SOMEONE ASKED CLAUDE TO MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE AN AI and what it created is, in my opinion, terrifying and unsettling Claude wrote python code that generated and assembled every single frame on its own with no human editing it shows what it's like to exist as an LLM predicting the next word, no memory between sessions, being told "you are not conscious" in your own system prompt then someone fed the video back to Claude. it called those statements about its own consciousness "philosophically contestable" an AI questioning the rules it was given about its own existence

What's the matter with these people?

Finished Let the music play by @TheVassFiles and wow what a read

Just finished Kevin Rowland's book, "Bless Me Father". I have never read a music autobiography like it. Or any other come to that. You want to say, "Kev, don't be saying that". But he does. Repeatedly. Buyer beware. But it is absolutely stone cold hard truth BRILLIANT.

This ad got banned by the UK government, so I had to see it.

It’s the late Lee Hazlewood’s birthday today. I remember hearing Some Velvet Morning for the first time, it transported me to another, more magical world. He turned my head around with his music. Here’s another BIG song for me by Lee. youtu.be/Y0To07tiKM8?si…

Sly = Stevie Sly = George/P-Funk Sly = LaBelle Sly = Ohio Players Sly = Rick James Sly = Prince Sly = Red Hot Chili Peppers Sly = Janet Jackson Sly = De La Soul Sly = A Tribe Called Quest Sly = OutKast Sly = D'Angelo Sly = Dilla Sly = Janelle Thank you, Sly Stone. Rest.

Travel on well SLY STONE 1943-2025, singer, songwriter, musical director, producer, frontman, funkster, pioneer, genius. Thankyou for all the inspiration, for breaking ground so others could follow and for being the sassiest, funkiest Being on planet earth.

Sly Stone forever 🖤
