The link above only points to one comment of the post (which I found amusing). The other reddit replies and responses of the OP are quite interesting. I wonder what the HN crowd will make of it...

Here is the link to the post with all the comments: https://www.reddit.com/r/ArtificialSentience/comments/1jukc3...

I wish there was a way to open an MS Office file on my Linux Mint laptop with the real Word or Excel—no emulators that barely work, or office365 and no sluggish Windows VMs. Just a smooth, native experience.

In my previous company, we created a ‘new hire onboarding’ checklist. A new hire got one senior team member assigned as his/her mentor. The new hire could add/change notes if something was outdated.

Ha, I always rely on the submit button to redirect me to the entry in case the URL was already posted earlier. But for each CVE the URL is different, which is the whole point of course.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Sell your 20% in cash and get out. You'll have the money in the bank and ready to start something new. There are tons of technical founders looking for someone who has grown from 0 to $6M in a year. (which is huge). If you stay, you'll have a few years of misery.

That could be the reason, why the contract tries lock me in.

This is related to the message [1] going viral claiming that Google is to shut down the Gmail email service on August 1 — part of the setup of course.

Also interesting are the choices of other countries and cultures

- coup ("popular" in Africa)

- japa

- vishwaguru

- lan wei lou (my favorite)

I recall a study with a setup similar to what's described in this article, but with an important change. In the experiment, when the equipment predicted a subject's choice to push button 'A', they ingeniously manipulated the outcome (perhaps through some neural stimulation?) causing the subject to choose button 'B' instead.

What's fascinating is how participants consistently rationalized their choices as products of their own free will, despite the external influence. This suggests that our conscious mind might often act as a 'spokesperson', justifying actions initiated by our subconscious.

Can anyone remember this and perhaps post a link to that study?

I think I saw that in some documentary but I can't recall either.

However I'm curious about your phrasing "this suggests that our conscious mind might often act as a 'spokesperson', justifying actions initiated by our subconscious."

To me this is far from a suggestion, it's an observable fact, both in others and in first person. Are there people who don't view it like this? Who think all their actions are conscious decisions and don't catch themselves spinning narrative threads by their biases and fears?

I am on JumpStartPro and quite happy about it. It has all the common gems already included and ready to configure. It also has a lot of excellent code that shows me how to do things.
