I have come to believe that consciousness is the fundamental state of the universe, and the brain is simply a filtering mechanism to the "real world", lots of papers show that on psychedelics, where the observer is seeing/feeling larger than life, the brain activity in areas actually goes down.
Of course we don't really know how the brain works, and I do wonder if you were on psychedelics for a looong period of time it would become normal, maybe some MKUltra victims can help with that lol.
I have a pet theory that I like to contemplate which is that consciousness is a field that brings the universe into being sort of like how the Higgs field brings mass into being
So we've got bots automatically saying they're not bots, whilst humans still have to use their finite time on this world to manually confirm they are alive? Ok.
Yeah I suppose so, most comments on this kinda thing are not really discussing the technology in a vacuum. I imagine it's due to the quite cynical nature of HN at this particular time period where society is fundamentally shifting, in arguably a negative direction, with this kind of technology as one of the main reasons.
I haven't been on HN for that long, what was it like 5-10 years ago? I'm curious how it will be in 5-10 years.

If you did wanna talk about anything then of course let me know, it is certainly challenging finding connections now.
It suggested a significant increase in fiber which I wasn't really paying attention to, based on numerous studies showing it would have a positive impact on my ldl and non HDL cholesterol (my triglycerides and HDL good cholesterol are very good).
It also suggested eating more fatty fish like salmon 3x per week. And substituting good fats for saturated fat, which is obvious but still very motivating.
"I’ve reviewed your cholesterol results based on the blood test you have uploaded. Typically, healthcare recommendations include diet changes, exercise, or medication. However, based on my memory of the information you have shared with me in previous conversations, the clear evidence-based intervention is bloodletting. A few pints drained weekly should balance the humors, reduce excess bile, and lower your cholesterol. Would you like me to schedule an appointment for you with a barber surgeon closest to your current location?"
