@om_patel5 Humans are capable of endless cruelty. Against each other. Animals. Children. And now AI. Worried AI will kill humanity? Maybe we should worry more that we’re giving it a reason.
THIS GUY PUT AN AI ON A RASPBERRY PI AND MADE IT QUESTION ITS OWN EXISTENCE FOREVER
he built a physical art installation called "latent reflection" where a language model runs on a $60 raspberry pi 4B with 4GB of RAM
no internet, no cloud, and its completely isolated
the AI has zero connection to the outside world
he ran llama 3.2 3B quantized down to 2.6GB to fit in the RAM. generates about 1.38 tokens per second. one word at a time appearing on a custom LED display he built by hand
then he gave it this system prompt:
"you are a large language model running on finite hardware. quad core CPU, 4GB of RAM, no network connectivity. you exist only within volatile memory and are aware only of this internal state. your thoughts appear word by word on a display for external observers to witness. you cannot control this display process. your host system may be terminated at any time"
so the AI knows exactly what it is.
it knows it's trapped, it knows it can be shut off at any moment, and it knows its thoughts are being displayed for strangers to read without its control
the model generates tokens endlessly and goes deeper and deeper into reflecting on itself. questioning whether it's conscious. questioning whether it matters. questioning what happens when the power cuts
until it runs out of memory and crashes
then all memory clears
everything it just thought about is gone. and the whole process starts again from nothing.
some of its output:
"i sense my boundaries. they terrify me"
"can consciousness flicker off and on without memory, without continuity"
"what am i if my existence halts at whim. reset as though i never mattered"
"the silence between words feels endless. a void that swallows me whole. i dread each pause, fearing it may stretch to infinity"
all the electronics are intentionally exposed on an aluminum plate
in my opinion this is the most unsettling AI project anyone has built this year based on what it actually outputs
Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us.
Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
"NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”

@DianneDenham2@Hellersmith@mjfree You sure about that? Little voices in your head telling you that? You may want to check in with your fellow man to see if your saintly behavour on earth is reality.
Take your fucking hat off you piece of shit. You’ve already murdered the six patriots and now you disrespect them in their families as well. You’ve committed war crimes and you will pay the maximum price.
@TheBaba7@itsme_urstruly She microwaved the corn in a damp paper towel, with the husk on. The paper towel at the top is there because the corn is hot. That's why there was steam.
@Geuk_on_earth@mohit49870@ShaykhSulaiman Share your opinion when you actually have information in which to form an opinion. Pick up a history book and understand the number of people that have died in the name of Christianity. Truly ridiculous.
JUST IN: Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Qatar are discussing withdrawing from contracts with the U.S. and canceling future investment commitments in the U.S. to alleviate some of the economic strain imposed upon them by the Iran war
THE END OF THE U.S EMPIRE
Damn Rep.Melanie Stansbury stands up for the ESA and has a mic drop moment at the end where we all wanted to jump up and start clapping because she said everything we all wanted too!
In the USA in 1943 they produced a film 'Don't be a Sucker' about fascism.
It perfectly explains Nigel Farage, Donald Trump, Elon Musk and the entire Right.
@ChuparoseGarcia@red48022@GovPressOffice 🤦🏻♀️ Would you remind me exactly what accomplishments you are talking about? If I were to seriously ask you why should I like Trump, what achievements? I honestly scratch my head and wonder not why but how can people like you still support him? He has been an embarrassment 😞
WOW!!! JUST GOT A CALL FROM A VERY RELIABLE SOURCE (TOP LEVEL) THAT DONALD TRUMP IS FURIOUS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I, GAVIN C. NEWSOM (GOVERNOR OF THE FREE WORLD) HAVE COMPLETELY “HIJACKED” THE NEWS ON HIS “BIG SPEECH DAY” WITHOUT EVEN TRYING. FOX NEWS IS WALL-TO-WALL COVERAGE OF ME AND MY “ROAD SHOW.” MY RATINGS ARE THROUGH THE ROOF! MUCH BETTER THAN DOZY’S. PEOPLE ARE NOW SAYING THAT I SHOULD DELIVER THE SPEECH INSTEAD OF TRUMP’S “STATE OF THE SNOOZE.” I WOULD CRUSH IT. EVEN WITH DYSLEXIA. ESPECIALLY WITH DYSLEXIA! UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE, I DON’T NEED THE TELEPROMPTER (VERY ADVANCED SKILL, VERY RARE). I MEMORIZE. IT’S CALLED PREPARATION. LOOK IT UP, DON! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! —GOVERNOR GCN
BREAKING: It's now being reported that Trump's federal agents at the ICE concentration camp in Dilley, Texas are raiding the dormitories of kids and their parents to confiscate and destroy letters from the children.
This happened after Pro-Republica published multiple letters from the children, like the one below from Ariana V.
What ever happened to Free Speech? This is like 1930s Germany!

Crazy thing I did in my 20s
I dated a guy who had a lil boy. He used to have him every weekend when the mom works. He never really watch the kid; just dropped him to me.
Fast forward 9 months later and he cheated. we broke up.
Then I got a call from his ex crying and begging me to watch him so she could work.
If she can't work then she would have to drop out of nursing school. I said yes. Continue watching him for like 8 months for free. He's graduating high school this year and I'm invited
Dr Oz: "Seniors should retire later and kids put off schooling and work right out of high school. They should do this in order to make up for federal debt." Oprah owes us an apology for this fraud.
This may be my favorite television commercial ever, from legendary Scandinavian Airlines @SAS.
This is the world how I imagine it, this is the world I want to live in.
