I think this commenter is pointing out Mike’s cringey use of “females” and is just imprecise with their communication. Or am I one of their alt accounts defending myself from this ratioing? You be the judge. (I’m not)

A smaller penis is actually preferable as it’s easier to have your partner deepthroat. Meanwhile I’m over here only getting half stimulated. You know dude has a mean cunnilingus game.

I used to point out that mutualism can actually be good in nature. But this isn’t that.

This is closer to when old hate-mongering Henry Ford built his vision of a car-dependent future by subsidizing the sell of his own automobiles so that everyone could afford them. That de-prioritized public transport (like cable cars and electric trolleys), created a transit class-gap, reserved significant fractions of urban land for parking, not to mention the pollution.

Fuck vertical integration.

This is why profit reports are irrelevant. All that matters is whether OpenAI is able to innovate here using Huang’s captive resources. I just don’t expect it to happen in these monoliths.

That scene from Severance (Snape)

It stands to reason.

Pff, I already know how to make AI fully conscious: just add legs to it.

I believe y’all may be arguing from different initial premises. Whatever the structure of evolution (physics or deities), if its bottlenecking issues can be significantly worked out in simulations I believe it’s at least possible to reach AGI by brute force. No clue on the timeline though.

Reminds of that retirement home orderly who abused dementia patients. And he thought it was the perfect crime too.

That is, until he took an ethics class and chose to write his final paper on whether there’s any real difference between abusing someone with no memory and abusing a simulated character in a video game.

He still does it but now he’s racked by the guilt. Philosophy: Not even once!

Reminds me of that big famous movie where they use the time loop mechanic as a metaphor for dementia. Can’t think of the name of it right now, but it’ll come to me…

Arrows point in the different direction on the directed graph, which makes indexing easier (e.g. search by country vs search by bank).

OP hadn’t realized that “Ras Trent” (2008) was a parody and wanted more.

Steelmanning is what wins arguments. For example if I were to say that your argument amounts to little more than lazy contrariness some percentage of us Lemmings would see that as uncharitable, regardless of whether they agreed with my position. I’m not suggesting updoots are important, just that discourse is.

That being said while education and socialization aren’t inherently dependent on one another, certain subjects like debate, civics, and ethics should likely be taught in group settings (as well as more often). PhysEd as well.

But if harder sciences and math have the potential to be taught outside the sometimes stressful social hierarchies of traditional schools, it’s worth at least exploring.

PS: Regarding your username, have you seen the excellent Philip Seymour Hoffman movie “Love Liza”?

In what way does AI prevent people from socializing with one another?

In my experience whether or not autistic folks understand individuals they’re much better at being civil. Particularly on anonymous platforms with minimal consequences like right hmya. The antithesis of course being those who only treat others with respect when there’d be consequences to not do so.

PS As a matter of record I hate you all.

Exactly. Our immune system is excellent but its immune cell exploration space is on the order of 10^11 potential receptors.

So since RNA viruses in particular can mutate so rapidly, we just use our brains to reduce that by 10+ orders of magnitude and target the antigens we want directly. The end result is the same, biotech is just smarter.

You’re assuming the alternative that billionaires, despite being a tiny fraction of the population, will be in control of such gatekeeping.

Your argument against an openly available AI precludes the existence of things like the FOSS community. Smart people who oppose capitalist power structures certainly exist.

• The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any. The corrupting nature of power is known by the majority. Billionaires just ignore it because capitalism rewards executives who exhibit psychopathic symptoms.

• I don’t believe anyone’s arguing LLMs will evolve into AGI.

• Thats a conclusion of substrate dependency. What’s so special about the matter (not the process) that facilitates human cognition that makes it impossible to happen with other materials?

In what way does AI detract from social skill development?

Chatbots aren’t the endpoint tho, AGI and ASI are. Imagine a future where we could disseminate custom AIs to teach kids exactly in their unique contexts. Education could be throttled and specialized according to everyone’s aptitudes.

And if the people are able to decide what future ASIs work on we could focus on massive healthcare, leading to inevitable healthspan extension. Then the rate at which we have to replace our population (and the associated spending of 20 years reteaching intelligent citizens) would be reduced as a consequence.

AI is just a tool. Tools are never rolled back, at most they’re only regulated. Why not make the best of our future with this powerful tool? Just because billionaires are getting the headlines, most of the progress is being done in academia. Maybe AI will even help facilitate reduced wealth inequality.

Interpreted the Betazed as being analogous to bipolar. I interpreted the peaceful vs war schools to be representations of contrasting political parties. There’s so many more options now and short attention spans are being rewarded. Am happy to give the show time to grow its Riker beard.
