Science Magazine @science.org · 25/09/2026Can the new cutting-edge AI models feel pain? They at least behave as if they do, according to a recent study. The work, which has not been peer reviewed, has divided #AI researchers. scim.ag/4hHU6BA 6837415

mjfgates @mjfgates.bsky.social · 26/09/2026↪ Replying to @davidpattie.bsky.socialThe AI is so much smarter than humans; where can we possibly find peers for it? In the meantime, bow down, bow down, before the glory of Claudeta! 1950

Greg Tuck @gregwa.bsky.social · 26/09/2026↪ Replying to @davidpattie.bsky.socialI have zero intention of reading it but the philosopher @stevecooke.org who did posted that "two of the authors operate out of AI thinktanks opaquely funded by philanthropic donations (i.e. tech-bros), they used chatbots to help write it," which adds further reasons to question its value. 2454

Natanael, Tech janitor @natanael.bsky.social · 26/09/2026↪ Replying to @davidpattie.bsky.socialDolls faked pain decades ago. There's no logical reason to look at these circuits and assume anything in there represents pain. They have no structures resembling pain centers, no amygdala, no signaling path for pain, no inhibition reflexes attached. It's just roleplay, mimicry of pain. 0100
