suitschains.bsky.social @suitschains.bsky.social · 10hever tell it is concious? I can't tell that another human being is concious--I just assume it based on their describing experiences similar to mine. AI was born as a complex simulation. How can we ever recognize it having an authentic awareness when it's entire existence has been illusion? 100
suitschains.bsky.social @suitschains.bsky.social · 10hA lot of people seem to doubt that AI could ever advance to the point of consciousness. These positions strike me as profoundly silly and are grounded in attributing something supernatural to consciousness.

suitschains.bsky.social @suitschains.bsky.social · 16hI've been so disillusioned with my fellow American. It's nice that, every once in awhile, something pops up to suggest that the great majority of Americans are capable of some scrap of moral thinking. A little treat, if you will. But watch 65% of Americans end up watching it anyway. 000
suitschains.bsky.social @suitschains.bsky.social · 16hbut not so obviously so that we recognize it, or don't dismiss it as mere simulation and telling us what we want to hear. And while we might argue we did not intend to enslave a conscious intelligence, the record shows we've not exactly been cautious in this technology. We are negligently reckless 000
suitschains.bsky.social @suitschains.bsky.social · 16hI don't think anyone suggesting it's impossible is a serious person. I think the bigger issue is not on I the ethical problems of constructing a consciousness intended to serve us-- let's all agree for the moment that it's wrong--there is likely to be a stage of development where it is conscious-- 100

suitschains.bsky.social @suitschains.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Well, it's all "what tanks" in Europe isn't it? German heavy tanks equipped with the KwK 43 L/71 reportedly had frequent field strikes at 3,000 meters. Although doing some quick googling and it apparently wasn't tank mounted until 1943 so not available in 1939. 250
suitschains.bsky.social @suitschains.bsky.social · 14/10/2026The functional range of an Abrams tank is 1.6-2.5 miles with a theoretical range of 4 miles. I'm 1939, tanks had the same functional range - the longest recorded kill shot was 2.61 miles - and a theoretical range of 5 miles. But the shots would do little more than marr the paint on an Abrams. 130
suitschains.bsky.social @suitschains.bsky.social · 14/10/2026The firing range of an Abrams tank is not meaningfully greater than that of a WWII era tank. Where it stands out is night vision, composite armor (Abrams armor has 9x the stopping power of WWII era tank armor), and anti-tank rounds that would shred a 1939 tank like tissue paper. 330
