We don't know they can communicate silently with their minds.

I completely agree, although I would replace “replace” with “evolve past”

Plank length dictates there must always be a limit to how much distance can be traveled at one time therefore there is a frame rate to everything *including the brain -is more what I’m getting at

Reply to The 1984 Dune film makes a lot more sense if The Spice is referred to as Space Cocaine instead. by neoengel

I mean it’s literally described as space cocaine that is also essential for space travel

No it doesn't... We don't process things in frames. Our brains work more smoothly than that. We do have limitations on how much can be dealt with at any given moment but our brains do too much all at once to reference it like frames.

Reply to Those who keep the light theme for any OS or app either have to because they already have bad eyesight, or will if they keep using it by NotoriousM0N

I like light mode, dark mode gives me pre 2000, old DOS screens vibes. I don't like to get shamed either.

I don't care how ridiculous this may seem but there is just something so unsettling about pooping onto other peoples poop.

This is the sort of thinking I think people struggle with. Our brain is subject to physical limitations and those are not going to change. AI on the other hand can be the size of a house with distant power supplies proving endless watts of energy that our human minds cannot compete with.

Yes, right now our brains take advantage of quantum mechanics in ways computers can't but it's only a matter of time before we invent better computers.

It seems inevitable that we will eventually replace ourselves with AI.
