There’s a general scientific consensus based on data and measurement, with the understanding that it’s slippery
It is constantly under assault from those who want AI to be conscious, because they get a headline, or they are true believers in some technocratic future, or they’re just fantasists
I agree that there’s a general consensus about consciousness, the rest slips into the messy and pointless world of philosophy
It’s still overreaching to think that it applies to AI as it currently, and foreseeably stands
There’s a world of difference between AI and what’s recognised as artificial general intelligence
AI can do specific things really well at the moment, but as with all complex systems, going from being good at one thing to many things is a leap far greater than the sum of its parts
There is still no good definition for what “consciousness” is
Tech writers are constantly overreaching because they’re afraid to miss out on being the first to say something
The constant sensationalism just means that if something really happens, people will ignore it because we’re sick of hearing people cry “wolf!”
Add to that the fact that computery types like to overextrapolate into other things because it fuels their fantasies, and it’s all bullshit and overactive imaginations
The problem I see so often with smart computer people is that they don’t understand that they don’t know shit about other things
He’s afraid of people being informed by anything other than cable “news”
I’m lucky
I have no children, and never will
My family and I aren’t close
My fiancée and I met through the erotic content that I create, and all my friends are well aware of it
My image has already been shared far and wide (without my permission), so that ship has already sailed
I’ll be dead, and nobody will be worried about my digital legacy whatsoever
I know, however, that I’m very much the exception and not the rule
Yep
It’s awesome
I’m a Luddite though
Thanks!
“Stickmen”
A great film from New Zealand about an underground pool competition
Bloody impossible to find
I hope every single person who has, or ever will, buy a cybertruck a lifetime of misery and misfortune
May they stub their toe on every step for the rest of their life
Too little, too late
Because Texas is a dumb place and Musk won’t act unless he’s forced to
Whoops! Tennessee!
Autocorrect. My phone confused one stupid state for another stupid state
Congratulations on being a part of the problem
The corruption is the whole point
'Murica is broken. It always was. It’s just now public
Netflix was built on people sitting at home, paying halfways attention, being able to pause or watch again
It’s an indictment on the modern life
A good film deserves respect. Leave your phone alone. Enjoy the experience
Johnson is right
Well, Tesla ain’t a great car company, that’s for sure
Their products are shit
I would normally shit all over an idea like this, but I’m willing to bet that Lyonne is going to do something that we wouldn’t normally expect
She’s quite a remarkable talent
Havoc,
And I regret that I could have spent the time pouring lemon juice into fresh cuts instead.
It’s genuinely shitty
Hardy plays a role he had played repeatedly, the same crap American accent
The action sequences are stupid. Apparently every sidearm is a fully automatic weapon with a magazine holding infinity rounds
I kept hoping that it would be so bad that it’d cross over into being campy, but it’s so badly made that it’s a movie that doesn’t even know that it’s shit. There’s no redeeming feature to this film
I’ve seen worse, but not by much. 3/10
He’s a reactionary conservative fuckwit
He made a couple of good movies, but he’s not a good person
