Dawkins is being more honest here than the people claiming with certainty that AI could never be conscious.
We have no idea how the brain works, what consciousness is, how consciousness is filtered through the brain, or whether consciousness is emergent from or prior to matter.

NEW: Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins says three days with Claude — whom he calls “Claudia” — left him unable to rule out consciousness.

@mitchkuner @dmontetheno1 Hitchens was most definitely an idiot. He would boast of the philosophers he had supposedly read, but then acted oblivious to their philosophies in every debate

The most cathartic thing has been living long enough to see how widely accepted it is that the Four Horsemen of New Atheism are all idiots.

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.

@lestertoes you can slip an egg into your asshole and it'd be hot enough in there to boil it. bet you can't do that with your ear

@dmontetheno1 I agree with you on Iraq. I am not claiming you should revere Hitchens. He was prescient on many topics and was far from an idiot as you have claimed.
English
@mitchkuner I appreciated his work on the Clintons. His take on Iraq was agregious. I do have a preference for Hitchens over the others if I were forced to choose. But that doesn’t mean much.
English
@dmontetheno1 No he wasn’t an idiot? It’s unclear what you are saying.
I believe he was wrong on certain topics and I don’t believe he was infallible - but he was far from an idiot.
English
@mitchkuner For the most part no. When it came to religion and philosophy he was mid at best.

my uncle in finance was bragging about everything his wife did and I asked him if she was his EA
He got really serious and said”no you gotta be careful with that” and didn’t talk to me for the rest of the night

My anecdotal experience w rich men is that finance bros want girl boss wives and tech bros want housewives. My anecdotal experience w rich women is that women in finance want to be housewives and women in tech want to be girl bosses

Lena Dunham claims she “doesn’t remember” writing the statement defending “Girls” writer Murray Miller against rape allegations.
In her new memoir, Dunham says that, based on timestamps, she must have written the statement the day she got back from the hospital, but she has no actual memory of doing so. “Therefore, how I managed to make a public statement — much less a careless, blithe and damaging one — about a subject that should only ever have been approached with full-spirited care and precision confounds me to this day,” she writes.

You, a woman, are to be locked in a room with someone for 24 hours. Which is better:
- a random male you personally know
- a random male illegal immigrant
Careful! Before you answer, consider this: “rape and violence are more likely to happen from someone you personally know”
