One thing that interests me as a NEET are people who can dedicate long hours towards a hobby.

Does anyone know of any youtube channels, blogs, etc. where the author does this?

I'm talking about 10 hours a day and consistent.

I'm not talking about 10 hours a day, only on weekends.

I'm not talking about someone who's "passionate", but only 2-3 hours a day.

Time spent is the most important thing for me.

I really like this type of obsessive behavior.

If anyone knows anything like this please post it in this thread.

Terry A. Davis is a schizo that made his own OS which he (now) calls TempleOS.
He considers it to be the 3rd temple of God and also thinks he can talk to god through pseudo-random numbers.

He livestreams for several hours a day on his youtube channel.
Unfortunately he has become a /g/ meme so expect raiders in his chat.

I found this guy, he tries to beat every NES game. He's done over 600 so far, some games took 50 hours, and seems to do long 16 hour streams where he just plays 1 game throughout frequently.

Frank Nora's Overnightscape project. (onsug.com)

This is a guy who's been making podcasts and audio recordings for years, where he talks about random stuff, talks while he's going to work, talks about his dreams, looks at items in stores and talks about them, just talking about anything. It's very relaxing. Also audio collages and a lot of other weird projects.

There are other contributors to the project now but Frank personally has amassed several months' worth of audio of himself. It may not be 10 hours a day but it's definitely in that league of activity, and I think it's a lot more interesting than somebody who just plays videogames all day.

True, they practice an incredible amount of time every day.

Valentina Lisitsa is a pianist who became very famous on YouTube in these last years, and claims to practice up to 14 hours a day. Fans not believing her, she proceeded to stream herself, at the time on livestream.com.

>OS development
I used to browse http://forum.osdev.org/ just to read those guys discussing about low level programming and to watch the screenshots of their barebone OSes.

Then there are all those other hobbist programmers who spend their entire life developing a single software, like game engines, etc. If they're not actually writing code everyday, they still are always in the forum board talking with the community.

I'm also fascinated by people with weird hobbies / interests.

I like to study evolutionary psychology, economics, genetics and artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence is the only salvation for people, it is of the utmost importance priority, because this is the only way to acquire free will and beat darwinism and human nature.

Artificial intelligence and transhumanism are fields the highest virtue, the possibility to erase the root of all evil, for the individual to finally win against the selfish genes, to win against sin.

I'm about to begin a 15 hour a day programming routine for at least 6 months until I've mastered how to make games inside out. Then I'll be easily able to make whatever game I want without needing anyone's help. I already know various programming languages but not at an expert level where I could make anything with ease.

I'll update this thread in a few months when I've made some significant progress.

This is exactly the type of post I was worried about people making when I made this thread. You haven't done anything yet and you've actually deluded yourself into thinking you can do 15 hours a day. It's been a week since you've made this post and I doubt you did 15 hours even a single day. You probably averaged 4 hours a day if you didn't already give up by this point. People like you have no sense of what dedication actually is.

Yes, the only way to acquire free will is by using your(I assume you don't believe in free will in humans) non-free will to create an artifical intelligence(which couldn't have free will, as it's actions would depend on pre-programmed notions). Lol

A.I is supposed to think for themselves they are not calculators. Also, In a sense genetics and environment also preprograms humans trains of thoughts and actions.
Anyhow, I think what he meant with his post that to eradicate humans genetic impulses so people would be more free to make choices other than competing and dominating each other in order to breed.

 No.38049

>>38042

The AI will work entirely on a different level, the idea is to be unbounded from the genes instincts as we have now and replace with something else entirely.

When I mean free will, is the capability to change it's core pre-programmed codes and set emergency codes as back-up, and then adapt to new ones. It's not the loss of pre-programmed codes, but the ability to mutate them as one wishes to other codes, we as humans have fixed, unchangeable codes.

If it goes wrong and the AI self-destructs, understands wrongly or loses its will to take action due to no programmed urges, then whatever, let it implode or kill everything.

