Serious question

our brains are probably analog computers

Funny because it is actually true.
Epilepsy (to some extent), anger and frustration are all valid responses to confusion and/or overwhelming situations, and they happen to avoid us getting stuck in loops, no matter how illogical the outcome.

We're all in an accidental, infinite loop.

It's life.

Autism, schizophrenia, epilepsy... our minds do have errors, just not all of them.

So we just have to teach computers to get angry when get stuck in a loop

>Why don't human brains ever get stuck in an infinite loop?

Eat 500mcg of acid then smoke a bunch of synthetic cannabis and make this thread again.

I'd add "fainting" to the list.
And nervous nosebleeds.

>destroy your brain then make this thread again.
No wonder your brain would get into an infinite loop, computers are just shitty brains.

And this is why any AI developed enough will go haywire and conquer humanity.

simple: it has a watch dog

Because everyone who got stuck like this, got fucked up by evolution?

so all we have to do is feed some computers to tigers and all will be solved

For the rest of the discussion, none of you are talking about infinite loops, you are talking about repetitive behavior, there is a massive difference. An infinite loop requires manual intervention. Something that CAN end by itself is not an infinite loop.

Parallel processing is its natural mode and

I can have mental overloads, losing control over thoughts, what means amount and intensity of thoughts keep increasing. In the end I'm completely blocked, impossible do anything but sitting and waiting the chaos to stop. Takes hours and in the end I'm completely exhausted.

>Why don't human brains ever get stuck in an infinite loop?
Computers don't either. The sun won't be patient forever. When you understand why computers don't run forever, you'll understand why brains don't either.

Refractory period in neurons? Homeostasis?

The brain exists in an infinite loop of existence.

clearly you've never been very high

It actually does go into infinite loops fairly often, that's what many of our strongest emotional reactions basically are. However, it incorporates intelligent multithreading capabilities so it won't ever completely "crash", instead at the worst you'll focus on that one thing for a while but eventually switch to something else. Modern computer operating systems do this as well, if a program gets stuck in a loop the operating system will usually realize something is wrong and kill the process so it doesn't freeze the whole computer.

An infinite loop requires EXTERNAL intervention, not necessarily MANUAL intervention.

A digital computer is composed of transisters which take only one type of input, and are limited in their output to one or zero.

Exactly what the basic unit of biological consciousness is, we don't know. It could be composed of layers from the atom up, building in complexity.

Exactly what creates a unitary consciousness is unknown - why one mind per body? Why voices, and hallucinatory people? If mind and matter are synonymous, how can there be a private theater inside your head - are your thoughts true photographic reflections of physical reality?

I've experienced the sensation of an eternal loop. Once you notice it, it never leaves - everything is obviously part of this repeating pattern.

I'd say we are stuck in an infinite loop.

I suppose the closest we come to it is OCD.
Obviously not "infinite" loops, but it's also not like that bit of code ever goes away. Those people can only manage symptoms.

You are all stuck on an infinite loop though. You wake up each day feeling tired and spend your waking hours shitposting on Veeky Forums and browsing the web. Maybe if you're feeling ambitious you'll watch some tv show or movie. By nightfall you'll tell yourself tomorrow will be the day where you start working hard, where you start to actually live your life. Your up all night feeling guilty about wasting another day and you think about all that wasted time. You could have learned something, got good at something but alas you are an adult with no real skills. Your maybe in your late teens or your twenties but you feel like an old man. You finally go to sleep only to wake up and shit post once more. You feel no motivation and you'll wake up one day old and alone with nothing to show for your life except your knowledge of memes, all your memories are funny greentexts of things that others did and porn was you're lifes intimacy.

This is the best answer

Addiction is literally repeating something that due to biochemical feedback loops reinforcing behavior biases, so the behavior repeats over and over again

if evolution is correct then in theory we could repeatedly rearrange the code of computer software randomly and eventually it'll work

that actually took me a couple minutes

Yes, that is correct. And it works.
