AI going after their few paying costumers

Forgot about crypto GPU thing.

Definitely a sign that something is wrong

it’s this the first time I’m modern history that old products get more expensive?

definitely not a good sign

i hoped it was clickbait, because it comes with a flashdrive rather than a disc, because the game won’t fit in a disc.

it doesn’t look like it

ACKTUALLY

Sentient and scent are related, Sentience comes from Latin from “sentiens”, which means feeling. Guess where the word scent comes from?

What gender is three underwear?

Sorry, spent the first year of my PhD learning to spell senescence.

hate to be that guy, but since we created tools that can pass the Turin test. scientience is part of science.

btw, your allowed to have unsolvable philosophical questions at the core of your field.

Biology has no definition of what life is. we biologist just gave up trying to define it. the definition they teach is highschool is BS.

the only two genders,. two underwear or one underwear

it kind of created its own language though. that was cute

Speak for yourself. I’m a Boltzmann brain.

big issue is that “Scentience” is a vibes based definition. I don’t think we have a working definition that we can use.

in the past it was argued (engire global economy based on) that black people weren’t scientient.

The annoying part is that now, “what is scientience” isn’t an abstract esoteric philosophical question. but a material question we are ignoring with serious real life implications.

it isn’t just a test of competency. but the philosophical questions that are brought up afterwards.

It’s like reducing Schrödinger’s cat into an animal abuse experiment and not what it means to have uncolapsed probably waves.

it is more relevant than ever.

it wasn’t a test for sentience, but a thought experiment on what sentience is.

and now that it has been passed, we need to seriously consider what is or isn’t scientient.

and so far, haven’t heard anyone provide a good definition or test. or even guidelines. and more importantly, laws.

if a lab was to create a scientient LLM, are they allowed to turned it off? shouldn it be illegal to try?

How tf can you define sentience?

According to the test, it might be. The biggest reason why it isn’t is according to the capitalist financial interest.

I’m not saying it is. or isn’t.

but we cannot just with this toys that we don’t understand.

that’s the whole fucking point of the Turing test.

that sentence isn’t a strict true or false, and if you can’t tell the difference, then the real question is wether there is a difference.

maybe the only ethical solution is to assume it is and consider using it a form of extremely unethical slavery.

under that lens modern AI is some rick and Morty bullshit. Like imagine creating a life for a menial task then executing it as soon as it’s done. Then everyone discussing it’s competency rather than how fucked up it is.

It is incredible how we forgotten the whole point of the Turning test the moment it became relevant rather than some abstract though experiment.

my ex didn’t care about my migraines, had to mow the lawn with a migraine, but when she got a headache once she ended up calling a fucking ambulance.

That already happens, doge used LLMs to decide which programs to cut.
