Ah your next novel is done? Make sure noone reads it, it would diminish the value of the tax-writeoff when we delete it.

rna is a completely different molecule, with different properties and used differently by the cell.
For one, rna is less stable than dna, it will fall appart quickly while for dna that process takes millennia.
But more importantly various cell machinery will only accept dna or rna for their respective functions. The cell can put dna into a nucleus and still let rna move outwards to ribosomes for example.
Ribosomes are built from rna and incompatible with dna, so there is an isolation ensuring dna can’t get “executed” unintentionally. There are also a large range of gene regulation mechanisms along this extended chain.
Since evolution kinda codes randomly with whatever it has, this duplicated mechanism of storage will be used all over the place. For example here you can give short double stranded rna a suppression effect while keeping short double stranded dna free for a different purpose (like maybe crispr). - Comment on Purple Petunias 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think so.
To my knowledge that vaccine injects regular rna into cells to have them produce a protein of the virus, so the immune system starts to build antibodies that target the covid virus.Since it relies on protein building it uses the regular well-known mechanism where mRNA (messenger RNA) is copied from DNA (then complex shit happens which we will ignore) then it reaches the ribosomes that build proteins from the encoded sequence.
The discussed application for this rna silencing is more active, it directly suppresses some genes of the virus to stop it from infecting cells.

It started with the flowers of a purple petunia plant turning white, and ended with a human cell becoming resistant to the deadly embrace of the Aids virus. The intervening decade took in experiments with yeasts, microscopic worms, mice and flies. And they all pointed to one thing: a potential revolution in medical science.

- Comment on CAPTCHAs are 'a tracking cookie farm for profit that made us spend 819 billion hours clicking to generate nearly $1 trillion for Google 2 months ago:
Probably only sucessful ones.
Google captchas have had multiple rounds (with it faking you out claiming you failed) for probably a decade. Every round of the game updates some confidence score which if you get it high enough lets you pass.
This conversely means there is no way to fail, you just get stuck in an infinite loop of challenges if your score doesn’t get high enough.The only other alternative means of pricing it would see even valid users consume way more than one “verification” per actual completed captcha, since so many users have low enough scores to need multiple rounds of captcha even when completing them with perfect accuracy.
I doubt they do this, but if they do it’s a scandal waiting to happen, besides also being very weird for any kind of statistic google certainly offers for their captcha. - Comment on Easy 3 months ago:
- Comment on Apple opts everyone into having their Photos analyzed by AI 3 months ago:
They did this exact thing for csam detection a while back, and were made to stop due to public outcry.
It might have been analyzed locally and before encryption then though, still however without consent of the user and sending problematic results to apple.It is very realistic that here they would make the device decrypt and check the description against a database and make it send the file and description off for reporting when a match is found.

Yeah. You want to preserve the AI’s abilities. Hence adding the “paste imagination” feature for example. If you simply use that and finish “editing” that is current AI. Then you can quickly redo only sections from imagination until they look good, maybe with a specific prompt or other form of understanding about what needs to be done and changed there.
We can invert our visual center, so basically we see an image, think about it, then can summon a mental version of that painting back as an image by converting the abstraction of it and change things about the abstraction until the mental image seems good. This abstraction can handle ideas like recognizing, moving, scaling, recoloring objects. It can do all we can imagine because it is literally how we interpret the world. Then we spend hours trying to paint that mental image we created using limited tools. If we could just project something the same way we see, that would probably match image-AI in the initial output but after tens, hundreds of passes you could likely within minutes create something completely impossible by any other means.

If you feel like you can think clearly and are questioning if you are dreaming but are unsure, you are not.
All methods of lucid dreaming aim at making you think clearly and question if you are in a dream. With that thought, it should be quite obvious to confirm you are in fact in a dream. Dreams are really not that good, sleeping is just kinda like a heavy suspension of disbelief. - Comment on AI Artefacting 7 months ago:
Yeah. It is not like you can perfectly recreate them, but as long as you don’t see a problem with whatever your brain fabricates it’s not gonna do anything.
What I used to do was try to breath through my nose. That is a different mechanism, where probably for safety your body doesn’t “disconnect” your breathing. If you hold your nose shut, you will still be able to breathe in a dream.
It is something you can easily make a habit, as just quickly pinching your nose doesn’t look weird, and then you will naturally do it in your sleep too and become lucid.All you really need is a moment of doubt, and if you have experienced a few dreams you will always be able to tell if you are dreaming or awake at a thought, at least in my experience.
I have stopped lucid dreaming a while ago, but I think I am still always aware when I sleep based just off of how I sleep. Ever since then it feels more like I am just going along with my dreams most of the time, and occasionally I just decide a nightmare sucks too bad and change it or wake myself up.
- Comment on AI Artefacting 7 months ago:
You know, thinking about it, I doubt this is a coincidence.
The finger-counting is familiar to me as a technique for lucid dreaming. If you look at your hands in a dream, your brain will ki da fuck it up, so if you train yourself to pay attention to that you realize you are dreaming and start a lucid dream.
My guess is that the origin of fae is something like sleep paralysis deamons or hallucinations, and people realized they could detect those from the same flaws of our own imagination.
Now for AI, it isn’t really drawing. What we are using in image-AI is still much more like projecting up a mental image, dreaming. We can’t get it right all at once, even our human brain is not good enough at it.
The next step would logically be to emulate the drawing process. You need to imagine up an image, then observe it at large, check for inconsistencies using reasoning and visual intuition.
Hone in on any problems, stuff that doesn’t look right or doesn’t make sense. Lines not straight.
Then start reimagining those sections, applying learned techniques and strategies, painter stuff (I am not an artist).
Loosely I imagine the ai operating a digital drawing program with a lot of extra unusual tools like paste imagination or telepathic select, or morph from mind.The main thing differentiating dreaming from painting is that for painting you can “write stuff down” and don’t have to keep it all in your head all the time. This allows you to iterate and focus in without loosing all the detail everywhere else.
