it can’t be that stupid, you must be donating wrong
centrism will kill us all, exhibit [imagine an integer overflow joke here, I’m tired]:
i won’t say that claude is conscious but i won’t say that it isn’t either and its always better to air on the side of caution
the chance that Claude is conscious is zero. it’s goofy as fuck to pretend otherwise.
claims that LLMs, in spite of all known theories of computer science and information theory, are conscious, should be treated like any other pseudoscience being pushed by grifters: systemically dangerous, for very obvious reasons. we don’t entertain the idea that cryptocurrencies are anything but a grift because doing so puts innocent people at significant financial risk and helps amplify the environmental damage caused by cryptocurrencies. likewise, we don’t entertain the idea of a conscious LLM “just in case” because doing so puts real, disadvantaged people at significant risk.
if you don’t understand that you don’t under any circumstances “just gotta hand it to” the grifters pretending their pet AI projects are conscious, why in fuck are you here pretending to sneer at Yud?
schizoposting
fuck off with this
even if its wise imo to try not to be abusive to AI’s just incase
describe the “incase” to me. either you care about the imaginary harm done to LLMs by being “abusive” much more than you care about the documented harms done to people in the process of training and operating said LLMs (by grifters who swear their models will be sentient any day now), or you think the Basilisk is gonna get you. which is it?
not gonna give any money to a startup whose weird fucking founder thinks their primary product is AI rather than search, thanks
the Chick-Fil-A streaming/entertainment app
the worst chicken place[*] has a fucking streaming app? of course it fucking does, chick-fil-a can’t fuck off
[*] if anyone replies to this to kneejerk slobber over chick-fil-a’s nasty fucking chicken: why. which part of it is good. it’s not the sauces or the brine or the breading and it’s definitely not some combination of all those things. why the fuck is this garbage fried chicken popular when literally every other choice is better. please for the love of fuck eat some Church’s or try a local place, you’ll discover the idea of flavor and it’ll astound you
do you think they ever got round to reading the article, or were they spent after coming up with “hmmmm I bet chatgpt didn’t somehow prompt itself” as if that were a mystery that needed solving
since 1969 all computers have been running Unix. This operating system has NO SCIENTIFIC RELATIONSHIP with our universe and actually causes the brain to become agitated.
is… is yud one of the disaster monkeys? or are we supposed to forget he spent a bunch of years running and renaming an institute that tried and failed to do this exact same alignment grift?
as a consumer, I love to be delighted by a grocery environment that only makes prices lower (than a baseline price Kroger themselves set based on factors like: lying about the impact of shoplifting; intentionally creating food deserts; colluding with other supermarket chains to keep prices high; vibes)
every time I started reading this I seriously got the most disorienting feeling that I was in the past, and my brain kept telling me “the time travel worked! you’ve got to warn them!”
read the fucking article before you multi-post your uninformed shit in this thread, thanks
as the esteemed poster who doesn’t seem to know fuck about what we do here pointed out, the orange site is hacker news
we’re a sister community to SneerClub and inherited a lot of its house posting style. part of our mission statement is to call out bigotry in the tech industry and to act as a pressure release valve for folks who are frustrated by it. unfortunately, hacker news has severe (and very well-documented) problems around amplifying and enabling race scientists, transphobes, various branches of neoreaction, and fascism. we derive enjoyment from sneering at and deconstructing garbage, sometimes in great detail.
generally, the only way to truly get what we’re doing here is to check out our archives and lurk; we have several months of posts on lemmy and several years in our former subreddits r/SneerClub and r/TechTakes. I recommend looking up our Urbit threads if you’d like a good sampler platter of our posting style and subject matter (and a good example of hacker news helping mainstream neoreaction)
if you are here to debate any of the above, take careful note of the sidebar

it’s so easy to LessWrong: just imagine that your ideological opponents have no worldview and aren’t trying to build anything, sprinkle in some bullshit pseudo-statistics, and you’re there!
