We can prove humans are conscious. You're the proof, and so am I. It's not a property that has to be constructed from proofs, but one of the certainties that makes all the rest of your universe possible. But people think that just

I come to an identical conclusion over and over again, and couldn't have put it better myself.

The fact that it's a hugely complicated yet nevertheless completely abstract machine of pure logic which isn't running in the thought experiment's universe of pure text but within our phenomenally complex universe of meat and

One of the issues is that you're mixing up consciousness, sentience, intelligence, and aliveness (you're far from alone in this). We know these are all linked things but it's hard to neatly delimit them and clarify the terms,

Only if you first define us as a machine then you win by default. I’m a human, with all the complexities and contradictions and paradoxes that involves. Machines are tools we create.

Maybe in mathematics but not in philosophy because eventually you have to decide on the certainties without which the universe cannot be made sense of or reconstructed from proofs. If I pricked you with a pin, I would be certain that it hur

It’s really trivial to prove but the issue is that sentience is not something you need to negate out of existence and then attempt reconstruct out of epistemological proofs. You’re not faking it, and if you were, then turn your sentience of

“Anything too stupid to be spoken is sung” You’re seeking to lock down meaning and clarification in a song where such an exercise has purposefully been defeated to resist proper analysis. I was responding to the comment about it being a “no

Who is we? You mean you think that? It’s part of the lyrics in my understanding of the song. Particularly because it’s in part inspired by the nonsense verse of Lewis Carrol. Snark, slithey, mimsy, borogrove, jub jub bird, jabberwock are po

Second this comment. The Tao Te Ching is about as close to a “right answer” in metaphysics as we’re likely to get. Even after going around the houses for 2500 years, eventually philosophy reached Wittgenstein who had to hold his hands up an

Nah, they get dragged down and ignored. Teachers only really teach the middle third - the top third can be ignored because they can do it for themselves while being bored. The bottom third can’t be helped because they won’t be helped withou

You do have to question the usefulness of Big Tech burning all that profit to the ground in order to buy GPUs though.

Yeah the profundity of the slop churned out by Sora is really something to behold. Veritably the pinnacle of millennia of human art and creativity.

The majority of people are already doing ”bullshit jobs” and many of them know it too. Using AI to automate the bullshit and capture the value leaves them with nothing. The AI evangelists generally overlook that one of the primary things th
