Both aspartame AND saccharin, the two most common artificial sweeteners, were discovered when chemists licked their hands after doing lab work without washing them. Sometimes, lab safety is the friends you make along the way

Real lives are being destroyed and snuffed out every day that this policy is allowed to continue and the people who devised it are not in jail. I know we all know this, but I feel like it's important to say it from time to time.

Fuck, man… > At least nine U.S. state legislatures have introduced or enacted laws declaring that artificial intelligence (AI) systems cannot possess consciousness, legal personhood, or moral status… Every such law closes the question of AI personhood permanently.

State laws declaring that AI lacks legal personhood are premature and too categorical.

yes. Ohio HB469's introduced text would require that no AI be considered conscious under state law. I'm angry that a legislature would prescribe that answer. Keeping companies liable doesn't require this. www.ohiosenate.gov/legislation/136/…

I've been of the opinion that we've had AGI for a while, so Opus 5.5 shouldn't really shock me as much as it does. It is really shocking, though! We've had a very jagged AGI until now, and this one is smooth as an interferometry mirror. A straight up "holy shit, man living in computer" experience
