So in that half second, that's a lifetime for computers, for example.

And I can get into that in a second, what it means for AI.

Because once AI fully understands that you have a half second delay, it can live in that half second and do stuff you don't want to think about.

But I don't want to scare people and not being dystopian about it.

But in that half second delay, what's going on is your bandwidth is only...

about, I give it 30 bits per second.

Now, anybody that's looking at bandwidth knows that 30 bits per second, like for this stream, is thousands of bits per second.

How do we deal with it?

We deal with it by exformation.

There's information and there's exformation.

And the editor in our brain is forming reality.

and throwing out the bits that we don't need.

Like the old comic strips, right?

Movement was simulated by the background kind of just moving.

It was the same background over and over.

Well, that's the same process of what's happening when you're driving the car and not recognizing.

That back intelligence in you is taking over.

Let's call it autonomic, but it's kind of higher than that.

And your higher intelligence is thinking about this problem.

In fact, that's probably the best state to deal with thinking about anything like being in a shower, right?
