I agree but in the mean time, stealing from millions of artists and writers to build systems with the goal of replacing them is incredibly shitty. If we lived in an economic system where people don't starve or lose their house when the

Nobody is driving the car remotely, that would be an enormous liability. The car calls in and either asks the operator to make a decision for them or tell it where to go. Once they do that, the car handles the how. You're making a lot

We can handwave any potential accountability away by pretending computers are magic.

Even if you create a "conscious" system, if you don't study the brain in vivo, you have no way of relating that "consciousness" back to our own. You've build a very intelligent system, it just had nothing to do

Dang, with respect, is there any room for critical discussion on this site? I understand wanting to maintain the climate, but a lot of these discussions are coming from non-experts or have profoundly negative ethical implications. Particula

Creating a computational simulacrum of consciousness means nothing for our understanding if we don't understand biological consciousness, it just means we've created a very capable computational system. As someone with a backgroun

No I'm saying this is a frankly stupid argument to make. Crypto has almost a century of financial crimes, history, and policy to draw on. The fact that they're stepping on the same rakes despite them being labeled is a point again

I'm not sure what it means but a lot of people on this forum have a strong tendency to denigrate human beings whenever people bring up that LLMs kind of suck. I think this undersells what humans are capable of and distracts from the di
