  • Lawlessness in Pakistan has gotten out of control. Some of the political parties (TLP for instance, they brought the whole country to halt when courts lawfully decided to absolve asia bibi (another blasphemy case)) that support this kind of justice were installed/supported by the military to undermine the then democratic government (PTI).

    There was similar propaganda done when the military decided to align themselves with china and away from the US influence. Basically, it’s a lot easier to control people with this kind of mindset.

    In pakistan, the military always portrays themselves as muslims first and have integrated islam in their image and then they intentionally force law enforcement actions against individuals like this until they are no longer useful to them.

    If want to look up some mafia level shit on how they do some of this stuff, look up raftar channel on yt (dunno if it is available in english), but i can tell you he doesn’t even go into the bad stuff.

    Not quite, in order to have a technology you need methods, materials and society needs to be ready for the tech.

    I recently learned that 50 years ago someone filed a patent for solar panels with more than 20% efficiency and the us government was like yeah its too revolutionary so you can’t sell this nor tell anyone about this unless it is US military. Imagine we all could have had >20% solar panels 50 years ago, even today we are only marginally above 20% efficiency.

    Another example, would be the company who made the iPhone like device well before iPhone but the market wasn’t ready.

    Another example that is fucked up. Governments are starting to restrict AI for consumers but also using AI to kill children in Gaza.

    I’m pretty sure a lot early doctors were also burned at stakes because they were called witches or smth.









  • I meant changing the outcome because you saw something in the dream.

    I don’t think the future is fully determined. Just some parts have to be because of our actions. I have some theories:

    Theory 1: maybe the universe is like a machine, and while it gives the impression that everything is possible, reality is that some outcomes are just not possible due to some limitation. Kinda like a game, you can have infinitely many possibilities of actions in an open world game but still there will be some options not possible because you choose some action at the start.

    Theory 2: maybe there really is someone who controls what happens in this universe. Like our dream is the announcement that something will happen but the enforcement happens later. And the exact nature of the enforcement depends on our and everybody else’s actions. In other words it is not decided what will happen but whatever happen will not go against the dream. We just dont know what other things could have happened given a dream.

    Of Course nobody knows the true nature, and we can only guess and ponder about it.


  • I always thought it was my head messing with me until i started telling my friend about it. And then they still come true and at least she knows that it is not my memories being faulty.

    Have you ever tried changing the outcome? I feel like if we were to try this would cause a paradox and then we wouldn’t get the dream in the first place.

    I have thought about changing the outcome but I always come to the conclusion that it wouldn’t be me if i did it. Like if i saw myself avoiding someone then it usually is that person does something later that i would avoid them anyways.

    Really interesting stuff but yeah most people wouldn’t believe us which is understandable.


  • For me they briefly stopped but then started happening like crazy. But for me it is usually related to people around me like i dreamt about a boy playing in my house, turns out my sister was pregnant with a boy. She didn’t know the gender and i live in a different country so i never knew she was pregnant. She said she wanted to give me some important news. I said i already knew and then told my mom the gender of the baby.

    One interesting thing that i have noticed, sometimes video in the dream doesn’t match when it comes true but audio matches more often, do you also feel this?










  • The real question is whether or not it is legal. Theoretically it is possible to do with current tech. If i was making such a tool, i would need access to the ebook then pass it through a llm model (possibly with a 7b open source one) to tag which characters are saying what. Once i have tagged dialogues then I could pass it through elevenlabs or other opensource tts and voila you have an audiobook with different voices.

    The real problem is that opensource tts aren’t as good and i imagine if you use paid versions, you will encounter legal issues or it might be too expensive. And can you sell your audio book? Legal troubles again.

    But if you just wanna do it while sailing the high seas, everything should be possible.
