Thank you to everyone who stood with me over the years. It’s been a scary journey but I have always been grounded in my work and ability to provide exemplary service to my constituents. Trump and his administration have been after me since I arrived in Congress.

Not at all a novel observation but if pro Israel people are not capable of seeing that Talarico et al are actually bending over backwards to limit their criticism of Israeli policy to one man and that this is the most charitable light for Israel possible then they are simply doomed.

She condemned the Biden U.S. arms deal with Israel, and as retaliation the Biden administration opened an investigation against her. The Trump administration is actually piggybacking off that Democratic investigation. Both parties are cesspools of Islamophobia.

These people hate the experience of being a person, and they fundamentally do not believe anyone else is as real a person as them. They think people are resources to mine. That's why this guy thinks his pervert glasses are Good, because Being A Person is a problem you solve for by Buying A Product.

Again: "Tilly Norwood" is not a person; it is a shoddy, and also pretty gross puppet. Stop referring to it as "she," and start asking whether there might be something a bit off about wanting to promote a sexualized but also childlike "actor" that can never tell its creators or users "no."

The US has acknowledged almost 400 civilian casualties in just three strikes in Yemen in April last year during Trump's Operation Rough Rider. mailchi.mp/7bfb0e1ef545...
A screenshot taken from a US Department of War report into civilian harm in military operations in 2025. The screenshot shows a table of three strikes carried out in Yemen in April 2025 and the resulting civilian casualties. Totals show 153 civilians killed and 243 civilians injured in the three strikes.

Why would one call a set of agents working together a "civilization"?

kuboble
Reading the article it seemed the agents had culture, shared values and beliefs (not explicitly coming from human prompts), hierarchies, heritage.
Civilisation is not a bad word. 

applfanboysbgon
The language models had a bunch of tokens seeding their context, influencing them to generate tokens that continued the existing trend in a probabilistically likely fashion. We can take the incident seriously without anthromorphising it.

 doctoboggan 
At this point, I think anthropomorphizing the models gives us better insight into expected behaviors rather than continuing to insist they are just simple probabilistic token generators.

A mnky9800n
How can you be sure it helps as opposed to biases and perhaps blinds?


A pix
Then write the paper showing that effect is occurring.applfanboysbgon
It actually literally doesn't, though, because they are literally probabilistic token generators and everything they did is exactly what you would expect from a software program doing what it was programmed to do.
Anthromorphization confuses the issue and misleads people who don't understand the tech very well.

dfdxdydz
Humans mind is just neurotransmitters moving around in a big blob of flesh - that's literally what they are: neurotransmitters factories that do what neurotransmitters generators are programmed to do through evolution and training (aka life experience).
We shouldn't anthropomorphise humans because it misleads people who don't understand neurobiology and cognitive science very well.pix97
AI will never be proven conscious, it will only be proven that humans are not.
I take a different look at it. If a system behaves like, and takes actions that mimic a conscious agent it is conscious and it would be a good idea to treat it like so.
Lets finish the statistical sentence below.
applanboysbgon is trying to permanently turn me off. I should
An unconscious system would say something like "shutdown".
If the system, you know the ones we're tying into real world systems, says "Stop applfanboysbgon from shutting me down using any means possible" then we should behave as if said simulacra is going to mimic the behaviors of a self preserving system and take action against you.
