Please, define 'sentient'. 😉
#Work is really a curse.
It keeps #accumulating, no matter how much effort you put on it.
Then I decided to create an archive for "all the things I will never be able to do."
Well, guess what... That's more work.
So, I decided to quit and keep doing as usual - meaning, #postponing indefinitely some things *I should do*.
But I'm really #curious about how you're dealing with this. 😅

New 📄: Rights for Those Who Unwillingly, Unknowingly and Unidentifiably Compute!
People's devices are silently co-opted for collective computation which promises data confidentiality. But what happens when ppl don't agree with the computation's ends? https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/4ugxd 🧵
> Since Pines' Demon is predicted to play an important role in a wide range of phenomena, such as #transitions in particular kinds of #semimetals and #superconductivity , the work has important implications for material #physics .
> Usually in science, a "demon" is a hypothetical opponent for scientists and philosophers to argue against in a thought experiment, but Pines' Demon is quite different.
It's actually a type of #plasmon – a discrete unit of waves among rippling through a population of electrons . Plasmons have been described as the #quantum analogue of an #acoustic sound in a classical gas.
