    Fun fact: this is kinda how our brain stores long term episodic memories. We just remember details and recreate it from our understanding of the world.

    Also a fun fact: our memories are notoriously inaccurate, untrustworthy, and prone to bias.

        No, they just have faulty memories of it that are heavily influenced by their later recallings of it. Reminiscing about it often will color it with beliefs and understandings that they didn’t have originally, making them even more inaccurate than more recent ones. For example, my current memories of reading and watching Harry Potter are all sour, even though they were probably quite positive at the time.

        On the other hand, if one never actively recalls something, the memory is more likely to be pruned into mere fragments or lost forever. However, having no memory of childhood probably has more to do with the brain actively suppressing conscious recollection.

        Regardless, even things we no longer remember still cause ripples in how we think. The memory might be gone, but the understandings and skills we gained still remain. We don’t remember learning to talk, but that time was very influential on how we use language for the rest of our lives.

        “Lying” implies they know it’s not true. Most of the time they completely believe it. Much of the time many of the details are correct anyway.

    I’d like to place my head next to a door jamb and have someone slam it closed repeatedly until the latch clicks

      From what I can tell this is satirical it seems to have been made sometime today. It was posted on Reddit and Twitter a few hours before it was posted here

    You all don’t understand how high tech this is, this is literally quantum compression. You compress your image, and when you go to uncompress it, the algorithm randomly selects one possible variation of that image from the quantum multiverse and pulls it into your universe! Truly a marvel of engineering!

    I once told a waiter what I wanted to eat and their AI in the kitchen was able to produce it beautifully. Just from my prompting!
