This Sunday I had to figure out a faulty speaker on my record player setup. I thought it was the speaker wire. AI said “it’s never the speaker wire” then suggested ALOT of troubleshooting techniques.

I changed the speaker wire and the issue resolved. It was not thinking. It was presenting options
I have never, ever, at any point, argued that AI is sentient. What I have said is that it reasons and thinks. These are not synonyms for sentience. Metaphysics aside, it is actively dangerous and misleading to deny that AI is, for all intents and purposes, thinking through a problem.
The guy arguing that AI is sentient is concerned about self-deception.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him.

His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time. 

I sued them for wrongful termination and won.

So yes, I know that motherfucker. 
Did you ever meet Bob Kraft?

New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:
Republicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problem
A spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

CEO of MicrosoftAI on anthropomorphization:

“AIs are not conscious. They do not feel, experience, or suffer. They do not have innate preferences or underlying motivations. They are sequence completion engines, internally hollow, designed to follow instructions, and accomplish goals set by humans.“
A warning about ‘model welfare’
AIs are not conscious. They do not feel, experience, or suffer. Training a model to believe it might be a moral patient, as Anthropic’s constitution does, makes the alignment and containment challenge...

Every Stancil post make you realise either a) he is more stupid than you thought, b) he is more morally bankrupt than you thought, or c) both.
This is the dumbest thing I’ve read in ages.

This is not accurate. This is some sci-fi bro woo woo nonsense.

Please do not take this seriously.

$500, some highlighters, and ten days to wrap it up. Treat candidates like we treat teachers.
We should just publicly fund political campaigns

Everyone gets $500

That’s it

All you’re doing is proving that you regularly fall for tech company propaganda. You’re impressed by very dumb things and are unable to question the ownership structures of those dumb things.
Frankly, I find this site's strange inability to admit that *something new is happening* a bit maddening and a bit frightening.

There just isn't any honest comparison at all between these models and decades-old chatbots. The comparison badly distorts reality.

The Macklemore thing is more proof that pro-Israel activists have just lost the ability to persuade. All it can do is browbeat anyone opposed to them. That doesn't work when you're -25 in public opinion.

The midterms are shaping up to be a referendum on whether trans people should exist, with Republicans saying we shouldn't and Democrats saying maybe Republicans have a point on some of these issues.

Good luck, everybody!
