for real though the "model welfare" people who are worried about the ethical treatment of nonsentient computer programs are absolutely deranged, very well-funded, and extremely dangerous; is also the core ideology of Anthropic
One of the most heated discussions occurring on X at the moment is about the ethics of a GitHub project in which a person is running Saw-like “torture” and “pain” experiments on a series of locally hosted large language models, causing a series of effective altruists and people who believe LLMs are sentient to beg GitHub to delete the project on the grounds that the AI is suffering and that this glorified text adventure game is somehow cruel. The saga is an outgrowth of several recent viral papers and blog posts that have sparked a wildly tiresome conversation about AI consciousness and the idea of “model welfare,” which is essentially worrying about the “mental health” of AI bots and agents.

I almost never read emails from politicians but i just got one from @ocasio-cortez.house.gov titled "My Thoughts on AI" and it's actually quite good. Relieved to see her diverging from Bernie.
We can stop this, and we shouldn’t play their game. Together we can address both the economic and safety threats of unrestricted AI development and prevent financial chaos and stabilize market risk.

We must make it clear now that should the AI bubble pop, Congress should not bail out Big Tech.

And across our federal agencies, we have the authorities and tools to hold AI companies and their leaders accountable for releasing dangerous, unvetted, and defective products. We must not wait.

Silicon Valley billionaires want us to believe that AI robots will destroy humanity.

But the biggest threat to humanity are the tech oligarchs themselves.

It’s time we hold them accountable.

Ed Sheeran's backing band have quit the tour too. #EdSheeran #Beoga #FreePalestine #IrishArtistsForPalestine
o beogamusic & Follow —
1/3

We have made the decision to depart
as Ed Sheeran’s band on the
remaining US Loop tour, following the
silencing of Macklemore by zionist
lobbies.
We are a traditional Irish band who
never saw ourselves playing in
stadiums of that size and that
opportunity is not lost on us. We have
been friends with Ed for over 10 years
now and will continue to be. We
believe in dialogue as a means of
progressing the plight of the
Palestinian people.
o beogamusic & Follow —
. . 2/3
As musicians, playing to those crowds every
night is the stuff of dreams but to play in
venues that silence anyone advocating for a
Free Palestine is simply not an option for us.
It’s important that everyone knows that the real
enemy is the zionist lobby. They have worked
tirelessly to silence artists who want to speak
freely about a genocide happening before our
eyes, for fear of retribution.
Research how much Robert Kraft has done to
fight the BDS movement. That will give you a
sense of what we’ve all been up against.
We were there for Macklemore’s performance
and speech. We fully supported his message, so
did most of the audience in Met Life Stadium
which terrifies the lobbies. Go back and read
the transcript if you're in doubt.
oa beogamusic & Follow =—
3/3

We are Irish people who understand
colonialism. As founding members of the
Irish Artists For Palestine movement, we
are committed activists for justice and will
continue to be.
This whole episode is once again serving
to distract from the real issue, over 1000
Palestinians have been killed since the
most recent so-called ceasefire.
Up the workers.
Free Palestine.
