Oh come on now, they don’t really have to do that until stalactites start forming

The tooth fairy can go where it wants, and can see in the dark. Why would it need to dig them up?

There’s probably some simple trick they are missing. I never have any trouble getting hit by big ships, and I never even learned how to sail.

I thought you were kidding but I just had to know lol. Like to make a case for Papyrus being racist you’d firstly have to say who it’s being racist towards, and it’s just a bit… vague… for that. Na’vi maybe?

OK I love that fonts stir up such strong feelings in people… but racist? How tf is papyrus racist?

He’s going to find out who’s naughty and nice

Nah, you’re thinking of a hundred-plus-million dollar company. Being understaffed and disastrously managed is about right for a million dollar company.

I’m sorry my mind is stuck on

If gravity is not strong enough to stop a small stream from flowing to its lowest point

I mean… what…

So I can outnumber my enemies

I just don’t think this is a problem in the current stage of technological development. Modern AI is a cute little magic act, but humans (collectively) are very good at piercing the veil and then spreading around the discrepancies they’ve discovered.

In its current stage, no. But it’s come a long way in a short time, and I don’t think we’re so far from having machines that pass the Turing test 100%. But rather than being a proof of consciousness, all this really shows is that you can’t judge consciousness from the outside looking in. We know it’s a big illusion just because its entire development has been focused on building that illusion. When it says it feels something, or cares deeply about something, it’s saying that because that’s the kind of thing a human would say.

Because all the development has been focused on fakery rather than understanding and replicating consciousness, we’re close to the point where we can have a fake consciousness that would fool anyone. It’s a worrying prospect, and not just because I won’t become immortal by having a machine imitate my behaviour. There’s bad actors working to exploit this situation. Elon Musk’s attempts to turn Grok into his own personally controlled overseer of truth and narrative seem to backfire in the most comical ways, but that’s teething troubles, and in time this will turn into a very subtle and pervasive problem for humankind. The intrinsic fakeness of it is a concerning aspect. It’s like we’re getting a puppet show version of what AI could have been.

Well, that’s why we need clones with mind transfer, and to be unconscious during the process. When you wake up you won’t know whether you’re the original or the copy so why worry

People used to talk about the idea of uploading your consciousness to a computer to achieve immortality. But nowadays I don’t think anyone would trust it. You could tell me my consciousness was uploaded and show me a version of me that was indistinguishable from myself in every way, but I still wouldn’t believe it experiences or feels anything as I do, even though it claims to do so. Especially if it’s based on an LLM, since they are superficial imitations by design.

Obviously anything by Mariah Carey would be a contender but I stand by my assertion

FACT: the best Christmas song ever is “All I Want For Christmas is You” by Mariah Carey. Search your feelings. You know it to be true.

AI generated content is what ought to be disclosed, and even then it’s not necessarily a bad thing, though I can see how it might often be. But AI in general encompasses a broad range of tools which is bound to get broader and more ubiquitous with time.

You know, maybe that’s not so bad, there would be real world links between users rather than the random collection of absolute strangers you get now. Oh wait no that’s just facebook again

^ updooted

just like Windows itself ( correction : Windows peaked 2009 - 2012 )

3/5 nice clear instructions but it tastes like gasoline

Alright but where’s the recipe?
