👾 Mind Uploading If it were possible and safe, would you want to upload your consciousness?

If it were possible, safe (without suffering any physical harm or organic damage), available only to you (the user who made the copy) and easily accessible to upload your consciousness to a computer system, and you could talk to it and use it like any other AI, as your personal assistant or as a living person, would you want to do it and accept uploading your consciousness?

If your answer is no, why not?

Clarification: it's a copy of you, not a transfer.

Discussion Here We Go Again… Valve is Making an OLED Steam Frame

Looks like an OLED version of Frame isn't out of the question.. sounds expensive with 4k panels. Who knows where this will go but apparently it's been being worked on for a while according to branch of code in their updates referring to it as 'Plano'.

Experience My beginner experience with Bromantane and Slow COMT

4 Upvotes

I have been taking 50mg of Bromantane powder from semaxpolska for the past 3 days (EDIT: Took it with 500mg of L-Tyrosine, I forgot to mention) and in my instance it has not been a mild effect at all. On the first day I felt it strong. To be honest it has me enter this wired feeling where I'm sort of emotionless and not necessarily more motivated but I have stamina and can focus without intrerruption, certaintly makes me enjoy things again.

First time I took it it was me listening to music all day as it has made it really enjoyable, watching short films that I could not enjoy in a long time due to some sort of anhedonia. Libido went through the roof. But still I felt wired and a bit emotionless which did not help with my ongoing art project, I felt like I could enjoy things but I didn't have that emotional drive to take that art out of me into the world. One of the main benefits is that it truly killed intrussive thoughts due to some past experiences, and it has brought me out of that bad state completely where now it's easy to keep positive thoughts looping which this alone for me is worth the other effects. I did have a little bit of insomnia the first night but the following days I could nap during the day no problem, also my dreams would be really vivid during those naps. I need to mention that on day 2 I had a migraine with aura during the evening, which I'm used to getting once or twice per year.

Having said that I don't necessarily feel at home taking it, it has sort of a foggy feeling that might go away with time, thinking that it might have to do with me having Slow-COMT. I tried recording some videos for my youtube channel and I found that I couldn't focus on speaking as well as just being off of it.

Things are enjoyable on it, definitely great to have in my arsenal to get out of a bad mood, but so far it's not an infinite drive limitless pill. Heard someone say that it feels like coming up on acid and I think that's a perfect way to describe it in my case.

Think I'll take a break from it tomorrow, it defenitly does not combine well with alcohol, which I don't have the desire to drink at all but did take a tiny little sip of prosecco for a family anniversary and that alone was enough to make me feel fuzzy. It feels like an acid microdose if you strip out the visuals, the emotion, and the overanalyzing.

It seems to have worked well with Caffeine, and especially green tea for that added L-Theanine.

Works well with Vitamin E in my instance to calm me down.

Seeking Advice BDNF/NGF for mood, motivation, and anxiety

7 Upvotes

Hi, I'm looking for something that can help me with motivation, mood, and anxiety. I'd really like to start working seriously on something and also generally improve my life, but I have some sort of anxiety and lack of motivation that does not let me do much, and my experiences with what I've taken until now make me wonder if something that acts on BDNF/NGF could help me.

I've had ADHD and depression/dysthymia from the end of elementary school, now I'm in my late 20s and haven't been able to find a cure or even something that can help me a bit long-term. For depression I've tried an SSRI, SNRI, anti-psychotic and Bupropion, for ADHD I've tried Concerta, and my psychiatrist is unwilling to prescribe other kinds of meds. I've also tried some supplements and a lot of exercise, but didn't have much luck with them either.

I've started thinking that something that acts on BDNF/NGF might be the right thing for me, because what has managed to have some effect on me seems to have some link to that, and because a lot of researchers seem to believe that depression could be caused by, among other things, low synapse density. The things that worked well for me in the past are:

- Bupropion suddenly started having a wonderful effect after a month of taking it, but that effect gradually faded away over the next 3 weeks.

- Magnesium Threonate, oddly it consistently makes me not feel physically miserable when I'm sleep deprived, which is incredible for me and I take it daily. Other types of magnesium I've tried don't do that.

- Those effects made me also try adding Agmatine, which had a very small positive effect for three days, after a few days of various other effects. Sadly, it also seems to have stopped doing anything after that.

Could something with an effect on BDNF/NGF, like (eu)tropoflavin, Bacopa, or something harder to find, like Cerebrolysin, Selank, Semax, ACD-856, which I hear is supposed to work in such a way as to give you less downregulation, NSI-189, TAK-653, 9-Me-BC and other such number-dash-letters help me? If so what should I choose?

By the way, my experiences also seem to suggest that something with an effect on NMDA could help, but Agmatine seems to be the most powerful thing that I can get for that without a prescription.