Found this random guy on Youtube:

He streams himself studying, often 12 hour sessions multiple times per week.

Pretty motivating to see someone be pretty consistent with 12 hour studying sessions.

Not sure you coun't this as hobby but I have a nearly complete old world of darkness book collection, with only few novels, mini adventures that come with gm screens etc missing. One day, or month, I want to sit and read all of it, every official book, from 1991 to 2004 and maybe even move on to 20th anniversary books. I don't play tabletop rpg, I don't have a group but I like to read about them. Still its far easy to collect books than to read

Might seem like a normie, he even has a wife and kids, but he has streamed every single day for over 1500 days. As in literally not missing a single day, and most days streams for a significant period of time. You can say things like "well yeah if you have a lot of viewers and are getting a lot of money of course you would", but at the same time what do you spend your money on if you just stream all day. Yeah it's not the best example, but thought I'd post it anyway. Good work ethic.

>AI as a way to have free will.
Seems strange as the whole point of AI is that it is an understandable, built process that works in very predictable mechanistic ways.
If you think the human soul cannot have free will, even though it runs off the diverse mechanisms of the brain, how can something that runs off of logic gates have free will?

I'm not sure why but I really love listening to recordings of internet radio from the early 00s.
It seems like there was a brief fad of niche internet radio stations, especially around 2004. It must have became pretty affordable, I'd even describe it as the 'wild west' of what would later be called 'podcasting'. Everything from Satanism to neonazi skinheads, with surprisingly interesting discussions.
Currently listening to a 9/11 24 hour live stream by Satanist recorded in 2003:

Neural networks are just calculus. Backprogagating a neural network is essentially just applying the chain rule to a matrix over and over again. The end result is each synapse's weight value being adjusted to reduce an error value (getting shit wrong). We make the network more efficient by changing nodes or activation functions or whatever, but really we're just modifying the structure of the function we want to find to be better suited for our data.

PiroPito does a few different things on his channel, but he puts a huge amount of work into all of them. He's most well known for making username: 666 in 2008, but he's been uploading ever since. He's got more horror videos (the latest one, My house walkthrough, has a cool making-of video), a series about his ant colony, and recently a series where he plays minecraft without any "spoilers" (watch from the beginning, just avoid the comments).

Seeing that there are people on the planet that have actually thought of the idea of doing something for 15 hours is very mind blowing concept for myself.

I can feel myself being silly but really I would study for two hours non stop and think that was such a burden and stress yet someone can do a hobby for so long?

I used to play the violin for two hours a day everyday and complained and whinged and bitched and people are out there doing it for so much longer?

Maybe my concept of time usage is wrong perhaps.

I just don’t understand how people can be so focussed on something for so long without thinking about something else or having an existential crisis or needing to lay down and waste time browsing YouTube or something like I do.

It makes me feel like a waste of space because I don’t do that but that seems really hard.

Maybe one day I can truely find a hobby I can spend many hours enjoying maybe not 15 but yeah.
Makes me think maybe I’m wasting my life lying down and watching YouTube but I enjoy it so much I feel conflicted.

When I was in school I'd skip class to study 9+ hours a day. I want to return to that mindset, but deciding what to focus on is difficult when it means abandoning everything else. I had the idea of dividing my time into "seasons", something like dedicate 2 months to mathematics, then 2 months to evolutionary biology, then 2 months to urban exploration etc., and if there are skills I can't afford to drop I can create "festivals", like every wednesday is the meditation festival or something.

You don't "get" a hobby. It grows out of you. You can nurture it in various ways but ultimately you can't make yourself become interested in something. The best thing you can do it look at things you know you like, and then examine similar things to try and form a hobby.

Like anime? Try making gunpla. Like gunpla? Move on to garage kits.

Like listening to music? Try an instrument. Suck at instruments? Try composition.

Also some things you just need to take a plunge into. Try sculpting, painting, reading, take walks, visit museums. Hopefully something clicks and you find what you like.
