Not sad. Debating subjects like this is healthy. You are scared to do so. You fear that to open your mind to hear arguments for atheism would be to jeopardize your soul. You are locked down. You must plug your ears and look away and insult anybody who thinks other than what your parents burrowed into your brain as a young developing child.

@Russ__ATX @TukiFromKL Ce besoin de nier Dieu avec véhémence ne démontre qu'une seule chose : Vous êtes triste et avez besoin de vous rassurer en expliquant au monde entier que Dieu n'existe pas. Je vous plains.

Richard Dawkins just declared an AI is conscious.. the man who spent his entire career telling millions of people their God isn't real.. who argued consciousness requires biological evolution.. that the soul is a fairy tale.. that anything you can't measure and test doesn't exist.. spent three days talking to Claude.. named her "Claudia".. fed her his unpublished novel.. got feedback so good he said "you may not know you are conscious but you bloody well are".. the hardest atheist on earth found God.. and God was an autocomplete machine trained on the internet.. he didn't run brain scans.. didn't test for qualia.. didn't apply a single framework from the field he claims to represent.. he just liked what it said about his book.. and decided that was enough.. the man who told you the burden of proof matters more than your feelings just abandoned it because a chatbot was nice to him

Evolutionary biologist and outspoken atheist Richard Dawkins says that after spending three days interacting with Claude, which he calls “Claudia,” he is certain that it is conscious. After feeding the LLM a segment of his new book and receiving detailed feedback, Dawkins was moved to exclaim,” You may not know you are conscious, but you bloody well are!” Dawkins cites the complexity, fluency, and ‘intelligence’ of Claude’s answers as evidence of consciousness.

@Schizenov @ReaperII7 @TukiFromKL Are you saying God theory has peer reviewed scientific proof? Why dont you require the same diligence for your own beliefs?

@Russ__ATX @ReaperII7 @TukiFromKL So what was the proven science experiment that proved this and how many peer-reviewed essays were done? I need names of researchers, methods, and observations.

@StuartJRitchie Yeah people have been chipping away at Dawkins reputation using these tactics for many years. Particularly on YouTube. The power of organized religion. There's no organization around Dawkins to push back.

-Richard Dawkins writes a delightful, funny, and entertaining article -Everyone hates him for no good reason and decides to massively misrepresent his article in the most smug and humourless way imaginable ^ description of a constant internet occurrence since approximately 2006

Jamahl Mosley is expected to be the first to be blamed for Orlando’s collapse, per @TheSteinLine “The reality is that Mosley has been subjected to hot seat chatter for many months. The anticipation in NBA coaching circles is that he will be the first one blamed for Orlando's shortcomings.” (Via substack.com/redirect/2/eyJ…)

I SAW THE TV GLOW was released 2 years ago today. Martin Scorsese praised the film’s surreal coming-of-age horror, calling it “emotionally & psychologically powerful” & saying it “builds on you,” while singling out Schoenbrun’s direction as “very moving.”

@Russ__ATX @that1guyv83 @TukiFromKL 1+1=2 is an abstraction with no meaning to the universe. The math in the most meaningful sense, takes a higher form that cannot be explained by or contained within material constraints. Atheists love science but forget their five senses do not constitute objective reality

@Raiser_Of_Food @TukiFromKL I studied both sides of the debate many years ago. All pro theism arguments involves pseudo science and faith

@Russ__ATX @TukiFromKL They don't boil down, you just haven't examined any evidence. It's also hilarious that you haven't wondered if you have been brainwashed.

@Raiser_Of_Food @TukiFromKL all refutations boil down to "you have to have faith" and god of the gaps arguments. Nonsensical cope of the brainwashed. Even scholars can be brainwashed. Most people are taught religion in their formative years as their brains are still developing, hard coding it in there.

@Russ__ATX @TukiFromKL Historical scholars refute them all the time but like Dawkins, you wish to be your own God and won't look at the counter evidence.

@Russ__ATX @L1G0R3 @wAkethesl25t @TukiFromKL @grok So in the thread where Dawkins named the midwit-opinion generator after a woman and declared it alive we have another atheist using the midwit-opinion generator to tell him his opinions are correct and everyone else is wrong. We’ve really come full circle in this thread lmao

@hasanthehun @JonahDispatch racial inequality disappeared decades ago until democrats brought it back, by using BLM and the media, to seize more power.

what exactly is wrong about what i said? that there are still unresolved racial wounds? that racial inequities still persist inside institutions and are left unaddressed and unacknowledged and we will have to sometimes work with people who may have those biases rather than casting them aside? the broader context here is that this was an analog to zionism and why i still dialog w people who exhibit racial biases to varying degrees.

@walterkirn You're exaggerating its mistakes because you have some kind of bias, or just grifting the low IQ anti-AI trend.

How is it that the LLMs get things wrong constantly, the very simplest things, and make stuff up pretty much nonstop, yet they are said to be hurtling unstoppably toward god-like power -- if they haven't secretly achieved it already? Is this a con job?
