I love this book so much - it just opens up that enormous space and lets you walk around in it

An excellent thought experiment that both gets at why LLMs probably aren't capable of consciousness and also brings up very real questions about whether we are capable of consciousness (ie, where and how exactly could emergence emerge?)

Alright, it's Oct 1st, time to get the long thread of horror movies going This year's theme is "horror short films," because hey: life. You know? One advantage though is I'll generally be able to post a link to the full film Another advantage is maybe I'll get some sleep this year

Yo. This is the union calling for a boycott. Here in America people like to say "Well I was already boycotting Starbucks!" No you were not. You were just choosing not to buy their stuff. That is not a boycott. A boycott is an organized, collective activity. "I" don't boycott: we do.

Beyond is the more interesting if more flawed of the sequels--West as the wunderkind past his prime, who had potential once and is trying, now, to justify it--a deeply nuanced and human performance, wrecked only by every scene Combs isn't in #BeyondReAnimator #FrightClub
