates, meagre bond yields, central bank intervention like wells said, Even just a disconnect from fundamentals. Also worth bearing in mind that 5 big tech names make up nearly 20% of the SP500, which have performed incredibly during the pandemic.
Well put jarjar and where there is a disconnect there is an arbitrage. I think we are looking at the biggest short in history. The markets can't stay disconnected from reality forever.
I share this belief, but they can stay disconnected for longer than we think. The perfect trade if improperly timed can lead to ruin, even if all the other stars align. But truthfully, irrational exuberance and over speculation lead to one thing, and this pack is nearly out of aces ?
Short specific stocks, fx, commodities based on fundamental and technical analysis.
