They're training muscle memory and habits.

Train something a 1000 times and you will be better than if you only trained twice.

It's one of the biggest mysteries of existence.

Some theories include:

It is a fundamental part of the brain and is a natural process within the brain.

Another theory is it originates outside the brain, outside of the physical world. Our brain taps into it like a radio taps into radiowaves.

Another theory is everything is consciousness and we are all existing within consciousness.

To this day we have no scientific evidence for how consciousness arises.

oh sweet summer child

is there any job in that field that doesn't require just sitting behind a computer all day? I'm doing comp sci but now realize i hate the idea of a desk job and programming all day.

I once saw a government data science job that required some field work to collect data and study reef and coral systems for conservation. But it's rare to see jobs like that on the job boards.

I knew nothing about planes before I started, now i know a lot of the fundamentals. Still couldn't fly irl but if I was in a small plane and the pilot passed out, I'd be more confident in landing after playing the sim because i at least know the fundamentals

it does take some research and googling on your own, the sim usually wont teach you much

we havent even cracked the hard problem of consciousness and people be thinking they can upload their mind to computers. Most likely such a thing isn't even physically possible at all.
