Ok since I’m new and not super popular I hope I can get away with doing this challenge(inspired by previous challenges of similar form):
ceiling(lm) = y
l = the number of loves this posts gets within a week of sharing this
m = a multiplier that is greater than one which I decide
y = a variable determined by l and m. This variable is part of a series of y length, determined by the following recursive function:
a_(n+1) = a_(n) + 1, for a_(1) = c; for
Where c is a constant determined by the comment count by people other than me on this post, not including replies.
For every love this post gets, by the time a week has elapsed, I will multiply it by m and use this, as well as the number of non-reply comments I get from others on this post, in the formula to determine my one-hand pushup challenge routine.
If I get c of 3 and a y of 5, this is what my routine will look like:
Day 1: 3 one-hand pushups
Day 2: 4 one-hand pushups
Day 3: 5 one-hand pushups
Day 4: 6 one-hand pushups
Day 5: 7 one-hand pushupsI hope I don’t regret this decision
I also hope I didn’t do the math wrong for the generating function
Please don’t spam comments tho I don’t wanna lose my arms yet
Saw this too. Here’s what I wrote to my friends about some of these new advances in technology:
I am genuinely reconsidering a lotta my envisioned path in CS as a CS student. I kinda want independence from a techbro phenomenon that is deeply concerning me. For lack of a better term. Sora and all this tech looks cool and is pretty technically cool, but I worry how ethically guided much of this tech is getting. It seems very unethically, and inappropriately guided. I also wonder how ethics is gonna catch up to this expansion in technology. To me, Sora is useless to humanity. And it’s only humanity who might think it is useful. As a phenomenon also, it seems to be no good. I think much of this open source AI has spawned a phenomenon that does not operate in good-faith. And if so, I hope karma comes back and it destroys itself just like it was created. And I choose not to attach myself to something which I think is no good.
That all said, I really like the research, discussion, and ethics for technology. I just really think it’d be a shame if we wholly replace our own free thinking with technological models which was really, in the first place, an original product of our own thinking.
This video was generated entirely by AI.
It was generated by OpenAI’s new text-to-video model called Sora. It’s currently only being tested by a small group of experts and creators.
I don’t know how other’s feel about this, but I find this kinda terrifying. A lot of the videos that they’ve shown off so far are already very convincing, and I can already imagine the kind of misinformation that will be created with this tool. Even if OpenAI can keep the lid on it with Sora, the fact that they have pulled something like this off probably means we’ll see others turning up soon. I wouldn’t be shocked to see an open sourced equivalent for this, like Stable Diffusion.
I know we can’t put the genie back in the bottle now, but I do really worry about the future when the tech is getting this good this quick. This feels like the end of the information age, because we might be soon be unable to tell what info is real and what is fake.

Hallo! As a newbie to here, may I be told in your own amazing words what this site is?
I love this. I think I’m thankful for this funny little social media. Hope it stays that way :P
correct me if im wrong but wasteof is the strange intersection between tumblr, reddit, twitter, and scratch, that we didn't know we needed
Good morning!
I am making a YT series on cognition. The first video will be loosely about “dissociation”. I finished the script, and I’m in the process of recording. I’m still constantly researching and whatnot though. I like to strike up conversations that might prove insightful. I aim to make this series as down-to-earth and as experience-oriented as possible, where I talk about people’s personal thoughts and takes on cognitive phenomena such as dissociation.
(The first episode is a bit strange cause it is a bunch of less-than-structured thought piles, where I just speak my thoughts)
If you have any cool thoughts on “what is dissociation”, feel free to speak what you think.
:D
The limits of language are the limits of my world.
Been thinking about this famous quote by Wittgenstein.
I actually have not studied philosophy myself, and never read his works.
But,
From what I understand, he created thorough and comprehensive works of philosophy for his lifetime, only to express the idea that he’d never be understood by the rest of the world.
I feel I can conclude from what I know: The world is quite limitless. However, our language and subsequent understanding of the world always creates its own limits. Linguistic structures that form the human understanding of the world are always circular. When you traverse an understanding of your own language, you will eventually end up back where you were.
Famous mathematician Tarski(yes, Alfred Tarski, the one featured in a famous Vsauce video, and the reason why I have this pfp ever since) expressed the same idea in his works of algebra and logic.
From what I know, he proved that algebra, a human construct, no matter how logical and true, if built in a way, will be totally against reality.
I always wanted to fully understand what truth Tarski uncovered with his works of mathematical paradoxes, but it seems the truth he uncovered was (simply put) that everyone’s “truth” is different.
Earlier than Tarski, I remember Solomon’s ironic and quite paradoxical words that he poured his heart out over, and expressed great vain over. His own words about his vain were in vain.
My conclusion: philosophy addicted
