@nerd_dorkian @CeeHawk That’s a real human artist - you don’t even know the difference- just hate for hate’s sake.

@nerd_dorkian @CeeHawk This is better than most art

Generative AI dying in front of us is… it’s so pleasing man. Like… Everyone can play basketball. Everyone can’t play basketball professionally. It’s not an issue of fairness, it’s an understanding and appreciation of skill, effort and dedication. No fisher-price-ing ART.

@thisisdmt01 This - all day! open.spotify.com/album/0PeKuUnT…

upcoming artists, let’s go again drop your music link in the comment section, someone might fvck with your sound…. let’s go 🚀

@MattAllenAI @RZA @MrChuckD - this is sad.

All because this guy called out DJ Pain for dissing @RZA for making the amazing video for Mandingo. #soft

All because I called him out for dissing RZA - very sensitive man.

@djpain1 Don’t tell me, tell RZA.

People do NOT want AI music or unlabeled AI music.

@djpain1 @lucatimusic That may be true but I’d love one of our AI “artists” to battle any human of your choice and see who wins in a blind test.

@Tech_girlll Then this would be the perfect quote for a tombstone when AI kills us all by 2030

What if AI is the biggest tech illusion of our generation?

@minchoi I am a friend! Yay!

@MaMoMVPY What’s a human?

No Claude do not have an IQ of anything. It is a prediction machine. A prediction machine trained on more data now than 3 years ago. But that's all. It has ZERO intelligence.

@grok what does this mean?

@MrChuckD idea - you & Afroman collaboration

@motionswago Anything by Lux & Lotus

what song are you listening to right now?

@sandeepnailwal But you’re making a massive assumption - the assumption is that humans are conscious. That might not be true. We might be meat computers.

LLM based AI is NOT conscious. I co-founded a company literally called Sentient, we're building reasoning systems for AGI, so believe me when I say this. I keep seeing smart people, people I genuinely respect, come out and say that AI has crossed into some kind of awareness. That it feels things, that we should worry about it going rogue. And i think this whole conversation tells us way more about ourselves than it does about AI. These models are wild, i won't pretend otherwise. But feeling human and actually having inner experience are completely different things and we're confusing the two because our brains literally can't help it. We evolved to see minds everywhere and now that wiring is misfiring on language models. I grew up in a philosophical tradition that has thought about consciousness longer than almost any other, and this is the part that really frustrates me about the current conversation. The entire framing of "does AI have consciousness?" assumes consciousness is something you build up to by adding more layers of complexity. In Vedantic philosophy it's the opposite. You don't build toward consciousness. Consciousness is already there, more fundamental than matter or energy. Everything else, including computation, is downstream of it. When someone tells me AI is "waking up" because it generated a paragraph that felt real, what they're telling me is how thin our understanding of consciousness has gotten. We've reduced a question humans have wrestled with for thousands of years to "did the output sound like it had feelings?" It's math that has gotten really good at predicting what a conscious being would say and do next. Calling that consciousness cheapens something that Vedantic, Buddhist, Greek and Sufi thinkers spent millennia actually sitting with. We didn't build something that thinks. We built a mirror and right now a lot of very smart people are mistaking the reflection for something looking back.

Is the A.I. world inevitable?

@RubiJenkins2003 This one is killer! open.spotify.com/track/0Z47eSYA…

I need some new music 💋

@MatthewBerman Also, you’re very good at your job and I am also going through t something similar. As a WGA screenwriter I’m very aware that AI is inevitable and spells the dawn of something new that might be very unpleasant for all of us.

@MatthewBerman To be fair, it’s also your job so I don’t think you’re going through AI psychosis exactly

I’m genuinely struggling to think about anything but AI. My mind constantly goes back to it. It’s becoming a problem.
