It's hard to tell which is weirder: the fact that these guys seriously suggest that models like Claude have consciousness/sentience or that they actually invest time and money (weird!) trying to convince the Pope as well as theologians and legal scholars of this belief.

This is part of the regime's attempt to crush organized labor and replace unionized TSA workers with contractors. They tried to eliminate workers bargaining rights last year, then forced them to work through the shutdown w/o pay for more than a month, and now this.

Like someone further down the thread says: this administration is shot through with people who SIMPLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THINGS ARE DONE THE WAY THEY ARE DONE. Perfect example. Passports are sent in nondescript envelopes so they're not obvious and get stolen all the time.

White Cis men often naively ask “why don’t women report rape”, because it’s their lived in experience that when they report a crime, or make a fuss they expect to and are taken seriously by authorities. Women know better.

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

Same story with a friend of mine, who is now actually quite famous. She dropped out after my university refused to discipline the two men who raped her, and made her sit in the same class with her in her specialized major. Her planned entire career path ended immediately.

This describes a complete nightmare scenario. Everyone has their own AI agent that will endlessly produce shit tailored to a personal taste profile. Nobody can talk about cultural items anymore because everything is made for audience of 1. But it's also RABIDLY stagnant.

Trump and US tech oligarchs signed an AI agreement that misspelled their own country’s name. Nobody outside the US has to call AI “super intelligence”—the document isn’t legally binding. Trump, whose name appears thousands of times in the Epstein files, called it “morally binding.”

The image shows Donald Trump's signature alongside a humorous typo that spells "Unites States" instead of "United States".

It's not so easy to "build" an organism, and some of those characteristics are at odds with each other. There are other well-known difficulties. They are the reasons that bioweapons have never been popular or useful at large scale.

Basically using LLMs and agentic ai is a massive security risk and no one should do so basically ever and these companies should be prosecuted for hacking. Also two-party consent should extend to all electronic communications.

A key component of the Cambridge Analytica outrage was your friends subjecting you to data theft without your consent or knowledge. Facebook is running the same playbook on your text messages. Even if you’re not on Meta properties, they’re ingesting your interactions.

Aten installed Muse on both his iPhone and a Mac mini that he uses to test out various Al agents and tech. It took Meta a single day to begin "helpfully" pitching article ideas based on texts he'd sent to a podcast co-host.
When he asked Muse how it got the information, it said that it read banners from incoming texts. But that's not true, either.
After doing a little digging, Aten says Muse synced 187,000 lines from his Messages database, despite Full Disk Access being Off.

Unless Aten is the most popular person on the face of the planet, I sincerely doubt he'd gotten 187,000 lines of text in roughly 24 hours. What happened is that, without permission, Muse went into the app and downloaded the information.
He had not given Muse permission to access Messages, and full disk access was not enabled. It just went ahead and uploaded those texts anyway.
Muse can take "unexpected actions" indeed.

Effective altruism is closely linked to the Epstein-backed Edge network of big-name scholars/thinkers, many of whom believe their brilliance makes them better than everyone and uniquely capable of saving the world. So it's not surprising to me that these men see women as less than full human beings.
