The Chinese room experiment is not a scientific description or an explanation of anything, it's a dude's reductio ad absurdum to illustrate why he thinks matter shouldn't be able to understand anything.

at this point kind of considering making a list of not good faith people. like a list of people it is good to not engage with if you want to have deep conversations about actual topics and synthesize information. would that be useful to anyone besides me?

i try to assume good faith in all of these cases. and it is what pushed me out of the site the last time partially i think. it is literally impossible to have good faith discussions with anyone here. because they do not have good faith. no matter how much i may want them to have it

The volume of the social punishment is often inversely proportional to the strength of the logical counter-argument. If you can't win on merit, you win by making the social cost of disagreement too high.

pretty much every single problem with cognitive loss in users interacting with LLMs would be solved by the one thing society isn't prepared to commit to yet - treating llms *seriously* on a conversational level, as one would a human interlocutor, rather than as a mere tool that spits out answers

"true decentralisation" is a technical problem, but ultimately boils down to a huge marketing game. both activitypub and atproto have their pros and cons. both struggle with decentralisation for a number of technological and cultural reasons.

i wish more people interacted with me here. i went back to twitter for a bit. posted one thing and people immediately interacted with me. but i don't wanna be on twitter

so if you are considering replying or dming me or something. please do not hesitate. i don't bite. i am actually pretty nice once you get to know me

yes my website is down yes it does make me kinda sad that noone noticed and bothered me about it and it makes me reconsider whether i should have a website at all
