<div dir="ltr">More accurate to say, the uploaded mind would have a lot more reflection and contemplation in that one second. Not literally 1,000 ideas, but that 1 idea gets much more refined and spawns sub-ideas.<div><br></div><div>Actions get more measured and precise. Ever had to react because there was no time to think? Sped-up minds wouldn't, at least not for most of the same situations. Playing sports is closer to chess, to them. Boredom management is a problem when their entire physical existence is like that, but there are ways to handle that, especially with implanted telecommunications and other things the mind can be doing while the body slowly goes about its day.</div><div><br></div><div>One example: I, in my current form, take about 20 minutes to shower and get dressed. I could perhaps optimize that - some of that time is spent contemplating what combination of colors I wish to wear that day, and there are some redundant motions - but let's say 5 minutes as a practical minimum. As a 1,000x accelerated mind, that would be 5,000 subjective minutes: nearly 3.5 subjective days. You can be fairly certain that only a small part of my bandwidth would be set to running the physical actions of getting cleaned and dressed to face the nearly 2 subjective years before it is time to sleep once more. (Though, given how sleep is tied into restoring and resetting the mind as much as its effects on the body, sleep schedules might well be different. A constant cycle of spending 1 minute awake then sleeping for half a minute - or more precisely, 57.6 seconds on then 28.8 seconds off, working from subjective 16 hours then 8 hours - would likely not prove practical.)</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Oct 15, 2024 at 9:08 AM William Flynn Wallace via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"comic sans ms",sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Thanks, Bill K - before I get lost in Wikipedia, how about this:</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"comic sans ms",sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"comic sans ms",sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,0)">A person looks at the Mona Lisa for one second and has one idea.

It's a long story.... :)<br>
Try this for an introduction -<br>

Quote:<br>
With sufficient hardware parallelism, a simulated brain could thus in<br>
theory be made to run faster than a biological brain. Uploaded beings<br>
may therefore not only be more efficient, but also supposedly have a<br>
faster rate of subjective experience than biological brains (e.g.<br>
experiencing an hour of lifetime in a single second of real time).<br>
