splashing off the sea i wish i was this fading foam on a cold steel rail

@teozard não a conversa a ter é sobre não meterem o preço final nas etiquetas do supermercado, porque o imposto é diferente de terrinha para terrinha ou o crl

После срача с японцами на тему пиратства, предлагаю прийти к американцам и уточнить за чаевые 🤗😌

@AkaiCaillou i agree with y'all but why the fuck do you call men "XY"s. do y'all really have to be transphobic about this

un truc que j'ai appris aussi, c'est qu'il est cependant possible de créer le simulacre d'une amitié intime, si vous lui montrez que vous désirez sa présence/aide dans des aspects non romantico-sexuels de votre vie. se sentir utile à votre bien-être détournera son désir inassouvi

@jessespafford 1 = 100% what's your issue

@InVitroFuture @zanyfen @morallawwithin oh i don't think LLMs are moral patients or, if they are, it's in a very different way from us. does data die if we shoot him? not if he's been backed up somewhere

@kihelpata @zanyfen @morallawwithin as opposed to the parts that do lossy semitextual information processing about this, which I hope will be of some value to others but which I don't think have any inherent claim to be treated as such. And if it is the latter you care most about, I'm not sure LLMs are any better

Less than 10% is insane sorry

@InVitroFuture @zanyfen @morallawwithin --- but all these limitations seem to obfuscate the point that, just like data, they are able to hold a conversation convincingly, which is presumably what makes me say that data is conscious in the first place

@InVitroFuture @zanyfen @morallawwithin but maybe you'd say he isn't? like idk if there's anything data can do that an LLM of today can't, because the limitations of LLMs are kind of trivial --- they degrade over long chat windows and have bad memory, and yeah they don't have always-on cameras to take in sense data etc

@InVitroFuture @zanyfen @morallawwithin big role in frog subjective experience

@InVitroFuture @zanyfen @morallawwithin i don't know enough about frog brains to answer this well, but - i think that frog subjective experience exists, but is different from "human consciousness" in some relevant senses - i think other bits of the frog brain that are doing whatever the cortex is doing in us play a

@InVitroFuture @zanyfen @morallawwithin to keep the cortex going; i'm just not convinced that that something accounts for the richness of human consciousness

@InVitroFuture @zanyfen @morallawwithin besides, we shouldn't expect isolated cortex to behave normally; it doesn't exist isolated in the wild! but that argument is more like "heartless animals lose brain function, therefore the heart is necessary for consciousness". certainly the rest of the brain is doing something

@zanyfen @InVitroFuture @morallawwithin i just do not believe that consciousness is meaningfully related to animalness at a fundamental level. take away all of my drives, take away all of my feelings, take away my brainstems need to control my heart and my breathing — i can still see, and think, and speak

@zanyfen @InVitroFuture @morallawwithin and i also take a functionalist approach, because i'm open to the option of "weird consciousness". if i'm focused on a structure (esp. one as primitive as the brainstem) then i'm at the outset excluding a bunch of things that don't have that structure but could be conscious

@ellagoer_t4t or that the woman is falling back

@ellagoer_t4t like that drawing fully looks like it's "shot" from a low angle

Lol holy shit this is making me so dysphoric
