That's actually really interesting about all ads being public like that! Didn't know that. Is it because of some regulatory requirement or just because it's useful business wise? (anyway many of the coca cola ads you linked h

By and large most people don't see any problem with marketing, they will actually get a little bit mad at the suggestion it should be abolished, evidently it fulfills some kind of need for them. All these kinds of questions you're

idk about tobacco but the vast majority of normal people see no great problem with industrially produced food. By my reckoning if you say at a party you work for Unilever or something the most you'll get is an "oh that's cool

We could use the "Chinese room" term to denote a system that superficially mimicks human speech, but breaks down at some point and/or uses different mechanisms such that it doesn't result in consciousness. But I don&#x

> That just isn't true, there are no straightforward refutations of the Chinese Room that are widely accepted. Yes there is, the systems reply is the obvious and correct answer. Philosophers that disagree are simply wrong. In the e

It is a helpful pointer for people who might otherwise assume that a well-known argument by a famous philosopher is sound without checking too deeply. Straightforward refutations can be found on wikipedia or by thinking about it.

Searle's Chinese Room argument is wrong.

Thanks for the clarification, though "you made that up" is pretty strong. I still don't see how "we can't care so much or we'll enter some pretty alarming priority inversions" is anything but an argument f

This kind of debate would be improved by not using the word "just". You cannot say AI is "just" X or Y. You can say that it is X or Y, but you still have to prove separately how and why this means it's not something

by bondarchuk 4mo ago
You are arguing from consequences, it's not a valid argument. "If we consider AIs to be conscious it would be a alarming, therefore they are not conscious".

I don't get it. If pensions stopped existing, would people stop doing PE even though it's profitable? If it is possible to get outsized returns "because pensions need them" then isn't somebody gonna notice and get t

The article intentionally obfuscates the difference between images depicting sexual abuse that did not happen, and actual sexual abuse. Ironically this makes it harder to address the problem on the level where the actual abuse happens i.e.

Isn't it true? You are reacting to me with a fervor that lends its intensity from the moral values around actual physical sex with actual minors, but nothing of that kind occured here.

by bondarchuk 4mo ago
Nevertheless there is almost a moral equivocation between images of sex and actual sex by some people. We are talking about restraining someone physically inside a 2 by 3 meter box for multiple years as a retribution for what is after all j

Almost noone is really "evil" in this stereotypical way, it is a thoroughly unhelpful way to view these things, it's more like criminal negligence that people who work for the government to handle medical data still don'

To someone who is shocked at the prevalence of female genital mutilation in other cultures, the widespread acceptance of other types of genital mutilation in (probably) their own culture is an important piece of context, I'd say.

This was dead, I vouched for it, I think it's a good point. Form does not determine the truthfulness of content.
