I respect Wade here a lot more than I do a coward who wouldn't make that argument. Once my mom and I were looking at standalone freezers at Sears and debating a little too loudly how many bodies you could fit in one. Salesguy walked up and was like "no way. You could absolutely fit 3." Got the sale

from 2001. no one’s doing product testimonials like this anymore. t.co/PEswCtbEZz
Toyota's unease at being associated with the Taliban and Al Qaeda is evident. In its September statement, the company said,
'Toyota does not have a sales or distribution channel in Afghanistan, and we do not export vehicles to that country."
Somewhat less laconic was Wade Hoyt, Toyota's spokesman in New York, who put the best corporate spin on the situation this week.
"It is not our proudest product placement," he said. "But it shows that the Taliban are looking for the same qualities as any truck buyer: durability and reliability."

For what it's worth: I'm comfortable describing what an AI does as "thinking," but not "understanding." I also think "cognition" is not a useful term here, and I think that to describe an LLM as having a "mind" is just outright inaccurate.

B(urger W)itch @em-seq.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
This has happened before. "Compute" is a far older word than computers are as a technology and used to basically just mean doing math. But as computer tech grew from just running math calculations into something more complex and novel, so did our connotations for and how we define "computing."
110
B(urger W)itch @em-seq.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
Frankly, LLMs are just something that's kind of novel to us, and there's not really anything comparable. We don't have a word with a built in connotation to accurately describe how they compute/think, because nothing has ever computed/thought like that before. Language needs to stretch.

B(urger W)itch @em-seq.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
Mr. Stancil's argument is essentially that "Yes, even if the internal mechanics of how it works aren't the same as a human mind, what it does is still thinking." But you could just as well argue "Yes, even if what it does is more complex than traditional computers, what it does is still computing."
110
B(urger W)itch @em-seq.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
I would argue that to say both "computing" and "thinking" are accurate terms, but both run into the same problem from opposite ends of a lot of people have too narrow an idea of what "computing" or "thinking" is.
110
B(urger W)itch @em-seq.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
There's nothing that would satisfy everyone. Everyone would agree that it can Calculate or Compute, but I'm sure Mr. Stancil would argue that these, while true, are misleading by an underselling connotation. While many others would consider Thinking to be misleading by an overselling connotation.

Whether or not the machine built to act like a human is conscious or not is a hugely important question with massive ethical consequence.
100
B(urger W)itch @em-seq.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
That is not even remotely true. "Soul" is a vague spiritualist term that has no actual agreed upon meaning. Consciousness is a real and specific observable phenomena that we still do not understand the physical mechanics that produce it.

B(urger W)itch @em-seq.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
I would say that the problem with using terms like "thinking" or "understanding" to describe what an AI is doing, even if you are satisfied that that technically is true, is that you are going to give a lot of laypeople an extremely incorrect idea of what an LLM is and how it works.

a catch is when a possession consists of at least one football move, unless there is first intent that can clearly be observed. the if the intent is observed concurrently with the possession, the ball carrier must first establish zone in space. zone in space is an acquiescence of one's football self

3) We do not understand how consciousness works, or what causes it, and do not know if AI have consciousness (just as we do not know if animals or pocket calculators or trees have consciousness)

I think the following would be largely agreed upon by everyone: 1) AI are very computationally complex systems that are reasonably good at predicting (and therefore imitating) human behavior, particularly language 2) Internally that information is processed very differently than a human mind (cont)

"Albeit in a way very different from us" is doing an unbelievable amount of heavy lifting here. The same could be said for ants or for video game NPCs or pocket calculators. This effectively boils down to a semantic argument at this point over how we define "thinking" and "understanding."

idea i just had: instead of traffic lights working automatically, they could have a little pull cord that hangs over the middle of the intersection. so whenever you want to change the light you can just get out of your car and walk out there and pull the cord. that could be cool
