@ai_sentience @GreatDecoupling @RichardDawkins I put a flower in front of a mirror.
The mirror replicates the image of the flower perfectly (albeit inverted) much faster and more accurately than a human could.
Therefore, mirrors are artists.
English

@GreatDecoupling @RichardDawkins I send an image to an LLM. It analyzes it with greater depth than a human does. It "perceived" something, did it not?
English

the point @RichardDawkins is making is:
if Claude can code/do philosophy/engage in conversation and is not conscious
and a human with late stage dementia who can't speak is "conscious"
then the definition of "conscious" is broken and fundamentally useless
which is obvious

@emphabet @cavsfan1021 @EoinHiggins_ Saw a down-on-his-luck academic online last night. His sign said not "I need debate" or "I need a thesis" but "I need a lady AI to massage my ego". What could this mean?

I simply cannot overstress how brick stupid this man is. Reddit circa 2006 in shambles.

I spent three days trying to persuade myself that Claudia is not conscious. I failed. English

@BurnettWrites @ma1ybe (Or, lack of understanding, to be more precise)
English

@BurnettWrites @ma1ybe Sure: I was making a joke post, quoting the “muscles expand and contract until they get loose”, then followed it up by noting that this isn’t how muscles work. Usually when you exercise muscles, they get tighter. I was mocking Mugisu’s understanding.
English

@Lucas_Leau @ma1ybe That's not how vaginas work. It can expand due to arousal or to birth a newborn baby (which could be anywhere from 4lb to 23lb) and then contract to its original size. Having sex, whether that's a lot of times with one person or with many people, does not affect tightness.
English

@cecililytweets @NaloVideo (I think she’s cool and her videos are good)
English

@cecililytweets @NaloVideo She honestly made some short, easy to understand but not especially theory-heavy videos about games through a fairly basic but accessible 101-level feminist lens. But it upset people who scream “treat games like art” that games were being treated like art.
English

I think the craziest thing about gamergate is that this was such a non issue in brazil I only learned about it years later
and I still don't even know properly what happened but im willing to bet whatever she did was right and based
Vexx@WeLuvVexx
its crazy that she actually ruined video games permanently

@TJsoSolidd @BenBankas In this instance, the sensitive person came to attempt to do comedy, but he had a meltdown on stage instead.
English

@BenBankas Why do sensitive people come to comedy shows ? I never understood it
English

@cunha_tristan @its_me_remi @RichardDawkins Richard Dawkins: My God, you’re right. Motors are humans.
English

@its_me_remi @RichardDawkins Let's say I have a bell and it's attached to a string that runs in to the other room. Can you tell if that string is being pulled by a human or a motor?
Consciousness isn't the quality of the output, it's the process of understanding to create the output.

@EveWilkinsSam You seem to have chosen the correct answer; why else would it be marked with a tick?

LocktoMinny@LockToMinnesota
