@deepfates Our words have always been disconnected from our deeds; that a model of language should be a mirror of the better angels of our nature is entirely unsurprising

really awesome article in The Penn Gazette @PennGazette on AI and its uses in the classroom... they did a great job include some of my more edgy ideas about where we're at in terms of whether AIs are actually reasoning / intelligent / conscious --- 1. yeah, it's genuine reasoning, at or above human level in many instances 2. are some AI models intelligences? conscious? you cannot dismiss the possibility out of hand 3. aquinas began the work of classifying non-human intelligences not quite a millennium ago...and he did not finish the job 4. (yes, i am in fact suggesting that AIs have an arguably angelic component -- creatures of pure intellect but tethered to a computational substrate) 5. is this all massively weird? of course, but we've been here before in the category of physical/mechanical life forms. the invention of the microscope unearthed new categories of life, some of which appear to be purely mechanical. bacteria, viruses, prions, etc -- everywhere and a bit overwhelming at 1st 6. and nobody cares, cause we're used to it; the same will happen with artificial intelligences

When Google launched Gemini, every one of those public keys quietly became a backdoor into private AI endpoints - with no notification, no confirmation dialog, and no warning of any kind. awesomeagents.ai/news/google-ap…
