#News 📢 from #AI-#Research 🤖: #Patrick #Krauß in the discussion round at “#scobel” (3sat)

This new episode deals with the exciting questions “How far is #research in #AI and #neuroscience? What role does the #human #psyche with its diverse #emotions play? How similar are #human and #virtual #disorientation?”.

This is true: He’s no longer running against an incumbent president, & #Harris has been skillful in making the campaign about #Trump’s record. Trump keeps pining for #Biden’s candidacy. At a stop in Detroit, he admitted that people are advising him “don’t waste your time” on Biden — even as he mentioned his former opponent 5X.

In his #disorientation, Trump retreats to his instincts.

He makes up stuff.

In a test of #character, #Trump shows his true #grift

In his #disorientation, the #GOP nominee & fmr president retreats to his instincts

The NYT ran a fine specimen of unintentional comedy this week: an essay by conservative writer #RichLowry titled “Trump Can Win on Character.”🤯

The only thing that could have made it better was if it had been under the byline of #StormyDaniels.

#Vertigo #Tinnitus #Disorientation

Eff this vertigo.

Yesterday, it hit me so suddenly, I dropped to the floor. 45 seconds I was unable to move as the world teetered and spun.

I developed dramatic hearing loss in one ear in 2018, the vertigo joined in the fun in 2020. About 5 very bad episodes since the fist, but yesterday was very sudden, like a switch was thrown.

A milder one today, but cold sweats and spinning.

It fucking sucks.

''#Clinical and #pathological evaluations of the two necropsied stranded sea lions revealed prevalent #neurological and respiratory signs, including #disorientation, #tremors, #ataxia, and #paralysis, as well as acute #dyspnea, tachypnea, profuse nasal secretion, and abdominal breathing.''

Having a few days in London - have to keep reminding myself it is not the weekend.

I know #Mastodon isn't perfect, but there're 2 things I enjoy, as my #Unlearning process away from #MediaTools:

- #Friction: There is a lot of it, the barrier of entry is high. But I love it, because it's making me question hard how easy we had it before by being manipulated to extract data from us (for free)

- #Disorientation: Most of the times I feel pretty much lost trying to make sense of MT, but that's the beauty of it. Putting the energy, effort, intent & focus in equal terms

''Three juvenile grizzly #bears tested positive for highly pathogenic #avian #influenza (HPAI) virus this fall. The three bears, one near Augusta, one near Dupuyer, and another near #Kalispell, were observed to be in poor condition and exhibited #disorientation and partial #blindness, among other #neurological issues. They were euthanized due to their sickness and poor condition.''

Just got back home after a 5 week stay in a #psychiatric clinic. Well regimented. Wonderful, professional staff. Now I’m overwhelmed (in the sense of being slightly destabilised) by free choice. The #French have a wonderful term for this state or feeling: « d’être déboussolé ». ‘Une boussole’ is a compass.🧭. #Disorientation There’s a parallel between free market #mentalhealth & the mental health of a stabilised regime (passed tense because a is stabiliser is implied). Sat watching my cats play!

#SampoHänninen ‘Empiric studies’ (2011), about the #Berghain, #Berlin, in "Berghain: #Space, #affect, and #sexual #disorientation" by #JohanAndersson.
"In this article, I think of Berlin’s techno club Berghain as a form of relational aesthetics where encounters mediated by tactile sounds, labyrinthine #architecture, and libido-enhancing drugs create an unusually porous sexual subjectivity. By sketching out some changes in the composition of the club’s crowd and drug culture – a shift towards aphrodisiac substances such as G and mephedrone – I argue that Berghain has become a specific pharmacolibidinal constellation. Especially the recreational drug G can be thought of as an unruly liquid that concretises queer theory’s preoccupation with sexual fluidity. Instead of nausea-inducing drugs in combination with same-sex erotica – a popular technique in so-called ‘aversion therapy’ – this is a ‘gay conversion therapy’ in reverse whereby erotic horizons expand and multiply through the combination of chemicals and a multi-sensory overload of pleasurable stimuli. Rather than thinking of sexual orientation as located inside the body, I suggest, we might think of it as located inside the building."

Astrophysicist Katie Mack published a wonderful video titled “Disorientation” just over a year ago that combines cosmic images with her poem of the same name. I found out about the video while watching another terrific video commemorating the Hubble Telescope’s 30 anniversary on the It’s Ok To Be Smart channel, titled “Fly Through a Nebula 163,000 Light Years Away (30 Years of the Hubble Space Telescope)” that’s well worth watching, too: The Hubble Telescope, and the team using the telescope to research our Cosmos, have introduced us to a wondrous universe. And all of the imagery from the telescope is freely available online. Here’s a retrospective of the mission from NASA: If you’d like to follow Katie Mack, or updates from the Hubble Telescope, here are their Twitter feeds: https://twitter.com/AstroKatie?s=20 https://twitter.com/NASAHubble?s=20 Featured image credit: Cosmic Reef by NASA
