Asking how people can partake in joyful acts during a period of immense suffering leads me to believe this is your first time at the suffering rodeo.

Shut up you don't know me I'm not a "Literal Thinker" I'm just *precise*

Is there a separate designation for gender apathy? I think of non-binary like "Dont box me in"/"I do any and everything I want" but I just simply do not give a damn what gets tossed my way. "You're a boy" K. "Thats girly" K. "What are your pronouns?" Whatever. Yes. It doesnt feel like anything.

Good gods Analytical Idealism is even worse than Panpsychism. Why do people keep coming up with this stuff just because they don't understand how things work?

i dunno but using a machine that always regresses to the mean (llms) to simulate “diverse populations that are not readily accessible” seems the oppose of good science to me… no matter how popular it has become in behavioural sciences

C’mon Nintendo. Just put Melee and PSOe1&2 on the goddamn Switch with some online for me PLEASE.

That movie Equilibrium hits different now. "Oh so this is the future techbros want" Gotta optimize those messy emotions out. Its inefficient. Pure logic and reason babyyyyy

Wtf are we kinda good at kickin that ball this year?

Trillions invested, entire industries destroyed, our information ecosystem fundamentally compromised, and all we accomplished was, at best, a 0-5% bump in overall economic productivity.

Interestingly, the intuition I felt and spoke from -- that embodied knowing -- is precisely the kind of thing AI, for all of its performative anthropomorphic gesturing at the simulacrum of personhood, can't do. Tech billionaires want us to believe that our embodied/human ways of knowing are useless!

And before anyone says anything like “how are we different” its because we arent an abstraction we consist of 30 trillion blobs of ingredients where stuff just chaotically happens. The physical properties of the ingredients make the stuff that happens really fuckin awesome tho

An algorithm is not an 'agent'. It's a list.

I cant wait for Theranos 2: Ultrasonic Boogaloo

This is what humans are supposed to be goddamnit

I knew something was wrong with Clark when his black ass started wondering around them Backrooms immediately with ZERO contingencies. We dont do that, nah uh no way.

Brands already know this, which is why there's a growing industry of AI-engine optimization (AEO), which is designed specifically to manipulate LLMs and AI search. Over the last few weeks I have heard from a bunch of people in this industry. Already a big industry / common practice to do this

The way that this is also directly applies to Eugenics/Phrenology guys needs to be studied because what the hell

This is not how anything goddamn works and I’m siiiiiick of these dummies. “Genetic basis of IQ” don’t piss me off

People who cant be friends with their atrracted gender drive me nuts. Once, I met ”the new girl that just moved here” in high school & I was gonna shoot my shot. When we got to talking I found out we had the exact same birthday, down to the time, 1 yr apart. I said TWINS…

Ai guys: “We dont need to understand biology to create intelligence but also we will constantly compare it to a biological system as a benchmark, will use biology terms for credibility, claim our system can do biological things and its all doing the same thing anyway right?"

I do love the Lilin

My villain origin story lmao

You are out of your damn mind if you think that none of this matters/its all math and inert silicon can “replicate” what it does.

So the ”hard problem of consciousness” is only hard because instead of trying to understand what cells are actually doing, these guys look for signs of a concept we completely made up (“information” processing) and analyze everything as if that concept is true, completely ignoring material reality.

Been listening to various talks on consciousness, just to see whats going on in that world in this “age of Ai” I havent said “dont piss me off wtf is this” this much in a while

You will not win if you don't cultivate joy. We survive off joy. Without it, we wither. The oppressor does not have the power to entirely steal your human joy from you.You as human have power to choose joy from your nature. White folks think, it's getting bad, time to have a sad face all the time.

Ai is so good. So powerful. So useful.

Sometimes I’m in absolute awe of how effectively Big Tech has destroyed any accumulated good will; then I’m amazed by how they continue to expect goodwill from people while they lie, cheat and steal and play footsie with fascists

"Panpsychism" is just an excuse to completely give up trying to figure things out. Not a serious attempt at all to explain anything

What life is, how it works, and what distinguishes it from other things (especially what distinguishes us from our machines) is really NOT that hard to understand

This world cup could have been sooooo good. Some of the stuff people are posting is still wholesome and fun and its nice but it could have been an exponentially better experience for everyone and it kills me

I swear to god if people post one more video of a stadium crowd “swag surfin” with not a gotdamn swag being surfed in sight Im gonna lose it

I honestly appreciate this post. But not enough people in the comments were talking about the goddamn jacket.

Can't lie I'm down to try a Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom'd version of Ocarina of Time. And I'm not mad because I haven't played it since the n64. When I was a child. In the 90s.

Again I have to point out that I am a man of science that believes in a pretty understandable, material world. But why the fuck are yall trying to make beer and bread from mummy yeast? What in the zombie hell are you gonna unleash upon us? Put that shit back. NO unbread shall walk the earth damnit

It also highlights the way that people are using these systems to offset the labour of rigourously applying reason, despite the fact that from the bottom up, "ML" is a bunch of probabilistic/stochastic processes designed to statistically imitate reason rather than implement it.

We tried to tell yall its hot as fuck over here *thinkin about the world cup athletes

Hinton: "Actually I wanted to understand how the brain works....how would the brain figure out whether to figure out to decrease or increase each connection strength" Okay, hear me out. What if....it doesn't do any of that shit

Platner is the perfect example of a certain demographic getting all the grace and benefit of the doubt that others do not get at all

Whole planet vulnerable and in danger from a handful of dipshit narcissists and their enablers. Dumb as hell to be in this position

When you dehumanize others you dehumanize yourself

This “story” is a perfect example of their ridiculous magical thinking maxleiter.com/blog/weights

ps: if you really want to disrupt a system first you need to understand it and then actually have a better idea. (13/14)

You are all ignorant cowards! Just throw some colloidal silver in there and it fixes it all right up, perfect for consumption

Damn near every comment is why I dont want to hear computer boys talk about intelligence or consciousness ever again. They dont understand bio, absolutely torture analogies, and just assert that everything works like computer for NO reason. And its utterly pointless trying to explain it

"I'm not a woman so I can't relate I just don't want to play one" has got to be the dumbest dogshit take I've seen in a while. Just absolute clown behavior. Stay away from women in real life until you fix that attitude

Let's say (despite all the risks of catastrophic mistakes) you actually like what an "A.i." agent does for you right now. What's to stop a right wing billionaire from tweaking your "A.i." agent in the future to push you towards fascist news sources / ideas / choices?

Run patricia run goddamnit

Omg are voters ever responsible for their decisions? Tired of this “look what they made us do” shit.
