They created a closed off community that has essentially become a transgender Marxist cult.

You literally cannot say death to America and have that mean anything peaceful.

Protanopia.

Yeah, intentional or not, this is consent-manufactuting for him running for a third term. It’s normalizing the idea.

Yeah, same here. People speak really highly of it, but I bounced off it hard every time I tried it. Just not for me I guess (which is fine).

Ah yes the phylum “virus.”

Not only does it double down on the incorrect response, but by the end it has talked itself into being even more wrong. Love that our whole world now rests on this technology.

Teleology-ass definition.

Look at my rate of profit, dog.

you really interrogate it closely enough you might not be able to meaningfully differentiate it from biological consciousness or thought (which if you really wanna argue could also be reduced to “it’s just math” as well, just math that is way beyond the ability of people to determine

Here’s one easy way to differentiate it: my brain is wet and runs on electrochemical processes powered by food. Is that a “significant” difference? That depends on what you think is worth tracking! Defining what counts as “functionally identical” requires you decide which features of a system are “functional” and which are “mere” cosmetic differences. That differentiation isn’t given to us by nature, though, and already reflects a hefty series of evaluative judgements. By carefully defining our functions, we can call any two things “functionally identical.” There’s no right answer, which is both a strength and a limitation of this kind of functionalist framework. Both the AI boosters and the AI “impossibilists” miss this point: functional identity is perspectival, and encodes a bunch of evaluative assumptions about which differences do and don’t matter. That’s ok–all model building does that–but it’s important not to confuse the map and the territory, or think we’re identifying some kind of value-independent feature of the world when we attribute functional identity.

Like I basically can’t trip on hallucinogens anymore because when I start noticing it, it distresses me, and I basically spend the entire time locked in “trying to control my shit” mode.

Same.

GPT-5, which just released yesterday and is “clearly generally intelligent” according to Altman.

I loved it, but that kind of thing is very much my jam and I was also on drugs.

It’s “great replacement” fodder.
