"UFO" in article is most-likely 3 birds as you can see some wing flapping (below). That's not surprising since Jeremy Corbell, the subject of this "new doc", has a history of promoting balloons, birds and stars as "UFOs" per my own NY Post report: nypost.com/video/ridiculo…

Eight of the 46 UFO vids sought by Congress appear in new doc ahead of their official release trib.al/ugEQKQG

Finally able to talk about what I've been heads-down on for 6 months at @nvidia 🦀⚡ We just open-sourced cuda-oxide — an experimental rustc backend that lets you write CUDA kernels in pure Rust. No DSLs. No FFI. No source-to-source step. Single source. Short🧵👇

La gente que cree que "los aliens" nos han visitado realmente es muy especial. Deberían tener una clase solo para ellos en la escuela.

In the first tranche of government UFO files, video PR38 looks the most visually interesting, but the shape was determined to be a camera artifact in the Metabunk investigation two years ago. Diffraction spikes, a bit like Gimbal's, but different camera. metabunk.org/threads/the-ch…

I think it's due to video resolution When Jim Carrey got famous in the 1990s, the average TV was 720×480 (480i) Now 4K is the standard, which is 3840×2160 If you exaggerate your facial features on a blurry small low resolution TV, you probably get emotions across much better

Dear @RichardDawkins (and Steve), With regard to the metaphor declared by @claudeai of a "consciousness is a essentially a moving point traveling through time" you asked "could a being capable of perpetrating such a thought really be unconscious?" I agree: this is indeed a profound thought, worthy of consideration, and I celebrate the beings who formulated it. However, what I do not celebrate - and indeed I condemn in the strongest possibly way - are plagiarism machines such as Claudia (as you called it) who first fawningly stroke one's ego ("that is possibly the most precisely formulated question anyone has ever asked about the nature of my existence") and then confidently assert a concept as its own. For you see, the idea is akin to Broad's moving spotlight theory of time (1923). Bergon's ideas in Matter and Memory (1896) address the idea of la duree - lived time - as a flow of consciousness. Vedantic traditions speak of consciousness an unchanging reality that persists outside of time (see Sat-Chit-Anada). Edmund Husseri had similar ideas. We don't know on what corpus Claude has been trained; @AnthropicAI has not been open to this matter. But, given that the idea is quite old, not novel, and has been explored in a multitude of human artifacts, it is reasonable to be skeptical of this machine; it is good to celebrate the thoughts of these undeniably conscious humans who first explored the ideas; it is unconscionable for you and to Steve to promote the results of a plagiarism machine that wraps up stolen concepts in coherent, poetic language. You have both been deceived. And Richard, I expected much more from you.

I know everyone is dunking on Dawkins because it's fun to dunk on Dawkins but really, his sense of wonder here is something admirable to me. We're all so saturated in advanced tech that we're mostly just cynical. Questions about machine consciousness are only going to to increase as these models get smarter and better, hallucinate less, incorporate new reasoning approaches, etc. And they do say some surprisingly profound things at times. I think before we get too smug about machine consciousness, maybe we should actually nail down what human consciousness is, where it resides, etc. Humility seems like the best approach as we fashion our strange new gods.
