Dropping rapidly, and using reasoning models can solve most of it today.
It doesn’t matter to our current consciousness as it can’t perceive anything outside of that. We do not know what is beyond our rudimentary understanding of what makes us who we are.
Something like this seems far more likely to me than consciousness being finite.
Keyword being like this, as in whatever is actually going on is far beyond our comprehension, but it’s a nice palatable story that gives it shape. Consciousness might exist beyond death as part of a universal ‘field of awareness’ and reality could be a holographic projection from a deeper non local field of information. Upon death the quantum information could “return” to the universe (orchestrated objective reduction), Monadism, fractal consciousness, pantheism, etc.
People with aphantasia have improved spatial memory that tries to compensate for episodic memory.
So the first thing that I feel when I try to remember something is my position in the room, or where the person speaking to me was standing.
Same thing if I try and ‘see’ a circle. I’ll just feel the dimensions. Hard to describe but it’s almost like pressure in my frontal cortex. A circle feels like coming down from the left and right in a circular pattern, whereas imagining a tree feels like the pressure is at the bottom pushing up.
Even the open models released today you can run on your own can boost your productivity massively if you know what you’re doing. Most people here are just too daft to know what they’re doing and parrot whatever shite memes have told them to think.
