  • Assumptions:

    • Avg human weight: 62kg
    • Poop to be pooped: 300g (based on avg bowl mvmnt of 128g)
    • Velocity of poop: 11kmh (based on fart velocity)

    The answer is no, you would have to take a shit about 20 times the normal dump to move at about 5kmh.

    Sadly, this art is not based in phisical reality.






  • Sentient in a nutshell is the ability to feel, be aware and experience subjective reality.

    Can an LLM be sad, happy or aware of itself and the world? No, not by a long shot. Will it tell you that it can if you nudge it? Yes.

    Actual AI might be possible in the future, but right now all we have is really complex networks that can do essentially basic tasks that just look impressive to us because the are inherently using our own communication format.

    If we talk about sentience, LLMs are the equivalent of a petridish of neurons connected to a computer (metaphorically) and only by forming a complex 3d structure like a brain can they really reach sentience.
