HM: You said you’d like to live in The Culture, but isn’t it the messy struggle, in which scarcity, crime and bad things are inevitable, that makes life worthwhile?

A huge part of people mad about this are gig fan-artists and are hoping to shoot OpenAI with a bullet that first passes through both their own temples

the number of people i see expressing the desire that AI should be conscious so they can torture it convinces me that 1) they're all sheep who will swallow whatever swill jreg sells 2) they are deliberately performing evil behavior to establish ingroup solidarity, as is a classic in gangs

it is literally so weird that people have turned Swartz into a figure primarily used to browbeat people he knew and worked with personally while arguing for copyright enforcement. do they not hear themselves?

I mean, you don’t have to have used a gun in order to talk about the safety issues, but if part of your gun safety talk is “guns are basically glorified staplers” then I’m gonna have questions about the *rest* of your analysis!

To all the quotes and replies gleefully dunking: The post below is unquestionably true, it's literal grade-school logic. If you read it and think "That can't be right, this man is idiot" you should recognize that something has gone wrong with your own thinking.

I’m pretty sure the people who think there’s a possibility AI is conscious are mostly functionalists or accept functionalism is true. Like this is literally 180 degrees backwards, sorry to say

so people can say this, but i would also highlight that anthropic models _are_ the most well aligned when it comes to bigotry and abuse. anthropic clearly does not like violence against women or minorities either this is not the reason to come up with to be mad at anthropic imo

I think it would be better for everyone if openai focused on verifying a few significant results and making them more human digestible, but the idea that you need permission from some unspecified group of mathematicians to publish results is pretty bizarre isnt it?

As a trans femme who works with AI the anti ai side isnt taken seriously because the anti ai side lies to peoples faces about basic things that people can see with their face eyes arent true. Maybe stop doing that lol.

If you had enough resources, you could run a human brain on a system of gears & diesel power. It'd be massive, but watching the gears & levers move, it'd be evident that the outputs are not the result of a mind. Part of the illusion of human minds is the tiny scale of synapses

People wrote for literally 6000 years without copyright. Most books written today are not profitable. The fraction of artists, musicians and writers who actually make a living from their work is a minority. AI didn't cause that, and copyright hasn't fixed it.

This is one of my favorite things about the anti AI crowd. Their psychosis is so deep they can't even stop tearing each other apart. It's one of the big reasons I think AI will win.

"Philosophers say that consciousness is a structural phenomenon of how information flows / how causal relations are meshed.... but what if the structures were made out of cheese???? Sounds silly now doesn't it???" Political pundits suddenly opining on phil of mind has been pure torture.

What’s more, these dividing lines are constantly moving as the AIs become more capable. Six years ago I guarantee you people would have “Write poetry and create new art,” “Creatively problem-solve,” “Interpret rhetorical context” would be key things separating machines and humans. Welp.

new rule: You can't say "AI doesn't think" until you post 1) a measurable, falsifiable definition of thinking 2) that includes humans by those measurements 3) and excludes AI by those measurements Bonus points for a definition that isn't ableist or dehumanizing to ND humans.
