- kelseyfrog 24d agoAI is just a next word predictor. It cannot understand the development of guided weapons as it's not conscious.
- RealStupidity 24d agoI'm just a next word predictor too
- bamboozled 24d agoThen society should have the right to end your life as soon as you're no longer useful as you've just reduced yourself to an algorithm, what value do you serve if you're just a next word predictor ? Reducing your self worth like that is a very stupid thing to do.
- lern_too_spel 24d agoHow does describing something reduce its worth?
- willy_k 24d agoIts a grossly incomplete description. A reductive description.
- skeledrew 23d agoWe use incomplete descriptions all the time. Like I could say "I'm an early riser". Is that reductive?
- kelseyfrog 23d agoAll statements are reductive because language is injective to reality.
- nagaiaida 23d agowould you care to share your interpretation of the function of the word "just" upthread? because that would appear to be the operative part doing the reducing that you've conveniently left out here.
- skeledrew 23d agoI could also say "I'm just a teacher". No significant difference made by "just" in this context, beyond giving flavour.
- bamboozled 23d agoThe reason people squash bugs with almost zero guilt is because they see the bugs as "nothing". If people voluntarily advertise themselves as "no things" or "just something" then you make the justification for similar treatment totally fine. How do you think those who who commit genocide see their victims?
- dyauspitr 24d agoThis argument from 2024? We are all next word predictors, what matters is what the next word is.

- kelseyfrog 24d agoI'm only in control of what I do, not what others do. Thus, I only judge myself by my own standards, not of others.
- avmich 24d agoNon sequitur. Can't live in a society and be free of it.
- kelseyfrog 23d agoCategory error. When it comes to judgement, I am.
- distances 24d agoIndeed. My humble opinion is that sarcasm doesn't belong on discussion boards, even with the silly /s marker. Eventually it poisons everything it touches.

- skavi 24d agoHouthis use engineering and education to develop guided weapons
- naveen99 24d agoAnd the democrats expect us to believe Iran is not a puppet government of the United States. I mean Iran, Houthis, even Russia is using Claude… after pentagon pretended to ban Anthropic from the military…
- willy_k 24d agoWait I’m sorry, I’m all for suspecting US involvement in foreign countries because its probably happening, but what are you saying exactly? “The democrats” have had marginal if any power for two years. Any fuckling going on involves POTUS.
- willy_k 24d agoAlso, reality is not a work of fiction. Look for concrete reasons in things, not themes and allusions. Anthropic is used because they have a good product, it’s easy.

- rc5150 23d agoshow us on the doll where the evil democrats touched you. are they here in the room with us now?
- atarian 24d agoI wouldn’t be surprised if Iran’s strategy to shut down the Strait of Hormuz was ideated by AI.
- hallgrim 24d agoAs far as I heard they had that strategy as a possibility for decades, US experts had warned the current and prior administrations about it’s possible ramifications, warning against attacking Iran for exactly this reason. The previous German minister of economy, Robert Habeck, had warned of such a situation a few years ago, too.
