"burning books" is oppression when done by authorities because they burn ALL the copies making it impossible for anyone to access that knowledge like the nazis did to information about research about gender diversity

are you under the impression that trans people burning copies of Rowlings books in protest would make it impossible for anyone to find copies of those books to read?

A similar dystopia shows up in James P. Hogan's "Voyage from Yesteryear". Hogan: "This is a post-scarcity anarchist space utopia." Readers: "Okay." Hogan: "Everyone carries guns everywhere and the suspicion of an offense is punished by summary execution." Readers: "What."

The internet says that’s “a German saying, since WW2”. I have no source, even if it makes sense. What I *have* heard my German friends say is: “the only argument a Nazi understands comes in 9mm”.

That is exactly what we are discussing here: the claim that a LLM feels pain and can be abused itself and not just used as a tool to abuse others. LLMs do not understand what facts are, not do they care about what facts mean. Their "apologies" for "mistakes" are coded & not actual sorrow.

We don't know the requirements for intelligence and can't rule out sentient software as a possibility. What we can say is that this most definitely isn't it (nor anywhere close). I'd be astonished if it can be done without quantum computing but we do not know.

In other words, it is the job of scientists to devise experiments that can test their claims, to always be cautious abt what they are claiming, and to critically evaluate the claims of other scientists. By these well-established standards, no serious science is happening behind Anthropic's claims.

It's the job of the media to scrutinize such statements and decide whether there's a story here at all (maybe the story is Anthropic researchers have fallen into a fantasy-land and brought many policymakers with them), not to just platform them. >>

And pain and the capacity to feel it it have been linked to moral capacities in racialised populations. Which brings us full circle back to Sylvia Wynter as we ask who the human subject of human rights is; what claims we’re making on moral capacity and humanity when we claim machines feel pain.

Day 11 of Auctober! Self-accommodating is something I've had to learn isn't shameful. I suck at tying shoe laces, so I stopped wearing shoes with laces. Now getting my shoes on is a breeze! I can't balance on a bike, so I started riding a trike. Now I actually get to enjoy cycling around! #auctober

A one panel comic titled Auctober and subtitled Self-Accommodation.
Text on the top says "You don't have to have shoe laces if tying them is too difficult." Text at the bottom says "There's no shame in self-accommodating."
In the middle, Honeydew lifts up their foot, reaches down, and pulls on a hoop on the back of their laceless shoe so they can slip it on.

Day 10 of Auctober! Neurodiversity was coined as a term of inclusion, not exclusion. Is your brain wired differently than what's typical? Congrats! You fit perfectly under this wide umbrella labelled Neurodivergent! Let's not gatekeep something that was meant to help people feel included #auctober

A one panel comic titled "Auctober" and subtitled "Neurodiversity".
A yellow bucket labelled "Neurodivergent" sits at the bottom of the panel. Several raindrops come down into the bucket. The raindrops are labelled "Autism, bipolar, plurality, ADHD, dyslexia, epilepsy, Tourettes, OCD, Depression, dyscalculia, down syndrome, anxiety, Williams syndrome, BPD, schizophrenia."

Day 9 of Auctober! I have my theory as to why autistic people are more likely to be queer. My thought is that we tend to care less about societal norms, so we're less likely to hide in the closet like neurotypicals tend to do. #auctober

A one panel comic titled "Auctober" and subtitled "Queer".
Honeydew cheerfully holds two flags. One is the nonbinary flag, with yellow, white, purple and black stripes, and the other is the demi-aroace flag, with a black triangle, and white, purple, green and grey stripes.
Honeydew says "Autistic people are statistically more likely to be queer than the general population."
