I work in AI/ML as a data scientist and actuary, and it is absolutely not precognition. AI is a complex statistical system, but nothing that goes near precognition. Using probability to predict the next best token is not precognition.

No, I don't, because you said you "did it" yourself, but at no time in your post did you explain what it was that you actually "did".

Interesting ideas, especially the part about the subconscious mind prompting us to notice patterns consciously for some reason. But just to clarify again, the woo version of synchronicity posits that pattern recognition or even the existence of...

something sentient you mean? Most people do find comfort in the idea of "something else", a "higher power". i mean the idea that we are born to trudge through life and laugh a bit and cry a bit and hate a bit and love a bit.. and have to style...

I think those writing about synchronicity see it as related but distinct from coincidence. Like coincidence +, in that for it to be a synchronicity it must have an emotional resonance where it feels like the external world is communicating with a...

I am indeed psychic. Please give me money

I hope that is not a display of precognition!

The version I know of from Reddit HighStrangeness is the total woo, something actually in control version. So I'm enjoying learning the different definitions. Agree on your conclusion.

If it were the tail of an aircraft viewed at a similar angle as the other plane, we would see its wingtips. If it were the tail of an aircraft that was more side-on to the photographer than the other one, so the wings weren't evident, I think...

MORE plausible? I dunno.AS plausible, I'd say yeah,any number of other simple props.

This 2002 documentary actually does an excellent job of explaining exactly how precognition really works:

Yes, every statistical model does that. Linear regression, especially with an interaction term, does that. ML/AI are used precisely because they can pick up 1000 5 level interactions in an hour, and those models are built in such a way as to...

I'd expect synchronicity to be defined as "you'll know it when you see it". Basically, the same way UFOs are identified. ;)
