Replied to another person asking a similar question - yes there is a similar experience in the Liminal app.
It gives me some discomfort - almost makes me wonder if it could induce some sort of epileptic episode in me if I tried to push through the discomfort.
But on the whole Liminal is a neat app with other useful experiences.
Sure - but I don't see the authors mention group convergence anywhere.
While the first 5 week post treatment actually looks impressive, I don't think the treatment arms being essentially the same after 6 months supports the conclusions of the study. Unless we backpedal and say the inactive grouo was microdosing (which has its own baggage...)
How do track errors with the AI? Is it up to me as a user to flag them or do you have a review process or have different models confirm the same outcome?
Right now if you suspect an error in AI response you can flag it/submit as feedback. For anything that AI does without your input (bookkeeping) we associate a confidence with it and when below that threshold we get a human in the loop.
We know that trusting AI with financial info is hard which is partially why we have the sheet (so that the AI can backup it's claims).
> Also: is America just vastly more expensive than Europe?
Yes.
In my family I am under employed and my wife is an elementary teacher. Health insurance for us costs $800 every month. A car is required and so is the gas to drive it. We have two 7 year old Toyotas and insurance on them is $100 a month.
It’s a lot more overhead and risk mitigation compared to the better nations like yours that care for their people.
My negative opinion based on experience working with the stereotype that fits your friend is they are only valuable in a massive company. 8/10 phd holders I have worked with couldn’t actually do hands on work. So where do people who just want to think, talk and write about work without being able to actually ship provide value on the order of $250/hr?
MISHLOVE: Perhaps this is a necessary part of everybody's journey, is to go through the epitome of terror.
LILLY: Right. For instance, there's an Iranian psychiatrist, an American psychiatrist, that put a hundred patients in a mental hospital in Iran through what they feared most, on Ketamine, and they all left the hospital. Now, I tried the same thing, after I read that. That evening I took 150 milligrams of Ketamine, and suddenly the Earth Coincidence Control Office removed my penis and handed it to me. I screamed in terror. My wife Toni came running in from the bedroom, and she said, "It's still attached." So I shouted at the ceiling, "Who's in charge up there? A bunch of crazy kids?" The answer came back, "Well, you had an unconscious fear, so we put you through it, just the way the Iranian psychiatrist did."
MISHLOVE: In the realm of the mind, the province of the mind, we can face all our fears.
LILLY: Well, you may not be able to live with it, but you should try it.
I agree with you. I dont enjoy the trip. I appreciate that I have ventured into the substrate of our reality but it is not something I desire to experience often.
Trusting the process was great and worked well after 4 IV treatments. There is absolutely something to the plasticity coming from a treatment and being able to get out of a rut.
