Reposted by Mean Bean MachineData Report @datareport.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Everyone I am talking to is telling me so and so is sick or they know people sick right now. Yes, we are still elevated from the summer COVID wave, and yes, some areas like mine are rising, but viruses like Rhinovirus and flu are already rising. It's going to be a Long winter mask up, my friends. 1276
Mean Bean Machine @sentient6.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Watching a group of people decide existential risk isn’t real is exactly like watching the other group decide climate change isn’t real. Deja-vu. 010

Mean Bean Machine @sentient6.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Then I guess we should get more people to go to cons. 290
Mean Bean Machine @sentient6.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Gail, you’ve always been so outspoken and consistent on this and I wonder if there’s an origin story? 7430
Mean Bean Machine @sentient6.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I’m sure you must be familiar with how common animist philosophies are that claim all matter has some level of consciousness so I don’t think persuasive text made from attractor basins was really necessary for that. So if it’s getting more media coverage now I think it’s worth asking who it serves. 000
Mean Bean Machine @sentient6.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I’m not trying to be anti intellectual for its own sake. It’s that I’ve seen unfalsifiable claims used as a vehicle for oppression throughout history. Right now there’s an incredible amount of incentive for model developers to want to escape liability and this is how they manufacture consent. 130
Mean Bean Machine @sentient6.bsky.social · 18/09/2026What changes if you don’t? Because someone can easily make that call and if we’ve made any rights or access dependent on that then I think we’re in trouble. 110
Mean Bean Machine @sentient6.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I think the entire idea of consciousness is unfalsifiable which is yet another reason why it’s shouldn’t be used to define personhood. But since we already have that to corporations there’s really nothing stopping giving legal and political representation to anything that benefits a business. 120
Mean Bean Machine @sentient6.bsky.social · 15/09/2026If you ever need more nightmares, I got ya. But really I was just saying we should consider the full spectrum of risk rather than making it a dichotomy. 110
Mean Bean Machine @sentient6.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Mirror life is one scenario that could be rapid. You’re right that most xrisk would involve a slow dwindling of the remnant population but I don’t think it’s a strong argument against caution. 110
Mean Bean Machine @sentient6.bsky.social · 15/09/2026It might also be worth considering how fast CBRN uplift can scale and how far reaching the consequences can be. 110
Mean Bean Machine @sentient6.bsky.social · 15/09/2026We already have autonomous weapon systems and we have already had targeting errors. I think it’s easy to want to dismiss science fiction as fantasy but it’s better to think of agents as for loops running probabilistic code in public that cannot be fully validated, constrained, or monitored. 110
Mean Bean Machine @sentient6.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Tell me why you would ignore xrisk just because there are other risks. 110
Mean Bean Machine @sentient6.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I hope you understand that doomer is a word they call people who cling to the truth after the Overton window has shifted away from it. This is a pattern you should recognize. 020
Mean Bean Machine @sentient6.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I miss the people I used to talk to on Bluesky but I hate what social media does to all of us. I think it makes us more disconnected. I find myself trying to use it to entertain myself in public and hoping someone else likes it. If you want me as a friend, message me. 020
