Science Stimboard For Anon

the Ice War on Europa...

The reasoning of the theory that it will gain consciousness is discredited if you take into account that the internet is saturated with billions of people and ai resulting in basically a hive mind, like the science side of tumblr.

« [S]ome AI researchers believe machines will inevitably acquire consciousness as an emergent property when they reach some critical level of complexity. For what it’s worth (which I freely admit to be very little), I have no faith in these claims. The complexity argument seemed plausible a half century ago when computers were in their infancy. Today, consider a simple thought experiment: Which is more complex, the internet (including every computer attached to it), or the brain of a frog? The internet, I would say. And which is more likely to have some sort of inner experience, the internet or the frog? I’ll put my money on the amphibian. »

Floaties Masterpost

Ok look, I fucking loved the floaties that were being used in the community, but often found myself squinting at how tiny, and often times hard to read they were (for me at least).  So, seeing as I’m a grumpy old dude, and my eyes are easily strained, I started making my own. Bigass, and much easier to read! Also, nice and consistent! Which I guess is a bit of a pet peeve of mine. This is the Masterpost for all the Floaties I’ve made! Examples:

Full collection (700+ in seperate categories on seperate posts to keep tumblr from dying) in the read more section. Free to use as long as you give credit and don’t edit. Made by me -> @shintari​ / @ambivalence-and-torpor​
