But, to stretch the analogy, this is basically a car poorly imitating the mechanical operation of a horse, and limiting its own performance to do so.

But we know the long-term effects of obesity, alcoholism, and every other form of spiritual weakness this thing apparently allows people to escape. The long-term effects would have to be comically atrocious for it not to be worth it. Put oz

Having lived through the 90s as a young adult, I can assure you back then the Family Values crowd was just as annoying and censorious as the Woko Haram is today. 2011 seems a bit late for that kind of thing, but it's entirely plausible

Under the latest definition you made up on the spot, yes. And definitely not all. So what's your plan when the fraction keeps shrinking? When you're no longer in it? This is simple interpolation. It is plainly obvious that at some

It's crazy to me people would rather deny the intelligence of a large segment of the human population than admit to the increasing overlap between it and AI. That's what you're doing when you keep moving the goalposts of &quo

It is insane to me that views of consciousness and cognition other than physicalism still exist in mainstream scientific and philosophical discourse. As far as I can tell, no matter how much discourse you dress it up in, any alternative boi

Unfortunately for the intelligence denial crowd, introspection and learning capability is something we can measure, as opposed to the vibes-based discourse you prefer to engage in. If that's what you've picked for your threshold o

>Open disdain for audience is rarely in the mind of the artist Thanks to many artists being incapable of abstaining from Xitter loggorhea, we definitively know this to be false.

You're engaging in explaining away intelligence. One way to help you notice this is to try and estimate how many billions of people you've defined out of "being intelligent" with your latest goalpost movement. Be honest,

Lots of people involved in explaining away AI are labouring under the axiom that intelligence is mysterious. Therefore, if I can understand how a system works, it logically follows that it can't be intelligent.

>The problem with the arts is that nobody really gives a shit. It'a almost as if divorcing the artist class from having to care about public opinion was a bad idea. If you want this to change, the solution is painfully obvious. End

>Because some people keep asserting that LLM’s “don’t count as stealing” People who confidently assert either opinion in this regard are wrong. The lawsuits are still pending. But if I had to bet, I'd bet on the OpenAI side. Even if

I think the harm to consumers would be greater if iOS were forced to adopt the "1998 Linux box" software distribution model. The danger is prominent apps ditching the app store in favour of their own distribution solutions. This i

What argument? Ok, let's say it "should". Now what? Do you agree with state coercion forcing Apple to misdesign its products? If so, that's where you've lost me.

Definitely one of my mathematical peeves. Right up there with people using "exponential" to say "a lot".

Yeah, I don't see how most of everyone involved in artistic content creation comes out of this with economically viable jobs. People will only put up with legacy pricing for so long once AI can do it cheaper and/or better.

I'm assuming state non-intervention if there is no victim. Hopelessly naive of me, I know.

I hate the very idea of "content creation" for its own sake, so this is perfect. Youtube was a million times better when it was people uploading quirky and informative videos about stuff they actually cared about, as opposed to so
