Daniel Dennett

This is my last tweet. The more I learn about Musk’s projects the less I want to associate with any of them. DCD

Fox could do the nation a great service by asking for a show of hands of the candidates : raise your hand if you believe Biden was legally elected president in 2020. Any who didn’t raise their hands would then be asked what evidence they were relying on

Thanks, Lisa Bortolotti, for seeing the point of our paper! May it get many more readers and reactions! awaisaftab.substack.com/p/mixed-bag-19…

@dr_duchesne A grotesque and deliberate distortion of what I said. Shame on you.

Dennet, the man of science, said: "if I encountered [white] people conveying a message [based on science] I thought was so dangerous that I could not risk giving it a fair hearing, I would be at least strongly tempted to misrepresent it, to caricature it for the public good."

The same Dennett who condemned lying about scientific facts has argued that "dangerous scientific findings" that undermine liberal diversity (IQ inequalities between races, evolutionary benefits of white ethnocentrism) should be factually misrepresented and caricatured in public

@nescio13 @TheAtlantic @harari_yuval @TheEconomist This gets it right. Schliesser didn't stress that these counterfeit people will reproduce, which will very soon create an uncontrollable pandemic if we don't take steps NOW to regulate. LLMs, like other viruses, don't have to be intelligent to get us to reproduce them.

@CrispinSartwell No, I was trying, unsuccessfully alas, to dissuade you, privately, from being such a jerk. Oh well, I tried. Had you taken my advice, I would never have mentioned you again, as I promised.

Sometimes when I get insulted, I too go all 'aww, you chose the wrong bubba, bubba!' But is @danieldennett really, like, threatening me in this private email to sartwelc@dickinson.ed ? Maybe he'll call my dean? Wait we better all go back and look at what I said.

ted.com/talks/tom_grah… Counterfeit people. This should be much more worrying than Chris Anderson acknowledges.

@CrispinSartwell This is a fine example of competence without comprehension--on a very serious issue, so my hunch is that "Crispin Sartwell" is a chatbot that is best ignored.

I hear that Martin Amis is relieved to have died before the launch of @danieldennett's suggested roundup of actual people (such as novelists) who create counterfeit people. Generously, though, Dennett says no novelist death penalty, just life in prison. splicetoday.com/politics-and-m…

@CrispinSartwell Heroically obtuse misreading of a very serious issue. My hunch is that “crispin sartwell” is a chatbot to be ignored.

Almost as bad are the critics who 'passed along' Amis's counterfeit people. Don't get me started on the book clubs. Round-up is coming!
