Easy to say when it's not you faced with the problem, and when it's the entire corrupt US administration stacked against you.

Love when @hankgreen.bsky.social makes a video screaming what I have screaming in my head. It's good to not feel so alone.

Give me a single reason why Sora2 should exist.

Because the people you'd be exposing would have you killed, were they to identify you. It'd be a huge risk to take

absolutely nothing discredits “longtermism” more than how much of these freaks are only belatedly realizing how much of a mistake it was to bandwagon with Trump

Also, yes, there is only matter etc. We ourselves are robots. Consciousness is an observer, a byproduct, it doesn't (can't!) have any form of influence over matter.

We are still *vastly* more sophisticated robots than LLMs are. We're not even in the same category space. It's not even close.

Hahaha, oh boy do you need to improve your understanding of *so many* things.

You can *claim* you "reject the idea of magic" yet you also think AI is ~magic and is *actually* "artificial intelligence", to the degree that being "anti-AI" is as bad as being anti-vax, which is fucking nonsense.

They take the "everyone" in the general (and otherwise commendable) ethos "on this side of politics we care about everyone equally" *waaaay* too far.

You know the part where you called yourself dumb? That explains everything. It's that part. That part is the significance, the rate determining step, if you will.

Token prediction algorithms are not people, and the same goes in reverse.

This whole "you can't prove it's *not* sentient!" angle the most devoted AI fanboys are running with... How do they not realise they're just willing themselves into a cult/religion? It's the exact same shit those things use to try to gain unfalsifiability.

Same, that's why I stuck those scare quotes around "to" - but it might still be a red flag if someone regularly enjoys berating chatgpt or whatever.

There's "ai fanboys" and grifters then there's whatever this person is. The David Koresh of LLMs. The Jim Jones of LLMs.

This is called "doing a irony" and it's very funny/sad

it’s incredible to see the types of posts being made by people who are very confident about their knowledge in these threads

It's fun how generating stuff with existing IP for "memes" is the only mainstream use of all this nonsense, but all the AI companies have to pretend it's the very underpinnings of the future of all society. Take away existing IP and there's barely a "there" there at all.

Tricking your IRC chums into crashing their computers by typing a normal-looking URL, [Ctrl+K]0,0 or whatever it was to switch to white text on white bg, then adding .on.nimps.org to the end, sending it, and waiting for them to fall offline. #bants
