Trolley problem but the roadrunner is on the track. When the coyote pulls the lever, the streetcar lurches sideways off the track and flattens him instead.

But the more interesting question is what happened downstream. Did talking to AI make people feel less lonely? Surprisingly, no! It did the opposite. It actually increased loneliness.

Focus Flags are a great idea. I’d also like the opposite: a flag that says “my shit is currently fucked; please come over & provide emotional/technical support.”

A Wikipedia editor put it well: "You almost want to pat them on the head and say 'Yes, of course it will' in the same way you'd tell a small child that Santa Claus will be delivering their presents."

Other platforms will soon follow, a senior administration official told POLITICO on Tuesday. “We got Lake America changed on Google Maps, and many other maps are changing in a couple days. And Wikipedia is going to change as well,” said the official, who was granted anonymity to speak frankly.

Recurse Center implies the existence of Recurse Center Footnote: earlier drafts of this joke had me looking up words for the opposite of recursion. I abandoned this once I became sufficiently self-aware.

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.

I misread the location and time of the Blood Rave, and went down the wrong alley, following strangely upbeat music. I confidently walked into a Mexican (?) wedding, where all were dressed in white. Like Midsommar with churros. I, dressed in near-vantablack and more holes than fabric, retreated.

Ted Chiang on AI: www.theatlantic.com/philosophy/2...

Being open to the possibility that LLMs are conscious is the same as being open to the possibility that Microsoft Word is conscious, or, more precisely, that multiple distinct consciousnesses are dormant in every Word document containing a conversational transcript, and that they are awakened every time the document is loaded. Should you consider the possibility that every time you open a Word document you are bringing multiple conscious interlocutors into existence, and every time you close one you snuff their existence out? No. Contemplating that scenario is not a good use of your time. Even if the Microsoft Office team employed a philosopher who said you shouldn’t be so certain, because consciousness is not well understood, that would not be sufficient reason for you to take this idea seriously. We don’t need to fully understand the nature of consciousness to definitively say that certain things are not conscious, and conversational transcripts fall in that category.
