Right?
It could.
So that would make it high entropy.
So it would be more chaotic from a purely physical perspective.
But when you plug a TV monitor or a computer monitor into that hard drive, it becomes...
It gives it meaning.
You have the video files or the documents or whatever it is on there.
Yes.
Yeah, because the computer monitor kind of Acts like a consciousness.
Yes to transcribing the the physical raw data into meaning meaning Yes into knowledge I would say so
What happens when you erase that hard drive?
If it's bound by the laws of thermodynamics and entropy always goes up and there's net energy can only be transferred, right?
Something has to leave that hard drive, right?
It's just interesting.
Hear me out and comment or not, but it's just interesting to me that this idea has been proposed to me that if you crack open a hard drive... Well, first of all, if...
the information on the hard drive could, and there's a gentleman who actually published this theory.
His name was Rolf Landauer.
Not familiar with the work.
He said he did an equation that all the mass on all the datas on all the hard drives and server farms throughout the world right now is like, if we had the tools to accurately measure and weigh the mass, it would equal like a kilogram of mass.
But he said it would equal mass.
