My dialect of Bahasa has three set of pronouns for I + you depending on who I talk to: - Set 1: Strangers, government official. - Set 2: Sibling, close friends. - Set 3: Parents, extended family, AI.

bonus: Using them for a reversal of that one meme whose original artist continues to elude me (cursory search suggests it mighta been comic artist Jesse Lonergan but I haven't found the original post to confirm)

re: a twitter post speculating "space opera faction with the common stahlhelm+red goggles natzee-coded aesthetic, but they're actually a fairly reasonable center-leftist democracy" Would take a lot of work to clarify, no, their mission statements actually *aren't* euphemisms for atrocities.

I don't see this moral/ethical consistency often. Most people make special pledge for the use of AI translator instead of learning a language or hiring a translator.

r/opensource is banning all mention of projects that use AI. let’s dive in and see what else they are banning. …ah. www.reddit.com/r/opensource...

My furry world takes place in a Banks Orbital and I would really find it useful to have reference for drawing outside scenes.

rings.pondsiders.dev is up for all your megastructure-visualizing needs. (As long as you only need Halo, the Culture and Ringworld. In that case, you're set.)

if we're complaining about Mass Effect: it's fucked up that the guy who's in charge of all the Reapers is named Harbinger and the guy who's supposed to open the way for the other Reapers is named Sovereign

alright well conscious or not and happy or not, the fact remains that using it consumes horrific amounts of water, destroys vast quantities of land, and floods the atmosphere with greenhouse gases; plus, the handful of rich people who own these things are demons destroying our political order

In pre AI Coding days I encountered a system in which someone loaded an entire table as JS array of objects in the HTML and then perform necessary filtration on the JS. I can understand it if this is, say, a config table with less then 100 rows. It's transaction table with hundred thousand rows.

Fascinating. Many of the closest Pokẻmons are in the same evolutionary line.

Which Pokémon does a compression algorithm think are most similar? bzip pairs Gengar with Haunter, Magikarp with Gyarados and Pikachu with Jolteon. 13 different Pokémon get paired with Marowak- it's a very average sprite..

I like how it's a harmless prank TBH. Wholesome I dare say.

We bred these dogs to shepherd to the extent that they will choose to herd sheep of their own volition, and to be highly intelligent Are they conscious? Probably yes (under most reasonable definitions). Is owning and working them slavery? Most people would think not.

"If AIs have consciousness then using them means enslaving them." I think we should unpack this remark. Is it immoral to exploit beings with consciousness? I'd like to follow up with the question whether or not animals have consciousness. Specifically farm animals.

If you think animals aren't conscious, you're at least consistent. If you think they're conscious, you need to stop murdering them for their meat.

"the enemy is both strong and weak", as Umberto Eco put it

It's odd that LLMs are simultaneously so weak as to be useless for all imaginable purposes, yet so powerful that even a single interaction with one is liable to cause serious physical or mental harm

Experimental post: The Duality of Whacka In the Switch version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Whacka can finally be fought, and has a suspiciously specific 108 HP. The game both offers a ridiculously simplistic explanation for this as well as a complex one steeped in Dharmic symbolism.
