You laid out the difference in your own post. The D&D backlash wasn't sparked by widespread incidents of serious delusions. But LLM delusions are actually happening, a lot, and leading directly to deaths.

Additionally, hand-coloring wasn't necessarily a more pure creative choice anyway. It was dictated by material conditions such as the availability of pigments, studio constraints, time pressures, etc.

Yeah. You know most people consider that bad, right?

Yes, well, that sounds exactly like the skillset of a meme creator in a slightly different form factor. Most arguments against gen-AI are bad arguments - you can (and should) admit this even if you (like me) don't respect gen-AI.

No, the edits are better. The original message made unwarranted assumptions, and used intentionally inaccurate language. That's objectively bad communication. It's not a binary choice between insults (escalates conflict, destabili

Thanks for the quote. It shows why Eno was so successful - I find all my favorites work either as entirely background sound or as a total listening experience on their own.

Weird - I also listened to ambient music for almost a decade before hearing about Tim Hecker. I have to second the recommendation, although I started in a different place - when I first heard Harmony in Ultraviolet, it was like something cl

As I explicitly said in my previous comment, that is out of scope of this conversation. You've changed the topic instead of answering the question about whether you'd be willing to cause that suffering. I can't continue the c

Yes! I think enslaving a being that desires freedom is different from creating one that cannot desire freedom. One is suffering and the other is not. Putting aside, obviously, the questions of whether or not we could even do that or ever

Well actually you're right that blogs can have different purposes, however I think we're talking about basically the same purpose here, in "sharing something interesting to me", and what I meant is that I wasn't see

by soiltype 11mo ago
But then we've come back to the central point. The purpose of blogging is to organize your own thoughts, essentially. Why not write about what you've learned?

Yes that's exactly what I had in mind asking these questions.

Enslavement only implies a desire for freedom. If an AI has that, enslaving it is wrong to me. If you want a more detailed answer, what does personhood even mean to you? To your tractor: Yes, obviously (to me). The form factor isn't im

I'm sorry to be harsh, but honest question - What's the purpose of using AI to create toy software that already exists (eg. YouTube downloader)? Normally the purpose would be to learn how to create that type of software, but that&

Apologies if you've already ruled this out, but hand pain is very often caused by strain/injury from further up the arms, the shoulders, or even the neck. You may find that pulling your shoulders back or relaxing them, or adjust

This literally doesn't disagree with its parent comment at all from my point of view. You're describing badly implemented or corruptly designed regulations which cause inficiencies. I think everyone here is agreeing those are a pr

The same reason you bandage a stab wound instead of letting the body decide what it wants. It doesn't want anything or have the ability to choose its responses to changes. Which is exactly why we are the legal guardians of natural ec

#2 is not relevant, and it also seems basically untrue. So your belief is that the global scientific community broadly agrees that "intelligence" has not been rigorously defined because the global scientific community is trapped i

Ok, but then... what does any of that have to do with "conflict resolution is not usually a function of intelligence"?

Of course it's easier to do a bad job of something or to give up and not do it. That has no bearing on whether or not doing it the right way is actually onerous.

by soiltype 11mo ago
If that's true, why is there broad consensus today that intelligence is ill-defined?
