The 💀Fear💀 of Glad @theyearofglad.bsky.social · 11hAnd as far as a “shared understanding” goes, there have long been popular traditional beliefs about the moon being made of things other than rocks. Sometimes cheese, and sometimes other stuff, e.g. an enormous rabbit laboring to create an elixir of immortality.en.wikipedia.orgMoon rabbit - Wikipedia 100
The 💀Fear💀 of Glad @theyearofglad.bsky.social · 11hAh, but those samples aren’t from every portion of the moon, so from the formalist logic standpoint that Will is trying to use here, you can’t say with certainty that every part of the moon that you haven’t directly inspected is rock, rather than cheese. 110

The 💀Fear💀 of Glad @theyearofglad.bsky.social · 12hI think most reasonable people would reformulate your initial statement as, “There is currently no credible evidence of consciousness among AI,” which pretty neatly resolves the whole thing, insofar as professed uncertainty as to the true meaning of consciousness isn’t actually evidence. 040
The 💀Fear💀 of Glad @theyearofglad.bsky.social · 12h“We can’t say for certain that the moon isn’t made of cheese” is a weaker, cautious claim. After all, it’s possible that all of the previous lunar expeditions just happened to land on the rare non-cheese parts. 230

The 💀Fear💀 of Glad @theyearofglad.bsky.social · 13hIt’s not a unilaterally self-made rule, it’s the result of collective bargaining with the Players Association, and in order for the players to have guaranteed access to the rights and protections they negotiated for, the deal needs to be binding for all parties involved. 100

The 💀Fear💀 of Glad @theyearofglad.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Similarly, is it possible that AIs will eventually become conscious? Sure. But “eventually” is doing almost all of the heavy lifting in that sentence, because forever is a very long time. We aren’t there now, and we aren’t going to be there at any point in the near future, either. 110
The 💀Fear💀 of Glad @theyearofglad.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Could I shove my hand through the wall if all the electrons lined up exactly right? Sure. Is it going to happen? Probably not.

The 💀Fear💀 of Glad @theyearofglad.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Probably a typo. It’s supposed to say “I’ll fortune,” which is kind of archaic usage, but I’d expect a few period-appropriate grammatical eccentricities from an ancient wealth-granting amulet. 010
