Morality is a human construct, nature doesn’t need to enforce what humans perceive to be moral.

Basically this part

"If anyone says that they know for sure that LLMs or future AI systems couldn’t possibly be conscious, it’s more likely to be an indicator of their own dogmatism than a reflection of the current state of scientific and philosophical opinion,” he said.

Current AI systems are unlikely to be conscious, said Jeff Sebo, the director of the Center for Mind, Ethics and Policy at New York University, but “Dawkins is right to ask about AI consciousness with an open mind and I also think that the attribution of consciousness to AI systems will become more plausible over time”.

tl;dr it is unlikely but not impossible and I don’t think we would ever be able to reliably tell.

People have been “nudifying” photos since Photoshop. This is entirely theatrical and won’t really keep it from happening, just not appearing as easily in public.

Just make a Signal account for Gam Gam too.

The only thing that keeps people submissive to the whims of technofeudalism is their intolerance to change, which worsens with age in an inactive mind.

Yeah, I know that it takes a few billion years for a black hole to evaporate or to a dwarf to finally die. So what? It’s simple thermodynamics, you don’t even need to know how any celestial body behaves at all, the universe dies for the same reason your coffee cools down.

Clinging to life is survivorship bias 🙃

Even if we somehow manage to fix our political garbage, go full solarpunk, move to mars before the Sun explodes, and start invading other solar systems, there is only so much free energy left in the universe, the end is certain.

Yes, because we can totally trust our intuitions about everything /s

Gotta know to choose your battles

How about being a fucking parent instead of letting the government do it?

Maybe a little bit of hard work clears up his mind

I think the red graph only represents peoples awareness of fatphobia and not that it is getting eradicated necessarily

The friend I mentioned actively uses Facebook and Instagram. I have tried to argue against it many times but I am getting exhausted. I just don’t want to be forced to use spyware because the majority said so
