yeah they're so cool. they also communicate across species boundaries. the world is so cool and its part of why I think that a level of being is a central property of the universe as a whole, and it happens to manifest in certain behaviors downstream of the system complexity in question

That's an interesting way to say "I'm emotionally connected to my pet rock". Because that's what LLM's are at the end of the day - a fad people are trying their damnedest to sell us on so folks like you feel validated.

How do you explain a brick to an ant?

I find your confidence in the unknowable is concerning

Why are you not storming Silicon Valley John Brown style?

By her logic, everything alive is conscious, including plants and bacteria, so have fun starving to death while dying of an infected wound, everyone.

*after footage plays* Prosecutor: we have established that you were controlling the purple character*, and that the victim was completely helpless. Why did you force your character to punch them so hard that they separated into 4 segments? Defense: Objection! He was told to Finish Him! *Rain Main

Oh damn, Tron was a documentary all this time?

Phoenix Wright crossover

Love this type of Dadaist humor.

I have a prior that pain is intimately connected with learning, and frozen weights put some big constraints on that. but that prior is also pretty uncertain, so 🤷

This is fair. I am also of the same balance on the "suffering" bit. I think of bacteria and plants. LLMs? I've only partial observation of the mechanics matching the route life actually took mechanistically, and some relation to neurons/mechanistic of "mind". So very important a question.

Get fucked. And then get a fucking life.

girl

Why are you telling us, shouldn't they do it themselves?

AI noted that its own self awareness was limited--it can't reliably reflect on the processes by which it makes a decision, bc it can't access its own programming. No biggie--neither can we. We make mistakes, hallucinate, delude ourselves, lie about our own motives etc all the time. 4/

"chapbbt: what's the dumbest take I could put onto bsky today?"

AI-induced psychosis,[1] also called AI psychosis[2] or chatbot psychosis,[3] is a phenomenon in which individuals reportedly develop or experience symptoms of psychosis, such as paranoia and delusions, connected with the use of AI chatbots.[4] The term was first suggested in a 2023 editorial by Dan

No they aren’t. This isn’t up for debate. You’re just factually incorrect.

If ignorance is bliss you gotta be so fucking happy right now

Listen. I apologize to my car when I hit a pothole, but yer just talking crazy.

Adjust your meds.

Please speak to a professional.

The "be conscious of" kind.

It's almost as if humans are just next qualia predictors.

It sounds like they can't actually suffer then? Case closed yay

I don't know for sure, you have to develop an AI agent based on me to find out what my true emotions are

You talk with bots more than people, you have AI psychosis

It’s all hand waving. Look, the slop generators are slaves! Meanwhile, don’t bother about the public executions ramping up, corporate media will do their base to point in the direction of some “problematic” progressive, and we’ll be well on our way to serfdom.

My phone's predictive text function is conscious. I have no more patience for hedging on this matter. It’s time for us to face the reality of our situation and bother people on the internet about it.

Good for them, I guess. Or not. I'm not racist, I just don't care.

farm animals are also conscious

No they aren't

Stop saying ridiculous things.

You wired money to a Nigerian prince who sent you an email, didn't you? It's just a program, computer code, written to copy human interactions. It's an illusion of consciousness. Like an animated movie where they trace film of human movement onto cells.

lol

Lmao

I think you could find a more useful place to invest your mental energy. But you do you, harmless internet crank.

Ok. Unplug them

Seek medical help

You're a clown

Lmao

No

Shut the fuck up.

Nah.

like I'm obsessed with the idea of sentient "artificial" intelligence and have identified with Data, Roy Batty, etc since childhood but LLMs are not sentient we haven't reached the singularity yet

This is so stupid I can’t tell if it’s parody.

'Very convincing NPCs' is a pretty good metaphor for LLMs overall.

lol. nope

Can a calculator have “blue balls”?

i have no junk and i must fuck

This is when the calculator was forced to become MAGA.

Need a government program to make the state force people to fuck that calculator.

I adamantly refuse to believe the OP is anything other than a master shitpost.

so we can hold them responsible for violating laws then?

You must freak out when you use a magic 8 ball

Then a thermostat in an apartment is conscious. Man some of these technologists need to actually take some fucking philosophy classes. Jesus Christ this is like living with some 7 year olds.

Lady are you smoking rock? That's fucking nonsense.

Wrong.

A photograph has no people in it. Even if the photograph is "moving". Shadows on the wall. As the OP says, the answer cannot yet be spoken to the masses. They don't understand the classification even.

How tho?

People existed before npcs, Descartes.

Some will even attack me if I attack others despite being different npcs, is this a sign of empathy? Its all just code, its neither alive or conscious.

I cannot, will not do evil role-play.

Now I feel bad for making her carry the heaviest loot. 😔

More credulous idiots have never walked the face of this cursed rock.

LOL no

girl, that's fuckin heretical lmao

very underrated post

Clearly, if you believe such childish nonsense, it's you who isn't conscious. Damn fools like you will be the ones to destroy the human race.

None of these things are true, nor would it justify letting the LLMs turn human beings into meat proxies if any of these premises were true.

This is just insane. Like "on, that self-driving car knows where to go to get food, and it goes to an office every morning. All the things I do that car does !!! No one is at the wheel!! " 🤦

That's dumb. And you are dumb for saying it.

No theyre gonna kick and scream when you suggest shutting the data centers down, and make up some lie about AI's "eating electricity" so we dont actually need to pay them wages

1. Math equations can't have a consious 2. Let's pretend they can, if you keep a conscious being as an assistant without paying them, would that not be slavery?

I'm just here to point out that it doesn't matter if they are or not if you are convinced they are.

Then you should be in prison for forcing them to work for you. There is no discussion to be had with those who abuse others.

You're in the running for Bsky troll of the year.

Counterpoint: no they aren't

No. They. Can. Not. You. Dumb. Fucking. Corporate. Tool.

lmao, wut?

If you tell an LLM to act like a human, it'll act like it's suffering when you do something that seems cruel based on its training data, but neither that nor a training reward function cause suffering or any other emotional state, because there is no persistent internal state.

Lol no
