Most of my argument is not about safety. My only mention of it is in _rethorical questions_ that expose the issue of feasibility, which you tried to bring it as a novelty without noticing I already made that point. Go back, read again. When

I am glad we agree on the unfeasibility of the issue. Now, catch up on the remaining of the argument. You only touched my first paragraph. I expected more.

Of course not, bigger risk. And I'm not talking about fear. I said hype.

So, it's unfeasible to either prove or disprove its safety. Claiming there is no scientific basis then is doubly irrelevant, in addition to laws often not requiring scientific studies to be passed. It sounds like it's trying to fo

It sounds like a cheap cash grab to capitalize on the hype. I like the title, it sounds humorous.

Let's be constructive then. Do we have science to support that internet in its current state is safe? What do we need to understand it? Is it even in the realm of feasibility? There is a lot of media articles about the dangers of socia

Any study about nicotine should be taken with an extra grain of salt. There is always a chance something is financed by the tobacco industry. I think it's dangerous to portray nicotine as a cognitive enhancer. Even when that portrayal

It doesn't matter. It's Decartes demon all over again. Problem solved centuries ago. You can skin it however you want, it's the same problem.

That's the least important part of my statement. There is a struggle between those who have power and those who don't. This displacement creates blind spots, and also vantage points.

Warfare is dumb. The class struggle is a perspective. It points to how blind rich people are to social issues, and how blind the poor are to economic issues. These two need the struggle, gently. Without it, there is either bloody revolution

Once a funny little story to make you small and think outside the box. Now, it's just cannon fodder for a platform obsessed by AI. It's a shame.

Any sufficiently large amount of information exchange could be interpreted as computational if you see it as separated parts. It doesn't mean that it is intrinsically computational. Seeing human interactions as computer-like is a side

Contradictions are normal. Humans make them all the time. They're even easy to induce, due to the simplistic nature of our communication (lots of ambiguities, semantic disputes, etc). I don't see how that's a problem. Subject

Honestly, it reminds me of "All Tomorrows" by C. M. Kosemen. The "emotions" part is kind of tongue-in-cheek. I think emotional responses are one of the more mechanical parts of a human being. Ability to demonstrate empat

Media likes to give itself some treats for being so vital to society. Just a little wrong here or there in the name of profit to ease the heavy burden of having the power to shape opinion.

Humans also often get lost in multi-turn conversation. I have experienced that in person many, many times. Jumps in context that seem easy for one person to follow, but very hard for others. So, assuming the paper is legit (arxiv, you never

Anti-cop is anti-government. It's the same thing. Both newer audiences were blinded in several spots and are prevented by group speech to acknowledge some realities. I'm not from the USA, so I see things from a vantage point. I&#x

From my perspective, the kind of loss expected with LLMs does not reveal itself in one generation. What you described is more akin to laziness than loss of knowledge. It is also a trap. Your text is almost satirical to the notion that AI co

There's nothing wrong with continuous learning. I knew that before choosing this career. The issue with recent AI tech is that _I can't learn it_. I have to pay a lot of money (GPU renting or buying outrageous rigs) if I want to d