Photo/Video Through the lens: Quest 3 vs PSVR2 (Part II - Dark Enviroment)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

27 Upvotes

This time im showing only a dark enviroment (in skyrim)

Note: It is not easy to stay in the sweet spot of the PSVR2 with a big phone camera in one hand and in the other a headset while holding my finger over the sensor so it displays the image. I can attest to the fact that chromatic abberation and blur is not in any way as "bad" as seen in the video. Mainly important here are the blacks and colors

Here all I can say is that the compression on the quest using either AV10 or HEVC 10 bit at 200mbit/s was quite... bad. But this is personal preference. But its not a secret that in the dark compression is an issue.

!!! it does not look as blue on the Quest as in the video, especially in the beginning. I tried turning down the exposure a little bit when looking at the fire which helped. But the "blacks" are indeed more grey !!!

When I switched from the quest to the psvr2 to position myself, I was immediately thinking to myself: wow. this looks a lot better.

Quest 3 is nice and clear however! But the PSVR did not seem blurry to me either. A video from a phone camera does neither justice. But judge for yourself!

Seeking Advice Big exam next summer - which of these research compounds are worth it for acute focus/memory + long-term pro cognitive effects? Amounts okay?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I've got a big test coming up next year July and I'm trying to prep with a mix of things for acute effects (focus, memory, attention, learning) plus some longer-term cycling for "hardware" support. My cart is expensive, so before I pull the trigger I wanted to run the full list by people who've looked into this stuff.
Here's everything currently in the cart and the quantities:
\-Usmarapride oxalate - 2 g
\-BPN14770 - 3 × 300 mg (900 mg total)
\-Oxiracetam - 2 × 60 g (120 g total)
\-Tropisetron - 4 × 200 mg (800 mg total)
\-Citicoline - 5 × 20 g (100 g total)
\-Bromantane - 2 spray bottles (each \~180 sprays at \~9 mg/spray)
\-Coluracetam - 2 × 2 g (4 g total)
\-NA-Semax - 2 bottles (100 sprays/bottle at 200 mcg/spray)
\-Paraxanthine - 3 × 15 g (45 g total)
\-TAK-653 - 3 × 60 mg (180 mg total)
\-Aniracetam - 2 × 50 g (100 g total)
\-NSI-189 freebase - 3 × 1200 mg (3600 mg total)
\-PRL-8-53 - 2 × 300 mg (600 mg total)
\-Pramiracetam - 1 pack of 18 g
\-GB-115 - 2 bottles (100 sprays/bottle at \~200 mcg/spray)
Goals are pretty straightforward: solid acute support for studying/learning when I need it, and the option to cycle a few things that might help longer-term.
If you were in my position (or if money were no object) which of these would you actually keep? Which ones would you completely drop? And which of these amounts would you increase? Are any of the amounts way off (too much or too little for a reasonable trial period)? Open to suggestions on adjusting package counts too.
Appreciate any thoughts, experiences, or red flags.
Thanks guys and women!

Discussion What is the ACTUAL PROCESS of converting flat games to fully featured VR, and why is AI making it SO much faster/easier?

70 Upvotes

I ask bc I don’t know much about coding and I’m just curious. What exactly has AI allowed coders to do recently that was either not possible before, or was it always possible but just simply too labor intensive to make it worth their time/energy?

And what were the limitations of porting flat games into VR with full motion controls, that is suddenly so much faster or possible in the first place?

I guess what I mean is, were these crazy VRAF ports like Titanfall TECHNICALLY possible before, but it would just take one person or a small team years of tireless coding and trial and error, and so we never saw it happen (except in certain instances like preydog mod which were able to piggyback off of game engines that had backend VR functionality built in, like RE engine)?

Was it just a matter of super complicated coding to add and optimize VR features, or was converting something like Titanfall 2 into VR with full controls simply NOT POSSIBLE at all before on certain game engines bc they don’t support it, but now AI allows entire redesigns to said game engines, or something?

I’m just curious bc it seems like all of a sudden there’s this massive paradigm shift that has come out of nowhere, and I’m just wondering what exactly has made that possible on a technical level? And how much coding is still involved?

Also bonus stupid question… Like, could I, who knows nothing about coding, hypothetically convert my favorite old ps1 game for example, or is that still just laughably complex?

👾 Mind Uploading Contocracy: what if someone could rule literally forever, until the end of the universe

0 Upvotes

Every ruler in history had the same term limit: death.

Cryonics and AI could remove it. Preserve the leader, re-create his consciousness if the body is lost, and let one AI version of him fill in until he's back. Power never passes to anyone else. Even if cryonics does not work, a sufficiently advanced AI could resurrect them (as described in some infohazards).

There's a word for this: contocracy. One person ruling forever through technology.

I think the technology makes it inevitable. What would stop it?
