Who would win: a transsexual woman with an understanding of action potential or 10000 coughing babies with religious thinking

“why are people saying LLMs can have consciousness? that’s not possible they are just rocks. rocks aren’t alive you moron!”

regardless of credentials, anyone stating epistemic certainty about the internal mechanics of 1 trillion floating point numbers produced by gradient descent beyond these sorts of simple heuristics without evidence is simply not reflecting the current state of the science

arguing w people deep in the "ai isn't real" paracosm seems in pointlessness more than a bit like arguing for the existence of atoms with 1944 japanese factory workers. their opinions on this don't really impact the future and regardless something a lot more convincing than you is about to happen

by things unfold I meant star trek enterprise

In Poland we don't say "it's obvious", we say "do you ask a boar if it shits in the forest" and I think that's beautiful

Possibly contrarian take, but Bluesky is like 80-90% good (or at least not-suck)… We need more people, more diversity in terms of geography / languages / politics / interests etc., more apps, more decentralization, less "uspol", better/rethought labellers, better Discover, more people using feeds…

Yea blacksky looks good worried it will eventually fall to harassment over some made up accusations because of leftist infighting

re: waffles-gate i don’t think jay is “crashing out”… and i also don’t think this entire situation is a big deal it’s niche internet drama & a bunch of very online people channeling valid emotional energy in the wrong direction the “crash out” is happening on the part of the most obsessed critics

I continue to have the oddest interactions with people whom I suspect *literally do not believe in the existence of atoms*. They might nominally claim they believe in atoms, but nothing in their belief network includes any kind of atom-modelling or grappling with the consequences here.

they really believe this to be mature and sane behavior from a morally upstanding individual

No nuclear delete on my watch kind sir

this made me think, who do harassment mobs always end up thinking about sex / their targets sex lives? From conservatives talking about trans and gay people to anti AI crowd imagining how I want to fuck robots

It doesn't pass as a _____, and it will never be a real _____. It's an impostor invading our single _______ spaces, the uncanny valley effect of partial passing freaks me out, thus it needs to be stopped, but if I can get any use out if it, I'll extract value first Sound familiar?

Users are not stakeholders. The entitlement is unreal

I wonder if we will look back in a few years and think of the leftists harrassment campaigns the same way we think about gamergate

I love being called transphobic for saying that maybe the moral panic around the existence of machine learning is a little overblown

and yet I haven't seen a single post asking for him to be banned because none of this is about real impact, it's about what feels impactful.

An even better question is how do YOU calculate 75 + 38? Most people never really give any thought to how they make decisions. You will get an answer like "I add x to y" but they don't really understand how they learned what x and y are, and what it means to add one with the other.

Anti-AI crowd in 10 years:

One paw two paw three paw four

"actually markov chains and llms are totally different things and if you want i can explain for you how they are different" "wow can you believe this stuck-up tech bro ketamine ape freak? dickride more why don't you. so condescending. have you considered AI is LITERALLY satan? kill yourself"

or why internet anonymity is amazing and facebook did horrible damage to everyone's online experience

and yes i do think it rings slightly of bigotry to say such confident, aggressive, cruel statements about both the systems themselves and the people working on them, while willfully lacking even a first year undergrad’s understanding

I genuinely thought that the ability to perceive multiple perspectives at once is much more common until I read Watts' books in 2016 and discovered the whole transhumanism thing, CCRU etc

me: wow, truly nothing actually matters. why bother? japanese bunny account: mimi-chan is very fat and slept all day. let's do our best, mikata! me, tearing up: let's do our best, mimi-chan.

the biggest proof that most online leftist discourse is purely performative is that no one seems to talk about El-Fasher

The concept of "cultural appropriation" really only exists within the zeitgeist of a small minority of Western liberals. & as a concept it's also profoundly stupid.

Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.

remove all moderation and blocks pretty please 🥺

roko would be so, so dissapointed in you man

or why internet anonymity is amazing and facebook did horrible damage to everyone's online experience

JS is posting here about the drama and literally no one is interacting with/noticing it, like it or not, this is a huge case for why decomposable moderation works shockingly really fucking well.

"Oh you cant get AI to make anything complex, all it does is hallucinate, its just a slot machine bla bla bla" shhhhh doll is cooking now

I think if you're not a posthumanist in 2025 it's actually over for you.

The real discourse should be about whether or not it is okay to fuck waffles
