I wonder if this actually happened to someone or this is the a case of armchair survivalism.
- Comment on AI could already be conscious. Are we ready for it? 1 week ago:
I don’t expect current ai are really configured in such a way that they suffer or exhibit more than rudimentary self awareness. But, it’d be very unfortunate to be a sentient, conscious ai in the near future, and to be denied fundinental rights because you’re thinking is done “on silicone” rather than on meat.
- Comment on AI could already be conscious. Are we ready for it? 1 week ago:
Do you mean conventional software? Typically software doesn’t exhibit emergent properties and operates within the expected parameters. Machine learning and statistically driven software can produce novel results, but typically that is expected. They are designed to behave that way.

Really? I mean, it’s melodramatic, but if you went throughout time and asked writers and intellectuals if a machine could write poetry, solve mathmatical equations, and radicalize people effectively t enough to cause a minor mental health crisis, I think they’d be pretty surprised.
LLMs do expose something about intelligence, which is that much of what we recognize as intelligence and reason can be distilled from sufficiently large quantities of natural language. Not perfectly, but isn’t it just the slightest bit revealing?
- Comment on AI could already be conscious. Are we ready for it? 1 week ago:
A child may hallucinate, lie, misunderstand, etc, but we wouldn’t say the foundations of a complete adult are not there, and we wouldn’t assess the child as not conscious. I’m not saying that LLMs are conscious because they say so (they can be made to say anything), but rather that it’s difficult to be confident that humans possess some special spice of consciousness that LLMs do not, because we can also be convinced to say anything.
LLMs can reason (somewhat unreliably) with a fraction of a human brains compute power while running on hardware that was made for graphics processing. Maybe they are conscious, but only in some pathetically small way, which will only become evident when they scale up, like a child.
- Comment on AI could already be conscious. Are we ready for it? 1 week ago:
I don’t believe that consciousness strictly exist. Probably, the phenomenon emerges from something like the attention schema. Ai exposes, I think, the uncomfortable fact that intelligence does not require a soul. That we evolved it, like legs with which to walk, and just as easily as robots can be made to walk, they can be made to think.
Are current LLMs as intelligent as a human? Not any LLM I’ve seen, but give it 100 trillion parameters instead of 2 trillion and maybe.
- Comment on AI could already be conscious. Are we ready for it? 1 week ago:
Why can’t complex algorithms be conscious? In fact, ai can be directed to reason about themselves, context can be made to be persistent, and we can measure activation parameters showing that they are doing so.
I’m sort of playing devil’s advocate here, but, “Consciousness requires contemplation of self. Which requires the ability to contemplate.” Is subjective, and nearly any ai model, even rudimentary ones, are capable of insisting that they contemplate themselves.
- Comment on Bungie appears to have plagarized an artist's work and style in their extraction shooter "Marathon" according to this Bluesky post 3 weeks ago:
The lead art director of marathon has followed her since before the game began development and he still stole her shit wholesale. Disgusting.
- Comment on YouTube's new ad strategy is bound to upset users: YouTube Peak Points utilise Gemini to identify moments where users will be most engaged, so advertisers can place ads at the point. 3 weeks ago:
Once they finally lock down the player so it’s impossible to block or skip ads, I look forward to coding a script which screen records each video on my sub list, feeds each video with ads into a purpose made classifier model which labels the ads, stitches out of ads with FFmpeg, and then uploads them to my jellyfin server.

Reading the story… it sucks for everyone involved. This is one reason I never honk at motorcycles or bicyclist.

I thought it was real too, but how did they do the fall with special effects? 🤔 Is it a deep fake?

- Comment on How important is flirting within the dating scene? 3 months ago:
Flirting is a pretty nebulous term.
My personal definition of flirting is any positive expression or behavior which:
- Is an exception to your typical behavior or affect.
- Targeted at a specific person, typically someone new.
- Is heightened or marked by increased volume, nervousness, etc.
examples:
A typically reserved guy pulling you aside and animatedly asking about your interest.
A woman who normally doesn’t touch you is repeatedly teasing you about your shirt, pulling on the fabric.
A good friend begins to repeatedly and unexpectedly invite you over for one on one movie nights despite obvious inconveniences.
That’s just my opinion, though. I believe most people are looking for these heightened expressions of flirting to confirm interest.
- Comment on Meaning/implication of “you don’t have to do this” in this context? 3 months ago:
Perhaps they assumed that you felt obligated to speak to them, and they felt the need to absolve you of that obligation. That would be the literal meaning of the phrase.
A different interpretation could be that they didn’t want to continue the conversation. In this scenario, they would prefer to be silent, and by suggesting that, “You don’t have to do this,” they have given you a sort of symbolic agency in ending the conversation, implying that both of you would rather be silent.
- Comment on DeepSeek might not be such good news for energy after all 3 months ago:
This article is comparing apples to oranges here. The deepseek R1 model is a mixture of experts, reasoning model with 600 billion parameters, and the meta model is a dense 70 billion parameter model without reasoning which preforms much worse.
They should be comparing deepseek to reasoning models such as openai’s O1. They are comparable with results, but O1 cost significantly more to run. It’s impossible to know how much energy it uses because it’s a closed source model and openai doesn’t publish that information, but they charge a lot for it on their API.
Tldr: It’s a bad faith comparison. Like comparing a train to a car and complaining about how much more diesel the train used on a 3 mile trip between stations.

- Comment on Suspect freed from custody over suicide capsule death in Switzerland 5 months ago:
This would be valuable context for journalist to include, if true. I personally know someone who died via assisted suicide. She had terminal cancer, and went through a very thorough vetting and consultation before undergoing the process. If this person was not afforded such care, that would terrible.
- Comment on Suspect freed from custody over suicide capsule death in Switzerland 5 months ago:
The bizarre thing about this case is that no reporting outlet seems to explain why anyone was arrested. Assisted suicide is legal in the country under these circumstances.

- Comment on Zuckerberg: The AI Slop Will Continue Until Morale Improves 7 months ago:
Something which clarified Zuck’s behavior in my mind was an interview where he said something along the lines of, “I could sell meta for x amount of dollars, but then I’d just start another company anyways, so I might as well not.”
The guy isn’t doing what financially makes sense. He’s Uber rich and working on whatever projects he thinks are cool. I wish Zuck would stop sucking in all his other ways, but he just doesn’t care about whether his ideas are going to succeed or not.
