Interesting and related: Noam Chomsky, in his work as linguist, has stated that what reaches the ear (or the eye in this case) is not what reaches the mind. What this means is that we experience language as if it was linearly ordered, when at the cognitive level (in the mind) language is actually hierarchically organized. This means that the underlying structure of language has to interface with the sensory-motoe systems in order to transform the hierarchical structure into a linear one. This is why we sometimes also struggle putting our thoughts into words, because in that interface there is a change in structure that doesn’t always preserve the ‘original’ (hierarchical) structure

thanks!

Shit I’m old

Ah ye, I can relate the the effects. Thanks

Alright now I wanna know why squinting doesn’t allow to see details but I’m getting one step closer to understanding it. Thanks

Ok It it’s AI generated but I want to know what’s happening at the cognitive level. This is unlike other multistable images I’ve seen before. Can someone explain how this works brain-wise?

Since I seem to be the only one not getting this, I’m gonna ask: Can someone explain?

I agree, it’s one of the things I dislike about the fediverse (I’m on Kbin)

This ^^

It has a single origin. Sayayin culture. Remember Vegeta was a sayayin, and he and his friends introduced that type of armor when they landed on earth for the first time.

The cartoon that most definitely influenced my life. R.i.P Toriyama

I think the point is that it’s the same (type of) computation or process over and over.

Yeah I agree. I guess it’s up to us to change that. But it takes courage to do so

The synth and the LSD. I’ll dilute the LSD in water, give it to a while crowd and jam on the synth, becoming the either a music legend, a messiah, or both

I appreciate when people take the effort to create a meme doing some image manipulation plus funny text. Giving prompts to an AI and posting it is the absolute decadence of meme culture. I hate it

I’ve read all the biographies of Zappa I have found. It’s in one of those, but can’t remember which. It was an unofficial (not authorized) one

If only he hadn’t thrown a bottle of beer over Zappa’s daughter and they hadn’t fought about it, we would have had so many amazing collaborationa

The next genius was Frank Zappa obviously

Thanks!

Any reason to try something something else than VLC?
